To he Editor Of Hs Regis!er:
WELLsBURG, October 23.-As a tru
American citizen, a Republican t~A prm-
ciple j deem il my mcere duty to say a
is. ttfhIgS about the present political cam
paign that is being waged in our State,
and which shall terminate Oh next Tues
day, November !. As an honest Republi-
can, l dispise the pernicious methods Of
General GOff in this or the former cam
paigns. He does not believe i'll an hon
est election, but believes in obtaining
votes through Doodle. He has left about
$500 in this tOwn to be used on election
day. He talks temperance to temperance
people, hut what does his henchmen in
this section do? They debauch voters
with doodle and free whisky. Is q man
that tries to elect himSelfby the lavish
use of money a fit a to send to Con-
gress? l answer no. Such II man as this
has no love for his constituents, but is the
favored friend oil m~OnOp0lieS. What has
his past career been in Congress? He has
done nothing whatever for the district he
represents. He has only been q dead
head. What does this millionaire care for
the working man? Has he ever used his
wealth in d~evelopin. the State, such rs
building railroads and given employment
to the laborins man? | answer IL {. But
he has his wealth in Government bonds.
But let us as honest men support the
party that are trying to build up the
State. By these l mean, such men
rs ex-senator Davis, or Senator Cam
den who use their wealth in building up
the State and giving employment to thous-
ands of their fellow citizens. But if they
were like the naughty GOtf, our State
would be i'll the same condition as 1t was
24 years ago. But Doodle Golf came
around wanting the labOring mems vote,
when at the same time he has done
nothing for the State or the laboTlng man.
Take from him his inherited thousands
and You strip him of all his honor. He
is around crying tariff, while ut the same
time he would place wool on the free
list. Let US all in the coming contest sup
port that honest acting friend of working
men of irreproachable character and not
Doodle Cot, who is going around trying
to deceive the people and who is depend
ing on his money to send him to Congress,
and in conclusion let every Democrat turn
out OF next Tuesday IN this District,
from the beautiful and fertile county of
Hancock, to the billy and loyal county of
old Wetzel. See that every vote is brought
to the polls next Tuesday, not only in
this District but throughout the State.
Democrats be active and vigi.ant until the
close of the polls and it viii be a famous
victory. And Doodle Goff, his corrupt
gang shall he baniShed to the shades Of
oblivion, never again to be heard of. In
Congress, give me BrannOu for Congress,
and ex-senator II. G.. Davis for the
United States Senate; a man who has the
interests Of his State at heart; and as the
mighty avalanch Of Switzerland suddenly
sweeps down upon the inhabitants of the
valleys, destroying hundreds of human
lives. so l sincerely hope that q vast ma
iority of the district viii sit down on
Doodle Gof Let US all rocolieet the motto
Of our State: Mountaineers are freemen.
and u suffrages can not be bought with
the Doodle OF the golden calf. As q Re
publidan Intend to give Judge Banuon
my support, as / take no stock in COTS
Doodle and his Doodle gang.
Yours Truly,
A REPUBLICAN.
