= y We propose
to endorse and support hlm-nOt as apo.
litlcal candidate, nor as member Of eth.
er party, but as the peoples choice. II the
honest Democracy Of this State desire to
do an honest man justice; II they desire to
re:elect Governor Jacob in defiance OF the
corrupt ring which now controls the
Democratic party and the State Of West
Virginia; II they will, in good faith, pledge
Gov. Jacob their support, as against Cam.
den, scc as spokesman OF our party in
this county, will pledge ourself TO aid
them by all honorable means to accom-.
plish their purpose. We have been as.
sured of the approval of the party in this
course.
The gubernatorial contest in this State,
at this time, simply amounts TO antago.
nism between honesty and honor on the
one,side, and base fraud and corruption
on tho other. The cause is not the less
worthy because it happens to have Demo.
cratic leaders and is sustained by Demo
cratic voters. We will not be deferred
from what we consider to be our duty by
any such narrow views. We can aid
Democrats in a public reformation with
as much zeal as we would desire them TO

Gov. Jacob IS therefore now fairly be.
fore the people, and he will be elected,
widtout doubt. "AIarion county will
give him five huudfad majority" was the
exclamation Of prominent Democrat,
upon reading6the announcement. And
we belicycit The honest Democrats oil
this county can cast their votes for Gov.
Jacob with the full assurance that they
are voting Tor an honest, capable and eff.
cientotilcer-one who has proved himself
such by public record against whom no
man can raise.a single objection, Let all
honest men unite upon Gov. Jacob, and
give him such q majority as will forever
crush out the miserable clique which
nominated, as well as the extreme Radi-
cal horde now seeking to rob the Treas
ury Of the peoples money.
Down with Camden! -
Down with rings!
Down with monopolies

Gov. Jacob Only Did His Duty in
Becoming Candidate.
tFrom the Berkeley UnIon.)
Its a common theory that "honesty is
the best policy" Acting upon that belief
and under the impression, that he was
transacting the business of the people for
the whole people, John ]. Jacob, though
elected by the Democratic party, made an
honest and impartial Governor. Acting
upon the opposite principles that athe
means justify the end" and being unable
to corrupt their honest Governor, the
Democrats slaughtered Gov. Jacob at
the Parkersburg Convention and placed
in nomination,a man whose sole capital
for the position is the fact that he
was n man Of capital, and was able
to call around him ring, capable Of
choking off every other aspirant, no mat.
ter what his merits or qualification. As.
Containing that the gibbet was erected
and the moose ready for his public exc.
cution, he refused togo into the Conven-
ton, and thus acted manly, honestly and
fairly. Gov. Jacobs action therefore can.
not take the corrupt leaders OF the Demo.
cracy by surprise. They threw down the
guantlet and he has manfully taken itup
and will have the people decide as to
whether they will support an honest man
in the performance Of his sworn duty or
will ,sustainan organized political ring Of
wire workers. To Republicans it is not
q question o! political principle, but hav.
ing no regular candidate, the question
presented is one Of moral and manly prin.
