Encouraging Reports and the Consen
sus OF Opinion, as Expressed by the
State Executive Committee and Other
Prominent Democrats. is That the
Party Will Go Into the Fall Campaign
Better Organized and Equipped Thar
Ever Before In an OF Year.
CAMDEN ON THE GAULEY, w. VA.
July ia Register representative,
present at the meeting of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee her,
yesterday secured the following
brief interview with the members O
the committee and other prominen
Democrats as to the condition o
the party in their respective section.
and the outlook for next fall. TIL,
reports as given below are most en-
couraging for the Democracy.
HON W. E. Chiffon,
chairman of the committee, said %
have had pretty thorough reports
from the organization all over tn,
State. / have given a good deal o.
attention to such matters and tt
public opinion for the last month
/ see nothing to discourage and
everything TO encourage the Demo
Gratis. believe that the people ar,
not like children to the changed by
every Whit of the wind, and that tn,
yerdicts of 1890 and 1892 we're the
deliberate sentiments of the people
expressed at the polls, and that thos,
verdicts will be repeated in 1894
Republicans have been claiming
West Virginia every election since
1872 and nobody will be frightened
by their boast now. The cause oil
the people is the cause ofdemocracy
and ! am absolutely confident thai
cause will be triumphant in tn,
November election"
HON. W. A. oHLEY,
Secretary of the Committee, said
Il know of no Democrats who will
not vote the Democratic ticket this
year, and we will go into the fight
this fall better organized than usual
in an off year campaign. The party
is in good condition in the Second
district"
SENATOR j. N. CAMDEN
said Il think satisfactory tariff
bill will be passed within the nexi
ten days. Business will revive and
the Democrats of West Virginia will
stand united for an old-time victory
at the polls in November"
r. Il. HARRISON,
editor of the Weston Democrat, said
AFTER the 21st inst, when Lewis
county Democrats Feet in mass con-
yention and nominate their ticket
the party in our section will put Its
shoulder to the wheel and pull them
through or burst their galluses."
COL. JNo. T. M'GRAw
said: II think the party in this
State is all right The heart and
soul of majority of its people are
with the fortunes of the Democratic
party. 1t is nowhere written in the
books that West Virginia is to be a
Republican State. | am in favor OF
an earnest, active and energetic or
ganization under the leadership of
our Chairman, with broad and
fearless declaration of principles and
think our people will respond with
their old time majorities. With the
repeal of the present Republican tar
i'll laws and the passage of fair
tariff reform measure, l think bust
ness will resume its normal and
healthy coalition and the country
pass to period of unparalleled pros
perity. l am in favor of State
Convention to nominate candidate
for United States Senator. This is
Democratic and follows the preced-
ent set by the Democrats of Illinois
and other States and is in harmony
with the principles OF the Democrat
ic party.
Il can't see how any candidate
could object to this action if our
committee should adopt my views. !"
W. B. M'GARY,
of Weston, said: "The tantalizing
twitting of the Republicans has and
is intensifying the latent but indy
ing ardor of all true Democrats.
When the dark shadow of deep dis
content occasioned by vicious legis-
lation for which a few Democrats
and all Republican Lawmakers are
responsible is removed and dispelled
by the enactment of humane and
judicious tariff law, the prosperity
of the country will go on as before,
except the many will share the bless
ings that only the few have enjoyed.
No intelligent Democrat will or
should be mislead by the deceptive
cry of alarm and disaster, because
overproduction, trusts and combina-
tions have fourished in this land of
poverty and plenty.
The Democrats have been little
discouraged, but not disheartened,
at the slow progress of our Federal
Legislation, but the bitter antipathy
and groundless opposition with
which the Republican leaders have
fought constitutional tariff changes
have walked luke-warm Democrats
into activity. No. man of energy
outside of few crowded cities in the
United States should be in distress.
Inventions and labor saving machin-
cry have made work scarce, but in
communities like ours there is no
occasion for any piteous struggle to
live. The present may not be just
what we wish, but the future belongs
to US, and let us stand together on
the same rock that time nor cline
has ever nor can ever sever"
HON. LOUIS BENNETT,
ex-Speaker of the House of Dele
gates, said: "My business affairs
have taken me through a good many
counties in the central part of the
State. 1 find that the general effect
of the hard times among Democrats
is simply to intensity their
Democracy. They have held up the
danger flag for many years, and now
that their prediction of the result
of vicious Republican legislation has
been verified they are not disposed
to hold any other party responsible
for it. They are thinking people
who cannot be led astray by false
clamor and will roll up their usual
