Democrat, Although do not approve of
the way he has beea managing matters, l
am not opposed TO his reelection. l have
no inmity towards him politically or per-
sonally, | an bis friend, but l have more
desire to see Democratic Legislature
elected in 1886 thAn have to see him
make eight for reelection. All want
to do is 10 make sure OF q Democratic | e
islature, then If Mr. Camden can get them
TO elect him, all right, so far as ! am con-
cerned. am afraid, however, If his cleo
ton to the Senate, or that OF any other gen.
tleman, is made an issue in the election OF
members of the next legislature, we are IN
very great danger want to avoid this, II
possible. Why do | say thisf Simply De-
cause these factions that have unfortun-
ately grewr up in the party have become
so bitter against each other that De-
lievs they will not hesitate 70
slaughter each other at the polls. If this
is so, is it not good policy to Try and avoid
such calamity to the party? If 1t IS not
so, where IL the great ham IN sounding
the alarm and putting the Democracy on
its guard? IL it wrong or criminal Tor 2
Democrat to express an opinion any more
Is it wrong or criminal in one to express
the opinion and give the advice sboVer II
it is, there is no use in any further trial
abozt it; plead guilty. But want to
soy Just here that matters have come to
PRETTY HIGH PASS
il life long member of the Democratic
party can't express an opinion as to party
policy without being denounced as l have
been By "A" If there is no longer tree
dom OF opinion and speech in the Demo
cratic party Of West Virginia, l tor one
want to know it. 1 take it to be an un-
questioned fact that all good and true Dem
ocrats desire the election Of Democratic
Legislature in 1886. am very well aware
that there are many good and true Demo
Gratis who desire the nomination OF Mr..
Camden to the Senate. But ifmaking bis
re election to the Senate an issue in the
election of members Of the next
Legislature tends to endanger the
election of Democratic Leg.
islature, surely he and his friends would
not force such an issue into the contest.
This will not Indicate good Democrats,
1t will simply show that if he can't be re-
elected they prefer q Republican. know
Mr.. Camden is not such Democrat. He
may have some such friends; l think be
has, and "a" of Weston, is one OF them.
The best thing he can do with such friends
is to keep them quiet-put them where
they of ri ht belong, in the lunstic asylum.
JIM NAsoN's HAND.
| want to inform "A that have
seen bat two copies of Jim Masou's paper
in my life. | do not approve OF his abuse
of Mr.. Camden. Neither he nor his paper
has any influence in this section. He
writes too much like "a" to have any in
Auence in this quarter. 1t is all bosh to
try to turn public thought off the question
have suggested by crying Jim Mason
aud the Virginia debt. 1t ID
TOO THIN.
There is no more danger ofWest Virginia
ever paying dollar Of that debt, than
there is OF "A" writing sensible article
for a newspaper. There is not q man IN
the State who could be elected in any
county in the State if he would vote to
pay a dollar Of it out of the people money.
ANY man Of common sense and the most
ordinary observation knows this, and there
ia no use talking about the matter. We do
not Justly owe any Of 1t and we do not IN
tend to pay any Of it, and that is all there
is of it.
We usually give in these South Branch
counties from 1000 to $500 Democratic
majority. We think we have as intelligent
ana as good and true Democrats as can
be found anywhere else in the State. Is
there sny wonder that we are "irrepressible
grumblsrs" when we see the Republican
sections and men who can't carry their
own counties getting sll the Democratic
SOP" as "a" so elegantly expresses IT.
Some sections and some people want all
the SOP" They are not content to divide
With us We have submitted to this for q
long while, aud we will continue to do so
rather than risk the election Of o Demo
cratic Legislature in 1886 in attempting
to right the wrong. But the time will
come when those who have been getting all
the sop" will have to call halt. Good
hive "A HARDY.
