| This notice is in the Gazette because OF
its recent free trade utterances, which

commented upon BY the papers OF the

people and the Democrats in particular
in this end OF West Virginia. The

They have preached doctrines contrary
to the principles OF their party TO OBJ.

cheating the voter out oil his suffrage
by these false pretensions up to this
date. The time has happily come
when there is no alternative other than
for the monster to show his hideous
form, and his first appearance in his
true light has been sufficient smash the
power and influence of the organ which
was SO prosperous aud influential under
its former policy. 1t will be sufficient

spell thrown upon tine people in this
state by the evil spiritof the Democratic
party. And when the spell is broken
the people who have laboreu under the
baneiul influences OF its evil charm will
stand aghast and wonder how it was
that they become so enchanted by such
a hideous monstrosity. Y.
