Well. then. try your hand on DuNal."
Alnight at his gate,
Impluring they wait,
But the obduratc Prime SlumberS OH
For while They're imploring,
He smiles while he's snoring
Don't wake him-"dOd rot it,
The trick, he has got IL,
And he dreams that the jack pot Is won.
-USt=i Democrat
Gen. Golf is 4 rich man; so is Senator
Camden. Camden uses his money to bulld
railroads and develop the State and gets
abuse for it. Golf does nothing ofthe kind
and gets praise for it. These are bottom
facts YOU can't deny.-Uet7el Democrat.

Says the Martinsburg Statesman Of the
Republican private" circular: ''The
most pathetic part of the miSSive occurs,
however in this paragraph: 'Weappeai

able to contribute, promising you u faith

think that aBy one is so unsophistlcated

money will be faithfully expended, but
when, where and how will not 5 readily

over, and the RepublicanSiin find themselves,
not only with their coats of, but then
brcrches not patched. Come to the rescue,

The Republican press appears hetermln,
ed To force an issue between Camden and
GuG. 1t is 80 in love with its golden
calf that it imagines it can win Democrats
to his worship by u liberal abuse OF Cam
den. Cot, born of wealthy parents,
named for u wealthy uncle and married to
a wealthy wife has wealth thrust upon
him. On the other hand, Camden has be
come wealthy by his own Shrewd business
virtues. Cot, always the plant tool OF
mOnOpOlies, is a monopoly in himself; mo-
nOpOlizing the whole admiration of the
greatest of all wOuld-be ~mOnOpolieS, the
Republican party. Strip him..of the wealth
not of his own accumulation, and he
would become u very insignificant factor

Romeo Freer-brilliant but erratic. -CirGt-

The FairmOnt Micr discusses Mr.. SEQ
fields private" circular TO Republicans in
this wise: The circular tells us that the
Congressional candidates will have to fur
niSh their own funds and look out for
themselves, while the money collected will
all DC expended upon 4 a few close but
financially weak districts This is very
gratifying information, rs the persons who
most need money are those who are finan-
cially weak Thus will times grow bet
ter. Still, this portion of the scheme, per-
hapS, looks not o much to the interest OF
the financially strong The plan, rs out
lined in the circular, seems to abandon the
Congressional candidates To their fate, and
asks that all efforts and the funds be eX-
pended TO secure a Republican majority in
the Legislature that will satisfy the ambi-
ton of General GOffby electing him to the
United States Senate. As the result of his
u~surious practices Golf is financially
