TO THE PUBLIC.

Some time after my announce
ment was published, report was
circulated that cit was all in the
family" Kingwood Ring" in
the interest of Mr.. Martin, to pre-
vent other candidates from announ-
cling" ate. etc.
All this started from the mere
superstition of my relationship to
MIR. Martin, and certain persons in
terested IN my defeat, aided in it's
circulation, then, becoming little
bolder, stated that it was true, and
Jtnalty that they have positive truth
that ii is true.
Now | wish to say to the public,
that the whole story from the be-
ginning to the end is lie, and en-
tirely without foundation in fact.
AS an excuse for the assertion,
that sit is all in the family" it is
stated that my wife Is niece Of
Mr.. Martin. This is not true, My
wife is a daughter of Mr.. Jackson $
first wife, lady from Pennsylvan-
ia, who was in no way related to Mr..
Martin.
beg the public's indulgence for
this bit of family history, but since
it must be published l wish it to be
done truthfmly.
My announcement as n candidate
was, and is still made IN all SINGER
ity, without thought of intrigue
with Gjay one, and because | want
to be clerk of the County Court.
Very respectfully,
Julius X. Monroe.

THE NEW ERA CAtGHT.

IL IS nom thought that George Har-
man Of GrGnt county, as to be set up
for the congressional nomination at
Piedmont. Mr.. Harman as tie man

gilto Legislature IN 1872, and BIZ
'chose rOfe the joint resolution calling
The constitutional convention was
aiopted. lie 'cas a Republican, but
Uoted tcith the Democrats, thus being
responsible for the Bourbon constitu
tion achich has proved such a curse to
his State. THE REP UBLICA Ms
or THE SECOND DISTRICT
CANNOT AFFORD TO NOMI-
NATE GEORGE HAR.MAN.-
New Era Of Aug. %.
The New Era is in close place
in regard to an ill-timed and unwisc
remark made before the Piedmont
Convention, as will be seen by the
above extract from its editorial col
umns OF August %, jusC before the
Convention that nominated Rev.
Geo. Hartman. The Era will try to
twist out of this and let on that it
was intended to capture Democrat
votes, but this is too thin to stir with
a spoon and will you kindly notice
that the Era won't say much this
week about the candidacy of Rev.
Geo. Hartman. We will choke them
off on that.

The Journal and Era took time
and the election by the forelock and
trotted out their roosters last week.
1t is well enough for them to do
their growing now before the cleo
ton, for afterwards their chickens
will be too sick for much of crow,
and if they have any crow at all, it
will be of the black kind and with n
different sound. 1t is also well
cnough for our Republican cotem-
poraries to boom their cannon now.
MS after the election they probably
won't go off at all, or if they do, it
Will be a back-action. We are re-
serving our roosters and cannons
till about the first week in Noyem-

A potato went out on mash,
And sought an onion bed;
That's pie for me-" observed the SQUASH.
And all the beets turned red;
go away" the onion weeping cried.
Your love cannot boz
The pumpkin is your lawful bride.
You cantaloupe with me-"
But onward still the tuber came,
And laid down at her feet;
you caullflower by any name
And II will smell as wheat;
And !, too, as an carly rose,
And you I've come to SEQ,
So don't turnip your lovely nose,
But spinach IL with me-"
"Ah, spare mo a cress." the tuber prayed
MY cherry-ished bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me-"
And as tho willy tuber spoke
He grasped the bashful prize,
And giving her an artichoke,
Devourcd her with his eyes.

The Democrats of townsville and
vicinity are earnest and enthusiastic
in the interest Of tariff reform aud
tie success Of Democracy. They
met last Saturday night in the
schoolhouse there and organized a
Club, In spite of the bad weather.
Considering that it was cold, dark,
rainy night, the attendance was good
and the Club started out with about
twenty members. Michael Lynch
was elected President, Francis Borg
man, Secretary, Chris Bergman,
Treasurer, and Vincent Cooke, Jani-
tor. There will be no meeting Sat-
urday night of this week on account
of the convention at Terra Alta. but
arrangements arc being made for a
big time Saturday night, the 18th.
The Club is "The William l.. Will
son Club No. Two" as Terra Alta
has No. One. This shows the popu-
larity of our past, present and next

the lads are whooping up Rev.

You rIB.Y


Every time the ARGUS pins the
journal down to political discus
sion where it is unable TO extract
itself from its humility, it invara-
bly, replies, "You fib 20 This is the.
sum and substance OF its argument.
When the ARGUS cited the fact,
which is admitted by all fair minded
men of all parties. that Mr.. George
Harman was John w. Mason's can
didate, the Journal. as usual, an
swers by saying the ARGUS chad
considerable outside help" and that
it "fibs." Then il quotes the Fair
mont ViIyinjaa to prove that ten
office holders could not boss one
hundred and ninety non Office hol-
dcrs, and asserts that of the ten
Federal oflice-holders only four vo-
ted for Mr.. Hartman.
Now we propose to recite a few
few facts concerning the Piedmont
Convention which is fresh in the
minds of those who were present
and would respectfully ask the Jour-
nal to point out to us our inaccura-
cles and we will cheerfully correct
them. Did not every one of the
Internal Revenue mon vote for Geo.
Hartman? Did not Butts cast the
vote of Jefferson, Pawnall the vote
of Hampshire, Davis the vote of
Hardy, Bower the vote of Berkeley,
"a .ier the vote of Randolph, Shinn
the vote of Marion, Sturgiss the
vote of Monongalia, and even Poe
and Love of the Taylor county dele
CATION refused to let Taylor vote
solid for her next door neighbor,
Dayton, but according to the behest
from the Boss at Washington cast
their votes for George Hartman |?
Was not this the vote when the
fight was between Hartman and
Dayton? No equivocation, dear
Journal, answer up.
They tell us figures won't lie, and
when you come to sum up the votes
held by the Ten Federal office-hol
ders and cast for Geo. Hartman it
must be confessed that they did
nominate the gentleman from Grant
county in spite of the 100 non
office-holders. Why take the coun-
ties of Jefferson, Hardy, 1Iamp-
shire, Randolph, Marion and Mo-
mongolia, which were voted by the
Federal office-holders and you can
readily see how the ten out-yoted
the 1870. Of couse MIR. Elkins and
MIR. Mason had their friends in al
the delegations, including our own
Preston.
Now as to Bro. Dav son not know
ing who John w. Mason was for is
too absurd to mention. In the first
place it was an open secret that Jno.
w. Mason wanted Stephen B. Ell
kins nominated. None will deny
that. In the second place it was de-
cided at Piedmont that if the Day
ton men refused to allow S. b. Ell
klns to be nominated by acclama-
ton the Elkins men would throw
their votes to Geo. Hartman and
nominate him. They did so, and
MIR. Mason is the man who engi-
neered t. Whole thing. The editor
OF the Journal is no gosling in poll
tics, and it is worse than folly for
him to say that he was ignorant Of
what was going on in thel Internal
Revenue circles.
