WI understand that the Journal will
this week contain the card Of Mr.. A.
j. Bonafeld which we publish is nnoth-
or column. We are further informed
that the editor Of the journal has said
that he will make good use Of that card
for the purpose of clecting Eugene Lam
ham the Republican candidate for sher-
if. The journal and it's editor, Mr..
Dawson, are, VIC arc informed, to put
a construction on that card placing Mr.
Bonafeld in the position of being in
sympathy with the supporters of Lam
ham and not in sympathy with the
supporters of Dan Jackson.
Such a construction is false. Let no
n be deceived. Mr.. Bonafeld has
withdrawn in the best interest of the
party. We have always understood
Mr.. Bonafeld to be an honorable man.
We believe him TO be such. He is a
Democrat. He is not assisting directly
or indirectly to elect Lanham and defeat
the Independent candidate. The Demo-
Gratis can not elect a sheriff from their
own party. Mr.. Jackson's Republican
friends brought him out as a candidate.
The Democrats are supporting Mr..
Jackson. Jackson's friends brought
him out because they believed he was
defeated in the convention by unfair
methods. Mr.. Bonafeld is opposed to
unfairness, and he says 50 in his card,
in unmistakablo terms.
The Journal will put a different con-
struction on the card. Let Democrats
beware. Let all honest and honorable
men beware. The New Era may attempt
the same trick. Don't be deceived.
Mr.. Bonafeld is certainly in full
sympathy with the Democrats in their
efforts to elect capable and competent
men.
If the Democrats will all vote for
Jackson he will be elected.

20 the voters Of Preston County .

To the Voters OF Preston County
The above card appeared in three of
the papers published in this county,
last week. Since that time 1 have been
called upon, personally, by a large
number Of my friends, many Of whom
were the prime movers in the publica-
ton of the above card and before go
ing further into the subject, l make
the public announcement that 1 will
permit the use of my name for the of
fee of Sheriff of Preston county-that
I am a candidate for that position.
Even before the publication of the
above card, at the earnest solicitation
Of a number of my friends, l became
a candidate, but this is the first an
nouncement of the fact in public print.
In the publication of the fact that /
am a candidate, / do not wish it under
stood that l am n "sore-hoad," a ''bol-
teri or "kicker." In coming before
the people as a candidate, l come for a
vindication Of my rights-thc rights
of which l was unjustly deprived in
the convention which was held after
the result of the primary election had
been declared, at which election l car
ried more votes than any other candi-
date for the same position.
There being a great deal Of ambig-
uity about the rules governing the con-
v%ention held after the result of the pri-
mary election had been ascertained, /
was repeatedly told. and induced to be-
lievc, that the candidate who was the
choice of the people at the election
would, and must necessarily be, the
choice of the convention. The people
know l was not the choice Of the con-
vention, but that l VAS CHOICE OF
II PEOPLE by a plurality Of votes
receiving 104 votes more than any
other candidate.
l now place my claims of recogni-
ton before the people. / do not be-
licve that the will of the people should
be thwarted. 1 do not believe that
rules Ambiguous and with double
sense deluding'' should deprive any
man of his just dues, or that one or
the other of two possible constructions
Of a set of rules should deprive the
people of their rights or defeat their
viii as declared by their ballots.
/ submit the justice of my position
to the voters of Preston County, irres-
pective Of party, and if they say by
their ballots on the 9th day of Novem-
Der that I am wrong, I will gracefully
submit;-but if they decide that l am
right, by casting their ballots for me,
1 shall endeavor to Eli the Office Of
Sheriff with honor and credit to myself
and fidelity to the people.
Very respectfully yours,
DAN'L r. JACKSON.

voTERs DON'T TRADE

In all his speeches Gen. Golf makes
a special plea for the Legislature.
He wishes to be United States Sem
ator.
But COTS ambition aside, the Leg
islature is too close for the Democrats
to risk one vote. Remember, five keep
the number of Democratic Senators we
now have Allen G.. Thurmrn's vote will
make the United States Senate Demo-
cratic, and prevent the Republicans
hereafter from harassing President
Cleveland as they have in the past.
We must keep every man we have
got or there is danger o losing the SEN
ate, which would be q catastrophe and
seriously impede the reforms President
Cleveland and the Democrats would
i%naugurate had they a majority in both
branch es of Congress.
We hardly need warn Democrats at
this late day that the Republicans are
bending all their energies to carry the
Legislature. They will trade their
whole State ticket to electa Republican
majority in the Legislature, and gain
one United States Senator from West
Virginia.
Democrats. DON'T TRADE.
We will elect every man on the State
ticket. There's no danger of the defeat
of any one of them. What we want to
do is keep our majority in the Legisla-
ture also, and keep Vest Virginia's del
egation in the United States Senate
Democratic.
D0N'TTRADE. VoTR THE STRAIGHT

for this Office, and that / do not be-
lieve in trying to elect any candidate
