,UDE CAMPAIGN IN WEST YIR-


GINA.
We find in the Philadelphia Times an in
ts<rew with one of the Blaine managers iu
Penhsylyania in which the campaign in
West Virginia is outlined in the following
langrage:
Tic war IS going to be carried into
Aitiea this campaign said an enthusiastic
admirer Of the man from Maine; "Galusha
a. Brow has packed his griPsack and gone
TO Nest Virginia. | told him he wouldn't
have anything TO eat but hog and hominy,
and be said he didn care, and, opening his
mouh, he exhibited an elegant new set of
tech wouldn't swear they were got for
the occaSiOn, but they looked new. And
h. isOuiv a forerunner Of host OF the best
faleet in the Republican party that will be
senfto the Uilds Of West Virginia Why,
| 4here are eopl" living in that State whose
kHoEledge Of the world is bounded by their
horizOn and wbo never had shoes on their
FEET. winter or summer. West Virginia will
b iound in the Republican column in No
gember
/ So it seems that it is upon the hypOthe-
SIS hat she West Virginia people are a set
|of S1nbecile barbarians, but little higher
| in fhe scale Of civilization than the ModOc
lndians. the Republican managers are
hyinS the ropes to capture this State BY
|7neral use Of soap" We remember few
e4nss ago when the then editor Of the In
tr|l;eeuCer laid aside the editorial quill and
|1slicatCd the tripod to go out into the IN
|s<s;nr of our State to teach the superiority
| u New England civilization over that OF
Hp.a Virrinia. And we have some sort Of
A. IMPRESSION that the honest yeOmanry OF
our State had sufficient intelligence and
nt,<.respeyt 10 administer a rehuke to the
| RebubEcaas at the polls that caused
|2he,n 20 regret that they had permitted
fke:r dude statesmen 70 make laughing
e.oek of themselves. History will repeat
| |itself this year. The Republicans are start
ing o,gt INTO the same sort Of q campaign,
xssnming tha, West Virginia has an igno-
r6i p,ucbasa6le population, and that
yc.trs can be bought by the gross When
tks reio7,,s cOrur in after the election they
milI have q higher appreciation Of the intel
1;nesee and tie standard of character that
we naiutas2 than they uow have.
1he paupks who live in the "wilds Of
lFest Sirs:pia average in intelligence with
th, peepls & Maine or Pennsylvania, and
| .e<sel them in the high standard Of individ-
t1l cha-achar and integrity. Oar isolation
IA bee. & protection to US from the vices
~ hoda-R z.achine politics, and there is
1srbaps no S;ste in the Union where the
|.oISime al5-.a,.s uf political honor aud 6del-
~ to przns.y,ie ar~ % well preserved as in
''kest EirsS,s-
As- an TnEvidual, With oar characteristic
.1sb;tali-v. we will welcome Mr. GRnw TO
.,sx boarSs OF hog aud hominy but as a
ntEsician We Will teach him a lesson that
all lend Ein home 5 wiser man, and bet
Itr oae for having been brought in contact
,ri.k a plain, honest old fashioned sort of
,b.<ble wip despise corruption who love
a. sirn,ise principles Of Democracy and
.xi,b have never been tainted by the dis
t|.,esi methods OF Pennsylvania politics. \
>,IthtEs sojournin our State, catching the
;,'t Inspiration Of purity, simplicity, frugal
iix ard love Of honesty which every
