being q Democrat and at the same time to

he would be traitor and under every law,
whether civil moral military, or political,
deserves accommodation from the Demo

Corr has correctly stated Mr. DAVIS posi-
ticn the first prompting to man of honor
would be to resign his place as a delegate
to Chicago, for no man who has before

honor hold seat in Democratic Conven-

As Mr.. DAVIS has not sent in his resigna-
ton as delegate, and as we believe him to
be a man of honor, we are prepared to hear
from him full denial of the Republican
SANDER concerning his disloyalty to the
Democratic party of West Virginia. Gen

opportunity for a denial and it must be

his business. A half-sleepy expression
is all the pedestrian might notice, but he
is far from asleep. He reads his man in

strange if he does not know the kind of
bargain to offer that will please. He
is a prototype On the pawnbroker, and in
the course of time expects to graduate
INTO that business, the only trouble at
present being his lack OF capital. He is
the recipient of many cuffs and harsh
words. but he takes them meekly and is
never abashed.

the reporter TO his room and investing
