no KICKERs AT GRAFTON
All tho Old Time Republicans and Many
Democrats solid for Elaine and Lo-

Ing over the land. Desiring to satisfy nv.
sell Of the correctness Of these runlors, I cal
lied forth this morning with interviswer't
prod In hand determined to puncture such
Democratic roorbacks. The first alleged
kicker ! met was s. P. Mccormick, ESQ.,,
one oi, our staunChest and most reliable
Republicans, and who, although a man 'oI
pronounced convictions, possesses none oi
the elements OF q chronic kicker. x ,s,tit
M"Akickei?" replied Mac. TO my inquiry,
" neyGr learned the trade and do not pro.
pose 10 begin now: shall give Blaine my
hearty and enthusiastic support. I have
always been q Blaine man up to this year,
In 1876 gave him as enthusiastic support
as could command, and oven voted in
favor Of instructipg for him In our State
Convention. .tIn 1880 Twas a member Of
the National Convention that nominated
Garfield. ! voted for Blaine along with the
balance OF our delegation, up to the break
to Garfield. This year l had no lees Of
psssonal admiration for Blaine, but the
question with me was, Is he as strong a
man. "a soma nthera in thoss S,atea that are
deeirable, and. perhaps necessary to carry
to electour man? Believing that he might
not bees strong, i gave my personal pref.
erencet to another candidate. But all that
is passed. The Convention thought other.
wiae, and gave Mr. Blaine fair and en-
phatic nomination, and It is the duty OF
every good Republican to buckle on ths
armor and 20 into the fight. e. Gss.1 ~ !;

eyes, I belieYe Blaine will be elected.
His candidacy has touched apopular chord
that will prove. irresistible. I recognizes in
his nomination an act that comes directly
from the great thinking masses and they
are not golrg to permit him 10 be beaten.
mo, l do not believe that it is impossi,
Bile 10 carry West Virginia; 1t is not only
possible but probable. But it cannot be
accomplished by inaction or too great de.
pendence upon the enthusiasm begotten
by our popular candidates. 1t can only be
done BY thorough organization and con.
stant, svlgilsnt work. West Virginia { Is
ss thoroughly moored to the old Whip
doctrine OF protection to-day as she tway
thirty years ago, and when we outliye and
wearc fl the antagonisms Of, the war, she
will again assert nor old.time convictions.
She is bound to get back into the protec-
tion pasture, and that very soon, and when
she comes she will come 10 stay. 81

Mr.. james H. Holt, Of the Eagle, and
Gen. 6. w. Brown were two other promi.
nent Republicans mentioned BY these
Democratic soothsayers as "groWlers'' and
"kickers" against Blsine. Upon interview.
ing those' gentlemen found them both
hearty supporters Of the entire ticket. No
matter what candidates they may have pre-.
terred before the convention, their prefer.
ences are the ticket and the whole ticket.
