The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1886-05-03

THIS is not the first instance that the
municipal government has como 10 tht
relief Of the people against the tyranny Of
this pair Of alleged friends OF the working,
men, Kimberly and Smyth. You reCol.
leCt some years ago when tho epizootiC
was prevalent, these name men raised the
price Of coal from eight cents TO twenty
live cents a bushel. The city government
appointed an agent and had coal brought
here on railroads and sold at actual cost,
about eight cents a bushel. The same
pair then threatened to bring action
against the city for damages In interfering
with their bualneN. The suit was not
brought. Perhaps II the Natural Gas
Company had not made good all loss sus-
tanned In the importation Of the Italians
by Kimberly another suit against the city
would have been talked Of.
There is no indignation here tonight.
Perhaps the only Indignation In this com.
munitY Is lurking In the hearts OF Kim
berly, Smyth and tho Italians, the latter
now or their way to a warm reception at
the hands Of some other outraged COM
munity. ~
At the fall primaries lot all parties elect
delegates pledged to support Kimberly for
the Sheridalty. Put him on all the tickets.
Then we will have a further opportunity
Of showing our contempt for him, BY
demonstrating that he cannot be elected

smell 10 heaven Of garlic and the canvas.

ALL VOTE AYE.
In conclusion, allow inc 10 set at rest
any fears that may be entertained for the
peace and quiet Of the city. There are
none who would come 10 the front 10 put
