Judged by that standard a glance at

The Republicans cannot contain
themselves at the very idea of the
United States beginning free coin
age by itself. They denounce the
scheme as dishonest, reputation,
anarchy and downright villiany.
Yet their own platform expressly
declares that they do not want the
gold standard longer than they can
help but are in favor of international
bimetallism if other nations will con-
sent. What a spectacle for Gods
and men do they present. They are
in favor Of stealing, cheating and
repudiating honest debts, according
to their own confession if we can on.
ly add the crime of conspiracy to
the sum of the other proposed vii
lianies. If they are honest, why do they
not set themselves firmly for colo
standard? Why is it, that they have
only abuse for a man who wants tt
single handed do the deed and praise
for man who wants his neighbors
aid in perpetrating a villainy? There
is only one consistent gold standard
party in the country and that is the
boltocrats.

w. v. Kittle Bolts Mr.. Dayton and
Gives His Reason.

"To the Republicans of Barbour
County:
ut now becomes my duty, as sec.
rotary, of your executive or central
committee, to tender to you my res
ignation as such secretary. Owing
to the fact that the Republican par
ty has placed upon its ticket a man
for Congress by the name of A. G.
Dayton, whom / believe to be wholly
unworthy of the support of the
good people of this district and who
by his record in Congress has shown
his inability to represent the people
of the Second district of West Vir-
ginia, it is impossible for me to sup
port that part of the Republican
ticket. / therefore deem it my duty,
as good citizen, to withdraw from
the executive committee, and / here
by tender to the Republican chair
man my resignation.
my objections to Mr.. Dayton are
of a public nature and of the most
serious kind. He has not kept faith
with his constituency. His promises
to miners and lumbermen were dis
regarded, and his pension bill was an
insult to the old soldiers of the coun-
try.
Respectfully,
