crst,
Mr. EDIror:-It IS not my purpose
to advocate the claim OF any particular
individual for a place on the Demo-
cratic State ticket. but 20 say q word
in behalf CT Democratic supremacy IN
West Virginia. Democratic aScen-
dency In our State depends largely upon
the cOmplets harmony existing IN the
party, and In ORDER 90 procure tnat
harmony personal preferences should
be discarded absolutely aud the sole
thought be 10 place before the voters
an unexeeptional first class ticket
properiy distributed over the State.
No mistake should be male in this par
ticular, else the consequences may
be- disastrous. We all know the
farmers of the State, who comprise
the most numerous class OF people
Within our borders, or large per cent
age at least are restless and think that
thew have not been fairly treated. Now
i'm order 70 show this numerous class,
which in times past has stood bravely,
honorably aud uobiy by us that we ap-
preciata them and theirs by placing al
the head of our ticket a man OF tler
own class, who is honestly and thor
oughly identified with their every IN
terest. The request Is not only not an
unreasonable one, but 0us the contrary
Rbogid be granted with practical untnl-
raity. TO state a cold blOOded fact, re-
cardless OF personal preferences, N you
want TO get the most votes place az the
head of The Democratic State ticket
some such man as the Hon. j. e. East
ham, al Mason county, an intelligent
honorable oud upright farmer VINO
rs fully capable OF administering
the Office and who Is thoroughly itenti-
red fn thought aud deed with the lGr-
ner class. For instance, LOOK 40 the
recent history 0i the Fourth congress
sionsl district The Democratic ma
ioritv OF taat district was oisSiDated
and scattered 90 the tOuy quarters or
the Globe by wranzing aud personal
ouarrelS within the Democratic RANKS,
but the very moment the name %! that
sturdy old Democratic farmer, Jim Cape
hart. was placed 40 the mast head sn5
no longer wayered, all wrangllng
ceased, the party united IN fact and the
district swung into the Democratic
column as naturally and gracefully as
the waters that dow into the Cult Or
Mexico. Why could not this be re-
heated in the state? We all know the
wranglng and frctionial troubles
that have existed and do now exist, To-
the party ia the State. Let any senSi-
Die Democrat. who loves bis party ana
its principles, ask himself, why con
tinue this state of affairs? Why not
relegate all factionai troubles 70 tue
rear. and place the Democratic party
above and beyond them? This can all
be ACCOMPLISHED and remedied by plac-
ing at the head of our State ticket
competent and a thoroughly represen-
tativs farmer, who is not Identified
I'm act, thought OF deed with the differ
ent factions In the State, and in fact 10
would be nothing more than just
recognition of the farmers, who are the
largest tax payers and the most unmer-
Gus class Of people ia the State. The
farmers have not had governor since
Yves, Virginia became a State
AGAIN iN MNAIa NN NJ IHN A"A aI.N ~ tAa.
cratic party % nominate FOR Congress,
the Legislature, county aud district ON
GERS an over the State their best, mos,
suitable and acceptable men. BY pIac-
Ing before the people ticket from cop
90 bottom, which would be thoroughly
and truly rcJrescutatIve of the Vr.uc'-
pies and Interests OF the party, regard
less 0f past difficulties, West Virginia
would once more respond with her o.d-
zine majority. The interests add pr'r-
ciples of thc Democratic party are above
tho Interests oi any particular person
or persons and Che s0.aCoicct lu making
oar ticket from Che beginning OBJ tle
end should be che best Interests and
principles of ihe party. We must pros
serve them unIurs.rei and geo back OBJ
ths Ola land marks DIV setting properly
and wisely success. in West Virginia la
November next can be assured.
