terance to these things, or that he i:
now all this or more, by filling column
after column of the Radical organ Of
this county with his pieces, trying to
show these same things, not only en-
tirely consistent now, but eminently
judicious and wise. Then he declared
he would rather vote for the success
of the Democratic party than to vote
for a Greenbacker, or to enter such
an unnatural coalition. Now his ex-
cuse for doing all this is to beat the
Democrats.
Again, he was asked, "what can the
Republicans hope from the campaign
under such circumstances?' to which
this same Sturgiss, replied, "as to
that regard the State as hopelessly
Democratic. Now; when he must
and does know that both the Repub-
lican and Greenback paties are much
weaker numerically, than then; he
has the assurance and audacity to
say in his pieces that the State is
not Democratic, but clearly anti
Democratic.
Now it may be asked, Why has
Mr.. Sturgiss thus gone back on him
self2 The answer is this: Then he
was not a candidate, now he is. Then
he could see and speak the truth as
he saw it, now his self-interest is so
great as to mislead not only his
tongue but his judgment Or If
this be not it, then he before spake
without knowledge or conviction, or
he does so now, and if this be true
he shows himself incompetent to or
for the position lie aspires to, or any
position above town sargeant-that he
is more competent to execute than To
lead or direct.
Oh, what q delectable and consist
ent pair of pinks Henry and George
do make! And if the Republican
party in this State, in its sickly con-
dition, can long carry that pair, and
their mad rawlings and Inconsistent
cies, then it will show itself to have
more lives than tom cat
But the head of the snake THAT is
to say Archie Campbell, of the Intel

bleeding body, and how long the
poor snake can now live, is hardly
problematical.
The Sun is nearly down, when it

WHO SHALL 1T BE?

Houston, Wade or Hagans, for
Prosecuting Attorney Of the county,
Well, now it is. Houston or Wade
but after awhile, and when the Hon
j. Marshall shall find that nothing
better is left for him at the hands Of
the Republican State or Congress
sional Conventions, then we predict
it will be Houston, Wade and Ha
gans. 1t is true that it may look
like letting down on the last named
gentleman's part, but then better thai
than nothing half loaf is better
than NO bread. So we advise these
young bloods to whet up their swords
and like the wife in the fight be
tween the husband, the bear and the
wolf, we don't care much which
whips. except that We like to see boys
have fair play.

HOW PRETTY?

Yes, how real nice it is for a per-
son who aspires to be Governor from
Morgantown, to have popular faith

the supposed to be, unsophisticated
Democrat from the country, with his
hands rubbing, as if being washed
again, with the sweet and loving sal
.utation: "Mr. -, can't you sup
port George for Governor? it would
be 50 nice for Morgantown to have a
Governor, you know, for then the
University could get any appropria-
tions it would ask for" o how for

with an elephant,and attempted mar

for its folly. Now rumor has it that

How They try to Injure the
State.

The last issue of the Morgantown
Post is rampant with platitudes and
general nonsense about the condition
of West Virginia. In all its rambling
talk about the State being plunged
into everlasting debt by fearful taxa
ton and Encouragement; the driv-
ing away Of immigration by OBJ
noxious laws and other vile and
ruthless develmcnt; it does not
make specific charge and yet it
wastes a whole page in uttcrances,
which boiled down and stripped of
their verbiage mean absolutely not a
thing.
The cue about driving away i'm
migration, that being new dodge,
seems to have been taken from the
Intelhgencer, and in the matter OF
general charges the Post is out-herod-
ing Herod. On the principle, per
haps, if the big dog growls the little
fellow must bark vociferously and
necessarily to make himself heard
Now in all candor we ask our breth-
rem Of the Post if their conscience
will permit them to send such IN
truthful stuff abroad to disparags
our State and damage her interests
for the sake Of few offices? The
Post knows as we'll As ourself the
State is not in debt, on the contrary
that our exchequer is in excellent
condition; that taxation is light as
compared with neighboring Republi
can States; under Democratic rule
she has and continues to provide lib
orally for and watch faithfully ovel
the interests of our schools. Indeed
any opposition at all (if amy to the
present expenditures comes from Re-
publican sources. 1t knows, too, the
present authorities of our State are
not whit responsible for the light
ness of immigration to her borders
They are just as anxious for its de
velopment as anyone else and will dc
all in their power to encourage the
project. There are other causes toe
obvious to need mention that prevent
rapid immigration to this State
Then why publish yarns to circulate
among strangers who know not the
true situation or who as enemies tt
the interest of the State will use them
to her injury? AS was said at the
outset their unspecific quality SC
attenuated them as to make then
comparatively harmless, yet in thu
hands of agents of immigration fol
other States, they make excellent han
dies for gross misrepresentation. LIE

style of warfare and fight us fairl,
