Democrats that, all things considered,
tho advantages ut tho present time aro
clearly OH tho sido OF Republican pros.
poets, and that II no serious mistakes
arc made by tho Republican Congress
they will remain there until tho last gun
Is fired In tho campaign Of 1890. Tho
situation. therefore. not only warrants
tho conidonce existing among Republi.
cans, but tho corresponding dosponden-
cy with which tho Democracy views tho
outlook. To keep up tho courage Of tho
dUspondont onus, tho leaders aro work.

Tho Democratic organ in this city has
broken out in iresh place. Having, in
despair, given up all idea Of securing
harmonyin tho ranks OF its own do
moralizad and iisorganized party, it has
turned its attention to the task OF Great
lug discussions In tho Republican party.
and Affects TO believe that thoro Is going
to DO tactional warfare over something
or other, 1t isn't exactly s1rc what.
Tho organ doesn't seem to have proii,cd
by Its experience In tho past, when Re.
publicans. and not few Democrats,
Professionally declined to nay any a.ten-
ton to its efforts IN similar direction.

to find whore lts party stands OH any
public question, it might accomplish
some real good in the world. So far rs
tho Republicans OF West Virginia arc
CONCERNED, they arc not worrying great
deal over what tho Democratic organ
thinks about their family affairs. and
IL there are any who have been inclined
10 feel out oil humor with their brethren
on account OF matters in no wise in.
volving party principles, they only look
with amusement upon that papers at.

something serious.
There may BIO, hero and there, n rare
Republican who feels pleased over the
Democratic organs jubilatinC predic.
ton OF Republican factional fight, be.
cause the organs prediction is perhaps
coupled with reflections upon some
other Republican whom the rare indi-
vidual doesn't admire. That is human
nature, however, and doesn't signify
anything except that the rare indivil ual
doesn't understand that it is the organ

he Is. Your truc.hearted, broad-minded
party man doesn't go to tho columns OF
the misunderstanding opposition organ
10 seek for comfort. TO vent his spleen
or to air his grievances. In fact, he
doesn't feel that he has any personal
grievances TO air. lie is above such
childishness. There are great many
such Republicans in West Virginia and
there ARE very few OF the other kind.
That is why the aforesaid organs fresh
outbreak will be lacking in effect. In
the meantime the Republican party OF
West Virginia will, as in the past, pur.
sue its united. aggressive way against
tho common enemy and in behalf OF the
cause OF Republicanism. IVES. Nir.
ginia has lett the solid south for good,
and no Republican who has the welfare
OF tho party and its principles at heart
is going to do anything to set it back.
