Guiteau.

Last Friday at 12:45 P. NJ, Guiteau,
the assassin Of president Garfield,
paid the penalty Of his terrible crime.
All efforts to induce the President to
grant him a respite failed, as it should

prayer:
"On the gallows, Father, now go to
Thee and the Savior. Ihave finished
the work that thou gavest me to do,
and am only too happy to go from the
world that does not appreciate my
mission, but thou knowest thou didst

the same way. The diabolical spirit

DIR. Barbee.

This gentleman received the Green
back nomination for Congress by the
Greenback Convention held at Park
ersburg last Saturday. The conven-
ton was very slimly attended we
are informed, several of the counties
in the District not being represented
at all. The Doctor hopes to receive
the endorsement of the Republicans
at their Congressional Convention
But from what we can learn from ex-
pressions made by prominent Repub.
licans, he will hope in vain.
But whether the Republican Con-
vention endorses him or not, the De-
mocracy of this District will snow
him under in October next by an
overwhelming majority. There will
be no foolishness about this matter,
this time, Doctor, and therefore we
advise you not to spend your money,
or neglect your practice in the vain
hope and delusion that you can b.
eleeted to Congress.

Republican Convention.

The Republican Convention TO
nominate Delegates to the Congress
ional Convention, July 18th, met in
the Court House, Monday afternoon.
DR.. J. L. Hensley was called to the
Chair.
A resolution was offered by Capt.
John NJ. Reynolds, endorsing Mr.. ].
B. Menager, as an applicant for the
position of U. S. District Attorney,
for the District Of West Virginia.
The Captain made a felicitous little
speech, enumerating Mr.. Managers
many qualifications for the Office,
after which the resolution was unan.
imously adopted.

Taxation-Debt.

While the Radical is bowling
about taxes and the imaginary debt
OF this county, let it lift its voice and
say something about national taxa
ton, which is so excessive and burd-
ensome, that Notwithstanding their
extravaganza, there is q surplus in
the Treasury, yet there is no reduct-
ion in the Nations taxes. Instead of
reducing the taxes by taking it of
the poor farmer who raises a few
pounds of tobacco for market, the
Republican majority in Congress has
sought only to reduce the surplus in
the Treasury by jobs. Of this the
people are complaining, and lis this
exhorbitant taxation that burdens
them, thatis creating strikes through
out the land, and causing so much
discomfort among the laboring peo-
pie. 1t is the direct and indirect
national taxation that people are
complaining Of, and not county and
other local taxation.

The proprietors of the coal mines
and rolling mills throughout the
country, do not. seem to be meeting
their labor troubles in q spirit, such
as COMFORTS with modern ideas. In
stead OF trying to compromise mat
tiers and arrange them satisfactorily
to all concerned, they seem to be de-
termined to drive their men further
and further away from a solution of
their troubles, and seem DESTROYS, if
not anxious to bring on a conflict, in
many places, by appealing for force,
where there is no necessity for it, or
no provocation on the part OF the
strikers. In this country there is no
cause for force or violence, on either
side. These labor troubles are en-
inently case for Cancellation, COM
promise and arbitration. Has any
efforts been made to arbitrate these
difficulties None, whatever. In
the language of an exchange: "Let
each party choose its one, two or
three arbitrators, and let these again
select their referee, and, as soon as
the court has been organized and
adopted rules for its government, let
every matter in dispute be submitted
to it, argued and decided upon the
merits of the case. Such a procedure
will prevent many heart,burnings;
it will save thousands and thousands
of dollars to workmen and proprie-
tors equally, and it will be a triumph
of the spirit Of Cancellation such as
will rebound to the credit of all con.
cerned and will result in far-reach.
ing and important consequences to
every condition Of labor" If this is
done there will soon be a solution Of
this difficulty; the men will 60 to
work and the shops and mines will
resume.

Opposed 10 Fusion.

The Radical comes out this week,
and denounces and opposes fusion"
with the Greenbackers. From the
editorial we make the following ex-
tract:
"Do the Greenbackers represent
our principles? No. TIE one prin-
ciple-the central figure, around
which Greenbackism clusters-is as
far removed from Republicanism as
the stars are from the earth. No one
will assume that there is any affinity
between the two parties, but our fu-
sion brethren say: "Hist, there! we
will beat the Bourbons." Il y 4
But is there any sense in defeating
the candidate Of the Democratic par.
ty by electing man whose princi.
Piles are far more antagonistic to us
than those of the man defeated?
Certainly not. 1t amounts to simply
this: "We will defeat the devil and
give the victory to satan."
The Republicans cannot afford to
indulge in this fusion twaddle any
longer. We have principles for
which to fight. We have honor to
maintain. We have an individual.
ity to preserve, and we must let this
Greenback craze Alone"

Hon. ID. III. Leonard.

Hon. D. H. Leonard, of Wood coun-
ty, candidate for Congress in this
District, has been in the county for
several days getting acquainted with
the people. He is a man that takes
with the people, and made many
friends during his short stay here,
and we believe if it was not for the
fact that Mason county has several
candidates of her own whom she will
present to the convention for this po.
sition, Mr.. Leonard might get a large
share Of the votes of this county in
the convention.

Congress.

The contest for Congress in this,
the Fourth District, is assuming quite
an interesting shape, and the nu.
merous candidates are as busy as bees
among the dear people. OF course
we feel pride in the success Of a
Mason county gentleman, Of whom
there are several, and while we have
our choice among the number, now
named, yet we are unwilling to force
our preference upon the delegates
from this county, rather preferring
that they should select from among
the candidates, the one who 10 their
opinion possesses the largest degree
Of ability and honesty to represent
them with fidelity in the halls Of
Congress. OF course all their names
will be presented to the Convention,
and some will be stronger than 9th.
ers, no doubt, in our county delega-
ton; while others Of them will show
q large outside vote. Would it not
be well then to throw the vote Of
this county in Convention solid for
the candidate from this county who
develops the most strength in the
Convention outside Of the county,
after q ballot or two is had2 We
throw out these suggestions for the
consideration Of our delegates, but
not with disposition to dictate TO
them, or to thrust particular views
upon them. What we say or do is
In the interest of our county, and in
the hope that a county man may be
selected as the standard-bearer of the
Democracy Of the Fourth District,
August 10th.

General Grant used to say that
the quickest way to get rid of bad
law was to enforce it rigidly, then
the people would soon see that it was
not what they wanted. The best
way to get rid Of q bad man-one of
those sour, ill-grained, distempered
sort of fellows, is just to let him show
his hand upon all occasions, and the
people will soon put the proper esti.
mate upon him.

Neither the ban Of accommodation

foregone conclusion, unless he yields
to the demand for constitutional

resigned his position as Minister of

that minister, is not the man best

persons, many of them Of noble birth,
are now incarcerated and awaiting
trial on the charge Of high treason.

port it and to make it a success than
there ever was under republican rule;
and for the time it has been in oper-

ical catechism is just about as weak

it. The Radical must get up some.
