The De1ocTat desires a word with
those Democrats who hold, or claim
to hold, executive positions in the
party and to those who are called
or pose as leaders. 1t would call
their attention the fact in but ten
short months a,battIe at the polls
will be fought in this State which
is going to be waged with more
fierccness and for all there is in it
by the Republican party than has
been for some time past. 1t would
request them to ever hold in .mem-
ory green that the State is practi-
cally without Democratic organiza-
ton, that is local organization, and
this they must know is particularly
necessary for success. 1t would
suggest to them, that like the 'sfree
trade" cry in national politics, tho
faction yelpp is being hurled at
Democracy and this must be disa.
bused. 1t would plainly tell them
that the voters this time will do
their own voting, and. that any
holding back for personal gain, or
gain for emy friends fricnd,' by
manipulations under cover, won't
do. In other words, it is confident
of Democratic victory upon Dem
ocratic principles and record, if the
proper organization is effected and
the people enthused, and sour
friends, the enemy, carefully watch
ed and checkmated from now until
November.-Kanapha Democrat.
1t isabout time for the Democracy
to wake up to the fact that they have
some work to do in this State next
fall. The Republicans have given
out that they intend to make West
Virginia the battle ground and
capture it, if possible We are in
no way alarmed, but simply desire
to let the party know what it has
to do. The organization of Blaine
and Golf Republican clubs in the
State, while ostensibly to give Gen
eral Golf boom for Vice President,
is still nothing less than the organ
ization of the Republican party
preparatory to the coming contest.
The leaders of the Democracy and
those Interested in matters OF this
kind, should take note of this move
ment and act accordingly.-Fuir-
mont Inder.
General Golf has no earthly chance
of getting the second place on the
National Republican ticket. He
isn't bigym man outside the limits OF
West Virginia, and will have to
take a back seat here if the Repub-
lieans ever get control of the State.
He owes his seat in Congress 10
Democratic blunders and not to his
own popularity. But if the Repub-
licans desire his nomination as Vice
President let us hope they may
succeed in getting him on the ticket.
1t would be entirely satisfactory to
every body else. In that event the
Waterloo that followed the natty
little Generals campaign in 1876
would be small affair in history
compared to the awful larrupping
of 1888. By all means give us
Blaine and Gotf.-Fdirm0nt Inder
The Republicans are now organ,
izing clubs throughout the State
and the Democrats should do like.
wise. A Democratic club should be
organized at once in every district
in the county. The Republicans
well know this is to be their las
fight and they are going to make {
desperate one. We should meet the
enemy with solid, unbroken front
and make our victory complete by
burying them beneath a tremendoul
majority. We can do it if we only

Many of our Democratic ex
changes are mentioning candidate
for Governor, and feeling the public
pulse on the subject. The Ne,os i
decidedly of the opinion that Hamp
shire county is entitled to the Gov
ernorship this time. She is tn
stronghold of Democracy and ha
been given fewer public offices o
late years than any other county il
the State. She has good materia
to select from, and we say give i
