THE POUND OF FLESH"

Congressman Nicely will be in "orr
midst this week. and 1t is presumed
he will take advantage of the opportu-
nifty offered to explain why he has not
hilled the long-standing vacancy in
the Wheeling postofice. Perhaps he
will conclude not to say anything IN
explanation OF the delinquency on his
part. He may. in all probability. con-
fuse the public mind and dismiss Tire
whole subject by iterating and reit-
Grating the favorite argument OF Dem
ocratic speakers and the party press
you're a liar" and let it go at that,
We shall be greatly disappointed II he
does not hide behind the cornered bluff
fer's screen.
The lntelligencer repeats what is
generally understood in this commu-
nifty. that Mr.. Nicely has purposely de-
layed the announcement OF his selec-
ton of a postmaster until after cleo
ton, for the reason that the man he
has been forced TO endorse for that
poSltlon Is not acceptable to a large
element in his party; that he hest
tates to announce his compliance with
the demands OF the -. ]. o. Ring
in fear OF the effect it may have on
his political fortunes; that a pre-
nomination pledge to this ring obi
gates him to name DR.. ]. ]. o'Kane
for the vacant postmastership. II he
has not done this thing. then he has
failed TO fulfill his pledge and the ring
has failed to obtain its pound OF flesh.
for II was so nominated in the bond. ."

THE VICTORIOUS RECORD.

Nineteen months OF ineficiency and
profigate waste of the peoples money
is one of the indictments agains' the
Democratic party. The indictment OF
extravaganza was written in the first
place by prominent. conscientious lead
ers of its own party. The Democratic
chairman OF the House committee on
appropriations early in the session OF
Congress. the Hon. John J. Fitzger.

statement:
