districts; and thus, we venture, many
I hundreds of votes were secured and
brought out that otherwise would have
been lost. So much for organization;
80 much for individual effort, and We
thank nobody but the men who did it.
The Dean Bros, james McCahan,
and hosts of others, true blues, all
through the campaign till the close of
the polls, did nobly for the right. Spe-
cial thanks are due James Miskel, ,hith-
ertO az unwavering Democrat, who
worked like hero for the Republican
ticket, and his influence was keenly
felt by the Democracy, who now had
but bitter abuse for their old friend.
But their invectivcs fell harmless at
James feet, who knows how TO be
man and do his own thinking, without
any assistance from the Democratic
party. Long live all these champions
of truth and the right.
We desire, in this connection, to
make special acknowledgements TO
the gallant and whOle-sOuled Republi-
cans of West Virginia, for the inspira
tiOn their D1anly enthusiasm lent to
our caml aign on this side. We felt
your influence for good, invincible Re
.publiyans of Wheeling, and it nerved
us for the fight. Your devotion to
principle, your earnest effort for the
right, merited the reward of a crown
ing victory. Still ''stand by the right
as God gives you to see it," and We
hope we may mutually join in a grand
anthem of triumph in November. We
again thank you for your heroic devO-
tion to the Republican cause. TO all
we say, Trust in God, and keep your
powder dry" Organize, organize!
Keep your camp-tires burning bright
~, your arms well Furnished, and from
now till the Ides of November, be
Watchful, be vigilant, make the fight
an aggressive one; be earnest and de-
termined, and victory is assured.
Never tefore was the necessity of uni
ted effort at the polls more manifest
In III on last election day. One of Sam
fIlden's still hunts was attempted to
be rerpetrated on US; but Samuel's
Pint-ers couldn't win, though they
Wa2ged their tails imploringly. An
early hunt didn't avail; the game was
alert and abroad; steady, earnest, fear
less work by a band of men who dared
to DO, won US many votes ami ii splen-
did victory in Bridgeport. We take
pleasure in making honorable mention
of e. p. and G. NJ. Rhodes, Eiwood and
Seymour Dunlevy, Will Graham, Will
