are most encouraging for the Demo

HON. W. z. Chiffon,

have had pretty thorough reports from
the organization all over the State.
have given good deal Of attention to
such matters and 70 public;opinlon for
the last month. l see nothing to dis
courage aud everything to encourage
the Democrats. l believe that the
people are not like children 10 be
changed by every Whit Of the wind, snd
that the yerdIctS of 1890 and 1892 were
the deliberate sentiments Of the people
expressed at the polls. and that those
verdicts will De repeated 10 1S94. Re-
pu0.icanS have been claiming West Nir-
GINA every election since 1872 and no.
body will be frightened by their boast
now. The cause Of the people is The
cause of democracy, ard / am absolute
ly confident that that cause will be
triumphant ia the November election"
HON. w. A. OHLEV,
Secretary Of the Committee, said: "I
know OF no Democrats who will not
vote the Democratic ticket this year,
and we vii. go into tue tight this fall
better organized than usual In an of
year campaign. The party is ia good
condition 10 the Second district"
SENATOR j.. y. CAMDEN
said: 81 think a satisfactory tariff bill
will be passed within the next ten days.
Business will revive and ths Democrats
OF West Virginia will stand united for
40 oid-time victory at the polls in No
yem5er"
Il. Il. HARRISON,
editor OF the Weston Democrat, said:
After the 2lst Inst, when Lewis
county Democrats meet in mass conyen-
tion and nominate their ticket, the
party 10 our section will put It's shout
der TO the wheel and pull them through
or bust their galiUscs'
COL JNo. t. M'GRAw
said: Il think the party in this State
is all right. The heart ADD soul of
majority OF its people are with the for
tunes OF the Democratic party. 1t Is
no where written Ia the books that West
Virginia IS 20 DO a Republican SITE.
am 10 favor of an earnest, active and
energetic organization under the
leadership Of our Chairman, with
a broad and fearless declaration OF
principles and think our people will re-
SDoud with their old time maj0ritleS.
With the repeal OF the present Repub-
fair tariff reform measure, / think busi-
ness will resume IT'S normal and healthy
coalition ana the country pass 70 a
period OF unparalleled prosperity.
i am in favor Of a
State Convention to nominate candi-
date for United States Senator. This
Is Democratic aud follows the precedent
set by the Democrats Of Illinois and
other States and is 10 harmony with the
principles Of the Democratic party.
81 can't see how any candidate could
object TO this action IL our committee
should adopt my views
w. L. M'GABY.
OF Weston, said; The tantalizing twit-
ting of the Republicans has and is in
tensifyjng the latent but uudyiug ardor
Of all true Democrats. When the dark
shadow OF deep discomfort occasioned
by vicious legislation for which few
Democrats and all Republican law max
ers are responsible is removed and dis
PEELED By the enactment OF humane
and judicious tariff law, the prosperity
Of the country will 20 on as before, e1-
cept the many will share the blessings
that only the few have enjoyed.
No Intelligent Democrat will
or should be mjSlead by the deceptive
cry Of alarm and disaster, because over
production, trusts and combinations
have hourished IN this land OF poverty
and plenty.
The Democrats have been a little dis
couraged, but not diSheartened, at the
slow progress OF our Federal LegiSla-
ton, but the bitter autipathy and
and groundleSS opposition with which
the Republican leaders have fought con-
stitUtionaI tariff changes have walked
luke-Warm Democrats into activity. No
man OF energy outside OF few crowd
ed cities In the United States
should be in distress. Inventions and
labor saving machinery have made
work scarce, but In communities like
ours there is no occasion for any pit
eous struggle 20 live. The present may
not be Just what We wish, but the fu-
ture belongs 10 US, and let us stand to-
gether on the same rock that no time
nor cline has ever nor can never sever.
HON. LOUIS BENNETT,
ex-Speaker OF the House Of Delegates,
said: "My business affairs have taken
me through q good many counties In the
central part Of the State. 1 fad thai
the general effect OF the hard times
among Democrats is simply to in
Isnsify their Democracy. They have
held up the danger Tag FOR
MANY years, and now that their predic-
ton OF the result OF vicious Republican
legislation has been verified they are not
disposed 20 hold any other party reSpOn-
sible for il. They are thinkiug people
who cannot be led astray by false clam
or and Will roll uO their usual majority.
Especially will this be true 10 my OwG.
