Your structures on an impromptu sen.
tence, in u letter from a subscriber in
this county, should not pass as containing
the "True Gospel" without a hearing
from those who dissent touching an en-.
dorsement Of Hayes policy, and who
favor a bimetallic standard.
The compliment yon pay 10 the stern
and persistent loyalty Of a majority OF
our people is deserved. For years the
Steenrods, Newmans, and sherrard Glen.
ens, who assumed to be the c~ustodians OF
General Jackson's ghost, carried our
county in their brooches pockets.
The Jefersonian test, Is he honest, is

our suifrages was often ignored, but it
was a sine qua non that the candidates
must have on the lapel Of his coat the
magnetic label OF Democrat to secure
their confidence and support. Nothing
short Of a moral earthquake could shake
this blind confidence. That earthquake
came in lS60'Ol. The innate virtue and

Hayes, having several impracticable
theorists in his Cabinet, has verified what
his predecessor found utterly impracti-
cable, and ia making a pretty fiat OF 1t.
The President shuts his eyes to the
practice and traditions Of all his pre-.
decessora since jackson, in not comforting
on the Republican Representatives In
Congress the chance TO make suggestions,
as we think they should have a voice in
all appointments in their States and dis
tricts, and after thus giving loyal men
the cold shoulder, permits, ii popular
rumor Is true, Hampton, Gordon and
Stephens 10 advise and control appoint
ments In their own States.
This running with the hare and hold:
log to the hound" policy, We loyalists Of
M~onongalia cannot approve, andit a splt
with the President must come we wash
our hands OF 1t. 1t is not US that did 1t.
There ia neither sense nor poetry In try
lug TO straddle the white horse Of loyalty
and the black horse OF treason at the same
time. We can see nothing lovely In 1t,
and are down on II.
