The caption is the very expressive
phrase which Col BIRDIE HART uses tc
designate the OHIO county representatives

well known tina. che Ohio county delega-
ion strongly opposed TIE selection Of 8
man to the responsible position Of Presi-
dent Of the State immigration Society who
had few business interests in West Nlr-
ginia, and wss not q West Virginian in
any sense Of the woids. An even stronger
objection wac urged by macy gentlemen,
that no man should be chosen whose POSI-
ton OF character would not in
spirs Che highest public conf
dence aud respect. The delegation
representing the great business interests Of
Ohio county briefly presented these points
to- the convention. They were disrsglrded
then, but st this late day, when their force
has been emphasized by the failure Of the
State Immigration Society to accomplish
satisfactory results, Col Birdie HART is

1t is mt expected that Col. BIRDIE
HART should feel liadly toward the busi-

ter of much Importance whether he does OF
not. His remark about the marplots was
"the most uuknd,st cat of oil, " but they

same.
Tt will take many columns OF Col.
BIRDIE HARr's most expert abuse to con-
vince the people OF the State that he was
the only man in Ohio county who took a
sincere interest in the State immigration
movement. Il will take many more col
umns to conceal the fact that the President
Of the State immigration Society has bean
more of a drawback than an aid to the
cause.
Col. BIRDIE HART win have to loot his
horn some other way.
