The Kanawha Gassl.e: The fact.
ional war now going on in the
Democratic party Is exciting the
deepest anxiety 10 the breasts Of
all loyal Democrats, The fear 10
felt and expressedthat it will be
carried TO the polls by the enraged
factions We are not disposed to
take 50 melancholy a view Of the
matter Our own impression is
that the number Of Democrats who
would be willing to commit politi.
calsuicids By that course is exceed.
ingly small.
Nor is it TO befCrgolten that the
Republican party is also divided
into factions and just as likely to
suffer at the polls from this cause
as the Democrats.
The thing for Democrats to do is
to stand up manfully in the Con-
yention for lhatwhich they believe
10 be wisest and best to rally in
Convention everybody who believes
as they do, make The best figh. Of
which they are capable and IL de
feated quietly to submit. In the
end the right will prevail.
The sweetest consolation in The
darkest hourof defeat Is the con.
seriousness that you did not sit idly
by and let your enemies and the
enemies to truth and justice work
their will without let or hindrance,
but that you gave them, in the ex.
erciso of your manhood, the best
ticks in the shop and told them and
the people truths that cannot be
told too plainly nor too often.
