We learn that the Republicans,
having in view the election of a
county ticket composed of moth
ing but the faithful" at the No
vember election, are beginning to
work up their chances among the
voters and solicit the support OF
Democrats, just as they did last
year. Yet Democrats pledged
TO support them long before any
nominations were made. But
their little game has been played
we believe, for the last time in
Barbour county. That there will
be a full Democratic ticket in the
field there is no doubt, selected
by the voters, and one which
every Democrat will heartily sup
port.

long as it is allowed to be manu-
featured within the bounds of the
State. There never was such an
awakening upon this subject in
the history of the human race, al
though this question has been agi-
tated for ages. and ages past.
We believe nearly every voter in
Richie county would vote for the
Prohibition Amendment if they
were only allowed the privilege to
do SO.
All candidates in this county are
selid hrohibitionists from Com
missioners to Representatives. So
the people will have no trouble in
selecting persons 70 vote for that
will do good part by them upon
this great question. 1t is hoped
that this gigantic evil win be sup
pressed, never to survive, be buried
never to be resurrected; and the
only way it can be done Is to carry
on to complete victory, the prohi-
bition movement.

Richie County Solid.
Euery Candidate a Prohibitionist

ED. FREEMAN Ritchie county,
we believe is almost solid for Pro-
hibition. Some of the temperance
workers of said county met in the
Upper Lynn Camp school house on
the night of the Both of Septem-
Der and had a booming temper
ance meeting. Leonidas Law was
chosen President and Ishmael S.
Hall, Secretary The meeting was
opened with prayer by William
Merideth. The President of the
meeting made a short speech intro
ducing the Prohibition movement
and opening up the way for others.
The names of those who spoke
were L. c. Snodgrass, J. J. Shuttle
worth, Hon. Casper Johnson, the
Greenback candidate for the House
of Delegates, and Rev. E. J. Tay-
lor, the Democratic candidate for
the same office. Both candidates
declared themselves to be staunch
Prohibitionists and solemnly
pledged themselves if elected to
vote for the Prohibition Amend
ment and do everything in their
power to submit the question to a
vote of the people. Richie has al
ways been a Prohibition county;
not license has been granted for
20 years, yet there is great deal Of
whisky Struggled and sold along
the Railroad, as will be the case as
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-10-04
A "Good" Analogy.

"Aml aohen They heard Il, They acre
Glad and promised HIM Aoaeg."
Marx hill.
Mr.. EDIToR: In nearly every
Sunday School lesson a temperance
thought may be culled. In our
last lesson, Mark Il; Iii, we found
one which we regarded as of con-
siderable force and extremely prac-
tical in its bearings. In the tenth
verse Judas is represented as going
to the Chief Priests for the purpose
Gf he could get his price, $3.50
of betraying the Master into their
hands. Judas may be taken to rep
resent the rum seller and the Chief
Priests the liquor traffic. As the
heartless, covetous Judas Of the
lesson was willing to aud did act
ually sell the Savior for Il stipulat-
eel amount, so the modern rum
seller, for the sake of money is.
willing to sell character, and hap
piness and to sacrifice or cause to
be sacrificed all the great social,
moral and financial interests of the
people. Every modern liquor sell
Ter has the spirit which sold the
Redeelner Of the world.
Verse H. And when they (the
Chief Priests heard it (that Judas.
wanted to sell Jesus,) they were
glad and promised to give him
money"
The foregoing Scripture fairly
represents the course Of J. Hanson
Good and his connection with the
liquor interests of this State during
the last session of the Legislature.
"And when they (the whisky
men Of Wheeling and elsewhere)
heard it chat Good would champi-
on their cause and betray the whole
prohibition movement into their
hands, they we're glad and prom
ised to and did give him money"
We submit to every one posted
on Mr.. Goods course if the analogy
is not pertinent. DELTA.
