lTEMpEsr in THE DEMOCRATIC


81 Tits evident that Congressman Neely
thinks more Of the Wheeling Register
than he does the Times. Last night
q he gave the Wheeling paper the name
Z Of the man he recommended for post
4 master in Wheeling. He also instruct
ed the Register to withhold from the
d Times and other papers that informa'
u ton. ut is likely that no reader OF Inc
Times gives continental d-lnn who
I; Is postmaster at Wheeling. The Times
4 in the county that gave the congress-
/ man the i 200 majority that elected him
i cares Just as little about the postmas'
ter or the information that common
v courtesy entities it to.
Persons Interested in the frumeup for
l the Fairmont postoffice will have to
H look to Wheeling paper for informa'
ton, The Times has been barred by
8 the congressman who voices the recon-
( mendations. II the local situation is as
interesting as those OF Wheeling and
other places" It will likely be fine
reading that Times subscribers Will
4 not get first hand.-The Times.

There must be some mischievous
Senegambian in the Democratic cord
wood somewhere. The question is,
4 what's it?
Can 1t be possible that the Major
does not trust the Morning Glory OF
Monroe street with the bosom secrets
