BLUEFIELD, w. VA, Nov. 9th, 1895
We must congratulate our people not
only in this city. but all over the entire
state for their lOyaltC TO their party in
the recent election. They were look
ing forward to a General who would
save this great government OF ours.
Thank God their supp ,rt was not de-
feated by any means, and we are safe
again in the harbor of protection, by
gentleman whose ability is higher than
the mighty pinnaeles of the world and
as broad in proportion.
From the great achieving results of
November's election in the victory OF
Major Mckinley, this country will
flourish and bloom with business and
industries like never before since the
foundation of our government.
The effect has already been felt from
the Atlantic to the Pacific borders, and
when the President elect shall assume
his throne after March 4th. 1897, Oh
what brilliant light will adOrn this
land of ours.
We predicted no other results in all
of our correspondence to the various
papers the country over, that Major
Mckinley would be the next President
of the United States after November
ly reign over our nation.
Last Saturdays issue of the PLANET
was fine representation of Major
Mckinley and bon. Garrett A Hobart.
We have read hundreds of papers on
the results of the election. but there
were none even among the national
newspapers of the country came up
to the standard of appearance and its
reading matter as the PLANET 1t was
a creditab'e make up in every true
sense of the word, many were the
compliments paid noble John Mitchell,
Jr. by our leading business white
friends for such an able edited journal
by our race. Some remarked, "It was
the best | have seen on the ell elton
thus far"
1t is true we have some among the
best white people in this city, as in
the state or any where, they utter
their sentiments for our encour-
agement for what ever advancement
we undertake in this city
Long live our King, John Mitchell,
Jr and the PLANET. by such strong
elements of a race. how can we 90

Hon. O. H Payne, d D., of Mont
gomery, w Va. Editor Of the "Moun-
tain Eagle" at that place was elected
good people of Fayette County in
which he resides We were confident
Hon. Payne's success when he first en-
tered the field. There is no man that
stand as high in the estimation of
West Virginia as this noted and dis
tinguished gentleman.
He is the acknowledged leader of his
! people OF this state. There was no
man who " as sent out by the State
Committee, had as large a gathering
OF people as this brilliant speaker, by
his electrifying eloquence, and being
so full of rich patriotism until many
would say never has such a man spoke
and made the way so PLAIN as Mr..
/ Payne.
When the appointments were made
in the afternoon for this Orator of Fa-
yette County, business places would
close in order to hear this great cham
pion of the Grand Old Party, DIR. Payne
explain the dark clouds that we're Just
over the Hill awaiting the adoption of
the Chicago platform, in case the peo-
pie of this country supported such bas-
is. He told them there would be a
panic such as this country never wit
messed before, he then proved to the
great masses of people who were at
tentively listening TO him explaining
1 VIC ObACl ci0C vi tic QuCSLAOu WHY III
was necessary to support party that
desired to see the wheels of industry
of America all in motion, and the Amer
lean dollar remain as it is to-day. This
| gentleman we learn not only from
newspapers and reporters, but from
him alone. tn AZ he addressed the peo-
pie in all the large cities of this state
and in many of the back places in the
country where the people were unlearn-
ed and had no knowledge of the con.
dition of this country.
Such an able advocator of justices
and rights as DIR. Payne, how can a
state go otherwise than for the inter
est of that which God knows to be true
and right2 Wewant to see this champion
of leaders, occupying the position that
Hon. @. II. j. Taylor is now holding in
Washington as Recorder of Deeds
Hon. Payne is worthy and fully COM
petent as any man of our race for such
an office, and we trust he will be sue
cessful in securing this fine position
Rev. and Mrs, r. @. Fox spent Sun
day at Princeton. w. Va, where the
Reverend had an appointment to hold
IL o'clock services and baptizing. Al
this place the colOred brethren have
no church building, and had arranged
with the white people to secure theil
church and also have the use of the
pool simply because the colored popu.
latlon of that town would not support
w. j. Bryan's distressing platform oil
democracy, that was destined to bring
about panic in every home all over
the country.
The citizens of Princeton, realizing
their interest to support party
which has caused our people to owT
their homes, and furnish plenty of la
Dor to all workingmen. These poor
low-down people who would not lie
. the colored people have their churcl
! after promising them the church ough
to suffer panic themselves. We an
, derstand they have refused to give tn,
, oolored people credit in their store
any more. God will make all thing
right in his time.
Mr.. James Corvette died on Novem-
Der Bird. His health has been failin,
him for sometime, with that dreadful
disease known as consumption. II,
! died in the full triumph of faith il
Christ.
1t is very impolite to see people com
ing up the isle when the minister is il
the height of his preaching, sSampin,
as though they were going to a corn
I shocking. We have noticed it here il
{ a certain church. We hope it will
cease from this on.
West Virginia went Republican b.
