ment, and 10 lesson the burdensim-
posed upon them by the party now
in power, it is necessary that we
continue active and yigilant from
now until the close Of the election
on November fourth next We
would remind you that ii is the
most important election in which
tie whole people Of the United
States were ever called upohto par.

inees, and will resort toany and all
means 10 accomplish that result.
Let us not bs found sleeping at The
post Of duty. We haze Ms totss to
defeat them. The only question is
whether or not the voters will be
at the polls on the day Of the elec.
tion, That no doubt shall exist as
tothis most important matter let
every voter see to II that his neigh.
bOrs are there. Let each voter
make this his especial business on
election day. Giss that one day 10
goar country The six electoral
votes Of West Virginia may and
probably will decide the election
for president and vice president.
The contest will be close, and the
result in this State may be as i'm.
pSrtant and decisive as that ia the
great State Of New York. Do not
be oyerconfdent, or be dsluded
into the belief that it is not nsces.
sary that you attend the election,
and that this State will be surely
democratic without your vote; We
need your vote, yourinaueuce, and
above all your best effort. There
are nearly seven hundred voting
places in the State. II only a few
Of our voters in each voting pre-,
cincs stay at home on election day,
our majority may be entirely swept
away, aud the loss Of the 6 6electoral
votes Of West Virginia may bring
defeat 10 the democratic national
ticket.
Weagain warn you that onr en-.
emies will resort 10 every device.
Especially win they endeayor to
induce democrats and independent
voters 70 stay away from the polls,
and will spare neither effort or
money in that direction. They
we'll know that a full tole means a
democratic victory, and a sldy al
home vOte means Republican victory.
Rely upon II that hey will be ut
the polls whatever their professions
or promises may be. Do not then
be misled OF deceived BY them.
We desire 10 impress upon you
the further fact that II is Of the ut.
most importance that we elect our
candidates for congress. With
proper effort West Virginia can
and will return an entire Demo.
cratic Congressional delegation.
The electionjust closed proves that
fact. Remember that 10 order 10
secure such legislation as khe nanaa.
