WHENEVER you get hold of gospel
truth don't hesitate to preach it. We
would impress upon the minds of the
farmers and tax payers generally the
necessity of lower taxes in this county.
Can you understand why we should pay
higher taxes in this county than any
other county in the State We can't
expect the Journal TO assist us in this
crusade against high taxes. 1t is the
special champion of high taxes, but il
fails to specify wherein we, as tax pay
ers, are benefited by high taxes. A
long pull, and pull altogether and we
will bring the advocates of high taxes
to their senses.

crs believe. The Democratic party has
honored them because they are worthy
of honor. They are not crying fer
protection in order TO rob the poor.
1t is not to be supposed that you
would like Secretary Whitney, for it
was he who exposed the rascality of
John Roach. Any Democrat who has
been instrumental in exposing the rob-
berry Of Republican administrations can
not expect to receive laudation at the
hands of Republican Office holders and
Office seekers.
Bring on another collision with few
stubborn facts, and consult your nasal
barometer and see if the weather is
clear.

THE first evidence of weakness Is to
see candidates writing letters of denial.

VIZ THREW out gentle hint last
week to our Republican friends to keep
cool. They have ignored it, and Nc
Cormick and Morley are warming up
to 1900 in the shade. The fight is
waxing warm between them, and the
present indications arc that Morley will
slug Mack to the tune of 1000 major
ity. We must ignore Shakespeare and
repeat: What are the wild waves
saying, brother Mack?

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican platform is a square
tocd declaration in favor of trusts, mo-
nopolies and free whisky, while they
favor taxing the nccessaries of life.
They would give tho poor man plenty
of free whisky--tho thing he don't
want--and would tax him on the nee
essaries of life, that monopoly might
flourish life green bay tree.
The country now kows exactly where
the Republicans stand. There can be
no installing the issue of the campaign.
We can go before the country on that
issue and beat the Republicans out of
their boots. You will have to fight,
Mr.. Voter, under the banner of trusts,
monopoly and free whisky, or under
the banner Of tariff reform. Take your
choice.

BOSSISNI.

1t is expected that Democrats will
raise the cry of "boss" against Mr..
Dawson, or any other man who hap
pens to occupy his position, in order to
create dissatisfaction in the Republican
party. The charge of "boss, if made
by any Republican, always comes from
one who has run for Office and been
defeated. Journal
Lee Shaw nor II. NJ. Huffman shall
never hold an Office in Preston county
while | can weld pen.-[Wm. NJ. o.
Dawson.
And the allegation is not without
proof, dear Journal This charge is
not made against Mr.. Dawson, the pri-
vate citizen, but Mr.. Dawson, the poll
itician. If Mr.. Dawson can WELD the
trenchant pen with sufficient force to
prevent the election of Messrs. Shaw
and Huffman, he must be an extraor-
binary boss. Why single out Lee
Shaw and Frank Huffman for ostracism =?
They were both brave soldiers and have
always supported the Republican party.
MIR. Huffman is not candidate this
year, so we learn from the Journal.
MIR. Shaw is. IF Shaw is defeated for
the sherifTalty will the Journal claim
the credit for said defeat? Mr.. Shaw
is not the candidate of the Argus. We
shall support good Democrat for
sheriff, and with proper organization
VIC expect to elect him.
No equivocation, dear Journal come
out with square denial if you did not
say you would defeat Shaw and Huff
man for Office in Preston county.

McCORMICK VS.. DAWSON

We sympathize with Brother McCor-
mick. We admire his fighting quail
ties and his courage in coming into the
banner county and boarding the lion in
his den. The real fight is between
Mccormick and Dawson. The ffer
boy is struggling bard for the boss
ship. He is too astute n politician to
not know that defeat means pack thy
grip and HE myself to the mountains
Of Upshur county" lie will fight to
the bitter end and, like the old Guard
never surrender. But he will have to
submit to the fat after Saturday. He
can not help fighting. Tie has been
kicked and cuffed around by the Re-
publican party 80 much that his fight
ing is caused by intuition.
We know that Mack is beaten, and
in the language Of one Of his enthusi
astic supporters, Mccormick defeat
means ten years more Of Dawson Boss

York. He says there are 7 900 labor
ing men in his district and that they
have sent him a notification, prepared
by their local associations, heartily APP
proving Of his course and urging him
to vote for the Mills bill. 1t is evil
dent the laboring men of New York
are not scared by the Republican cry
of free trade. They know the differ
ence between high protective tariff,
which is in. the interest Of the manu-
facturer, and tariff reduction, which is
for the benefit Of the laboring man.

THE Republican convention at Chi
cago was turned into bowling, fight
ing mob. Reyolvers and chairs were
the implements of warfare. Billy Ma
hone and Johnny Wise led the bellig-
erents. The fight was carried on for
nearly week, and more than one man
carries a sore head from his introduce
tion to a chair in the hands Of his stall
wart antagonist. The police had to be
called in TO quell them. Just think OF
it, gentle reader a party who claims
to be the embodiment of all that is
good and pure-a party that boasts of
its morality and goody-goodiness !
Fighting like demons, all on account
of Grover Cleveland Yes, Grover
Cleveland In their desperation to
find man who can beat the man of
destiny, they indulge in a Kilkenny
cat fight and denounce one another as
anything but gentlemen. They know
the American people have stamped
their seal of condemnation upon them
They are in the last agony of death,
and on the 9th day of November the
funeral will be conducted with all the
solemnity becoming the occasion.
There will be weeping and wailing
and crashing of manopolistic teeth, and

corpse is buried under cyclone of bal
lots.

mony in the Republican party.

You can not find one word in the
Republican newspapers pointing with
pride to the high protective countries
Of Italy, Germany and France. They
enjoy The blessing 90 Of a high protec-
tive tariff Republicans harp about
free trade England when they know
that the English workman is paid bet
ter wages than The high protected Ital-
ian, German and Frenchman. Let the
journal drop a silent tear here for It's
prevarications on high protective tariff

TnE Republican cry of free trade is
as false as their assertions in the cam
paign of 1884, when they said if Cleve-
land was elected the negroes would be
put back into slavery, the Union SOL
diers would be deprived of their pen
sions, and the Confederate soldiers
would be granted pensions. The way
faring man. though fool, knows the
Republicans lied when they preached
such silly nonsense. They place very
low estimate on the American voter s
intelligence if they expect to catch his
vote by their false yell of free trade.

is incapable of writing a letter; or,
that he has been so busy shouting

time to write. We have written to
