STATE SENATE.
Communicated

Mr.. Knott's refusal to say how he
will vote on the vital questions be-
fore the next Legislature requires
his defeat unless these three coun-
ties propose to surrender to the rail-
road lobby. We are not yet so pros
trated that Jefferson has no son
equal to the occasion. 1t cannot be
true we are to be misrepresented be-
cause all our men are towards and
afraid to fight for the public cause.
/ personally know Of 100 of as good
and sensible Democrats as any in
this District who will not vote for
Knott. If / know OF these many
there are 1000 / do not know of.
Of course they will not vote for a
Republican. The Democratic ma.
iority in this district is over 900
ard of course the Republicans are
not such fools as to run man. The
better class of Republicans are
against Knott because they are tired
ofrailroad ruleand ifthey cannot pos
sibly get man of their own they
will support and have their party
support q Democrat who is indie
pendent Of the railroad lobby.
The man must be jefferson man
because this county is entitled to
the place. The Constitution forbids
two Senators from the same county
and this shuts out Berkeley. Nor
gan has just had her turn and this
SHUTS out that county. Besides
voters in Jefferson are needed and
to beat Knott we must have q man
of the same county. | go farther
any say he must be man from the
Shepherdstown neighbOrhood. That
end of the County is badly treated
and is entitled to representation.
1t has as good matarial as can be
found anywhere. The only ques
ton is whether she has man with
pluck, willing to do the people the
greatest service citizen can render.
No man has right to refuse to
serve in a case like this. 1t is his
duty to do So Therefore let all who
wish to save Jefferson from rail
road rule consult when they meet and
agree upon who shall be the peoples
candidate and then demand that he
shall serve. His election is as Ger
tain as Chew's. The Office. seekers
and holders may pirate about nomi-
nees but the body of the voters want
good men who will represent and
carry out their wishes. True De-
mocracy consists in voting for prin-
ciples and not for men.

ments of representative men | have

THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE
KICKERS.

Certain members of the last Leg
islature refused to violate the pledg-
es on which they had been elected.
Thereupon the managers ofmachine
politics swore that every one of
them should be ostracized by the
State convention. The body of the
people we're then and are now in
full sympathy with the Kickers and
against the machine. We print be-
low the endorsement of the Kickers
which was signed by 3l5 Of the
truest and most influential Demo
Gratis in this State. How can those
who signed this endorsement now
turn against and hound down the
men they endorsed =? For ourselves
we will never do se;-self-respect
forbids it.
The machine managers kept quiet
but had their army of Federal office
holders at work to control the Hunt
ington convention. They carried
out their threats and every man
who endorsed the Kickers; every
man who said that the pledge to
voters is superior to a caucus decree
has been driven into exile. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the body
of the party will ratify the work of
the bosses.
The public speakers, the machine
politicians and their newspapers are
trying very hard to suppress any
discussion of this subject but the
people are talking about it none the
less.
We predict, that st the very first
joint discussion between Golf or
Hubbard and Democratic nominee,
our candidate will be driven to a
full and complete endorsement of
the Kickers. Here is the paper
signed by 3l5 of the best known and
most influential Democrats in the
State:

JOINT DISCUSSION.


The Republican Committee, speak
ing for General Coz, invited Judge
Fleming 70 a joint discussion. The
The chairman Of our Executive
Committee makes the following re-
ply:
1t is well known by the people Of
the State that Judge Fleming has
been u Judge upon the Circuit bench
for ten years. and in that position
he has been isolated from all active
participation in politics and politi-
cal discussions. His nomination
for Governor was made while he still
occupied his judicial position, with
out solicitation or canvass on his
part for it. His attention. therefore,
has been wholly directed to the dis
charge of his judicial duties, and
not to obtaining such political in
formation as would fit him for the
general discussion Of the economic
and political issues involved in the
present canvass. The Democratic
Committee, under the circumstances,
feels that it would be unfair to Judge
Fleming to place him joint politi-
cal discussion within few weeks
from his retirement from the bench
without reasonable time for prepa-
ration. General Golf has been iden-
tilted with the discussion and legis-
lation proposed upon all the econom-
ic aud political issues for the past
six years, by his presence and SER
vices at the National Capitol.
The Committee then requested
that Gen. GoF meets Hon. w. l..
Wilson.
The Chairman of the Republican
Committee in his reply makes the
point: That the Democratic Com
mittee is in the dilemma of having
as it's nominee for Governor a gen
tleman not sufficiently acquainted
with State affairs to meet Gen. Goff
in Joint discussion.
If the Kickers had not been ostra-
cized our party would have escaped
this disgrace. Nothing would in
duce Golf to meet John j. Davis,
Chew, Flournoy, &C., &c.
The bosses, intent only on self-ad-
vancement, are beginning to feel the
blunder at Huntington they will
feel it more painfully before Novem-
Der.
Gentlemen, you cannot bulldoze a
people like these in West Virginia.

The people of this county are di-
vided on many questions, but they
are virtually unanimous against the
free-pas bribery and in favor of the
law to prevent railroad managers
from discriminating between ship
pers; they are also unanimous for
the law to eQualize taxation by as
sessing the commercial property
which now escapes. Everybody adj
mits that these three laws would
carry at the polls 90 votes to one.
There is not a Grange in this county
which is not ready to pass the fol-
lowing resolutions:
/. The free-pass bribery should be
abolished.
.. Our local traffic should be protected
against discrimination as Congress has
protected Interstate traffic.
- The commercial and corporate prom
erty which now escapes taxation should
be listed by the assessor precisely as
farming property Is assessed.
There is not a mechanic who is
not in favor Il these resolutions;
there is not labOring man who is
not in favor of them.
