THE REPUBLICAN CANDI-
DATE.

Esq. Campbell, the Republican
candidate for Congress, is now indus
triously canvassing the Eastern end
of the District. He has been in RO-
anoke, Montgomery, Wythe, Smyth
and has been at every exhibition of
Coles Circus ia its limits. He has
seen the people, and has distributed
to thousands his circular, which is one
of the most plausible, adroit and
dangerous ones ever set afoat in s.
W. Va. When we add to this his
facinRting address, and great personal
popularity, he becomes very dan
gerous man against the present cons
sentative division. He will outrun
Dol. Hughes, and unless the ranks are
pretty we'll closed on the nominee,
Col. Richmond, he will be elected to
Congress. If 80 the result will be
one for which the Independents them
selves will be responsible. Already
news from the eastern end of the Dis
trict reaches rs that the race there is
clearly between Richmond and Camp
bell. We also learn that Campbell
will get clear majority in Montgom-
cry county. Inspect the returns for
1879 and it will be seen that the re
publicans have a majority in that
county OF near 100 votes.
Esq. Campbell is the first popular
candidate the Republicans have ever
had in the District, and he will even
outrun his party. In few days ne
will 90 toLse, Scott, Wise and Rus
sell. We all know very we'll it takes
less than "a hours preceding an cleo
tion to wheel the republicans into line,
and a. sure asthe 9Th day of Novom-

Nswberry would say You never

its gold coin or its silver coin. Fiat
Money is paper coined, and never to

from the stamp Of the government
gold and silver coin have an intrinsic
value. We want more greenbacks,
but we want the government pledged
to pay them at some time.

THE RESULT.
SUMMARY OF THE CONGRESsMEN
ELECTED on TUESDAY.


New York Sun, 10th.]
Elections for members Of the next
House have been held in Maine, YER
mont, Colorado, West Virginia. Ohio,
Indiana, and Iowa. These seven
States send fifty-four members, and
In the present Congress they are rep
resented by thirty-eight Republicans
and sixteen Democrats.
1t is not yet possible to make an at.
solutely certain classification OF the
results of the elections In these States.
Two or three of the Western districts
are close. Ii Maine one member OF
the Democratic party was chosen, and
ono Workingmsn's candidate was car
risd in by the sid Of Democratic votes;
while In one Of the Vermont Districts
there was no choice ut the September
election, but . Republican Grssnback-
eP 10 likely to be successful In Novem-
Der; and National 10 probably elect
ed in indiana by help Of the Demo
Gratis. Upon the whole, however, the
returns seem to warrant the conclu-
sion that the Republicans Of all sorts
will have thirty of the hfty-foar mem
bers. and the Democrats and their al
lies will have the remaining twenty
four. The full returns may add one,
and possibly two, to the Democratic
column, and there 10 even talk Of the
election OF two Greenback-Demoorats
in Iowa.
Ifthese figures hold true. the Demo
Gratis have made q slight gain thus far

1.-THE above 1882 votes be di>
vided nearly between Richmond,
Newberry and McMullin. Esqr.
Campbell's plurality will be nearly
1000. If even the McMullin and
Newberry vote should be united on
one of them, "a thing impossible.
and the Conservative vote then d.
vided equally between Richmond,
and the one adopted by the OPP
position, Esqr. Campbelle's majority
would still be near $50.

Gov. MoMuIlin tries to parry the
Goolsby Il per cent. loan thrust given
him by Richmond by publishing a
card from Mr.. Goolsby saying his land
vas not sold by Gov. McMullln for
that Ia per cSAt. debt, but that he paid
the Governor in land. This reminds
us Of the chap who was asked by the
Judge why he was arrAigned before
him. FER borrowing money, yer
Honor" Why, said the Judge, we
don't arrest men for borrowing money:
Eyes, but If yer honor will observe,

pie or three times before he would

10 press the land TO sale before he could
get O part Of ii at 9 prlos hs wss will
ing to pay.
Mr.. Goolsby is a very sagaclous
business man, and if he got a good
price out of the Governor 1t was sim
ply because Of his superior sagaoity as
business man. Why did not the
the Governor buy the land before he
advertised IL for sale under decree
of the court? The fact is, the Cover

HOW THE RACE LOOKS

No observing, calculating man can
doubt that this race for Congress is
now between Col. Richmond and Col.
Chas. @. Campbell. In 1872 there
we're Is, $50 votes cast, Of which Col.
Hughes received 1904, or a little
over one-third. II the conservative
vote had been divided evenly between
the nominee and an independent, Col.
Hughes, the radical candidate, would
have been elected. Four years later,
In 1876, Col. Egbert proved that this
Republican vote was solid and per-
manent, for more than nine out of
every ten of them we're cast for him.
He received 4.79I. Yet, Col. Egbert
was a mere carpet-bagger, was never
popular, never made speech, nor is
sued circular, nor cauvassed a cOun>
ty. Col. Campbell will surely poll
more votes than Egbert, for he is
native citizen of the District, is very
popular, personally, has issued a
catching circular, aud is canvassing
every county in the District. If the
conservative vote should be divided
equally between only two Of the can
didates, Col. Campbell will be elect

LOOK OUT!

We ask every thoughtful voter
of the District to note the peculiar
character of the campaign.
The opponents to Richmond,
are not actuated by single motive
that is common to all of them ex-
cept the purpose to defeat that
gentleman. They met at Marion
and did not dare to put man on
the track. They did not dare to
put their flag up. They have nc
man whom they are willing to en-
dorse. The leading ones seem
ashamed to champion either New
berry or AcMullin. 1t is the old
cry of discomfort, "any thing to
beat" Richmond.
Thus far the campaign is just
what might have been expected
one of defamation. Week after
week charges are made against
Richmond, of the most baseless
character. They declared he abus-
ed the grange: But the grams
gers themselves diSprove this
They declared he pulled a
wounded soldier from behind a
stump at Fort Donelson and got
behind it himself. Fortunately all
of Richmonds, company are not
dead and they certify that he did
pull a man from behind q stump at
Fort Donelson and order him to
charge, but as soon as be found the
man was wounded he carried him
back, replaced him and then gal
lantly led his men on the enemy'a
guns. They declared he had spe-
culated on the Poor House of
Scott. But to the Superintendent
returned from the hills of Tazewell
and gave that the liz, certifying
that Richmond was the only mAu
in Scott who would sell to the
Poor House goods at the same
prices he sold for cash and wait a
year for the money.
They declared he opposed the
nominee, Gen. Terry, in 1874, but
it appears he was the only man in
Scott that year who would stump
the County for the nominee, a
thing that neither Newberry nor
McMullin ever did in their lives
and never will do.
They declared that he was a
Funder, but 10 it appears that be
voted in the House of Delegates
for every REIMBURSEMENT measure
and met in caucus with the Read
iusters, thing Newberry never did
and never would do. They de-
clared he was for hard money,
when, he has in every speech de-
clared himself a greenbacker.-
They declared he made one sort of
q speech in the East and an other
in the West. But 10 here goes his
circular ALL OVER this district
East and West, and it speaks the
same everywhere.
And now comes the Marion
HERALD and says he declared at

for Fiat Money.
