purity of his private character,
and shall ever hold him in CRATE
|ful remembrance for the honest
and faithful administration which
he gave US as President, and while
we have an equal admiration for
David Bennett Hill for his stcr-

pecially entitled to our thanks for
his active work against the Force

fthe party of Capitalization en-
deavored to fasten upon us, as
we'll as for the able and Jealous
manner in which he has looked
after the matters in which West
Virginia was especially interest

every way fitted and equipped for
the position which he now occu-
pies, we ask for him another term

7th. We ask of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress
to use all of the influence and
power at their command to give
us liberal appropriations for the
Guyandotte and Tug rivers.
