The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1880-03-06


cradle in the party, and therefore his
good will is worth something.
If we are not mistaken Mr.. Camp
bell is in favor of Dr. Logan for
Governor. .e
To be sacrificed for the good of the
party, is great object with the Rad
ical leaders this year, as in the event
Of a Radical being elected to the
Presidency, he will naturally have
the sympathy of the National Ad-
ministration; and in the division of
the spoils, a fat portion may come in
to the possession of. the slaughtered
lamb.
We do not know, nor do we care,
whether or not Mr.. Campbell has
encouraged Mr.. Sturgiss in his
desire to be the Radical standard
bearer this summer, but of one thing
we are convinced, and that is that the
editor of the InteHtgeacer will sup
port Mr.. Sturgiss very unwillingly.
But there are other things which
need the attention of the Radical
curbstone politicians of Morgantown.
Everything is not lovely in the Rad
zeal camp of Monongalia county.
The last few elections have some
what opened the eyes of the Radical
whippers-in. A great many honest
Radicals would not submit to be
driven against their will by the par
ty lash. They began, and did kick
out of the traces, and will do so
again. These refractory members of
the party have to be looked after.
Some plan must be devised to bring
them back to the fold.
Another cause Of anxiety to the
Stalwart leaders here, is the Constitu-
tional amendments. Here they have
gotten themselves in nice trap. In
stead of letting every person vote as
he pleases, they have applied the
party lash, and want to force all the
''loyar" to vote for said amendments.
Now we know of many influential
Republicans, who in their own iudg-
ment favor the present County Court
system, and who condemn, in not
mild terms, either, the foolishness Of
dragging them into politics. Some
thing must be done to silence and
bring over those parties; and how
can it be done more efIectualy than
to meet in secret conclaves?
"Whom the gods wish to destroy,
they first make mad" This is true
with the Radicals Of this State. They
began the canvass very early with a
secret and foul conclave in Wash
ington; they have since been holding
secret meetings all over the State. 1t
reminds us of the old Know Nothing
times,if what we have heard of them
be true. But all their meetings, bun
combe, gas and cheek will avail them
nothing with the masses Of the peo-
pie.
A party whose acts in the past ri
val in tyranny the develish blue laws
of Connecticut, cannot be trusted.
From the hills and valleys of our be-
loved State, the intelligent and free
voters will rush, like an avalanche,
upon those very same men, who
again would rivet the chains of sla-
very around them, as they have done
before. No. never! never! will they
trust themselves again to the tender
mercies Of that ravanous crew, who,
like the devil fish. suck the life blood
out of everything which they can
embrace within their Shiny arms.
Do you wish again to see regis
tration law? A Jurors test laws? An
attorney law? A school teacher law?
These are the beautiful children
Of Radical parentage. No, we do
not. Let them caucus. Let them
crawl into their dark holes to concoct
dark measures--it seems as though
they are ashamed of the daylight.
Their secret caucusing will do no
person any harm, it is like murder, it
will out. Away with your profound
secrets"
The Democratic faith Of West
Virginia is built on solid rock, and
all the devices of the Radicals
will not prevail against it. Never
again will Radical yoke disgrace
the necks Of Vest Tirgiaia free
men. "Death to tyrants!" is the
mothers motto, and "MOUNTAIN-
EER'S ARE ALWAYS FREEw is
the child's battle cry.
