Presents His Compliments to
Republicans.
Live Letter from Hon. T. r. Car

RADICAL HILL, KEYsER, W. VA, |

ED. FREEMAN:
For inclo5ed stamps please send
extra FREEMANs Of July 18th. l
find it especially valuable, and
have cut my copy all to shreds get
ting, for my campaign scrap-book,
such pointed articles as "a Good
Illustration" Baltimore Ministers
in Line" Second Party. in Ala
bama," John banners "Who are
Non-partisan p, DR.. Warmers pun
gent remark that LOCALIZED saloons
are Estate Slaughter-houses," and
"They that vote for them put in
their consciences as capital. "&c. &c.
When | had clipped out all these
and more, | found my Freeman
nearly as ragged and demoralized
in appearance as must be the con-
sciences of the old liquor parties in
fact. So please send me some whole
copies,
| was delighted to see and read
the Calls" for Richie and Mason
counties and 10 learn that Lewis
county is moving. You will ere
long hear from the Eastern Pan
Handle too
"They are coming, Father Abra-
ham, 300, 900 more" and then some !
No wonder that leading liquor Or
gan, The Champion, cries out,
"T'he8o e0jld devils of fanatics mean,
business every tinae-They don't load
aujh blank cartridges"
And that they don't, for sure!
When they sing, as does our
grand Richards Choir, of Wheeling,
"Which aoay IS yoeIr musket q pintsn'
today" let everybody take note
that she's loaded to the muzz9e-and
no non-partisan tow-wads in her,
either. And somebody's going to
get hurt, the very first thing they
know, The Northwest cries to liquor
mon in sheer desperation, "In Gods
name, [better stick to their own
father, the DeviD Gentlemen, will
you heed our warning cries, "organ-
ize, organize, ORGANIZER And
again, The Southwest, the Cincinnati
liquor organ, foretold how the burt
was coming when it saw the hand
writing on the wall and declared,
at the time, that the St. John vote
Of 1884 was "the Sumpter gun Of
this mighty conflict"
That Sumpter gun didn't "put
the cause back" many years, did
it2 BoufoTt'8 Vine and SPIRIT Or
cellar of June 10th doesn't think
SO; for it says, "Prohibition is
becoming stronger every day, and
at its present rate of progress, it
will control the Union in a few
years" And in the same connection
it cries out with the rest of the
Alcoholic Clan, "Organize for de-
fen8e, Liquor Hen, or you are wa-
doneW
I do really enjoy this great,
inspiring conflict, which that grand
Christian lem perance orator, Mrs.
Lathrap, calls An Organized
Racket" For it is becoming a
glorious racket when it makes the
knees Of these rum-devotees smite
together like old Belshazzar's. If
our enemies are thus demoralized
before our skirmish lines, what an
awful rout must be theirs, when
with solid phalanx we soon shall
charge them all along the lines.
To Bro Middleton's and Bro Myers
pointed articles on the great value
of early and perfect organization, l
will simply add hearty Amen!
CIRCULATE THE FREEMAN.
Another most important matter
at this time is to secure q much
wider circulation Of The FREEMAN,
as a means Of communication be-
tween our battalions, and as q
helper to stir up all our minds by
way Of remembrance, All active
