that are in accord with Third District
ideas and Third District measures, They
feel that they have been badly treated by
tho other two districts by the removal Of
tho Capital to Wheeling, and they want

Well, perhapS they have Been Badly
treated. Tho capital had boon per.

question was settled. ! Charleston was the
acknowledged Permanent Seat, But q
now order q things brought with it.ahlew
order Of events. When tho capital was
located in the Kanawha valley, tho Re.
publican party was in power; therefore
the Republican party located II at
Charleston. In 1870 the Democratic
party took control Of tho State. They
were hungry for office. Under the then
existing Constitution n large humber If
Judges, ShcrifFs, Clerks &c., were 10 office
for several years to come. The ravenots
Democrats could not wait for theit
terms Of office to expire, and they

opened the Capital removal question, and
al last L has gone from Charleston to
Wheeling, The Democrats wero In power
when II was removed from Charleston,
therefore the Democrats removed II. |,
think these are proper CONCLUSIONS.
Further, | assert that the Democratic
party, and It only, Is responsible for the
removal, because every Republican In the
State but half dozen, Or less, voted

ton, and every DenpcrNt in the State,
with few exceptions, voted Tor 1t. Now

tuition, which was done by the Democrats
a. a party measure, therefore assert
that the Capital was removed by the
Democratic party. No honest man can
come to any other conclusion, because
the facts aud the argument arc patent to
every thinking mind, and can not DO
gainsaid, ! don't wonder at the cjtl.l
icns Of the Third Congressional District
being onraged. II Is d hard stroke to
Charleston; but II | remember correctly
tic First and Second districts gave d ma,
jOrity against the ratification OF the new
Constitution, but tho Third District gave
n large majority for 1t, and thus secured
itS adoption. Hence nm quite safe In
saying that the Democrats OF the Third
District by their votes said to the people
OF the other two districts that they would
