ho became wild und boistcroils in Ills
declarations, claiming that the Democrats
had managed the State ut %%'l percent less
than tho Republicans did when in power.
One i OF his wild declarations was that
when the Democracy came into power
they found that the Republicans had rob.
bed the School Fund Of Su0 900, and that
the amount to this day could not be nc.
counted for except $4,000, which had
gone into the pockets OF the "thieyinc dc.
iaultilig radical shcriils OF this Stutc." ",
Ills excuse for the Democrats using
tho school fund was that tho Slutc was In

the State Capitol and improving the Ilos.

II, Sec. !, OF tho Constitution, authorized
the Governor to borrow from the school
fund to meet It deficiency in the revenue,

prohibit the State from going into debt,

the Legislature to levy a tax sufficient to
meet the deficit. a hrs

| Maxwell and3W. IT. II. Flick were abused
most shamciully. His abuse Of Flick here
ut his home, where he is loved and respect.
ed, was not only not well timed, but was
downright impu,lcncc, brazcn aulacity
and pre.umptive ignorance, N ,EG
WHY he is NAN,
After carefully listening to shis arraien-
ment Of Flick, the only intelligent con-
clusion that cun be drawn from his speech
is that he is mad because Flick, while in
the Legislature in 1869, voted to keep a
Democrat from Jefferson county in the
seat that "Cyclorc" Wilson wanted, and
TO which he was not elected. He claimed
that the men who ml,lc tho Republican
platform woro lying faisl1ers or TOO ignor-
ant 10 make 4 platform OF principles, men
who are not lit to be trusted with power in
| this State. ~,
The speech, OF more than two hours du-
ration, was nothing more than an ap-
peal to the passions cngcndercdS during
the war. 10 Gull it waving the "bloody
shirt" does not express it. II there were
Republicans In Berkeley who did not in
tend 10 vote for Maxwell there. are none
now. The Republicans are {cnraged and
indignant, and consider that Mr.. Wilson's
speech is an insult TO the intelligent peo-
pie OF this county. Ye godst what n
contrast between the .cntlclnanly scholar
+. boyd Faulkner and the man who as
pircs to be the governor OF the people OF
this State. Shades OF Patrick Henry and
Governor Wise look down upon the pco-
pie OF the daughter OF old Virginia. Tell
us, are we to be governed for four years by
q man whose craftsmanship cannot aspire
above v,Ilitication and abuse OF men who
for years have been living honorable and
upright lives. sE'' }sa,.s'' t.4s e. ~ ~
AT the close OF Mr.. Wilson'S speech
(haralisuc), cx-GovernorW.T. Hamilton,
OF, Maryland, was introduced. He dweIt
almost solely upon national issues, warm
ing tho people OF this State that the eyes
OF the Democracy Of the whole union were
upon them, claimin. that II "S0lid South"
with New York and "Ingyannie" would
elect Cleveland. But gentlemen, should
West Virginia be lost he would be de-
feCtcd without carrying other Northern
States, to make up for tbs loss. Governor
Hamilton spoke for over two hours, max
ing y strong effort to hold the Democracy
OF Berkeley in line. ~.
r AT eight o'clock Mt night the Cleveland
and hendricks Club, headed by the
AlartinsLurg City Band, marched through
the principal streets. They were orderly
and well behaved which is characteristic
OF our people. Over one hundred burn
ing torches made quite a handsome display
OIL the streets. The Democrats have cause
10 feel proud OF their club and the manner
in which they behaved while marching TO
the beautiful strains OF music BY the new
city band. i.G. 5.t,t ~ IN
