THE REGISTERS LITTLE
PUMP.
Mighty Interesting Reading.


New Mlrtiu,vlle Democrat
The REGISTERS little pump has been
working away savagely at our political
reservoirs OF wisdom in various parts OF
the State; but the stream which has
issued is rather weak; in fact, the mere
est dribblc. Almost any intelligent far
mer YOU meet can tell YOU more than
your wiscacres seem to know. Yet, 1.-THE
readin' was nifty interestin'."
Read with Avidity at Martinsburg.
Independent.
The Wheeling REGISTER OF Monday
contained several columns more OF n-
tcrviews from Martinsburg. They are
decidedly interesting reading, and the
papers are sought after with ayidity.

IL. :. Walker, editor OF the GrcUbdck
Lcag,,a 0Hd Courier, published at Charles
ton, thinks those gentlemen who have
stated i'm their interviews published in
the REGISTER, that there is no Greenback
party in this State, will be disagreeably
surprised when the returns OF the next
election come in.
Never Said it, and Shan't Take 1T Back.
Tyler County star.
Some time since we stated that Col.
d. ID. Johnson expressed general con-
tempt for the newspapers OF this state.
I'm an interview with the editor OF the
Wheeling REGISTER, last week, the Col
Onel saws: The editor OF the Star aC-
knowledgcd 10 me that he had never
heard me so express myself, and think
he is now satisfied OF his error.
We never said that we heard Colonel
Johnson say so personally. We made
the statement on information, and from
a good and reliable source, we think.
Further, in conversation with him
some davs ago, Colonel Johnson did
not DENY saving so; nor did he satisfy
rs that he had never said such thing.
He only claimed that we put what he
said i'm broader terms than he eX-
pressed il.
Thinks They Deserve 1t.
Grant County Gazette.
The Wheeling REGISTER is still in the
interviewing business. 1t looks as
though there are many men in the State
seeking office, from Governor down.
Even Dan Johnson want to 20 to Con
gress. Ii the newspapers OF his district
do-not cause his defeat, they deserve
the contempt ne holds for them.
Both Confident.
Tyler independent
The Wheeling REGISTER is publishing
a series Of interviews held with the lead
inc men of both the great parties in this
State. Each OF the parties seem to be
confident OF success in the future. The
Creenback party is thought to be a
myth bv all, excepting Henry 5. Walker,
who can see i'm it the great party OF the
future. Henry :. is credited with at
tcmptin. to effect a coalition between
the Greenbackers and the Republicans,
and thereby TO obtain control OF the
Congressional districts and Legislature
As well as State offices.

The Wheeling REGISTERS interview
ers are developing a good deal OF guber-
Material timber in this State. Among
/ thegentlcmrn mentioned as worthy and
every way fitted for the exalted position
of Chief Executive of West Virginia is
| Mr.. Joseph Gallaher, OF Moundsville.
/ Ii he possessed no qualifications for the
| Governorship. his name would commend
him. We will await other developments
! before we announce that We are mot
I for Jo." Mr.. G.. is a staunch Democrat,
a gentleman OF political and business
sagacitv. and. we doubt not, could be
very well trusted at the helm OF the
/ state. He is not a relative OF ours, but
he is none the better or worse for
/ that.
Quite a Commotlon.

The Wheeling REGISTER is making
I quite a commotion in the State politics
