West Virginia, which never losos m op-

Poor, weak. SIckly, meaningless declaration OF
nothlngne.,
The editor Of tho Cornerstone is hero
guilty OF very unproiossional conduct.
He ha, deliberately, need notsay mali.
ciously, CARRIED paragraph from the
Republican platform, Had he quoted
1t correctly here is VIII at he would have
printed:
As necessary to a complete policy o! ptotcc-
ton we favor heartily such restriction OF i'm.
migration us shall relieve our labor Of the unfair
competition OF the cheap labor OF other laDIs
and protect tho country from tho increasing
pressure OF dead weight OF ignorance too often
accompanied with helpless dependence and
vice. We favor such legislation as shall impose
for term o! years upon every Immigrant q
bead tax OF not less than 500, also for term OF
years prohibition OF all labor immigration.
We oppose the alien ownership OF large bodies Of
land.
lhavea right to expect the Cornerstone
TO correct the false impression It has
created among its readers go as to
undeceiye tho Prohibitionists as to the
real position OF the West Virginia Re-
publicans on the immigration question.
