Comes to the Pioneer Press for publ

Harry II. Holmes Of Writ County, W.
Va. Had Mr.. Holmes been properly
convicted and converted, he never
would have written such a letter.
The principles of the Republican party
are next to the principles Of God, but
the Progressves are sick and tired of
sycophants using them to abuse them.
Yes, true principles are eternal, i'm
perlshable, immortal" and men who
fail to live up to them are humbugs.

1t is amusing to witness the jollity of
the Democratic party-s stepped and
dyed in political sins, over the sugges-

one whit better, for both are rotten, and
neither seems to have enough sense to
know that they are dead and where
