The Shepherdstown REGISTER calls the
free silver people the ''ritfrah. Better
read the names of several distinguished
sons of old jefferson county who have
declared through the Gazette that this
is their way of thinking, and then cease
applying such terms.-ChGrleSf0n ga
zetts.
WHAT the REGISTER said was this !:
There can be no question but that in
the tidal wave of free silver sentiment
there is large body of our most patri-
otto and intelligent people. But as in
the case of most tidal waves, the ritfratf
is pretty much all on top.
The people of Jefferson county are
both intelligent and patriotic, and the
free silver advocates have their full
share of these admirable qualities,
They are not the rif,raf, nor did we
mean to convey any such impression.
We referred to the political adventur-
ers who are close to the home of and
well-known by the Gasette-the fell
lows who are shouting loudly for free
silver because they think there is some
thing nit; who are ridingon the crest
of the free silver wave because they
have an idea it will land them. in the
Senate or the House of Representa-
tives who care no more for the merits
of the question than they care for the
revolt in Formosa. If these are not
"rifraff," what is? And may they be
landed high and dry when the tidal
wave recedes.

In view of the result of the con-
vention in Kentucky this week, the
advocates of free silver should be ex-
tremely thankful that their proposed
convention at Charleston was side
tracked.
