READ THE JOURNAL, BROTHER

The Oracle, in commenting on
the severe chastisement and COW.
hiding which the editor of the
Wheeling Iatell,gencer has received
at the hands of his own party, con
cludes as follows.
Mr.. Hart may have been unwise
IN his work during the meeting of
the Legislature, but one thing is
plainly certain /: the Republican
party OF West Virginia never had,
Or never will have, an organ that is
truer to the principles it represents
than is the Intelligencer OF the city
OF wheeling. no matter what your
Democratic brethren would have
you believe.
Such declaration BY the oracle
has tendency both to improve the
fancy and enrich the mind. This
is the first time we have ever heard
1t vaguely limited that the "Demo.
cratic brethren" charged Bro. Hart
with the heiuous crime of not being
true to the principles of Republic.
canism.' On the other hand, we
have always looked upon Bro. Hart
as the exemplification and personi.
fication of Repu blican, principles,
from which, as the heretofore rec
ognized fountain head of the Re-
publican party of West Virginia,
the rest OF the Republican brethren
drew their inspiration and re- echoed
the slogan cry of Repnblicanism.
Aud in this connection it would be
well to make the prediction that
before many moons have come and
gone the Republican press of West
Virginia will be quoting the Intelh-
gencer with the same avidity and
filial affection as they have hereto
fore. With astonishing simplicity
the Republican brethren have sworn
to not accept the LatelligeRcer's Re.
publicanism, but with infatuation
still more marvellous they will en-
brace it as the genuine brand. SO
to the casual and observant West
Virginian it is a manifest futility
on the part of the Oracle to attempt
to make 1T appear that it is the
democratic trethrer' who are
pumblIng Bro. Hart for his inf
deity to his party.
We can readily understand the
Ordcle'S motive in trying to create
the impression among the faithful
that it is the democratic brethren"
who doubted Bro. Harris Republi-
cinism. The oracle Is always alive
to the invaluable maxim that in
covering up Republican rascality
nothing ought to be left to chance
for which foresight can provide.
Then again, our good brother IS
probably aggravated by the neces-
sity OF explaining to the faithful
the conduct of Bro. Hart in the
Republican school book fracas.
which 1T is utterly impossible to do.
No, Bro. Bolden, we believe Bro.
Hart to be true to the principles of
Republicanism, and one who has
never lost an opportunity to serve
the Trusts and Monopoly. which
his party has done for the past
thirty years.
If Bro. Bolden is anxious to en-.
Tighten the faithful on Bro. Harris
Republicanism, we trust he will in
sist on them reading the journal
and pondering over what Bro.
White "would have you believe"
about Bro. Hart and the American
Book Trust.
