RowLEsBURG, W. VA, August Z.
To TIE Editor o. ne Register:
SIR: The approaching contest for guber-
material honors has already developed in
tense interest among Democrats through
out the State. 10 this connection we see
prominently mentioned the names OF
Henry G. Davis, Judge Fleming and Judge
James Morrow, Jr. TS the eastern section
Of the State the name of Henry q. Davis
sounds of strength and suceeca Farther
to the west is received with highest appro-
baton the name of Judge Fleming. But
to the whole State, circumsCribed by no
sectional limitations, the name Of Judge
James Morrow will be received and hailed
with proud delight, combining all the ele-
ments requisite to the ultimate triumph
OF the party and the reform sought to be
introduced. With scholarly attainments
of the most elevated character, supple
mented by the gracefulness and eloquence
Of the orator and the passiveness
OF one " o"oJ
the masses by the clearness and
force of his arguments, the name OF
Judge Morrow, we acknowledge, as in
every respect equal to the issue which we
are 10 contest. Allied to no factions; un-
compromising in his adherence TO every
thing savoring of ''Simon pure" Democ-
racy: aggressive in forcing issues to
elimination: Mr.. Morrow is most hitting
representative of the entire Democracy Of
West Virginia. To the strength which
individual merit will add to his politics,
we also hear from Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Fleming statements declining the honor to
be disposed OF, and in terms which seem
to leave the State clear for Mr.. Morrow.
Ae one viewing the situation quietly and
dispassiOnately, submit to tbs delegates
to the State Convention this impression OF
the situation.

One of the Democratic party's ia
vorite modes of attempting to impose
upon uniformed voters is to assert
that our present tariff is "war" tar
iff.and that the republicans never have
consented and never will consent to
change it. How false such assertions
are the Nashua On. H. Telegraph very
neatly shows in this compact state
ment of some of the tariff changes for
which the republican party is rsponsi-
BILE.
The Republican party reduced the
duty on steel rails from $28 to ST..
The Republican party abolished the
duty on coffee.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on tea
The Republican party abolished the
duty on hides.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on camphor.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on indigo.
The Republican party abolished t. !.
duty on maccaroni.
The Republican party :.bolishe1 the

The Republican party put Sage on

The Republican party put shellac

The Republican party put raw silk
on the free list.
The republican party put tin bars
on the free list.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on anthracite coal and reduced
the duty on bit lminous from 1.25 to

These are some of the things which

Why, my countrymen, somebody
must care for these veterans who
stood up amid shot and shell and
sabre stroke, but cannot now trace
their intirmities to the army services
by any satisfactory proof. They
have fought manfully since. They
are dependent on their work for a liv-
ing and they cannot work. Somebody
must take care of them; the expense
cannot be avoided unless you kick
the old veterans out and let them die
on the roadside. Somebody must
care for them and the question is,
shall they be cared for as paupers in
the county poor-houses, or shall the
great nation they served and saved
care for them as soldiers? I prefer
the latter. I want to maintain that
mans memory of the fact that he
was solder; want the generations
coming on to know that it is safe to
abandon civil pursuits, throw wealth
behind you and yourself into the
bloody conflict of the nations life;
that republics are grateful, and that
its soldiers shall be taken care Of
