The DsmOrru, desires word With
those Democrats wEo hold, or claim
TO hold, executive positions in tue parts
and To those who axe called or pose rs
leaders II would call their attention to
the fact in but ten short months a hattie
at the polls will DC fought in this State
which ia going to be wagsd with more
ugr ceness and iOU all there is in il by
the Republican party than has been for
some time pIst. 1t would request them
to ever hold in memory green that the
State il practically without Democratic
Organization, that is local organization, and
this they must know IS particularly ueces-
sary tor success II would suggest
to them, that like the free trade cry in
national politics, the faction yelp Is he
ing hurled at Democracy, and this must be
disabus,G. Il would plainly tell them
that the voters this time will DO their own
voting, ami that any holding back for per
S0ral gain, or gain for my friend =

OF a Democratic victory upon Democratic

wake Up TO the fact that they have some
work 10 do in tlis State next fall The
Republicans nave given out that they in
tend 10 make West Virginia the battle
ground and capture it, il possible. We
are in no way alarmed, but simply desire
10 le; the party know what il has to do.
/ The organization Of Blaine aud Cot Re
/ publican clubs IN the State, while Ostensl-
/ biz 20 give General Con boom Tor Vice
/ President, is still nothing less than the or
ganizatiOn Of the Republican party pre-
paratory to the coming contest. The
| leaders Of the Democracy and those inter-
ested in matters Of this kind, should take
uote OF the movement aud act accordingly,
.-FutrD.Ogt Ltd-,
General Con has 40 earthly chance Of
letting the second place On the National
Republican ticket lie isn't big man
outside the limits of West Virginia, and
will have to take back seat here II the
Republicans ever get control OF the state.
He owes his seat in Congress to Democratic
blunders and not to his own popularity.
Bat # tue Republicans desire his nom!Ga-
ton us Vice President let Us hope they
may succeed IN getting him on the ticket.

campaign in lsT6 would be d small affair

/ Mr.. X. Heher Smith will he the Demo

declarations himself, nevertheless his

( ter in that direction, and as we hear OF no
other Democratic candidate, it is a iaiT
assumption that he will receive the NOM

very successful young lawyer. and will

/ The Republicans are now organizing
clubs throughout the State aud the Demo-
Gratis should 10 likewise. A Democratic
/ club should be organized at once IN every
district IN the county. The Republicans

] they are going 10 make q desperate one.
( We should meet the enemy with solid,
uubrOAen front, and make our victory

msndous majority. We can do 1t II we
only work.-haksi,y Springs Mas.
Many OF our Democratic exchanges are

Superintendent Of Public Instruction tor

could he made; ;rr besides the emiugntly
high educational att3iGUCuts Of the gen

which illustrated his great fitness. -CdUr-
