A Correspondent After SnyueFs sealP'
Republican Chances,
To the Editor 0fths htelbeReer.
SIR;-Just now the Boulbons Of this
and adjoining counties in the Third Con
gr~essional District are making a big fuss
over the record or want Of record Of their
present representative, Phil Snyder They
charge that out Of one hundred and
twenty roll calls Phil only answered to
City, that he was OFF in the counties OF
P~ocahoutas, Greenbrier, Summers, Fay
cite, Kapswha, Boone and Logan, looking
up a delegation TO give him another noml'
nation. They do not give him credit Tor
turning out the rsscally Republican post
masters aud filling their places with hum
gry and thirsty Democrats; in Tact, they
now charge him with working oil the time
in the interest OF Snyder, and appointing
his henChmen to Ill all the pOstottcea'
They are not pleased that he was absent
and not taking part in the great
reforms that have been accomplished
by Grover and his Pan'eleCtriC
Administration, but they actually
abuse him for voting for free trade ~
butter, Well, these Bourbons are hard to
please anyhow, but while these dis
pruntled Democrats that want Mr.,
Snyder's place for the Mr., Harris lot the
COW county Of G%reenbrier) are making
big noise and sending out circulars de-
nouncing Snyder, he and his irlsnda are
quietly ut work securing delegates L
nominate Snyder again on the 3lst
SNYDER did ! suppose vote against taxing
oleomargarine or fraud butter, hut ht
voted with Wilson and Gibson and the
Democracy generally, He voted also tol
the consideration Of the Morrison Bill
My notion Is he had better have been IL
Mcdowell looking up delegates to tht
Coal Valley convention. and then hi
would not have to answer for the slns O.
commission, We had better not bs rep
resented than to be misrepresented, ant
should Mr., Snyder again be- elected
would II not bs better for him to draw
his salary ol$5,O00 and mileage and stay
ut home and spend the money among hi
constituency,
We would then have the pleasure o
knowing we were not being mIsrepro
scented. He might make q trip or two
looking after the seed business, lie ha'
certainly been very kind in sendinl
out seed to his constituency, for which hi
should have credit, for how can We grow
vegetables without seed? The people OF al
parties are beginning to wake up in THU
section, Times are 80 awful hard, money
80 very gCaVCe and hard to get that peopIE
are beginning TO enquire for the cause
Andnot a few arc charging 1t to the a9ita
ton OF the tariff and efforts Of the BOur
bon free traders. We need u Republican
convention with harmony, and all who
arc opposed to Bourbon misruIe invited
to assist in selecting a good man, q friend
to the working people, a firm believer In
protection TO American industry. With
such an arrangement and q strong pull
and a pull altogether wo would not be uu'
der the painful necessity Of %apol0gizing
for the shortcomings Of Phil or free trade
Harris. We would be represented and
not misrepresented. We nave, plenty Of
the very best material out OF which to pick
and with harmony and good feeling all
round we (although seemingly largely In
the minority would Tout the enemy and
elect our man. The prejudiCes Of the war
in many people have about worn out, and
people are beginning to come TO their
senses, and will not vote their prtjudices
as strong as they have. Should Mr.. Har.
rls succeed In getting the nomination and
be elected, then We would have to depend
on others Tor protection on coal, iron, salt,
lumber, as Harris Is a Democrat OF the
stereotyped edition and q free trader from
principle aud q mau of ability, 90 ho would
be calculated to do much harm. DoEG.
