AN ARLE CORRESPONDENCE.

We were pleased to form the acquaintance,
on Governors day, Of Mr. N. G.: Gonzales, OF
the Ne,vs and Courier staff, who is travelling
with the State canvassers, and as representa-
tive of the Necs and Courier rendering the
State and the Democratic party eminent SER
vice by the able and graphic accounts of the
progress of the campaign, transmitted daily
by wire. His dispatches contain "lines OF
encouragement" from the mountains to the

sIINES Of ENCOURAGEMENT.v

The crowded condition of our columns to-
day prevents any extended editorial notice of
the grand demonstration of the York Democ-
racy on Wednesday of last week; and even
had we the space at command, such allusion
would be unnecessary. The proceedings Of
the day, written out in full by our own re-
porter, tell the story, and furnish "lines OF
encouragement" to all who were deprived the
pleasure of participating in what the State
canvassers emphasized as the most enthusias-
tic meeting of the campaign.

Don't Understand.

A writer in the Weston Demo-
crat says, he can't understand why
the FREEMAN should oppose Mr..
Good, and not have a word against
Golf.
1t is sufficient to answer that the
FREEMAN opposes Mr., Good because
he has been and still is the enemy
of the peoples measure to have the
Amendment submitted, while Mr..
Golf has been from the first and
still is openly and avowedly in ia
vor of submission. And as to the
personal character and habits Of
the two gentlemen, all who know
them are struck with the contrast
in Mr.. COTS favor. AS to their
party politics, we have no choice.
The points the FREEMAN looks to
are above and higher than party,

"Wiso as Serpenis."

1t does seem that temperance men
ought to be as wise as serpents,
but observation teaches us that
very often those that traffic in that
which at the last "biteth like a

The liquor men always vote for
their selfish interests and for the
cursing of their fellows, regardless
Of party, creed, or color, while tenn

Shall such be recorded of tenn

Braggadocio.

The FREEMAN readers will bear
witness to it's wonted reluctance to
parade any mans drinking habits
before the public, nor has it scarce
ly referred to this in the candidate
for Congress in the First District.
We did say, a few days after Mr..
Goods nomination, that in his eff
forts with the liquor men, to defeat
the amendment, he "drank with
those who drank, &c. That he
should deny this is most remarka-
bic, in view of what everybody IN
Wheeling knew to be true, and
that he should boastingly in pub
lie speech, as at Middlebourne the
other day, "offer $25 to any man
who had seen him take a drink,
is the baldest sort of braggadoclo,
and brings to us from responsible
business man the offer to furnish
the affidavits of a half dozen truth
full men who saw him drinking IN
saloon in Weston during the
gathering of the Convention that
nominated him.
Is this he that should speak for
sober and temperate people, IN
Congress?
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-10-04
Let this Explain 1t.

We will not trouble our re aders
with any further reference to the
SentinerS mIsquoted remarks OF Rev.
Mr.. Garter, but simply cite the FOL
lowing, to show who is in the habit
Of perverting language. -.
This is from the Sentinel OF last
week:
"The Journal says Mr.. Carter
lacks sense and Judgment. Say
Carter! before you make any more
speeches you would better consult
the Journal, and find out what you
must say. They allow no one to
interfere with their self-lmPosed
prerogative of furnishing intellect
for all Republicans, whether preach
ers or politicians"
And this is what the Journal
really said:
"If the Rev. Mr.. Carter made the
remark in regard to the City Coun-
ell which he is reported as making,
he displayed neither good sense nor
good judgment. We don't believe
he said it."
And this may explain the Sentj-
meps charge that "Ike johnson"
furnished it the report of "what
Mr.. Carter said" as originally pub
lished in the Sentinel, and referred to
by the Journal, as above.

Second District.

Mr.. W. L. Wilson has been nomi-
mated by the Democrats of the Sec
ond District. For the sake Of the
West Virginia University, we re-
greet that President Wilson, who
was so rapidly gaining the affec-
lions of the friends Of the Universe
ty, should be taken away, and
thrust suddenly into the political
arena, when such a wide field of
usefulness seemed to be open be-
fore him in the educational work.
But would to God that more of
the politicians were men Of like
character. Their influence would
purify the political atmosphere,
and end all unsavory jobs in Con
gress.
Both Mason and Wilson, are
men Of high character and re-
speciality. We don't know what
the "mud singers" will do in that
district.

Plunge into the War.

