NJ. Editor. If q man be not a
straight-out Democrat, he should
make up his mind to DO one right
away, or go over to the goats atonce.
To a man who remains in the Dem.
ocratic lines solely 10 betray them, all
sincere men should say: aYou are a
two-faccd man; you have a fair face
and false heart. Leave our ranksl
We disown you, we will have none
Of you. You have malice IN your
heart andtrcachery in yourt thoughts.
Go away from us, and stand beside
our opponents; we like to look our
enemy in the face. Leave the
ranks!p l
To every true man, let us all say:
"Here is our hand. Stand by our
side, and fight with US for the cause
which we believe to be right and
:
just. We esteem and honor you
We arc proud to call you friend and
brother"
The latter are the men we need at
present. Ifsuch men will only come
to the front now when they are call
ed BY duty, we can we'll afford to let
the black sheep go. The question
which all true men should consider
now, is whether Mason county shall
continue to be pointed at by all
sincere Democrats as the home ofun.
sound political faith-the one weak
spot in the Democratic body of West
Virginia, whore Democrats are con-
sricions for being false to themselves
and true to their political opponents.
We hope and trust that the day is
near at hand when principles, not
men" will be the motto Of every Dem
ocrat throughout the length and
breadth Of this country. Then, and
not till then, shall we have conf.
dence in the future political prosper
ity of its people. JACKSON.

Just So.

Because some Of the county paper,
have been criticising the Wheeling
Registers attempts at INTERVIEWING
Baker grows mad and tries to belittle
the weekly papers Of the State
There is not county paper in the
State, but is the superior of the
Wheeling Register, in both common
sense and decency, because from
them he culls all that is decent, no.
BILE and edifying. An ishmaIite, as he
is, raising his stained hand against
all that is true, noble and good, and
commencing only those whose purse
strings yield readily to his 'avaricc
he has, wrecked himself, and SCARED
the party he pretends to support; an
incubus upon journalism; and such a
fungus on the party that the treasu,

long since indicated the course Of his
blasting absorption. Well do tho
county papers know the truth Of all
this, and more.

Not 10 be sTfsunderstood.

4Sothat we may not be misunder.
stood in the future, let us say that
VIC have great respect for the Green.
back party, earnest and honest, as
they are in Ohio, and us they were
everywhere in the beginning. But
in West Virginia, the Greenback
party simply means Walkers party,
therefore We call them Walkers
Greenbackors, and for these Green.
hackers We have no respect, political,
ly, whatever.

The Greenback Dose.

Before a man takes a dose Of medi.
clue he generally wants to know the
composition Of it. Here is the anal.
ysis: 9o-1oo disappointed otlice-scek.
crs; S-1oO Grant Republicans; 1910
100 Hayes Republicans; 1-1o-loC
Democrat, who was never much Of a
Democrat anyhow. The balance Of
the composition consists of Gibbons

Greenback meeting.

Coal Lind in West Virginia.

Marmet & Co., coal dealers Of Gin.
cinnati, have purchased a large tract
Of coal land on the Kanawha river,
30 miles from its mouth. II consists
of q tract of 4, 100 acres, fully 5000 Of
which is traversed by a vein of Bit
luminous splint coal, two.thirds Of
which is camel, the vein 6 to Ga feet
in thickness, and which, according
TO Mr.. Mermet's calculations, will
yield 100000 bush. to theacre. The i'm
mensity of this coal field can be bet
ter estimated by the reader when it
is stated Messrs. Marmet & Co, ex.
pect to take out and ship between
three and four million bushels per
anum, and that at this rate it will
take from 150to175 years to exhaust
these coal fields. The mines have
not been worked to their full capac.
ity since they were opened, some ten
years ago. 1ncludedin the purchase
is a village of eighty houses, two 10.
comotiyes, coal ears and tow-boat,
and thirty-six barges and hat-boats
for shippingithe coal down the river.

For Goyer.nIor.

We find the following in the Park

speaking Of the different gentlemen
named for The position Of Governor
of West Virginia, has this to say Of
our county.man, Hon, p. {. Eastman:
%Thcre is gentleman in the Third
district whose name has not been
mentionedinthis connection, though
he is deseryingof great consideration
at the hands Of the Democracysof this
State. He belongs 10 a class never
yet represented in the Executive
chair--be Is a farmer;a man fthe
greatest probity of character;of supe-
rior intelligence; a man whose every
step in life will bear the seyerest
scrutiny, and one who never swerves
from the path ofrectitude and honesty
He is honest and capable. as the
representative ofopr most important
industrial pursuit he is entitled to
consideration Every one knows We
are referring to the Hon. P. G. East.

know that he would, as Governorof
this State, do himself and constitu.'

Most heartily weendorse the above.
Any Of the candidates mentioned,
with the addition of Hon. G.. J..
Faulkner or j, n. Camden would be
Acceptable TO us, but Hon. T. G..

of this State, if you want a man
who never sought any Office, cspeci.
