ing record, was never made by any party
on Gods green earth than that made by
the Democratic party. Abiding TO The
whisky frauds, Mr.. Hollister said that
the Republicans were turning out thieves
and sending them 10 the penitenhary In
pairs-a Republican official and Demo.
cratic distiller. The Republicans com.
menced the investigation long before the
Democrats thought Of it, The Republi.
cans have done It alone, and need no help
from the Democratic party.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. HOLSTERS
remarks there were loud calls for Todd
and Poorman, when the chairman an.
uounced that neither Of the. gentlemen
were present.
HON. C. D. HUBBARD
being called for, came forward and res.
pended in 4 brief but stirring address.
He spoke Of the Republican party being
clear, distinct and positive in their dec
laratiou Of principles. We owe it TO the
Republican party that this year we cele-
brate our Centennial anniversary. The
Democrats have a free trade plattorniand
the Republicans protect American labor.
There Is no State so much interested in
this question as the st2te Of West Viz.
sinia. Instead OF going forward she will
90 backward If American labor is not
protected against foreign labor. The
Democratic party is emphatically free
trade party, and they cannot deny it. The
mission Of the Republican party is TO
make every man a free man and protect
him. Foreign born citizens will receive
protection wherever they may go. The
speaker could not conceive how any man
could fail to recognize in Hayes IN honest
man as compared to Tilden; and
believed that the verdict OF the
American people will be that the men
who stood up for the Union are, the men
10 direct the future Of the Union. Speak
ing OF the Democratic cry Of reform he
Illustrated our experience here in West
Virginia. Gen. Golf, be said, is q man
who is every whit a mana man allover
The remainder OF the ticket is composed
Of equally as good men. Our candidate
for Treasurer will give you no Burdeti
business; our candidate for Attorney
General Il one OF the best lawyers in The
State. Referring again to the National
ticket, he took from his pockei
and read some extracts from Brick
Pomeroys last paper concerning Mr.
Tilden, remarking that II Brick didn't
know all about the Democratic party no
body did. Mr.. Hubbard could not see how
any honest man could hesitate between
HAYES and Tilden. II honesty, truth and
ability will win, there will be no .ques'
ton about the success Of the Republican
candidates. It is our duty to so labor
. and 90 work as to secure the election no,
only Of Gen. Gotf and the State ticket
but Hayes and Wheeler also.
JOHN R. HUBBARD, ...
in ans ger to many calls, made vigorous
speech Of ten minutes duration. Mr.
Hubbard thought that the ticket nomina
ted at Parkersburg should receive the
sanction Of all good citizens Of West
Virginia. The grand system Of public
schools originated with the Republican
party. Not only white boy can be ed
uca,ed, but also black boy. II is mo-
so much the color OF mans skin, bu
the opportunities he makes useof tina
fits him for high places. Il is CRANE
thing in Virginia that colored mer
can not only vote, but also have an oppor
tunity OF learning how 10 vote. Therefore
stand by the Republican party, and votl
for all their candidates that you thinl
worthy OF support. To the Republican
party we owe the preservation Of III,
Union, and 70 all those Democrats VIII,
fought with US extend the right hand o
,, fellowship. The Republicanism OF thi
country Is worthy Of your support, ant
let every man work for it and we viii
succeed.
There were loud cries for Mr.. KEN
, pie, and that gentleman reluctantly as
cended the platform and in few vel
turned remarks declined speaking. Tn
meeting then adjourned with three rous
ing cheers and n tiger for Hayes ant
Wheeler.
