legal jurisdiction OF Democratic papers to
rall Republican committees to account for
their management OF the campaign, but rs
yoll appear to concctle to them tho right
wish 10 refer them AMI YOU to the follow,
ing facts and figures:
The Democratic majority for Hancock in
this district, was 2,740. Jacksons majority
ior Governor was still larger. The most
saneuine Republicans had no hopes OF
rltcln= their candidate unless we should
receive the support OF ut leas: Il portion OF
the tifeenhack vote.
The 'irrenbackcs insisted OIL supporting
their own candidate, and the result was
that Gibson WAS elected by about LOO
majority, which wasa reduction from their
regular majority Of over 1000. Cabell
r0uniy gave Jackson C05 majority. 1t gave
'iihsOn only 90; majority. Lincoln county

@l EOane gave Jackson 700 and Gibson
only 30. Wayne gave Jackson ,16l and

majority, making ii Republican gain OF ass
Nearly every county in the district shows
heavy reductions in the DemOcmtic major.
tiles simply mention those above us Il
fair sample Of what the effect was Of bad
management OF that important committee,
and wish to call your attention TO the facl
that another batch Of just such mismanagc.

aware that these figures :trc not very suits
factory food ior Democratic reflection, and
that they do not have Il consoing inluencv
on the Democratic future. They do moi
snlt the S1dinrl, the Commercial and the
Nt~t, but it can't be helped. The result
shows beyond dispute that the Kepubli
cans Of this district made grand fight, and
il the Democratic papers are not satisfied,
win it we will be prepared to give them d
larger dose next time. OBSERVER.
