The Wheeling Intelligence has asked
for, and OF course obtained, from Senator
Boies Penrose, OF Pennsylvania, an en-
dorsement OF the Republican ticket in
West Virginia. This endorsement will
not 90 very far with self-reSpecting per-
sons who know the sort OF things for
which Penrose stands, for he is the cham
pion OF almost every crooked measure
that comes up in Congress and is known
as a corruptionist and corporation repre-
sentative who is utterly out OF sympathy
with The masses OF the people.
Besides, even if the Intelligencer fails
in ordinary decency in seekinga opinion
at this time from such man, PenroSe
himself ought TO be ashamed TO express
himself TO West Virginia, for it has been
only week or two since he ridiculed
the suiferings OF the wretched people
whose homes were destroyed in the Cabin
creek disaster in this State. When Sen
ator Chiffon called up resolution in the
Senate providing 100000 for the relief
OF these poor, suffering miners and their
families, PenroSe sneeringly remarked
that there had been thunder storm in
Pittsburg and he would like TO have some
government money for his State also.
Truly, such man ought TO have great
influence in West Virginia.
