The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1880-05-29

SeCuTeU III ledSl lue appointment vi
one Greenbackers as enumerator of
the Census in Monongalia county.
They are very anxious to secure the
votes of the Greenbackers, to pat
them on the back, and to call them
by all kinds of endearing names, but
when il comes to the loaves and fish
es, then-presto-non but simon
pure Radicals are wanted.
In all probability West Virginia
will be entitled to one more Congress
man after the completion of the Cen
sus. The Legislature elected this
fall will have to reorganize the Con-
gressional Districts, very import
ant matter, in political point of
view. Should the Radicals, by some
unforeseen accident. get control Of the
Legislature, they would, true to their
nature, gcrrymander the several Dis
tricts. so as to send a majority, if not
an entire Radical delegation to the
next Congress. The Radical lead
ers of this State, no doubt aware of
this fact, are moving heaven and
earth to accomplish their nefarous
design. The motto: "The end justi-
fies the MEANS" they have adopted as
their battle cry. To again get control
of the State, TO satisfy their lust for
office and plumber, to again fasten
the chains of slavery around us, to
again disfranchise and degrade us, is
their main object.
That they had no good will for
their political opponents when in
power, il abundantly proven; and
that they hate us now more than ev-
er, is clear to every observant mind.
Their cry of reform is as meaningless
and hollow as all their pretensions
for the welfare Of the people have
been. 1t is said that the Hyena, for
the purpose Of alluring its unsus-
pccting victim to its lair, will initiate
human being in distress. SO it is
with the Radical leaders of this
State. BY their alluring cry of re-
form they want to induce the unsus-
pecting Democrat from his path of
| duty, and to ALLEVIATE him from his
political friends and principles But
in this they will reckon without their
host.
We will have to hear vet of one
Democrat who has been deceived by
their false pretenccs. On the other
hand, we know Of several Bepublic-
ans, men of honor and principle,
who do not believe that "the end
justifies the MEANS" vino will not
give up their independence of thought
and action, who do not believe in
"fusion," and who will under no cir
cumstances vote for such political
demagogues as are now at the head OF
the Republican party in this State.
There are great many honest Re
publicans and Greenbackers in this
State who will not be bought or sold,
and who would rather vote for a
straighout Democrat than a political
huckstering "Fusionist."
Democrats! your old political en-
emies have nothing to lose, but every
thing to gain. They are unscrupu-
lous, active and alert. The National
Administration, the army of office
holders, the National Treasury, are
all combined with the disorganizers
of the State for your political over
throw.
The Radicals are in a minority in
both branches of Congress. They
mean to gain the ascendency again
by fair means or foul. AS the out
look is now, there is all probability
that we will elect our candidate for
the Presidency, and they hope to
cripple his official actions by an OPP
position Congress. The next Legis-
lature will have to elect United
States Senator in the place of Sena-
tor Hereford, and one Senator goes
very far in body where both polit-
ical parties are very near equally bal
anced.
You see, Democrats, how import
ant it is thaG the next Legislature of
this State should have strong Dem
ocratic majority. For the reason we
impressed upon you in the outset of
this article, and also for the reason
we have just stated, it must be clear
to you now why it is that the Radio
ais, not only of this State, but all
over the country, are taking so much
interest, just now,in trying to wrench
