MORE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


The Register has awaited with some
patience to see in the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer some retraction or correction
Of its statement to it's readers that Hon.
Perry Belmont, OF New York, had de-
clined Democratic congressional
nomination because he was not in
sympathy with Mr.. Bryan. Thus far
the correction has not been forthcom-
ing, and it is a fair presumption that
the local Republican organ intends to
leave its readers under a misapprehen-
sion as to the fact. 1t may be stated,
therefore, that Mr.. Belmont is heartily
in sympathy with Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic cause generally, approves
of its policies and the issues it has
made and for which it is fighting, and
in proof thereof we cite any and all
doubtful persons to the letter ad
dressed by Mr.. Belmont to Hon. John
T. McGraw, and published in these col
umns.
Mr.. Belmont is in line with the peo-
pie, and will give Mr.. Bryan end the
Democratic cause generally his hearty
support, for he has said so over his own
signature. Anything to the contrary
Is triffing with facts for the purpose
of misleading those not we'll informed