Rev. 7. T. Trasl1er has written a
red-hot denunciation against the
modern liquor traffic, and winds up
by saying: eve will put on the
uniform of soldiers, and with tact,
courage and endurance plunge in
to the war against making, vend-
ing and selling intoxicating liq-
uors. What is success in politics
if our children be ruined and life's
enjoynents are all blighted? Liq-
uor is fountain Of violence to be
overthrown by the majesty of pub
lie opinion lawfully enforced.
Let every temperance soldier
prove his loyalty next Tuesday, by
a gallant charge at the polls against
every hireling Hessian of the liz
uor traffic that the enemies of our
happy homes put forward.
If any candidate for any office
be for license or not for the amend
ment, let him be stricken down
without parley, no matter what
party flag he follows.
This is our politics." and you
may call it, Republican, Democrat
ic. or both. as YOU like.

We have a note from Asa N.
Woodford, Democratic nominee, IN
the Tenth Senatorial District, re-
ferring to criticisms that had ap-
peared in the FREEMAN in refer
ence to his position on certain
questions and his habits, and ask
ing us-to publish a card which he
has circulated defining his posi-
tions &c.
We cheerfully give our readers,
so much of the card as refers to the
one important issue concerning
which the criticisms complained
Of were made by our correspondents,
which reads as follows:
Now, as some of those who OPP
pose my election are endeavoring
to place me in a false position upon
some of the questions agitating the
public mind, | beg leave to state
my views thereon.
First, I am in favor of submit

amendment to the Constitution
prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors within
the same.

Gus other matters not pertinent

tice to Mr.. Woodford, our temper

Count the Black Columns.

MrGoodis insisting on the stump
that should the amendment be
adopted, liquor men should be re-
imbursed for their losses, but he
says nothing about the accumula-
ted losses, the traffic has brought
to the people, that are enumerated
in black columns of calamities.
sufierings, sorrows and woes. We
want Congressman who can count
these black columns of losses.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-10-04
Not That.

The FREEMAN is not charging
that Mr.. Good is a "drunkard," or
a "dissipated," man as those terms
are generally understood, but it is
charging that he has been the
leader and helper, and still is the
friend, and if elected will especially
be the representative of those
whose trade it is to make drunkard8.
viii the christian and temperance
people have such a man as their
representative?
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-10-04
On Both Sides.

In a speech in Gilmer county,
Mr.. Good stated that he now favor
ed prohibition, and if the matter
should come before the people ne
would vote for 1T.
At Middlebourne, in Tyler coun-
ty, nearer home, he admitted that
he had opposed the Amendment,
was still opposing it, and defended
himself and the liquor men III OPP
posing it.
"You pays your money and takes
your choice" Mr.. Good must
think there is no communication
between the extreme ends OF the
district.

J. Hanson Good. the Polls.
ISSUE OUT OF CHANCERY.
This is one of the many branches
OF the notorious and ever recurring
case of
OUR BOYS VS.. YOUR BUSINESS,
that has cost incalculable expense
and trouble in every court in the
land, and comes on now to be final
ly heard before the jury Of voters of
the First District upon certain ques-
tions of fact alleged by the COM
plainants, the People, against the
defendent, Good.
THE BILL OF COMPLAINT,
charges in substance, that the
said Good intent on gain to him
self and wickedly devising hurt and
mischief to the complainants and
to their homes and families, did,
with evil purpose, conspire with
the brewers and liquor men, against
the will and prayers Of the people,
in defeating the prohibitory amend
ment.
To this bill, the defendant files
conflicting answers; first in his
as published in the Weston Demo
crat, he admits the conspiracy for
the purposes charged, but alleges
it was for pay and not malicious.
This part of the answer must be
stricken out as in contempt Of
Court and against public policy, as
it is revolting to all ideas of law and
equity to excuse wrongful act by
showing that the wrong doer was
hired to do the deed
But further answering the de-
PENDANT denies categorically that
"any effort was made to defeat the
amendment" and this would put
the complainants to the proof, but
for his second and
SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWER,
as made in his Tyler county
speeches, wherein the defendant
boldly admits and defends his ac-
ton in defeating the amendment,
boastfully asserting that the brew
ers were right and ought to be
protected, and glorying in the vic
tory he had gained for them in
forestalling the prayers Of the peo-
pie.
To these remarkable answers we
have
THE PEOPLES REPLICATION,
setting forth in detail sundry
specific acts of the defendant in
hindering, delaying and thwarting
the right Of the people to have a
vote on the said amendment. The
Court is constrained to observe
that in some respects this is a
most
REMARKABLE CASE.
The defendant, Good, both adj
mits and denies all the material
allegations in the bill and but for
other proofs in the case the jury
might be confused in endeavoring
to decide where he tells the truth
and Ujce Uer8a. But with all the ev-
idence before you, gentlemen Of the
