y View of doctor" Carter.

Editor the News:-May have space
to give expression to the general
view OF the visitation we had last
Sunday night from those two lights
OF the church called by the Bluciield
Telegraph Doctor Carter and "Rcv."
>. N. Harman. One was Progress
I'VE Republican and the other a Repub-
hcan Progressive, but which was who
or whether either was which. The
Lord whom they profess to serve in
their several and somewhat opauue
capacities, only knows. Though about
as much alike as Uncle Sam and John
Bull, lat least for present purposes) n

Two souls with but single though.
Two hearts that beat as one.

free lance in politics., devotce in

nappy years amongst raising up a
charming family and incidentally try
ing TO mould the republican party into
such shape as wouldsuflice him as a
code OF morals and philosophy to live
(in) and die (by.)
we know much less of the John
Bull of this aggregation and would
like to know more. We can make n
shrewd guess however. Quite a num-
Der of his kind have been shipped into
TINS district in the last three or four
generations and have made about the
same impression on our people as a
coyote IN circus cage or Il Whit from
the local packing house.
HIS claim to belief as Il minister of
the gospel of Christ to Il wicked
and perverse generation will be taken
with grains of allowance, since he
said, with sanity hands uplifted)
that Wilson and Democratic Con-
gress had plunged the country into n
panic by the side of which the crisis
which Cleveland inherited from Har-
risson paled into insignifcancc, and
other words as many as six syylables.

victims have remarked-when BRYAN

point in their illusions they initiate
and project" their chests. doctor
Carter goes through the same prelim-
inry CREATIONS, but the result is diff
erent-he only initiates and projects
his-tummy, and it has grotesque
effect.
My only quarrel with our Newt is
that he allowed this unwary shyster
to deliver that panegyric on Slemp be-
fore Tazewell arkience-allowed
him to say Tin effect) that Bascom
