THE CAUSES RIGHT AT HOME.

1t is a waste of time for Republicans
or Democrats to be going far out of
the way in quest of the causes that
are leading West Virginia into the
Republican column. 1t is not fraud
or corruption or factional bitterness.
Lack of leadership is loss of votes.
Names alone do not make statesmen.
West Virginia is not so much of a
Mountain State but that the intelli-
gence of the age has penetrated every
corner. Labor, capital, intelligence,
are fellow travellers. They are fellow
voters, too, and workers. Persuasion
of reason controls them. A Demo-
cratic press given to preaching party
at any peril, opposition and no quar-
ter, claiming credit itself for every
thing good, and charging its opponents
with everything bad, gains no votes
and fails to hold its own, because the
new generation is not moved by the
same lever that moved the generation
passing away. The spirit of the age
is infectious. There is no driving it,
no binding it ;-liberality, indepen-
dence and Intelligence are its only
leaders. The party and its speakers
WIN appear W Tic OutWdIu vi IHNdiu
passions of men, pleading only for
party allegiance, confessing ignorance
of, or indifference to, public questions,
gain but ill-favor with the triune god
of political victory. If men would
desire to vote with that party they
could not, and if they could they
would not. The inducements are
wanting,-the persuasive and adhe-
sive powers that attract men are not
there. Desperate tactics bring home
desperate results. All eyes are
upon West Virginia and the South
now. The Republican ship of State
may not have smooth sailing; but if
it respects its miporities as well as its
majorities, and makes the destiny of
all the people its own, time will deal
leniently with Republicanism where
before its trials. were as great as its
enemies were numerous.

And the colder winter weather are now
rapidly approaching. The joyful season
is eagerly anticipated by young folks in

there are one or more older ones to
whom the cold waves and the storms
mean renewed suffering from rheumatic
back or limbs. 1t is not claimed that
Hood 8 Sarsaparilla is positive specific

or can be such a remedy. But the re-
markable success Hood s Sarsaparilla
has had in curing this affection is suffi-
Gent reason for those who are suffering
