THE political affairs Of the Second Con.
gresaionSl District arc largely under the
patronage ofthe Morgantown Post, and we
are warned not to poach on its premises
by any impertinent suggestions. This
exelusiveness 10 an improvement on the
old Virginia idea OF State sovereignty.
1t is reduction Of that idea to It's lowest
common denominator, Every editor
should have a little patch Of his own to
cultivate is the English Of 1t. That
may do for a paper printed
for private circulation, but Tor a
j ournal that goes al over the State,
and receives and publishes letters from
every county In 1t, the suggestion comes
too late in the ninteenth century. The
election Of member Of Congress Is cir
cumstance that deeply concerns the people
ofthe whole State, and, for that matter,
the people Of the whole country, and is
not "privste pudding" by a good deal.
The INTRLLIoENCER circulates in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and cor.
respondents in all these States discuss
their local Affairs, including their politics,
in our columns, and expect US in turn to
comment on their concerns.
We presume the trouble in the Second
District is the character Of our comments.
That is what ails the Post. Itis not the
fact OF our preauming to discuss the status
oI political affairs there, but rather that
we do not discuss them to suit the Post.
The squatter-soverGIgns who run that
paper will probably get their ideas en-.
larged little by The time the campaign
Is over,
