GLrsvILLE. w. Va, Aug. e5.
attended joint discussion at
Grantsyille, Calhoun couaty, on the
o3d instant between Rev. Turney for
the Republicans, Mr.. Kendall for the
Greenbackers, aud Judge Brown OF
Jackson county, and Col. Wilson for the
Democrats. Mr.. Turney led off in
violent and bitter partisan speech; he
denounced Gen. Hancock aud the
Democratic party, and not content with
this no ANNOYED Judge Brown by inter-
ruptions and interrogatories after that
gentleman had.begun his speech. Finally
/ his manner become 80 offensive that
JnJye Brown fairly skinned him alive.
/ have never witnessed such castiga-
NON. He drove the Rev. demagogue
irom the stand amidst the most uproari-
Gus hurrahs, in which all parties joined:
Col. Wilson followed in one OF his best
speeches. He showed the relations be-
tween the three parties and evidently
satisfied the Democracy that their duty
and the best interest oil the county de-
manded the support OF Hancock and the
Democratic ticket. Mr. Kendall, who
il the Greenback candidate in the coun-
ties of Richie and Calhoun for seat
in the Legislature, followed. He Is a
fair speaker for a young man and pre-
scented the main points OF Gen. Weavers
position in a clever manner. The DIS
cuSsion between himself and Col. Will
son was courteous and in marked con
trast with the skinning process OF Judge
Brown and the Rev Turney. On yes
teriay Tuesday. Judge Brown, Col.
Wilson, and Mr.. Kendall spoke at Tan
nersyille. Judge Brown opened the
meeting with a rousing Hancock speech,
followed by Mr.. Kendall who seemed to
regard his effort OF the previous day as
futile one and accordingly he INDUCED
i'm A TRADE against the Democratic party.
His speeches are mere sophistry, to put
il mildly, rs indeed are all the Green
back speeches we have heard this cam
paign. Col. Wilson made mastery
effort and his speech was highly appre-
ciated bv his many friends. He COM
pleteIy demolished Kendall. III il is
true that actions and deeds speak louder
than words the present condition OF the
Little Kanawha River compared with
that OF a few years ago certainly speaks
for itselfand | am sure that our people
i'm this great belt Of country VIII be
slow to trade off the man who was IN
strumental in bringing about that
change, in whom We recognize faithful
and an able public servant. especially
when the material We would have TO
choose IRON does not come up to the
ordinary standard. The most that can
be said for one Is that he - trlcSey
lawyer the representative OF still more
trickey and corrupt party. The other
candidate is q passive inotfensive man
without experience, without the slight
est knowledge OF Constitutional Law,
without a record and with poor pros
poets OF having one.
Today Judge Brown and Col. Wilson
spoke az this place-Mr. Kendall failed
To put in an appearance. The Green-
hackers had announced that Henry ..
Walker, Dir. Freer and Mr.. Burdettc
would speak ut these three meetings
hut they failed to be on manufactured,
as some OF their friends say, by high
waters. Ii was a clear case OF Provi-
DENTAL interference 10 prevent the hon
est veomanry OF this section from being
insuIted bv the presence of Henry S.
Walker, than whom there is no more
corrupt and unprincipled politician IN
the State OF West Virginia. And NAV
the good Lord deliver Us from a party
that clamours and fairly hOwls Tor re-
form in politics, for purity and honesty
i'm hiyh offices aud in the very face OF
all this endorses such q man as Walker
as a true exponent OF its principles and
As a fit person to teach them to honest
men.
The REGISTER made q good point
when it showed to its readers the fact
that the Greenbacker speakers are
spending their time in Gilmer, Calhoun
and other Democratic cOuntles-that
they are evidently seeking recruits from
the Democratic ranks and in this way
they hope to aid Garfield, thing they
could not do ii they would come out
sauarely and manfu'ly Tor him. The
meetings referred To- above have had the
effect OF presenting the true issues to
the people and arousing some OF the
heretofore lukewarm Democrats and OF
inspiring the entire Democracy with en-.
thusiasm.
The tireenbackers have made some
headway in these counties but their
rage is run and the recruiting business
stopped. The Democrats are organizing
aud they will poll their usual large ma
iorities-IIaucock, Jackson and Wilson,
and indeed the entire ticket will sweep
the Little kanawha Valley. Send us
