RE STIRRING,

No matter what Democrats may think
on Presidential and Guberuntorial caudi.
dates, let them be united and earnest upon
the one great question, SO Virtual to thc
very liberties Of West Virginians-t the pro-.
posed New Constitution! Lot US be as one
on this momentous issue! Let US act and
work!
The old days ofclvuds and darkuess-o
personal ostracism and party despotism
threaten to return. Through the Jacob
detection enemies hope to triumph. Asthe
scum and refuse rise to the surface when
the ocean is dashed, so the political scum
and refuse Of West Virginia hope to come
to the surface now thata political sea boils
and is in turmoil The carpct-baggers,
the scalawass, the ring managers, the
hungry seekers, the renegades, the
petty tyrants Of the registry-all these arc
watching aud longing like vultures for
their prey; and all these must be kept down
by the united Democracy and Conservatism
Of the State.
Only three weeks are left wherein to
work. Democrats and honest Conscrva.
tives, work we'll during that time. Suffer
none Of your careless ncighbors to be any
longer Indifferent. Wake them up to the
importance Of this second great struggle,
which is to fortiiy and make secure your
highest interests both ofperson and proper
