10 ~ Editor a. ths REGISTER;
SIR:-We are believer ia Democratic
principles, pure aud simple, and as
such we read the REGISTER and papers
of like TX. The discussion Of available
candidates to Congress TO bear the
burdens in the contest of 1894, as the
standard bearer Of the Democratic
party in the First district OF West Vir-
ginla, seems to be in order. A man is
known by his work and his actions, and
many times, In the hurry Of human
events, that man who is most deserving
Is forgotten. We need as our candi-
date a man who is fearless IN his advo-
cacy in defense OF our many interests;
q man who works for principle, and is
not a Democrat for sake Of Office; a
man who can see a poor mans wants as
we'll as those Of a rich man, and Yica
versa; a man who has stamina enough
20 withstand the offer Of gold and who,
notwithstanding such temptations, will
maintain the principles set ont in the
platform his constituency made and
upon which he received their patronage;
a man who stands without a blot or
blemish upon his political career, and
who has attested his faith as speaker
aud writer upon the public questions OF
the day for years. We have Ia Marshall
county this man in the person Of VIM.
NJ. Kincaid An article he published
10 the REGISTER calling Mckinley
down, after his speech in Bellaire,
Ohio. in 1890, showing McKinley's
mistakes IN his assertions that the
Democratic party had never made any
public Improvement or started fur
mace. This do. lmeut we call on you
to publish again. He fully shows the
doctrine Of a revenue tariff and its re-
suits from 1916 TO 1860. Ii will make
good reading for our Republican breth-
rem who now combat the Wilson BILL
His reply 70 q. Wesley AtkinsUn's
speech al Weils0urg on wool, publish
ed in the MOundsylle Echo In 1872,
silenced this wiseacre on that question.
His article published in your paper OF
the goth of August, 1898, aud his artl-
cles In the MOundsville Echo October
9th and 27th on the financial question,
is the true theory of Democracy and
must bs maintained If this country
is 60 exist rs a free, independent nation.
These pieces are the best exposition OF
this subject we have read. Mr.. Kin
caid is not an Office seeker, and we do
not know that he would accept the
nomination If rendered him, but we
name him as ono of the few who can be
elected IN nominated. We believe il to
be the duty OF the people, aud particu-
larly those believing in the money we
had for the first eighty-One years Of
our government, and who want the
same laws that governed and maintain
ed this money so long re-eStebished,
as they we're prior TO the acts OF 1873
and 1875; to lay aside prejudice and
select men capable and who are willing
20 ignore the worship Of the few and
espOuse the cause of the many.
The nomination OF the Democratic
party for 1894 for Congress, as well as
for the State Legislature (the Senate
aud House Of Delegates should be with
that view-we must have men who will
stand by their pledges and endorse
measures with reference to matters that
help the masses-the common people
and business men. Bankers and brokers
are all right and needful so long as they
conform their business to the best In
terests Of the ccmmonalty as a whole,
but when they oyerleap these barriers
and assume 10 be dictatOrs and are de-
termined to run all business in the in
terest of monopoly, the people must
put their feet upon them and call
halt The only way TO do this is to Sc
lect men who are with the masses and
who will use every effort to have this
evil removed Again we repeat: Keep
us out Of the hands OF chronic office
seekers and away from those who are
unwilling 10 carry out the principles
they agreed to when nominated and
who can nOs be corrupted aud ruled by
machine politics. VIM. III. Kincaid
stands alo0f from all these charges and
will. lie is now the right age to be
trusted with this important business;
therefore we take the liberty TO name
him as our standard-bearer for Con-
gress Of the Democratic party Of West
Virginia in the First District in the
coming ConteStOf 1894.
