Not Very Willing, but Anxious.

1t has not been but a few weeks
since the Republican journals heaped
derision upon the Greenbackers and
Workingmen Of this county, and
secuted the idea of a coalition of any
kind. Now they are not only will
ing but anxious, and are down upon
their knees imploring the Working
men and Greenbackers to help them.
But while the Republicans are anx-
ious, the Greenbackers don't seem so
much inclined as they were. 1t is
easy enough for the leaders and office
seekers of both parties to form a com
bination, but as water and oil won't
mix, it will be pretty hard to mix
the masses of the Republicans and
Greenbackers in this county and get
them to vote the Point
Pleasant Register.

gross and patent fraud upon their
rights been successfully committed.
And that this, the crime of the cen
turtles, should not be repeated, and il
attempted, branded with the infamy
it deserves, is the mission Of the
Democrats throughout the Union.
Let it be rebuked at the polls. Our
fathers with their prophetic wisdom
had forseen the dangers to which our
free institutions would be exposed
from professional office holders, and
had embodied in the Virginia Bill Of
Rights the admonition to which we
should now give an attentive ear: at
was written aforetime, and written
for our learning" Among the polit-
ical problems of the age are the fu-
ture of the African, Chinese and In
dian. To only one of these has the
Republican party bestowed its par
ticular attention, it being the only
one it can use for political capital.
The African freedman is their spe-
cial ward but their attentions re-
mind one Of christian" in Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress, who, when on his
way to the Holy City, saw two men
who afar off were pleasantto behold,
but when they came near he found
them hideous in the extreme. So the
Republicans love the African, but
they love him afar off, and among
their political schemes by which the
poor darkey was the sufferer, is the
infamous "Kansas exodus" He re-
called to recollection an account of
one of these deluded innocents seek
ing his way back on foot, and with
out means, who, in reply to ques-
ton as to where he was going, said:
''I'm from de State Of
Old Mort Carolny
And am gwIne back
Home to die dar.
This was but an instance of the
many who were victimized. His ad-
vice to the colored men was to stay
at home, and by economy and indus
try earn themselves homes and COM
petence, which was the only sure
road to political power and happiness,
and would lift them out of their pl es-
ent position as tools Of machine pol
iticians.
The eloquent speaker made some
striking points on the plutocratic
tendencies of the present time. He
showed that the wages Of mechanics
and laborers of all kinds had de-
creased 364 per cent in the decade
preceding the panic; while the sal
aries of office holders from the Presi-
dent down had increased almost 100
per cent.
The silver question was referred to,
and the wise course of the Democrats
commended. We regret our inabii-
ty to give the address in full. 1t was
too good not to be preserved 1t was
well received by our citizens and I'M
iversally commended as a logical,
clear and convincing argument in ia
vor of Democratic principles.
