AN ADDRESS
TO THE VOTERS OF WEST V

TIE fight for control Of the State
Government in the State Of West
Virginia is ended. The smoke OF
October battle is cleared away. The
result Is, that the gallent Democracy
Of West Virginia has carried uur
little Mountain State by about Eve
thousand majority IAN increase OF
aboue two thousand in the Dem
ocrstic majority over the combined
vote OF the two opposing parties IN
1880. Tbs gratifying result secures
to us an honest State Government
under Democratic administration for
another term Of four years
We heartily congratulate the
Democratic Yoteru Ct the State over
the ma nifcent victorv-a victory
which presages still more imrrot =
ant and glorious one in November
next. Yet we must not indulge in
a feeling OF security after this
gratifying result of great strug-
gle. Our recent experience proves
to US that a still greater contest
now lies Immediately before us.
In the impending struggle Tor Ma
tional supremacy a muth more irn-
portrait battle is to be fought-one
that will be contested even more
holly than the last. Therefore We
desire to call the attention of the
Democratic, conservative AMI indie
pendent voters Of this State 10 the
important fact that. in order to se-
cure to the people Of the United
states an economical, pure and
wise administration OF their Fed
eral Government. aud to lessen the
burdens imposed upon them by the
party now in power, it is necessary
that we continue active and vigilant
from now until the close OF the
election on November fourth next.
We would remind You that it is the
most important election In which
the whole people OF the United
States were ever called upon to
participate. Our opponents will
nee svry device, and spare no effort
or expenditure of time and money
to compass our defeat. They con-
hden'ly claim the electoral vote OF
this State for the Republican nom
insee, and will resort 10 any and all
means 10 accomplish that result.
Let as not be found sleeping at the
post Of duty. We haze the vo'eg TO
defeat them. The only question is
whether or not the voteas will be
at the polIs on the day Of the cleo
tiop. That no doubt shall exist az
to this most important matter, let
every voter see to it that bis neigh
bors are there. Let each voter
make this his especial business on
election day. Give lhat one doy 10

votes Of West Virginia my and prob
ably will decide the election for
precedent and vice president. The
conttst will be close, aud the result

and decisive as that in the great
State Of New York. Do pot be over
