LEADER" wOTRING.

Our good friend, DR.. r. b. l..
Trippett, is not asking, "Who
struck Billy Patterson ?" but he is
wondering whether it is lawful for
Bro. Wotring, of the Journal, to
use a regular old sllng-shot IN as
saulting his "enemy."
Some one wrote an article to the
Wheeling Register before the Pri-
mary Election, giving an accurate
and truthful pen picture of the Re-
publican squabble for office in the
Banner county, which only proved
false in prophesy. Thereupon Bro.
Wotring assails DR.. Trippett as the
author, which only reflects credit
upon the DR.. if he Is, and threa-
tens to remove him as "member
of the Pension Examining Board"
and thereby cut off the Doctors
Lucrative position" which he holds
by the grace and magnanimity of
Leader" David Mr. Wotring !
Ahem
The ARGUS hopes "Leader" Wot-
ring, who has been so outrageously
"villified" by the Register cores
pendent, will have the courage of
his partisanship to remove DIR.
Trippett. II "Leader" Wotring
expects to silence DR.. Trlppett from
exercising his rights as a free born
American citizen, by threats of hay
ing him removed as member of
the Pension Examining Board, he
is not acquainted with DIR. r. b. L.
Trppett.
Other Democrats were removed
from office in Preston county, and
the ARGUS never set up the dis
tressing and pitiful belly. ache cry
on account of their removal like the
Journal did when Republicans were
asked to step down and out under
the Cleveland Administration, and
"Leader" Wotring will repeat after
the 4th of March, 1898.
The ARGUS asks that there be no
mercy shown DR.. Trippett, and if
"Leader" Wotring does not remove
the Doctor, we can only infer that
ne Is an impostor and braggart,
instead Of a leaoier, which he repre-
sents himself to DO, who is tolerated
by the Republican party as a neces.
sary evil.
