full sound, it sounds like the
means and murmurs of past ages
there is nothing hopeful, moth
ing truthful, nothing convincing,
nothing appealing, nothing
patriotic,-it is a mournful,
pitiably disgusting,-a falsely
fiattering calamity cry,-a peli-
can in the bourbon wilderness of
Democratic imagination, JEFF
ferson County, West Virginia,
United States of America, in the
year of our Lord 1892,-it is
Stuart w. Walker, Democratic
candidate for the legislature in a
specially manufactured district
for politicians of his calibre and
purpose, Senatorial Solid South
Succession.
Stuart Walker
Crying Bayonets, Niger Rule,
Oppression, Slavery, To Arms,
Passion to the Right, Prejudice
to the Left, Dead Issues all
around.
Stuart Walker
He imagines himself a General,
a Patriot, leading his soldiers to
battle, when the echoes of history
the proof of facts and events cry
out on every hand, and tell him
to his face that the fight of the
world for a century has been
against his kind and his party
and on every page of the history
of human progression and liberty
and justice, triumph is written
against such foes,-triumph by
law, triumph by constitutions,
triumph by governments,
triumph by arms, triumph by
peace.
A patriot is one who stands up
in time of need and danger, in
the battles front whether swords
or pens or gift of tongue and
brains are the weapons.
Stuart Walker
Take the political shadow
away behind him and nothing
remains. Fire facts and argu-
ments and the bolts of fate in the
DEGREES of the universe against
all that he represents for a CEN
fury and magnifying glass was
never made powerful enough to
find an impression.
Stuart Walker!
In the lapse of centuries among
the relics of past ages of unpro-
gressiOn and narrowness and
nothingness, wherein scientists
will delve for the missing link
of the 10Th century, will be found
the fossilized remains of such
barren political craftsmanship.
Stuart Walker
Words, words, idle, meaning
less words,-baby talk,-the
light of day, the hum of industry,
the free, happy hearts all around,
-repel and dispel the woeful
wall of the Berkeley Pelican in
the Bourbon wilderness of dismay
and despair as the sun dispels the
mist and scatters the clouds to
let down Gods blessings on all
his creation.
Stuart Walker!
Ye colored people look at him,
ye solid, sound formers and
laborers behold him, stirring up
the blood of the dead, rafting
the bones in the closets of time,
and for what to get your votes
to represent you in the Legisla-
ture ! When he is there, Cua bOnol
To whose credit who does he
represent! Senator Faulkner.
Senator Faulkner, who courts
your votes but you never get on
his party ticket. You are not of
his kind. His interest are party
and politics. Your interests are
good laws and governmental safe
country, a sound financial sys-
tenn, wise laws to protect every
class of citizens.
Do they discuss these things
before you? Do they argue on
the tariff, or State issues, on
money matters, on farm prices
and products? No. They cry
Niger" " Niger" Niger"
"Oppression," Injustice"
Bayonets, " " Force" &c. You
are intelligent. You see. You
read. Do you believe all that !?
Don't you see through it? They
have no popular issue. Free
Trade is unpopular. Wild cat
banks and shinplasters are un-
popular. Raising valuations (see
your last tax bill,) is unpopular.
High taxes and licenses are I'M
popular. High salaries and
increased number of offices are
unpopular. No wonder they go
back half a century to rake up
dead issues. There's where they
belong. They are a dead issue.
Their fate is sealed. The country
don't trust them. They are
