RECOMMENDATION of the Democracy.

Recommendation of the Democracy.
2 The Charleston Courier of the Goth il
at hand containing that address to the
Kauawha County Democracy, by a num-
Der OF their leaders, that was heralded tc
the party hereabouts by special dispatch
to the Register few days ago. The
Courier accompanies the address with
double-leaded commentator and says
that "almost all the influential Democrats
of the city, on either side of the only diff
ference that has ever grown up in theiI
councils, have subscribed" to it, and have
Heartily Joined hands to labor for future
success" In other words, the party
throughout the State is given to under
stand that the quarrel between the Bour'
bon and Jacob wings of the DemocracyIlf
made up; that they are now united once
more. and that they have set an example
that ought to be followed by all Demo-
Gratis every where. This is one side OF the
story-WALKER' slde-thc Bourbon side
but there is another side TO it, if the
KnnGwha Chronicle Gov. JACOBS organ
is to bs believed. That very bold anc
outspoken paper comments ON the docu
ment as follows: sE-a- ~
"The Boss Tweed of West Virginia has
succeeded in playing another connuence
game upon unsuspectiDg and honest me y.
We are compelled to give MN cte91t !oI
facility and skill equal to the Faklr OF ava ava
in juggling tricks TO deceive better men
than himself. The last we have heard OF
ia the publication of platform for the
union OF the democracy, quite unob1ec-
tionable in itself, with number OF names
attached Of gentlemen who have hitherto
refused to aid the Bourbons in this State
for the reason that they are not true Gem
ocrata. but a combination OF schemlne
politicians leagued together for personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and nothing else: "
course, these men did not see through INT
trick. or thew would not have loaned the
sanction of iheiT names to document II
pslpable and violent opposition to SOM
of the doctrines set out in itself The mrs
condensed article in the paper referred Il
is:] o..o..,,,,.u. ;. ,,o ,,.,r,ment o
the people, for their own protection anC
benefit, and must not be prostituted tol
sectional, partisan or personal ENDS"
Now, the whole aim, scope, meaning
purpose, design, object, CT the papel
which contains the above, with othel
good doctrines) was 10 aid one single per
con first, and then, after him, the ring
CLIQUE, or combination of which he Is {
member ard in which he has more in
finerce !han any other, and after then
the BIPARTISAN ends OF the ring, clique ant
combination The doctrine OF the mai
who originated that document, ana Cd
iect of obtaining the signatures OF goot
men to the paper, was TO prostitute thu
government to partisan and persona
ends" and nothing else.
The friends of honest government, wht
signed that paper, did rot of course fore
see the full effect OF simply attaching
their names 10 sound democratic doc
trincs, but the editorial Monday morning
in our little neighbor around the corner
must convince them of the mistake they
made in indirectly endorsing treasury
plundering and ring swindling, as it hal
been practised in this State for two years
