We have Simultaneously the opinion OF In
spcctor Vandeyere about the Black Hills busi-
ness and the report of an Indian chief who
has recently paid visit to Sitting Bull.
There is slight discrepancy between them,
such as usually appears between the reports
about Indians from the Interior Department
and those from other sources. The Inspector
is assured that the Sioux will readily relin-
ouish the Black Hills if they are assured OF
good treatment and liberal supplies at the
agencies. Sitting Bulls visitor reports that
chief as making the invasion of the Black
Hills by white men the chief pretcxt for war

In time her people may expect to know all
about "infation" and resumption" to be
told that rag-money is national blessing.
and that bloated bondholders are plotting to
make the nation redeem her promises in coin.
Meantime, however, Servian credit has not
been improved by this arbitrary war measure.

To the Democratic and COnser-
yntiye Voters Of West Virginia.

EutINe OlcEs u WNSt va
Upon the eve of the most import
ant election in the history Of our
country, the Democratic and Conser'
vatiye State Executive Committeeof
West Virginia invite your active CO.
operation, to complete in November
the work so happily begun in octo-'
Der. The election of 4 Democratic
President is demanded by the voice
of an outraged and plundered people,
and assured by the splendidpolitical
events of0ctoberl0th. Theelections
in Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia,
have not only brought within easy
reach the national success Of the
Democratic and Conservative party,
but they have showed that the Re
publican party can only be retained
in power through the shameful neg
lcct and inactivity of Democratic and
Conservative voters.
To you, voters of West Virginia,
the occasion is full of interest and
responsibility. For the first time in
her history as a State, West Virginia
has rivcn in n Presidential wear, Il
Democratic minority majority so
unexpecLcd and so startling in its
magnitude that the entire country
thrills under its effect. Scarcely
less potent in its influence than the
splendid vote by which Indiana
ranged herself on the side Of pure
government and presagcd the nation
al triumph of Reform. This mag
nifcent Democratic majority inyour
state must not simply be maintained,
it must be increased.
Under Republican auspices West
Virginia has held the humbleSt of
positions among her sister states, I'M
needed in public councils, powcrless
in shaping public destiny. Through
your efforts she has been brought to
a conspicuous position before the
country-conspicuous alike for the
independence and incorruptiblc in
tegrity of her people, for the startling
emphasis with which she has passed
her verdict on prevailing mal.admin'
istration, and for the tremendous in
auence she has welded in directing
public events in this Centennial
year.
When the incoming Democratic
administration shall inaugurate the
great work of National Reform, let
West Virginia have such prominence
therein as shall place her second tc
none in the Union. An increased
majority for Tildcn and Hendricks
| in November, and an unbrokcn dele
cation in Congress TO uphold theii
nJrrus, win st'0 se'.os ".o.i,i .,a.5'..''..o-.
of your resolutc sincerity in your
recent demand for 81 change Of Ad
ministaation, change Of measures
and a change Of men,"
The few days yet remaining before
the election leave ample opp9rtani
ty for individual as well as fororgan'
lied effort. Let every man who stood
up for the Democracy in October at,
test by his work and his vote in No,
vcmber, that he loves his country as
well as he loves his State. Let every
voter who wishes for a pure govern
ment, a prosperous republic and q
happy people repeat with increased
emphasis, ON November It'll, the de.
cision by which West Virginia has
declared the Republican party unfit
to be trusted with the dcstinies of the
American people.
NJ. REILLY, Chairman.

The most eloquent orator just now
is "hard times" 1t appeals directly
to the heart and pocket Of every man
withirrosistible force. Your Blaines
and Ingcrsolls may cxpond their fine
rhetoric as they will, but the thous-
ands of hungry men and women are
anxious only to know whore bread
and meat are to come from. They
realize the necessity ola change, and
hence the working classes are all for
Tildcn.

Civil Service Reform, by all
Means,

Means.
So the Republican organs want to
fight the rest of the campaign on the
issue of Civil Service Reform. By
all means! That is the issue which
the Democracy have insisted from
the first was the single issue of the
campaign, and the only one which
the people would consider. The
result of the October elections show
that the people have been unaffected
by the Bloody-shirt Trades of Ingcr-
soil and Blaine, and that the popular
rcvulsion against their abuse Of the
South and of Governor Tildcn, is SO
strong that the Republicans were
nearly voted down in their own
stronghold of Ohio.
Now let them stand up for judg-
ment while We show to the great
jury of the country, that since 1865,
every National and State platform
adopted by the Republicans has
promised Civil Service Reform; and
almost every message and inaugural
speech by the President, has appeal
cd to Congress for support on that is
sue. Let us also show the people
Belknap acquitted by the Ropubli-
can Senate; Robson still retained in

tee; Dclano, Creswell, Williams and
Murphy, retired with handsome let

resignation, and the other with no
letter at all. Let us show the people
Babcock acquitted through the Pres
ident's efforts; the sale ofpost trader
ships, carried on by the Presidents
brother through information impart.
ed by the President for that purpose.
Let us show the people that the man
who came within thirty votes of the
nomination at Cincinnati, and who
is now the leading spokesman of
Gov. Hayes, was convicted by his
own letters of pcddling his decisions
as speaker. Let us show the people
corruption in every department OF
the Government without ono single
exception, and almost without excep,
ton, in every bureau. Let us show
them corruption in the Senate, and
in the House, and in the White
House, Let US show them that this
Administration, the worst in our
history, has been Endorsed by every
State and National Republican Con,
vcntion in the last seven years.
Then let us ask the people wheth,
or these are the men to be intrustcd
with the work of Civil Service Re
form. Let us show the people on the
other hand, that the Democratic par
ty in single session in the House,
has reduced the appropriations 500
100000 below the estimates of the Re
publican departments; and that Coy.
Tilden in less than two years Ad-
ministration, has reduced the taxes
nearly one-half, and has purgcd his
State of Rings, Then we can ask,
which party will you trust---thc par
ty whose record is bad, but whose
promises are good; or the party whose
record is good, and whose promises
are even better? We await the an
swer with confidence.

election. he said that anything less

after a long delay andmuch figuring,
he comes out with an address in d.
