OrR friends up at Wheeling had better
question. Dodging isabout played out
Huntington AtltertiSer, (D'm).
This is IL valuable piece Of advice and il
may be safely assumed that the Democracy
OF this district will lay it to heart and act
upon it in the next canvass. They under
took what they considered fine piece OIL
strategy at Weston when they concluded to
dodge the question, but the voters rcmenl.
bered that passage OF Scripture which says
that those .'who are not for me are against
me- and therefore the Tariff peoplcse the
Democracy down rs against them and re-
garled and treated them accordingly. Our
friend Palmer, OF Brooke county, warned
the Weston committee on platform how
this would be, but that committee were
wiser in their own conccit thrn seven
men who can render 4 reason" aud so des-
pite good advice they put their foot in il,
just as the Democracy are always prone to
TO when an opportunity presents itself.
However the dullcst scholars finally
learn something in the school Of exp.ri-
cnce. Tuition comes high in that school,
but "dear bought, well taught" is M cd
and valuable adago, They will not dodge
the next time. The only difficulty will be
that voters will regard their confession Of
faith, whatever it may be, as having teen
extorted from them by the pressure OF ne
cessity, and will not take much stock in it.
Confidence is n plant OF slow growth"
and it does not follow cxtortcd confessions
