The "Hoodoos" Again.

Jackson litrdLu.
Our article on the subject OF the
"Hoodoos," published few weeks ago,
is copied by the Wheeling REGISTER
with remarks upon it that gives it
rather more prominence than il is per-
haps entitled to, and perhaps We made
more OF the subject than there is in II.
The latter We tried to guard against and
distinctly stated that We did not know
much about what there was in it, or
what it might amount to, but there is
something of the kind going on We do
know and we had not seen it mentioned
before.
The REGISTER in its Introductory re-
marks makes few miss-statements,
which if it had not scanned hastily"
our article it might have avoided. 1t
SAYS:
1--WE are indebted to the Jackson Her
aid for the first announcement We have
seen of the name of the new Organiza-
ton reported to have been forming in
the Third District, for some time past,
for political purposes. "Hoodoos," the
Herald says, lis the title OF this myster-
ious faction"
What We said was that these "more
than one organization" were known in
slang phrase in this locality as Hoo
docs" But this is unimportant. The
idea that We attempted to convey SIM
ply was that there were several Organi-
cations in the State-here, there
and everywhere-of wOrkingmen,
who are apparently moved by SINH
lar ideas Of things, but who are
organized into different socie-
tieS-ditferent organizations in fact, but
the same in effect These We call Hoo
docs for want of the proper names, with
which we are not furnished. We did
not read all those interviews in the REG
ISrER, and some we did "scan hastily"
as the REGISTER says. Life is short.
Some of them did allude TO secret organ
izations in the Third district, but we in
ferred that they had reference TO the
National Greenback Labor Organiza-
ton which Henry ). Walker talks
about a good deal in the same manner
that Mrs. Camp used TO talk about "Nliss
Harris" If those gentlemen gave any
information in regard 10 these organiza-
tons, that certainly escaped our notice.
We do not 'look upon the matter
as constituting the principal factor
in the politics in this State, as it seems
TO the REGISTER, but stated that it, may
become an important factor" We ere
gard il with some interest" for some
thing like the same reason that detec-
tive always regards with good deal of
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1879-07-25

AND now since the Jackson Herald has
shown its hand, We believe We know
more about the "HoodOOs" than it does.
But we have none of them up here.
We are politically open and above
board. We have nothing politically to
conceal. We bask politically in the
bright, pure sunshine of an unclouded
political sky. The atmosphere about
us politically is sweet and fresh.
There are no nauseous vapOrs political
ly speaking, emenating from our body
polite. There are no dark spots on
our political escutcheon. Politically,
every thing is lovely in this section OF
the State. 1t is calm politically as a
summerevening. The man in the moon
is always heard to snuff our political at
mOsphere with delight when he passes
over us. No, indeed! there are no
"Hoodoos" up here. They are indigin-
Gus to the third district. They thrive
only in troubled waters. They would
not bear transplanting. They would
not live in our genial climate. We want
no "HOodoOs" in ours.

interest anything that he does not un-
destand, which may have same bearing
on his case. III the REGISTER will seek
for this organization, Tor some Of these
in Ohio county, in the city of Wheel
ing, it will probably find something oil
the same sort. We have seen out crop
pings of the thing occasionally in the
local columns of that paper, and III near
ly every West Virginia paper with
which we exchange.
We think it may amount to some
thing, and that it may be worthy OF
some attention, from the fact that there
is an apparent restiveness among the
people. They are growing weary OF car
rying the loads of fossils and antedilu-
vians, who are now pressing upon the
State, as barnacles on the Democratic
majority. We have heard SO much OF
this that we are convinced that 1t is
fact. And We have heard so much oil
it that We believe it to be a fact that
unless the Democratic party soon
shakes off its load of old fogies and old
ideas, the people will soon shake it
off. We did not see much of this spirit
i'm the REGISTERS interviews, as far as
we read, and those who did speak OF re-
forms did not impress us very much
with their sincerity. A reform that
would put them into office was what
they were in favor OF, as We looked at 1t,
and that seemed to he about all the i'll
terest they had in the matter.
We believe that the REGISTER has OBJ
served desire for reform among the
people, and we have noticed in its col
umns indications of a "kick' against
the rule of the ancients. Its editor is
too wide awake himself to care about
extending his energies for those who
sleep-too progressive business man
not TO see that the business interests OF
our State demand a business-like gov
ernment-toO astute a politician not to
perceive that something is going to be
done, and too good a Democrat not to
hope that the Democratic party will
do it.
We do not anticipate that the Hoodoos
will overthrow the Democratic party in
| West Virginia, or that Walker, MOtiett,
Brown & Co. will be able to do it, even
with the Republicans to help them.
There does not seem to be much cohesion
among them. But if "every one that is
i'm distress, and every one that is in debt,
and every one that is discontinued"
should gather themselves unto even the
least of these, he would be very apt TO
get majority. And that is what's the
matter with the HoodoOs.

AMONG other provisions, the Legisla-

Congress contained an appropriation of
$4,000 for negotiations with foreign
governments in reference to the inter
national reconciliation of silver. 1t is
understood that the Secretary OF State
will at once open the necessary corre-
spondence upon the subject, and ii the
questions at issue are favorably dis
cussed, commissions will probably be
sent abroad to operate in competition
with foreign governments in perfecting
any plan that may seem to be feasible.
