TEN YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC
RULE IN WEST VIRGINIA,

Sturgis., the Republican candidate for
Governor. says the Wheeling Register, takes
great pleasure in statistics. But ne doe. No,
seem to have struck the U S. census. Now
the U. 5. census ought to be good Repub.
ilcan authority. 1t was taken by the appoin>
tees OF 4 Is. Hayes. aud mono but Repub,
licans found it of any avail to apply for a iob
in sollsoting these statistics. S,urgiss is
laboring hard to convince the peopls that
under Democratic government, West Virsinia
is going back ward. But in this ststsnen.
Sturglss and the U. S. census DISAGREE
Either Sturgiss or the censu, is guilty of a
very great psrversiou of facts as rersrds the
growth of West Virginia In teu wears of
Democratic supremacy in West Virgins. this
State has grown more tkan the average of
New England States; more than the aysra,s
of the Middle States moro than the aver>
age OF the Southern States; aud moro than
the majority of tho Western States In fast
there are only seven States in the Union that
have had greater ratio of increase in popn.
latlon than West Virginia, in the last ten
years. Ihs New England States have gained
but l6 per cent; the Middle States but 10
per ceat.; the Southern States but % ner
cent; and tho Western S,otes but as r.r
cent; 'rhile tie mountain State of West VTr.
g'"ia has gained GU per cent That ia what
Democracy has been dung for West Virginia,
Those States where the Republican party
has been III the supremacy, have made the
least increase. Radical Vermont increased
at the rate of l per cent, and jim BIsinc's
Maine at per cent while the entire aver
age increase for Republican Nav EugInnd is
only l6 per cent From population of
about 4l2, 900 when the Democratic partv
came into power in West Virginia. it has run
up to nearly million. or exactly 7OS, 900.
