EDITOR ADvANcE:-I see by the
posters that Mr. Hogg. the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress, is to
speak in Ceredo, Thursday.
Where Mr.. Hogg is known it is un-
necessary TO say anything common.
datory ofhim. AS young man he
is perhaps the most brilliant of any
in this section of the State. He has
fought the battle Of life against ma
ny adverse circumstances; he is n
self made man, and owing to his
honesty, energy and integrity, he
has raised himself TO be one Of the
leaders of his party. There are
many things to commend him IA
vorably to- the people. He is a
young man and has a future before
him, and everything else being equal,
the smiles of politics should be
showered upon young men; they
should not only have encourage.
ment, but experience, for upon them
ultimately must fall the burdens OF
government. There seems to be a
united effort all over the district to
give Mr.. Hogg an earnest support,
and give him such a majority that
the Republicans will not have even
fighting chance in the district
hereafter. To Democrats l desire
to say this: In the memory Of
most of you the time was when you
could not vote, nor hold Office in
your own county. You were sub.
jected to insults and heavy taxes,
and you were denied the benefit Of
the courts; even your mothers, wives
and sisters, who had spoken n kind
word, or bathed the feyerish brow
af her dying boy, or babe her hus-
band God-speed, were nor permit
ted to teach school. You can all
remember how you were complete
ly cutoff from any participation in
the government or any protection
under it; how you were silent aliens
on your own soil, and during those
dark times, when it was almost
worth a mans life to speak of his
wrongs, there was man in this
State who held posts of honor and
trust and was placed in positions
where his voice could be heard,
and on every occasion, at avery OPP.

power that was in him, that the
shackles that were on the Confcd-
crates be riveted there forever; he
wanted the chains that held them
down to be strengthened and their
weight increased and piled upon
the helpless men that happened to

always ready, forging new manaclcs
and depressing his fellow man.
Gentlemen, that mans name was
John a. Hutchinson; that man a
few years ago stood up III public
places and called you all the vile,
mean things that he could lay his
venomous tongue to. That same
man comes around now and actual-
ly has the cheek and hypocrisy to
ask you to vote for him Oh. how
he has changed, when he gets into
strong Democratic county like
Wayne! He is now as smooth.

as ever "cut throat or scuttlcd a
ship" Can you forget these things
so soon and now lick the hand that
smote you? Would you help put
back into power the man that did
all he could TO crush you when he
was in power!
And to Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike ! would say this: That
the principal thing our Congress
man can do is on the River ard
Harbor committee. If Mr.. Hogg
is elected he will be placed there; If
Mr.. Hutchinson is elected he will
not be placed there. And then do

his ability to abuse and invent new

And then, too, Hogg will be

To Democrats and Republicans:
all come out and hear Mr.. Hogg,
Thursday, and he will tell you Of
the principles that he advocates.
