The Martinsburg Heralds chief COM
plant against Hon. VIM L. Wilson is that
he has recommended some good Democrats
for postmasterships and the like, aud by
virtue of their appointments some good Re
publicans have been turned ont in the cold
i'm this very Indictment season. How did
the Republicans get in? Who held the
places before the Republicans? Anybody
turned out to give Republicans places? 1t
is abou, time for the Repubhcans-and es-
peciallv the editor of the Herald who had
a Republican turned out to secure the place
for himself and then resigned to avoid be-
ing kicked cut. TO stop playing the baby
act Quit your bubbering. You know
very we'll the Republicans are only getting
their deserts by these leaves TO enter upon
other ayoeations, and it is but reasonable
service Hon. VIM l.. Wilson is performing
for his party to see to it that good Demo-
Gratis find comfortable places so long mo-
nopolized by the opponents of his party.
To is the fate of war Manfully abide the
results There isn't a good southern soldier
who is not ready to uphold the Union,
instead of whimperiug and crying over split
milk And vet losing an insignificant
postmaster,hip isn't half the trial, theagony
tha. old soldiers endured when they surren-
j.red tventy-0ne years ago.
II YOU would commend Hon. VIM. L.
Wilson for denomination Just keep it before
the people OF his district that he is doing
his level best to put competent Democrats
I'm the places occupied by Republicans.
Democrats fought for change of admins
