THE OLD STORY,


lie came to the sanctum ono night,
The place whore the editors wright,
He was hungry, he said,
And he wanted some bread
Would be glad 10 get even blight.
He had served In a cavalry corps
In the war for the Union, he sworps
Rode a charger milk white.
Was the first In each fite,
And slaughtered his foes by the sCorps.
But to his appeals for a pension
The Government paid no attsnsiOn,
lie was Old and rheumatic
And half psTalytic,
And his woes were too numerous to meusiOn
His case was hard one. no doubt,

And raised him a sum
That for some time TO cum
Would keep him, and then he went oubt
When he In the court was arraigned
Next morning, the cause was explaigued:
He had wasted the sum
That We gave him in rum
He has since at the island remaigned

The Republican Convention at
Keyser nominated Hon. w. III. III.
Flick for Congress by reclamation,
amid much enthusiasm" This
was, to our personal knowledge,
done against the desire of that gen.
tleman, and yet it was but the prop
er recognition of the great worth OF
the man and just regard for the
wishes of the people without regard
to party distinctions. There are
many gentlemen in the district who
are worthy of the distinguished honor
and who are ecognized as
among the best men in the State
yet to neither of these has public
opinion been so strongly directed as
to Gen. Flick, and we say it with the
highest respect for the other gentle
men hitherto discussed in this con.
nection. If has long been believed
that with his consent gained the
convention would tender him the
nomination without opposition. A
series of financial misfortunes, for
which he was not responsible and
oyer which he had no control, die
tated his declination of the honor.
Cautiously, yet frankly and forci-
bly,, he has repeatedly requested his
friends to permit him to give atten.
ton to bis private affairs, now sadly
needing bis attention. But so ur-
gent aud persistent has been the
demand from every quarter-from
members of all parties--that he
finally concluded to accept. And
this means an active canvass, con.
Quoted with superior ability aud
dignity, and success in the end. The
friends of Protection the friends OF
good government the opponents OF
Bourbonlsm and the opponents OF
the party of Free Trade-aIl can
rally about General Flick with the
full assurance that they have a lead
er worthy of their confidence and
support-one who, il elected, will
never cast vote which will in any
degree endorse Free Trade. The
intelligence Of the people is strongly
appealed to in his nomination, and
we believe that the appeal will not
be in vain.- West Vi,ginian.
