The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1884-11-01
AN ADDRESS.
To the Voters of Mcnongalia
County.

graduate you upon the thrice glo-
rious victory we achieved in our
State election on the 18th inst. over
fraud, corruption and misrepresen-
tation by our political adversaries;
against all these, and the many
thousands of dollars sent into our
little Mountain State to buy and
corrupt voters, we not only held
our own, but more than doubled
our majority Of four years ago,
maintaining handsome majority
in both branches of our Legislature
And permit us to remind you that
the only circumstance left to mar
the glory of the oft tried Democ-
racy of Old Monongalia, is the fact
that by our tnaettaay in the county,
together with the frauds, misrepre-
sensations and corrupt means used
by Republicans, they increased
their majority against US in the
county. But fellow Democrats, be
not discouraged, for this advantage
is but temporary, as will be shown,
we doubt not, by the polls on the
eth Of November next. Let us
prove to our adversaries that what
inactivity on our part, and fraud
and Misrepresentation on their part,
have wrongly accomplished, we
can by honest efforts and patriotic
resolves wipe out on the 4th. To
this end fellow Democrats, and
sons of noble sires, let US, anew,
resolve, aided and guided by Him
Who doeth all things well, that
from this hour until the going down
of the sun on the 4th Of Nov. next,
we will each and all do all in our
power to redeem our county from
that gaeat wrong, and not only
regain our former status in the
county, but drive our audacious
adversary to the last ditch. This
we can do if we will undertake it
with that holy and patriotic resolve
that lovers Of freedom and pure
Government are wont to make.
Why shall Old Monongalia falter
or drag in the rear Of her sister
counties in their thrice sancti6ed
effort to not only place our State
in the path Of economy, virtue and
renown, but in the still higher and
holier effort to "turn the rascals
out" and thus reform and purify
our great national Government.
Why shall we not double our late
majority in this State at the ballot
box on the 4th Of November We
can do it if we will let us as free
men, in Heavens high name, re-
solve to do it and it will be done.
Our State victory is fact accom-
plished, let us march on to con-
summate our national victory on
the 4th. The skies are bright, the
stars are smiling upon us and fight
ing our battles for us, because our
principles are planted on right,
purity and justice. Nothing can
mar or cast doubt on our cause Of
assured national victory on the 4th,
save our own apathy and inactivity.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" The battle is nearly won
State after State has repudiated the
corruptions ofthe Republican party,
and with it the party itself until
we now have Democratic Govern.

efforts by turning the rascals out
and placing at the head of this
great people, great, good and pure
man, Gyvvey C2eveAand, whose
whole public life bears uncontro-
dicted proof of his integrity and
trust.worthiness, and whose motto
is Tell the Truth" as sure as
day succeeds night, if we do our
duty faithfully and theoretically.
Will we do it3 Yes, we will. To
this end a Democratic mass meeting
will be held at Blacksmith in this
county on Saturday the Ist and at
Morgantown, on Monday the sd
of November, at both of which
places able speakers from abroad,
will address the people. Let us
then invite and urge every Demo
crat in this, and adjoining counties,
to attend each of said meetings,
and now resolve to let nothing but
impossibilities stand in the way oil
SO doing, and bring with you your
sons, your daughters and your
wives, and your Republican neigh.

come in power, come as freemen
and as patriots, and the seeker Of
pure and honest hearts will be with
you. And once more let every
voter come to the polls on the 4th
and vote early and late, and see to
it, that none but honest votes are
cast, and the sun of that day will
set in glory upon millions Of glad
hearts, whose thanks will rend the
skies with the thrice glorious song,
