A Day of Reckoning.

The red-headod imported editor of
the Parkersburg Journal is trying to
Guido Brick Pomeroy in billinsgato.
He seems to have personal spite at
Capt. Gibson, and the meanest, low
est and slanderous language the edi-
tor can can conceive of, is hurled ut
him weekly. But we can tell Mr..
White that that kind Of journalism
is not appreciated in West Virginia,
and more, that there will be a day
of reckoning, and that he will be
called to account for his slanders.-
The conduct of the paper since the
Democratic Congressional Conven-
ton, shows that the editor of the
Journal isnot possessed of one particle
of manhood or honor. He is so base
and depraved that he would not be
decent enough to be on the editorial
staff Of the Police Gazette.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1882-09-13
Mpnlnsi lin.

The difficulty in the Second Dis.
trict has been amicably arranged and
the Democracy Of that District are
again a unit. Hoge and Lucas have
both Withdrawn, and new Conyen-
tion has been called to meet at Pied.
mont, September Goth, to nominate
a candidate for Congress. This act,
ion on the part of Hoge and Lucas,
is u sore disappointment to the Re.
publicans of the Second District
They had hoped that the division
would continue, and they did all in
their power to perpetuate it, hoping
thereby to elect Mason, the Ropubli.
can candidate from that District
Judge James Morrow, Jr., of Fair.
mont, is spoken of as likely to re.
ceive the nomination at Piedmont
There is probably no man that Dis.
trict who could come nearer com.
handing the entire Democratic vote,
than Judge Morrow.

Therefore Vote the Democratic
Tick ct.

The political history of this coun,
try presents no parallel to the pres,
ent unblushing extortion OF money
from clerks and employees Of the
Government to be used for campaign
purposes. Lists of such victims are
carefully made out, the amount to be
extracted from them set opposite
their names, and the agents Of Hub.
bell are given permission to visit the
Departments as often as they desire
to do so, and to make personal de.
mand on each employee for the
amount for which he has been assess
ed. If he pays promptly, his name
is struck of the list; if he delays, he is
cheerlully assured that thoagent will
call en- him again.
1t is estimated by those who have
calculated the number Of employees
Of the Government and the amount
