seat, was accosted by Mr.. Hubbs IN
boisterous though not unfriendly man
ner,Ssnd invited totake Q seat by him, ne
remarking that he would not hurt me, or
something to that amount. Not wishing
to appear uncivh and through courtesy TO
Mr.. Hubs, l became seated by him. He:
Immediately began recounting an old
difficulty between himself and some
parties, citizens of Moundsville, designat-
ing them as odd rebels" and then
abruptly turning to me said,
And you are id rebel, too"
.eeing that his object was to provoke
me into personal embroglio l immedi-
ately arose to leave him, he also arose,
cursing me with epethets too indecent
for publication and while / was leaving
the car he attempted to strike me, which
he would have done had he not been
prevented by bystanders. To avoid any
futher difficulty repaired to the baggage
car until we arrived at Benwood. MI.
Hubbs there got out upon the platform
and began cursing me again, still calling
me a d--n s.Rebep. On changing cars
took seat as remote as possible from
him. but could still hear him threatening
me during the run to Moundsville. When
we arrived at Moundsville and while
l was leaving the train Hubs came up
behipd me, saying, "Where is. that d-n
rebel, -" and it was then, after l
had exhausted every effort to avoid a
difficulty, when 'forbearance had ceased
to be virtue" when l was actually
forced in defense of my very manhood
to resent it, that the "murderous blow"
as spoken of by the Intefbgeneer CORES
pondent, was struck.
l have no apology tn. make. Society
demands none, and honorable men,
without regard to their political status,
will acquit me of any wrong. l would
have been more or less than man to have
done otherwise.
desire to say, in conclusion, that in
my opinion the time has passed for pro-
scrOing men for their political senti-
ments and no matter whether man be
"Rebep or "Yankee" or anything else,
he should only be responsible to society
for his good behavior, and this frantic
waving of the "bloody shirt" by "Occa-
sionap is, to use slang phrase, ''too

Editors OF the Register:

during which l remarked that | was q

Now, who this "truly Loyal slime singer

HARMONIOUS WORK ALLTHAT'S
NEEDED.

The State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, having, decided on the time and
Place Of holding the Democratic conven-
ton, and having decided to do all the
work at one time, it benooves the Demo
Gratis of the State TO select good delegates
who will do their whole duty, and put IN
nomination for the various State offices
unexceptionable men. And it is neces-
sary TO accomplish this, and secure sue
cess in our ranks, that harmony and good
feeling should prevail. 1t has become
chronic in this State whenever
any committee or any convention
performs any work, to raise the
cry of ia set up job" and with this cry
to manifest tendency to either be So
called "independent," or at any rate, to
create dissatisfaction and decentralization
in our ranks. This is all wrong, and at
this time especially so, and these dissatis-
fed persons should bear in mind two
things. First, That there are only n
certain number of offices to be filled, and
that it is impossible that everybody In
the State ambitious of office can be
successful. 1t is meet and proper
for man conscicntiously of
the opinion that any other man
is the person for the place, to work hard
and conscientiously for him; but If after
proper deliberation, the convention de-
cides that some other one is still better
suited, and places that one IN nomination,
then it is clearly the duty OF all to
scquesce and work hard for the success
Of the ticket SO selected.
Personal prejudices should be forgotten
and q victory for the party should be all
that Is considered. For land this brings
Us to the second point to be remembered
there surely WAS never in the history of
the country such reasons as exist
at present to induce every
man, sincerely jealous of the good name
and fame of the country to desire
change of administration. 1t is needless
TO recite these reasons. They have by
recent events, been freshly and most dis
agreeably brought to the consideration
of every citizen. The whole government
from centre to circumference, is one mass
of corruption, and it is all the result of
Radicalism. 1t certainly cannot be the
lesire of any man who opposes this cor
:uption, TO consent in any manner, to
turning this State over to such party,
nor if he can help it, TO permit il to bear
rule longer over the nation it has well
nigh ruined and disgraeed.
These things, being considered on in
vocation to the Democrats and Conser-
vatives of West Virginia to determine
to be united and harmonious, will be
daily appreciated. Don't let us have any
abuse of the Convention or the action of
the committee. Let every man strive
conscientiously to right what he thinks
is wrong. Let good ticket be placed
in the field, and then, all
working together tremendously,
and with the determination to give
independents wide berth, not
only will Democratic rule be secured to
this State, but large majority for her
Democratic electors will evince how
earnestly she is the friend OF honesty
and good government.
