incompetent or Corrupt.

The new Republican city gov
eminent of Wheeling has suddenly
discovered shortage of $1,000
Exchange.
The above only goes to show
that Republicans are utterly unfit
to conduct the financial affairs of
city, town or county. When the
Republicans got control of Mason
county ten OF fifteen year ago,
there was a surplus of nearly
$4,000 in the county treasury and
this was soon used up in some
manner past finding out" and
after their first year of power, there
was deficit in the treasury, and
this deficit has continued from
year to year until now the county
is over hundred thousand dollars
in debt. Is it not about time the
taxpayers should stop voting for
incompetent members of the coun-
ty court?

r.. f. Morris, ESQ.

The Gazette does this gentle
man a great injustice in its issue
of Friday. in charging him with
going to Democrats with ''his
grievances.
We want to say that Mr.. Morris
meyer voluntarily said word 10 us
about the matter referred to in the
Register few days ago, and now
replied to in the Gazette, of Friday.
We heard on the streets, that the
man who now attempts to deny the
charges there made, had told Mr..
Morris, if he got the nomination
for Commissioner, he must expect
to, and would have to, do good
deal of boodling and also furnish
many jugs of whisky to be elected y
The editor of this paper hunted up
Mr.. Morris and asked him if it
was true, (what is here above
stated, and he replied that it was,
and from that we made the ex-
posure. 1t was an effort on the
part of the editor Boss" to bluff
Mr.. Morris out of the race that his
Ring candidate. Mr.. Thorn might
go through without opposition.
He knew he could not use Mr..
Morris, and thus bluffed him to
get him out of the race for Com
missioner.
Mr.. Morris is an honest man,
good citizen and thorough and
practical business man, and the
"Ring" did not want him. To
still further bluff him, the Gazette
basely attacks him in,its issue of
Friday.
If the Republicans Conyen-
vention today, has the least bit
of honor or manhood left in it. it
will spurn the Ring and nominate
Mr.. Morris for County Commits
sioner.
The Ring would prefer to see Mr..
Morris drummed out of the Re
publican party, than to have him
nominated and elected member
of the County Court, because then
the Rings chances for jobbery
and plumber. would be gone.

"a. Blagg for Superintendent Of

Commissioners, has no more show
than the King of Siam has of be-
coming President of the Omitted
States.
For Superintendent of Schools
it is the field against Blagg. but
the field has none of the Rings
fertilizer in it; hence-yes hence
we are sorry for the field.
Warren Miller will not be in it.
The Ring is against him. Judge
Freer will get the larger part. if
not all the Congressional delegates;
and j. M HensIey, although a
Mason county man, is TO be
slaughtered without even being
allowed to offer up prayer before
execution.
How else could it be when de-
Iinquent Taxpayers compose a
large part of the Convention.
These kind of delegates owe the
Ring for the immunity they have,
and no one doubts their gratitude,
and no one, though he be fool, is
ignorant of the Rings policy. 1t
has piled upon the taxpayers of
the county debt of 100000. 1t
has the County Court by the

For the Departure OF REMAINING neg
iments From Chicknmauga.
Chickamauga, Ga, July 25.-No or
ders fixing the time for the departure
of the remaining regiments of the
First corps have been issued at Camp
Thomas. and these regiments. al
though expecting such orders every
hour are maintaining their regular
routine.
Things are progressing as usual all
over the big camp. Major General ].
f. Wade. the new commander. has
made no change in tue methods pur-
sued by General Brooke, and states
that he will not do so. The indica-
lions are that the entire First corps
will not get away for some time.
Many of the officers in the Second
division, First corps, do not expect to
leave Camp Thomas for Porto Rico
within a week or 10 days.
The officers are of the opinion that
the division can not move before this
time for several reasons. In the first
place the Second brigade of the First
division is still at Camp Thomas, and
possibly will not leave before Wed
nesday.
1t will take the brigade until the
and this will cause delay until almost
the end of the week.
With one or two exceptions all the
First corps regiments are entirely
equipped. In those cases where any
thing is lacking 1t is only of a minor
nature and will not hinder the regi-
ment going forward on its expedition
to Porto Rico.
AS each brigade consists of about
1000 men, and as there are seven bril-
gades to go out, this will cause re-
moval from Chickamauga of $4,000 adj
dition to those already gone. 1t will
require $50 cars of all kinds for each
brigade or 1850 for the seven brigades.

A Contrast.

Down in Mason county, Re
publican county court allowed a
Republican newspaper $4,000 for
publishing the county financial
statement when Democratic pa
per published in the same town
had offered to publish the state
ment for 500. Here in Green
brier the Independent has never
charged nor received moro than
$3.50 for the publication of this
statement and some years less. In
Kanawha county a year or more
ago, a Republican county court al
lowed a Republican newspaper
1,2Oo, as we are informed (and we
believe correctly, for the publ
cation of the list of delinquent
tax payers. Here in Greenbrier,
the Independent, publishing this
list in a more condensed form
has generally charged and received
from $4,000 to $500 depending
on the length of the list Green
