up in the late election and the ia
nous Tiger was skinned alive. 1t
wasn't the Republicans that did it,,
either, but the fusion of several IN

Col. William l.. Strong, n Republi-

souri, Congressman, snid in Is speech
not long since, that If the raonopo-
lists and trusts Of this country
could pour enough money into the
Second West Virginia District to
defeat William l.. Wilson for re.
election to Congress, the outraged
people of this country would take
him up in their arms and bear him
to the Presidential Chair, and now
that the first part of this prophecy
has been fulfilled, it remains for
the people to complete it, and we
believe they will do it.

The American voter is great

a certain Republican leader and
all-around hustler Of this place was
not as much afraid of Democratic
votes a few years ago, when he was
running for Sheriff, as he seemed
to be at the late lamented election.
Times change and men change
with them, but principles never.
This same man who was elected to
the highest office in the county by
the Democrats, and has been fight
ing them with all his power ever
since, in order to make himself
solid with his own party in order to
get the office again two years hence,
WAS about the bitterest and most
dangerous partisan we had to con-
tend vita during the campaign that
