and reared III the mountain Fast
nesses Of old Logan who have
avowed thcirintention Of "scratci-
ing one or another Of the nomi
necs Of our party when the Ides
Of November shall roll around,.
but we hope for the credit OF Lo-
gan's "rock-ribbed, lcopper-bot
toned democracy that such re-
portsare false.
1t IS but natural that bittf r
feelings should be engendered BY
the clashing Of the claims Of rival
candidates before our conventions
but the conventions have done
their work now, well and consci-
entiously, and every true Demo
crat in hearty ard earnest re-
spouse to the bugle call Of free
dom, must face about with his
brethren and forgetting all pri-
vate feuds and grievances, Join in
the charge upon our friends, the
enemy.
That Democrat who filters IN
iiIig duty IN this the crisis OH
party's need betrays the trust re-
posed IN. him by the party OF the
people, forfcits his claim upon
the conf dence and good will Of
his compeers and deserves to be
incarcerated in the bottom-most
pit Of political damnation.
You cannot afford to let petty
desire for revenge prevent you
from casting straight Democrat
| ic ticket on the Sth day of No
vember. If you have ever har-
bored such thought, exercise
the.evil spirit that has taken pos
session OF you an come back TO
the fold and on Bonded knee ask
forgiveness for the wicked
thoughts of your heart. The
people have spoken and 1.-THE voice
Of the people is the voice Of God"
we feel sorry for that Democrat,
who, when the glorious news
flashes over the wires next No
vember that Cleveland, MacCor-
kle, Anderson and Mahood are
elected, can't forget one or more
efethem- was scratched On his tick
ct. Verify, like Judas Of old, he
will feel like sneaklng off with
down cast eyes and hanging him
self to the nearest tree.
Logan expects every Democrat
to do his whole duty during this.
campaign. The eyes Of friend
and foe alike are turned towards
the mountains of old Logan
whence cometh our help. Every
Republican in the county is alert
active and Jealous in the the sup
port of his whole. ticket, ~and it
behooves every Democrat to see
to it that he does not prove a
.raitor in the camp Of his friends.
Stop a minute, friend sand
thin&ef the issues involved IN.
the fight that is now upon us.
Do You want the robber tariff
barons to keep on heaping up
their multiplied millions from
youns hard-earned dollars,2~ Do
you want your polls to be manned
by Federal soldiers, it may be
by negroes from Virginia or
North Carolina9
Ifyou do, just scratch the names
of the electors from your ticket
and fail to vote for John d. AL
derson for Congress.
Do you want a Republican Sen
ator from this District to cast his
vote for Stephen b. Elkins, for
United States Senator-that little
man with the big head who thinks
that with his furnished gold he
can buy our little. mountain State
the home OF the free and the
land land of the brave, for HIM
self and Harrison?
If you do, act the fool-and don't
vote for Mahood because you
don't like him or his followers.
Our nominees oare Democrats,
and it should be your proudest
boast to exclaim with Senator
Hill: 81 am Democrat"
Whatsoever Democrat scratch
es a single name from his ticket,
let him be anathema.
