TAN REASON WAN,
'EMe Reels w q BaA Box.

The plan of campaign adopted by the
Black Republicans in this county suvors
of exceeding wisdom. By it they are en-
abled to surmouHt some obstacles which
otherwise might give them no inconsider-
able trouble, whilst al the same time they
eudearor, uRdrr lac spurious title OF in
dependents, to make inrosds upon the
Democratic organization. Had they held
county Convention, under the invitation
of their State platform, the numerous col
ored men and..brethren upon whose. isup-
port they now rely with so much JUNCTION,
would doubtless have demanded admission
and graced the party with their presence.
The leaders veil knew this. and knew
that to refuse them the right to participate
in thcirssdeliberntions would thrOw!qui'e q
dampcr over the patriotic order of the col
ored troops, whilst to welcome. them as
their equals might have equally as cooling
an effect upon some poor white members
of their party, who frsm neglected educa-
tions would doubtless be unable to keep
pace with the great moral ideas inculcated
by such nm exhibition. and whose olfa,.
tories would not scent with pleasing emo
lion the odcrous perfume cxhaled BY these
dusky wards of the nation From this
dilemma they released themselves by hold
ing no convention whatever. but fearing
tOtr;ne boldly before the people with reg
ular nominees, standing upon the BLACK
Republican platform, they hare announced
the pets of their own party as, ''indePen-
dent" candidates for such Offices. as they
desired, and by promise of their party
vote seduced such. Democrats as could te
thus bribed, 10 run for such other paltry
t. 20
county Offices as were not desired by
them. Associnting their. OVID candidates
with men heretofore recognized as Demo .
Gratis. they have made bold attempt a.
disorgnni.ing'she Democratic patty, and
through it, and under cover Of their Dem
ocratic colleagues. seek to elect the rep
rcsentative men Of their party. Ties.
independents" almost without exception
claim to be Democrats. Yet the bulk of
their supportwill be By Black Republican
ballots; and as Democrats why did they
not present their names before the Demo-
cratic Convention and have their claims
allowed. These facts alone should con-
vince any reasoning man Of their insin-
certify. They are playing q nice game,
and theirs is a nice plan but twill glang
aglee on the 9th Of October, and these
gentlemen will receive such a rchuke as
win convince them Of tho impossibiliiy of
successfully playing fast and loose in a
Democratic county like Lewis. ie

For Prosecuting Attorney.

>
Heretofore We have made no special
mention of the nominee for Prosecuting
|lAnorney-Geo. Cozad, Esq; and we
now cbcerfully and With prOpriety take
up the pen in his behalf. AS lawyer oil
ability and integrity he has established a
reputation in this and other counties
which Las brought HIM, . lucrative prac-
tice. As man, his character has upon
it no blcmish. As n Democrat he is and
has been at all times true and faithful.
The writer hereof we'll knows that in th 6
dark days of $500, when Mr.. Cozad was
residing a, Buckhannon-and when ii was
dangeroa. for any Que to sag that be wa.
q white man; George Cosad Was bold,
true and out-spoken. At the time when
returning rebels we're scOffed ut and spit
upon, George Cozpi. by his influence
with the military, and a, bis own personal
risk, secured to those Of the citizens Of
Upshur county who had been across the
lines that protection which is due to
every American citizen. Siuce that time,
whenever thu Democracy needed cham
pion and speaker. George cozad has
been. ever ready. In rain, mud and snow
has he trarersed the hills and dales fthc
State, iu the white mans cause, when
but few. IF any) could be found willing
to undertake the trouble and danger Of
the stump. He is well and favorably
kuoEn to the Democracy OF the county,
and we feel assured that on Thursday he
will poll the full perty rOte-ior he is toe
good Democrat to receive the ballot OF
any Black Republican.

BRAINS GER BONES.

On next Thursday our citizens will not
only be called upon to elect a full State
and county ticket, but to decide which of
the two gentlemen whose names head
this article shall be tho neI! Congressman
from this District
Mr.. Davis, the Democratic candidate,
is gentleman in the prime and vigOr of
life. Without the did Of wealth or family
influence, ho has made himself, by his
own unailed energy and industry, one
of the foremost men in the State. As a
lawyer he has few supOriOrs-as an orator,
he is calm, dignifed, and argumcntitive,
and his speeches during the present can
rass have been universally conceded to
be the most dispassiOnnte, but, ut the
same,imc, the most forcible and effective
made on either side! His ability j, as
unqucstiOnoa as bis personal character is
above rcproach. lis answering aaher-
cnce to principle, regardless Of the cOnse-
ouences to. hinself-his manly and able
defence of our country's institutions, and
his afTable, pleasant manners have made
him hosts of friends. A man Of and from
the peoplc-whose interests are identical
with theirs, he is such o Representative as
West Virginia might be proud to have
upon the floor of Congress.
Of his opponent, Nathan Goff, Jr.,
we have but little to say. Ho is, in all
respects, the opposite Of Dir. Davis,
Born with the gold spoon in lis mouth
surrounded from his earliest infancy by
all the comforts and luzuries which
wealth could command-with the adran.
tages which money gives to the scions of
wcalth-by the aid of q judicious expen-
di,ure Of some Of the surplus funds Of his
many relatives-aided by family influence.
he has succeeded in obtaining proni-
ncncc which his unaided ability would
never have acquired! The chill Of
wealth-he has no feelings in common
with the masses of our peoples born
a.istocrat, the people are mere tools to be
used for his ownaggrandizement-a bond
holder himself-lhe son of one bond holder
and the nephew and expected heir Of
another, his vote, If elected, wonld b.
given to pcrpciuate the slavery of he o.
pie to the Bondocrats. Endorsing the
18th Amendment, he announces boldly
that "ihis is not Hhte HANS Gorern-
npnf," and is proud to become the cham.
pion of Negro Suffrage and all its a'tsn-
dant evils! '- -
