HARDY COUNTY, Feb. 3, ISIS.
To he Editor Of TIE Regjt0:
The newspaper OF the State give
the information that the Repub-
licaus are organizing in all the counties,
preparatory to the great State aud National
contest that is to come Of this coming fall.
The Democrats are doing comparatively
nothing in this respect. Only in one or
two counties have they taken any action
in the matter. Why is this? What has
become OF the Democratic State Executive
Committee? Why does not that commit
tee hold g meeting and formulate a good
plan of organization, and then urge upon
the Democrats ofall the cOuutiesi in the State
the need of vigorous action? This is part Of
the duty Of this committee. They are ap-
pointed fer this purpose. II this is lot one
Of the duties OF that committee, pray tell
Us what their duties are.
1t is very important that the Democratic
party be thoroughly organized and discl-
plined for the next great contest. Oar I'D
versary is going to lend every effort and
energy to wrest FROM US power In West
Yirginit ia the mex contest. We are not
going to have a walk over. 1t is going to
be a hsrd-tought battle. The enemy will
use every effort to poison the minds of the
people against the Democracy on the tariff
Question. Why can't We form organizl-
lions throughout the State, through which
information on this great and important
question nav be conveyed to the peoplei
Are we going 20 stand Idle until the enemy
has poisoued the minds of the people on
this question, and then 90 TO work TO undo
what they have done? Is this the way to
govern a great army Of voters?
The people need light on this tariff
question. The leaders Of the party have
eyaded and lodged the question in the
past, but it can't be thus brushed away
any longer. 1t must be met and discussed
The people desire and expect II to he dis
cussed. They want information on the
subject. This information can be best
conveyed to them through county and dis
trict organizations. | have, in common
with hundreds of other Democrats in the
State, patiently waited TOR and expected
any day to see action on the part Of our
Executive Committee. But said commit
tee does not seem at all disposed to act in
the matter, and hence l address you and
through you the Democrats of the State
on the subject. 1t is in my opinion
OF vast importance TO the
Democratic party that our forces
be pntin motion at as early a day as
possible. l appeal to you and to Demo
Gratis throughout the State to urge q meet
ing of said committee at as early a day as
possible in order to formulate q plan of OF
ganizatiOn. The sooner this is done the
better. 1t cannot be done too
We may in this way save many young
men from being dragged into these Repub
lican clubs. Let Us have Democratic or
CARNATIONS in every district in the State,
aud let these organizations be supplied with
good Democratic reading on the great
questions to be discussed in the next cleo.
ton. l hope you will at once put this
ball in motion" and keep it rolling until
the Democracy Of the State presents a solid
and unbroken front to the enemy. B.
