|short item giving our reasons fol-
THE people supporting Gregory
against Hill for the State Senate
TN that article we challenged Mr..
Hill or any of his friends to
deny what we stated if we were
not telling the facts about him
He did not deny anything, his
friends deny nothing, but proceed
to answer us by calling us names
The first paper is the Star, OF
Middlebourne. The Star says,
Everybody knows the Review
is maliciously lying, but that is
nothing new for that sheet"
That is the Stars answer. This
is a Republican paper that an
nounced it would be absolutely
neutral" in the campaign. In
stead Of that it is openly working
for Hill, for Parks, for Conoway.
There is only one way to answer
this blackguard, and that would
be to 60 into personalities. We
have no time to waste on the
skunk this time of the year, but
will give him some attention Ia
ter on. The point we make now
is that even such a well-kEown,
versatile and notorious liar as the
Star is, cannot get enough brass
to deny the charges we make.
There is nothing to do, therefore,
but to believe our charges are
true. Hill is incompetent; he is
prejudiced against our city and
the river districts; never did a
single thing for us as County Su-
perintendent of Free Schools. nor
as a member of the Legislature.
He has always and at all times
opposed us, will do so again; if he
was otherwise the Star would OPP
emily damn him. There is no
question about how Hill stands.
We challenge the Star to publish
his record in the Legislature, and
outside of offering a few bills by
request of the paid henchmen of
corporations, he did nothing but
draw his salary. If this is not
true, deny it and show where it
is false.
The second Hill defender is the
Tyler Journal, of Middlebourne.
1t deplores the efforts of the Re
view in working up sectional
feeling between the different sec
lions of the county" Well, if this
is a "deplorable" thing, the
Journal had better begin right at
home to working up a reform. For
instance, we understand three
men are for Shriver in Middle
bourne, and they are practically
to be ostracized from politics and
society for daring to vote for a
candidate who lives in Sisters
vile. Underwood was partially
defeated two years ago because
he had appropriated few dollars
to help pave Garry Owen. a coun-
ty road that is Travelled by more
people every day than over any
other road in the county in a
month. The Middlebourne gang
kept us from getting a city char
ter for years. "Sectionalism" is
a bad thing, but the journal had
better begin at home on a reform
movement. The vote will show
the 25th just how much the Mid
dlebourneites think of our people.
There won't be a dozen votes cast
for any candidate in Sistersville,
although since the history of Sis
tersville and Tyler county we
have never had Sheriff or any
thing else in the way of county
officers elected from this city.
Another reason the Journal
gives is "that it is none of our
Democratic business to say any
thing about Hill" That's fun
ny one, sure. Suppose all we are
expected to do is to sit still and
let incompetent men be elected
to county Offices that will do all in
their power to injure our own ma
