Ewing and Rice--Boys who Wore
the Rlte.

we are not only pleased with the
selection Of Gems. Ewing and Rice as
the standard-bearer of the Dcmocra-
cy in Ohio, but we, are more than
pleased with the ring of the platform.
1t is the battle-cry of liberty-a war
against oligarchical government and
against tyrannical laws. There is
not word in it which we do noten.
dorse, and no sentiment that any
Democrat can condemn.
Gen Ewing is well known through
out Ohio. He is an eloquent and
forcible speaker, good worker, and
will make an energetic canvass. AS
D Union General he took part in the
late war with credit to himself and
his Government. He has a national
reputation, and we believe he will
be elected Governor of Ohio.
Gen. Rice was a fighting man in
the late war, and no one would ever
question his loyalty, He served two
terms in Congress, closing with the
session previous TO the present. He
is the author of the recent back pen
sion bill, and will greatly strengthen
the ticket among soldiers Of the late
war.
There were no military men pres,
ent at the Republican nominating
convention, and they selected a civil
man as their candidate. The Demo,
cratic convention was presided over
by brave general in the late warsit
nominated one general for Governor
and another for lieutenant governor.

Our State.

Considerable attention is now
being directed TO West Virginia by
the newspapers and their correspon-
dents as well as by other means. A
letter in the Boston Bulletin of recent
date closes as follows:
mo other virgin State offers such
inducements; for as to great or great.
eradvantages of soil, climate and for
est and mineral wealth as are pesses-
sed by the more Western States it
adds the still greater advantage Of
close proximity to the seaboard, and
consequent cheaper transportation to
all the great markets of the world
IT lies directly at our doors, and o
ride ola little more than thirty hours
will bring its citizens to any Of the
principal cities of the Union.
And this, in another aspect, is an
important consideration to the emil
grant from the North. He may not
be satisfied with his new home. If
he goes to the Far West, it is, as it
were cut off from his base Of supplies.
Should his funds have given out, he
cannot return if he would. But in
West Virginia he can, inan emergen-
cy, take his legs and be back in his
old home before he has half worn out
stout pair ofbrogans."

Card From DE Chatrman or the
Republican Executive Com.
Iniltee.
Mr.. Editor: ] ask the privilege Of
replying TO the following local, ap-
pearing in the columns Of your pa
per, III the issue Of June 4th, fS79.
"a bloody shirt campaign has been
agreed upon by the Chairman Of the
Republican Committee Of this conn-
ty." Having the honor to be the
Chairman Of that Committee, and
knowing that no action has been
taken.by the Committee in reference
to the Campaign" in the manner
you speak Of, or in any other way,
and never having any intentions or
desires personally, or agreed, with
any one, upon bloody shirt cam
paign, | feel it my duty to make q
public denial Of your charge. What
your object is in thus early making
an attack on me, am unable TO i'm.
agine, unless by your bitterness you
hope to se!iditr yohf parts, OF to in
jure me personally if the former be
your object, j was not aware Of my
Importance, if the latter be your
motive, | am surprised that a Demo-
.crat, who always processes to be gem
erous and truthful, should make
such a statement, though / have no
apprehensions Of the consequences.
Respectfully,
JAMES B. MENAGER.
OF all touchy individuals, Mr.. Me-
mayer, Chairman of the Republican
Executive Committee, Is the touch
lest. The bloody shirt is one of the
fundamental planks of the Republic
can party. 1t is its second nature,
and The very existence of the party
depends upon a liberal use Of this
garment. 1t has been the stock in
trade Of this Chairman aud his adyi.
sers for many years. We are glad to
know that Chairman Menager, has
the manliness, in public print, to
condemn and denounce the policy Of
his party. All, Mr.. Chairman, your.
party will hardly endorse your
course, and you will be castigated
until you retract.
You presume a great deal Mr.
Chairman, when you consider every
thing uttered against your party as
personal to yourself, and intended to
"injure you personally"
The Chairman being still at sea
whether to be a candidate for County
Judge or not, he smothers his bloody
shirt feelings, in the hopes of delu-
ding the greenbacker and working
man. He coyets the position, but
knowing that the Republican party
is not strong enough to elect him,
he writes the above card in the hope
of uniting the other elements in his
favor and by such a combination to
be elevated TO the Judgeship. But
he can't find any one among the Ma.
tionals willing to take the risk of
pushing him forward.

sTl,e Red Men,,

West Virginia isiacquiringa very
unwholsome and unenyiablc reputa-
ton among her sister States as being
u sort Of head centre for desperadoes
and lawless doings Save Kentucky
there is no other State this side Of
the territories where the law is def
ed with as much non-chalance and
recklessness as in our own. If the
disgrace and harm caused by the
work Of the "Red Men" in jackson,
Wood and Wetzel counties did not
extend outside of their limits we
might not demur sol bitterly. But as
the innocent must suffer with the
guilty, it behooves the orderly and
law-abiding majority to protest in
an unmistakable and effective way
against characters who are despoiling
the fair name Of the State. This de-
plorable state of affairs is chronicled
in papers outside Of our own borders,
to the States great injury. lmmi.

scenes recently enacted in Wetzel,
never occur. The correspondents of
the press tell Of the persons leaving
their families and hiding in the
woods. One case is cited where the
family, with the few traps they could
carry away with them, had to leave
for Pennsylvania, because the head
Of the house was threatened By the
"Red Men" with being compelled to
"fall down on rope" "a new phrase
for hanging recently coined where
this summarily style Of Justice is
much in vogue) if he did not get out
of the country within a certain num.
Der of hours. This is not all. Com
plants were made to the Justices Of
the peace. They were threatened
with lynching if they dare issue a
warrant for the apprehension of any
of the gang. For a while all the
usual processes Of the law were
stopped. The justices were actually
frightened out Of their wits for a
time. But there was one justice, let
it be said to his credit, A. NJ. Morris,
of Burton, who has defied the ''R.d
Mems threats Of vengeance, and at
this writing had issued warrants for
quite a number of them and was pre-
pairing to try them. If the justice
is interfered with in any way in the
prosecution Of his duties, a petition
should be at once addressed to the
Governor with the necessary sigma
lures, and facts contained therein

be posse at Littleton, or anywhere
else required, who will see that the
law is enforced. Prompt action
should be taken TO end these dis
graceful proceedings. When men
cannot govern themselves, they are
unfit to govern aud should be SO
taught. Let it be at once known
that such gangs" as the aRed] Mem
will not be couptenanced In West
Virginia, and then such hwlessness
will be at an end hereafter. = ClarEs.

Having determined to fight the
next political campaign on the
bloody shirt issue, the Republican
leaders are bent upon reviving the
hatreds engendered by the war
against the South, and do not hesitate
to resort to any measures calculated
to secure that end, Reports of the
proceedings on Decoration day
throughout the North, show that the
occasion was generally seized upon
to TRY tomanufaeture political capital
for that party. There were some
notable and, honorable exceptions,
but in most instances the addresses.

zeal harangues in behalf Of the party

The Michigan Legislature has en-
acted a law that declares Offices va
cant in all cases where the incum-
bents are convicted of being intoxi-
Gated, and which provides for the
filling of such vacancies without de-
lay. Men of all parties, many Of
whom had declined to support the
new and more stringent legislation
now pending in this body, voted
cheerfully for this measure. It is
quite certain that the moral effect of
the law, if it is vigorously enforced,
will accomplish more for The temper

and ended in dissatisfaction to all
parties. We hope to see the same
