of the district are to be looked af-

represent those intercstsy Apart
from that general interest which
we have with the Der ocratic par
ty at large Of repeating class leg
lislation and removing from the
people the burdens which the Re
publican party has imposed upon
them, We have special interests
which have been neglected long
enough. South Of the Kanawha
we have three rivers, the Coal,
the Guyandotte and the Tug Fork
Of SANDY, over whose bosoms
more than i million dollars worth
of timber is taken TO market ey-'
cry year, and hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars worth Of mercfan-
disc is also yenrly transported.
They are the only OUTFITS for, at

Eean, Raleigh, Wyoming and Me
Dowell, and for the last ten years
at least one hundred thousand

1.-THE failure OF the government to
treat the people living along those
streams with common Justice.
Large appropriations have been
made to streams of much less inn
poftance all over tho country,
while the appropriations made
forthe streams South Of the Ka-

done.by any one else who has. had
the power to do so, and as men,
Eber of Congress we are not afraid
that he will forget to bring TO the
attention of that body the impor-
lance of improving our rivers, IN
order to develop our great timber
and coal fields. Let us then for
get personal feelings and preju-
dices and discharge our duty as
citizens who know that they have
interests which should be proper
ly looked after, and rights which
should be ably defended! The
age in which we live, in which
every man and every section lis

admit of sickly sentimentalism,
and if we expect to see the wealth
of our section developed we must
put our strongest and most zeal
