Feeling an interest in the political well
fare Of Doddridgc county, and knowing
that your valuable paper has quite good
circulation here, allow me- to say some
thing to my fellow voters through the
columns Of the REGISTER

from the political slough of Radical filth.
and have commenced to breathe healthy
atmosphere once more. but We have those
among IL who are aiming t. destroy
what we as Democrats have struggled 50
hard to It, compli>h. and the future politi-
cal destiny of this county depends on our
action this fall We had an illustration
ii one fact. that we have traitors among
uS. on la-t Friday, the 2jth ult. Men
who pretend 10 be Democrats are deter
mined now To- do rs they did two Years
a%"--lravc nothing unSaid that is false
and nothing undonr that is duty, to de-
>truv the Democratic party. | think
there is not Democrat in Doddridgr
county that has forgotten the campaign
of 49,. when the Democratic party was
iu>t on the verge Of drstructiOn when
the best men Of the party were almost
ready 10 give up IN despair Oh account Of
