Who the Leaders are.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, October II.
TO the Editor ofme Register:
SIR-The G. o. P. is having all it can
do to take care of the fight in its own
ranks, aud has little or no'time TO meet
the onslaught that is being made upon
it by the solid and unwavering Demo.
cratic columns here in the Kanawha
Valley. The election next month is full
OF promise for the Democracy in this
locality-the whole county ticket is
certain to be elected. The nomination
OF A. c. Blair for Prosecuting Attorney
over ICY" Hall has stirred up hornets
nest in Republican circles, and the
friends Of the defeated candidate are
swearing vengeance against the ring
and It's candidate. There is no doubt
but that the knife will be vigorously
applied here on election day, and the
result will be the election of 5. S. Green,
the Democratic candidate. who will
make one OF the ablest prosecutors
this county has ever had. He
has large following among the
Republicans outside of the warning
factions, besides he will receive large
per cent. Of the Hall ele ment, which is
quite strong in certain parts OF the
county.
COL. BOB CARR SURE OF ELECTION.
The people OF Kanawha are paying
very little attention to the State Sena-
torship, as il is generally conceded that
Bob Carr will have q complete walk
over in the raced efeating George w.
Patton by an overwhelming majority.
The truth OF the matter is Col. Patton
is scarcely known in the race. Occa.
SIonally you will \hear a Republican
rant around" and attempt to stir up a
little enthusiasm among the faithful"
for PattOnr but it is NO go. Carr will
win easily and by very large majority.
BANKER HULING MAKING LITTLE HEAD
WAY.
In the fight for Congress Banker HUI
ing is making very little Roadway. The
people Of the district don't think much
II a candidate who has little or no ca
2acity beyond his dollars. He can not
make a speech Of five minutes length 10
ave his neck, but has to depend upon
Sam Burdette TO perform that part of
he work for him. Anderson will crowd
Iuling In Kapawha, and il he does not
AIRY the county hs will reduce HUI
Jugs majority down to a very small
Igure,
Il is a we'll known fact that the Re.
,nblicans have no hope for Huling
inless he carries Kanawha county by
900 majority. This he can not do.
le could not do it il he received the full |
republican vote which he will not do. !
here are a number Of Republicans in |
Ianawha who say they will not vote
or the banker, and they are men OF |
considerable influence aud have In the
asst been valiant party workers. The |
lullng crowd expect TO capture the
floating" vote, which Is very large in
Ianawha, and for that purpose large
um Of money will be placed at each Of
be election precincts TO be used to cor
upt the voters and debauch the ballot.
he Democratic committee Is 'Onto"
ne scheme and il corruptionists are
OF careful many, if not all, of them
1ill find themselves behind the "bars"
prison bars we mean.
We have often wondered whether
onest men ever stopped TO consider the
haracter of the leaders OF the Republi-
an party in Kanawha county, II they
ave never done so, a glance at the lot
+ Democratic kickers who have con
diluted themselves Republican leaders !
q this county, Will prove interesting
nd should teach a salutary lesson 10
very young man in the county VINO IS
bout TO cast MS first vote.
AT the head Of the list stands that ex'
Democrat, J. II. Huling, the nominee
OF Congress. He is renegade, and
anne from Pennsylvania.
Sam c. Burdette, Huling's political
came to this State Dem
1crat. o.,.
Henry X. Back, the present Circuit /
Jerk, began life Democrat, and |
hanged because it would bring in .
arger returns.
Capt. John X. Thompson, Huling's
financial agent and Doodle distributor,
5 an ex-Confederate soldier and Demo
rat.
John Roman is another Republican
eader that was kicked out OF the Dem
1cratic party.
Phil Russell was once Democrat, but
IS now doing the mental work Tor HUI
ing in his congressional campaign!
Bill Dave Goshorn, Democrat longer
than anything else, has finally turned
coal black, settled down to Republican
ism and joined the Young
Mems Huliug club, Yes, Willie
has turned his back upon the
dry and sterile Democratic pastures OF
Kanawha county, and has started on
with his nose in the air for the
tall clover and bee-hunted fields OF Re-
II the willy William David
don't succeed in getting into
those inviting pastures, to which his
scent is leading him, it will be
because he isn't strong in the shoulders
nor broad enough between the eyes to
bull down the fence. hANAWHA'
