The Cumberland News says tie DEM
ocracy of West Virginia are paralyzed
with the fear of impending defat, and
are making desperate struggle to save
themselves. We have the best authori-
ty for stating that certain clerk of one
of the House committees went to New
York to interview Tilden and to lay be-
fore him written statement signed by
all the Democratic electors of West Vir-
ginia and several of the members Of con-
gress. This document sets forth in moss
urgent terms the absolute necessity Of an
immediate supply of money and Of
speakers in order to save the State; it
declares that the Republicans are gain
ing ground every day, and that the State
is lost, beyond peradventure, to the Dem
ocratic party, unless immediate and
substantial aid is given. They appeal
to Mr.. Tilden and his committee to open
that "bar'l O. money" as the only means
of saving West Virginia from going Re-

INITIATORIY.

Having no political organ in
Berkeley County, we have thought
Unnecessary to make some arrange
ments by which the voters could
be reached with facts aud figures,
and arguments upon the political
issues of the day. If political or
gans were always fair and willing
to give political events as they oc-
cur, without biased comments, the
offspring of warped Judgments
this necessity would not have been
forced upon us. When added to
this, the so-called organ of the
Democratic party in this place, run
by monstrosity and under the
control of a family clique, villifies
and abuses good citizens, both white
and colored, (all Of them of better
character than the monstrosity)-
either at his own option OF at the
instigation of the family, it is time,
it is proper that an effort be made
TO protect citizens from unjust and
improper attacks. We say citi-
Zens and we use the word in its
largest sense, for we care not what
a mans. political faith may be, If
he is a good citizen, he is entitled
to fair treatment from even poll
ticians or POLITICAL editors We
want fair arguments, not personal
yituperation-we want facts, not
malignant suspicious. The people
have learned to be prudent and
thoughtful, and they have also
learned to decide between genuine
argument and political buncombe.
We prodose to place our cause be-
fore the reason and intelligence,
and not the passions of voters. Our
object is neither TO co-erce or Wilt
fy, but to truthfully speak that the
right may win. We will place be-
fore the people the ills that have
been placed upon us in the six
years of Democratic rule in this
State, and contrast It with the pre-
vious Republican administration
OF home affairs. We will show
who has over burdened the people
with a useless constitution, class
legislation, county court system,
peculation in office and other mis-
deeds, and we will leave the peo-
Pile to decide as to how their votes
shall be cast on the 10th of October.

REPUBLICAN MANAGEMENT.

The Democrats have a good deal to
say about Republican extravaganza and
ineficiency. They could have done it
so much better, you know. Things
were different when they were in power?
But the official records speak for them
selves:
Since 1866 the Republicans have de-
creased the public debt $3.50, POI ,O20. IA,
that is, they have wiped out nearly a
quarter of the entire debt.
They have reduced the annual interest
account from $143,781,5 91 to $780,
093, 544, thus effecting an annual saving
of $40,6sS,O47.
The have accomplished reduction of
S203, 419, 553, "a year in internal rev.
enue taxes, and of $50, 564, TAO. "a in the
tariff taxes-thus making total reduc-
ton in taxation of more than two hun
dred and sixty millions.
They have, by wise and faithful man
agement, improved the public credit SO
that the Government can now borrow
at Al per cent. and thus save interest !;
whereas, under Democratic administra-
ton the credit OF the country was SO
impaired that the Government could
not borrow at less than II per cent.
These are nuts for Democratic re-
formers" to crack.

HOW DO THE PEOPLELIKE THIS.

A Correspondent Of the Charleston
Journal says this of Gen. Mathews, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
West Virginia:
Not many months since, he was in
Charleston in company with II. r,
Howard, of Mason, Thomas B. Kline, Of
Cabell, and several other gentlemen,
talking about our Free School system,
when he boldly said:
i would sell nay shirt from my back
before would allow my children to be
educated in free school,.
He assigned as reason, that he did
not wish his children to associate with
such as were found attending the "pau-
per schools"

THE PHILOSOPHY OF TORCH
ARGUMENTS.

The Democratic club of this place has
been expanding considerable money and
valuable time in parading the streets
with torches, accompanied by great
number of boys, who, of course, are ever
ready to take part in anything that looks
boyish or is ,ludicrous and amusing. 1t
really is fun for the boys, and there can
be no doubt but that they enjoy it, and
the regret is that they occur so seldom.
Boys will be boys you know, and they
will have their fun no matter whether it
consists of firing crackers, building bon
fires or burning coal oil at the end of
stick. We don't wonder therefore, that
so many boys take part in bearing torches
and but so few men care a bout indulg-
ing in boyish sport There is, however,
some philosophy in show. A man who
wears good clothes and does nothing is
presumed to have money, but at the
same time his name may be worthless
among the bank officers. Many articles
look like goold or silver, but the jeweler
with slight test discovers only COM
mon alloy. The boy whistles in going
through grave yard, but the great God
knows that his heart is nearly palsied
with fear. Politicians hurrah, poles go
up. lights CLEAN, and it is all done to
make show of strength in the hope
Of attracting votes, but is only show
pierce through the sham and the leaders
are trembling in their boots with the
knowledge of their weakness.

The Democratic party in this State
is managed altogether by lawyers. 1t
is a lawyers machine, and none but
lawyers need apply. There are six
lawyers on their State ticket, and
their Tilden and Hendricks electoral

profession. They have no use for
the hardy sons of toll in that party,
