MooREIELD, W. Va,
Yesterday WAS an exciting day in our
town. Hon. George O. Sturgiss and John
Fl. Holt were announced for speakers here
to day. They put in an appearance this
a. m. There was large crowd in town
drawn here by court and several large
sales. The Democrats proposed joint
debate with them, General Sprigg and
Hon. George E. Price to speak for the
Democrats, butthey declined, saying they
did not come here for that purpose. Mr..
SturpiSs spoke from about o'clock until
near 4. After he closed the Democrats
called loudly for Mr.. Price, and that gen.
tleman came forth and in mastery
speech of about hours cut the aforesaid
S;urgiss right and lefs. There was liter
slly nothing left of him when Price was
through with him.
This meeting has done the Democracy
great good in this section. They now see
that they must 90 to work and fight these
men who are trying to misrepreeent the
Democratic party. It will make $50 votes
for the ticket in this county. The manner
in which the Republicans treated General
Sprigg in Grant on Saturday LAST has rous-
ed up our Democrats grestly. They will
make ii hot from this time out. / think
you can put old Hardy down for an in
creased msjority this fall. We will gain
in Grant also think. The split in the
Republican party in that county will give
MS some advantage. The renegade Holt
will get no quarter In this county. They
gave him fits in Hampshire, and he will
get the same here.
