Hon. HI. s. Wilson.

No man is doing better work for
the election of Hon. George I.
Neal, than Hon. 81. S. Wilson, of
Parkersburg, who was his most
formidable opponent at the Spen-
Ger convention. He is the sort of
Democrat the people love and re-
we're, and one whom the Democ-
racy will remember.

The Philadelphia Ledger, one of
the most conservative of the indie
pendent Republican papers, is of
the opinion that the Republicans
are in grave danger of losing the
House of Representatives. in the
coming election. The Democrats
have to gain but twenty-six votes
in order to secure majority. The
Ledger thinks the gross maladmin-
istration of the War Department
has generally incensed the coun-
try, and it is not surprised "that
the shrewdest, most astute Repub-
lican managers are disturbed by
the fear that the Democrats may
gain even more than the twenty
six districts necessary to give them
majority in the House"
There is the best of feeling
among the Democrats throughout
the county over the prospects for
the success of the D@mocratic
county ticket. The democrats
realize that it will not be a walk
over, and that it will be necessary
to get out every vote in order to
insure victory, but they all say
that the full strength of the party
will be polled and that thereby sue
cess will be assured.
The war is ended and not dol
lar of money raised by the big
bond issue has been expended.
The many million dollars interest
will have to be paid by the people
just the same. Those opposed to
the goldbug policy asked that no
bonds be sold until their proceeds
were needed, but of course were
coughed down as fanatics.
Where is that New Constitution
that our Republican brethren were
going to give us? 1t cost the State
over $1,000. What have we to
show for itP Do you want more
of that kind of work? If SO, elect
another Republican Legislature.
They swallowed up this $1,000 and
no doubt will be ready for more.

decrease the price of corn and in
crease the price of wheat to close
the mills against corn.

The general elections in Novem-
Der will. doubtless, be largely af-
fected by the absence of soldiers
from their respective States, and
especially of soldiers which have
no law authorizing them to vote
in the field. Only a few states
have such law, and the election
for these among the soldiers will
have to be conducted at Manila,
Hawaii and the various other
places at which they are stationed,
thus giving our elections very
wide range. The absence of the
soldier vote will be effectually felt
in some of the close States, but
it is utterly impossible to predict
the effect, as there is no definite
information as to the real political
complexion of the volunteer army.

Hon. Geo. L. Neal,

The Democratic candidate for
Congress, recently addressed some
letters to colored voters in, and
around this town,-colored men
whom he personally knew, solicit
ting their votes. One of these let
tiers fell into the hands of the edi-
tor of the State Gazette, and he
became infatuated and flew into
such rage that it gave him
spasms. because a Democratic can
didate dared to address letter to a
colored man or solicit his vote, as the
colored man is considered by said
editor chattle of the Republican
party, and treason on the part of a
colored man who would vote for a
Democrat. Colored men do the
Republicans own you, to be driven
to the polls, to vote as they
dictate? Could they carry this
county, this State or any other
State in the Union, if it were not
for your votes?
