South Branch intelligencer. [volume] (Romney, Va. [W. Va.]) 1830-1896, 1892-06-03

William L. Wilson, the two men
the gentleman wishes TO down and
belittle in your estimation, or 4.
Russell? And he had the aud acity
TO cnppie Cleveland-s name with
Sherman, Lodge and others Of re-
publican iniquitY.
I, my democratic friends cupple
his with the loud mouthcd Pow
nall, as often see him min arm
on the streets with said gentleman
the most obnoxious and low down
republican that ever appeared in
our midst. A number of you have
not forgotten his unjust utterances
IN the Courthouse four years ago.
No dirty Northern republican
would have stopped SO low.
My fellow democrats Mr.. X. Rus
sell is too thick with Pownall to
thrive WILL in q democratic camp
| in my estimation and further
/ will say, as old Henry Lockner
told the New York prize fighter af-
ter he had squeezed the life almost
out Of him, Rugged him like an old
bear would dog, as some Of our
old men will remember, "rold him
he was too little before he agreed to
fight him, and afterwards says, i
told you that you was too little."
Now my fellow democrats, that
is my opinion Of 4. Russell, he 10
too little all over, and over to lead
the democracy Of grand old Hamp-
shire.
He appealed to You in the Court
house, 81 see so many sun burnt
brows, sons Of toll, that are not
afraid to speak," Now my friends
the wheel of fortune has not been
any more stu bborn with any of you
than myself, but ] keep my should
er to tho wheel and will continne
go to do, without aeking advice
from such as Col. Russell, or join
ing any Ism or Schism, or midnight
kitchen cabinet organization.
lie (Russell) was the most bitter
man in all our county on the farm
ers' alliance when first started, but
he saw that he was making mis-
deal, as to soff-interest.
So coming around now and TAX
ing you by the hand and saying,
Obi brother made o mistake,
come drop your pennies into my
Golfers and / will make the music
for you, and go he is doing, has
captured your leaders and brought
them to his aid, and you all seem
to come at his call and bow to his
bidding.
Oh you deceived and misled
sons of toll. Some OF you that
have followed leaders that were
worthy to lead on many hard con-
tested battlefield. Patriots who
have faced hail Of lead and iron,
and would do il again to uphold
our flag "The most glorious EN-.
bl EN- Of liberty that is unfurled to
the bold breeze of heaven"
But Il. Russell and the editor Of
the Review are to be the great ex-
Founders of our currency to you,
ono of the most weighty measures
that is disturbing our equilibrium
to day.
1t seems to be the height OF the
editor sambition with his 'swaddling
clothes hardly off, to try to dictate,
to direct, and guide men that ha We
borne the brunt of battle for years
tell them their duty &c.
Poor deluded soul he will learn
better after while, he had better re-
view his old school books the third
reader, tho pert chicken for in
stance.
! could name few more Just
such men that are the expounders
of the silver bill, just such men
led US of in eighteen sixty and
sixty one. Virginia was too slow
for some of them, they wanted to
60 to South Carolina, but after
they saw little blood shed they
played hide and seek the balance of
the four years, while many o poor
fellow went down in the terrible
carnage.
OIL may our children's children
never live to sec such, but follow
such leaders and trouble will come.
A few Of our old and best thinking
men remember well the division in
our party In sixty, and know the
result, hurled thousands Of men and
millions OF dollars worth Of proper
/ ty to destruction and my dear
fellows we arc still paying of tho
debt 1T increased, now twenty seven
years, and will be for tie next
twenty five.
The same old radical cOntamina-
ted element. Yes / will say, that
it seems spawns from the bowels Of
tho lower regions have come to the
surface, Matched and grown, and
are now within Our midst striving
to dict ate and control.
