hibitionistS. however loud they may howl
about their principles, will sneak up TO

straight rs it can be printed. knowing

to allow himself to be caught holding the
bar. Huntington Adrertiscr.
Daniel H. Gates has been nominated by
the Republicans Of Putnam for the House
of Delegates.
The Republicans and ProhibitlOniSts OF
Richie county are engaged in hitter
warfare, and the Richie Gazette is trying
10 calm the troubled waters by an appll-
cation of Republican soothing oil; but 1t
is nOstrum. The ProhibitionlStS know
that the Republican party, this country
over, are willing to make all the prohibit
tory laws that q statute book could con-
tain. and afterwards see that not one Is
enforced. This kind of prohibition does
not suit ProhibitiOniStS.- Charleston Star.

The people will hardly he willing to con-
denim a man who has shown tact, industry
and sagacity enough to carve his own for
tune out Of the rugged mountain sides,
and i'm so doing furnished employment to
/ thousands and take up one who, although
having the means in his hands, has done
none of these things. A more disgusting
example of nan worship has never
been presented than that which the Re-
publican party has given by laviShng their
/ fayors upon General GOff, for no other
reason, that we can see, than that he is
rich drtiRSburg Statesman.
| The Republicans OF West Virginia are
{ resorting to their old tactics with which
we are all so familiar, and trying "Fus-
ion" they attempt to ere
| ate the impression that great acceSSiOns to
| their strength are being received, and that
/ through the assistance of the GrecnbacE
vote they can elect their candidates
| Wherever they can scrape together few
men who are willing to act under the guise
of GreenbackerS, they sound their tom
toms, beat their drums; and with great
solemnity 90 through with the grand
farce OF fuSing. The trick has
PLAYED out, however, and frightenS no,
body. The same combination has been
sprung upon the Democratic party in each
election for the past six Years, accompanied
by the bOastful announcement that il
would sweep the State. Instead, the Dem
Ocratic majOritieS have been of the most
pronounced character. Fusion means nj
more now than it meant then, and it never
nj any time amounted to much. The rem
nant of the GreeTback party has dwindled
to mere handful held together for tn,
purpose alone of creating capital for the
Republicans. We defeated these combina
tions before with ease, and We can do ;,
again.-M0RrOc HHichmGR.
The Republicans think when a member
Of Congress has been there ana there dgdln
he should be continued indefinitely, be
cause of his experience. There cannot be
anything in this unless the experience ex
lists. General Golf has been there and 40

him being there when. some question.

contractor, who built lrdifS for the ocean
at the expense of the Government, and be

then. Yes, you know, General, you was
his defender in his troubles when expos
