bill became a law and the value
Of sheep decreased from $82.577,-
90 to $42,945, 90 or a loss Of $780,
6s2 90 to the farmers of Harrison
county. Think of 1t . and now
they are asking you to vote for
Democrats for the Legislature
who will vote for U. S. Senator
in favor offree wool and debased
money.
When Cleveland became Presi-
dent cattle were valued on the
Assessors books in Harrison
county at S325,627. -Four years
ofl)emocacy reduced the total
value to 1898. 6o4, thus losing
over ninety.two Thousand dollars
a year tothis county. Do you
want some more Legislation like
the Wilson bill If so the way
to get itisto vote for Democrats
Tor Congress and for the Legisla-
ture which elects Senators.
S S
The figures above, dear readers
are all copied from the official re-
cords and the TELEGRAM guar
antees their accuracy. The
figures for the entire State of
West Virginia are appalling. The
loss on sheep was over two mill
ions of dollars and on coal over
three millions of dollars every
year under Cleveland and: the
Wilson bill. Then think of the
frauds at the State capitol-the
Chiffon defclt-the public print
ing investigation, &c. Think it
all over and ask yourself what
possible excuse you could have
for votinganything but a straight
Republican ticket.

THE bonds voted to the Penn
sylvania railroad by Harrison
county we're knocked out through
the efforts of the county court.
If they were valid the county
would not have to issue them
until the Pennsylvania railroad
was completed to Clarksourg.
When it comes to ClarKsburg it
must necessarily go on through
the county and connect with the
West Va. Central. When all
these things take place if the
bonds were not dead they would
come up for consideration.

Governor, it seems was the Goth,

fill his engagement The com
mittee had gotten the date differ
emit and it was impossible for the
Governor to be hero on Friday
night as he has engagements
ahead for two meetings every

R. 7. Lowndes, Jr., has been
assailed because of his alleged
connection with the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad and with the bridge
and the Short Line railroad. AS
a matter of fact he never had
any connection with these affairs.
but he is in favor of the building
of the Short Line.

THAT terrible bridge which the
Democrats say cost, the county
Size can be sold any day at a
profit of three or four thousand
dollars. Certainly agood invest
ment. Compare it with four
years investment In Democracy
in Harrison county, during
which our loss on sheep and
lambs every year was $50 632. 90.
When we include cattle and other
personal property, We fud De,
mocracy cost this county over
six hundred thousand dollars a
year.

THE Democrats realizing at
last that people take no stock in
their absurd Misrepresentation
about Republican candidate be-
ing in favor of the "Old Virginia
debt" and about bridges" and
"oonds," now make frantic eff
fort to tell something about Mr..
Lowndes that IS REALLY TRUE
and that will injure him. Dyes
they admit it was all a Spack OF
lies" about the "Old Virginia
debt" and about the 100 DIS" but
but Mr.. Lowndes can't deny this.
He played ball ,chen he ,cas at
school a fe'o gears ago. Deny this,
if you dare, Mr.. Lowndes ! We
got mixed and confused in other
lies but you mean thing you"
what made you play foot ball !:
mo man who ever played a game
of ball ought to think of going to
the Legislature" If one tenth
of the other things they are tell
ing is true, Mr.. Lowndes might
be defeated. There would be nc
need of adding the awful crime
of "ball playing" to his many al
legged misdeeds. But it is very
plain that the Democratic bosses
have but little faith in their
trumpet up campaign falsehoods.
They must get at least one thing
that is true, and after tedious
and weary search they proclaim
to the world that l.owndes once
played ball."

ing Elarrison's administration
under the Mckinley bill and I'm,
der tile Wilson bill the same
properly declined in value $780,

COLORED VOTERS
OF Harrison County Should Read What the
CIarksburgNsws, Which is The Organ
of The Democratic Party Aasto
a SayAbout Their Race.

4 The word came from Charles
ton that a colored man had beer
nominated and the Ne,os immedi
ately published the following
uncalled for attack upon the col
ored race /;
1.-THE Republicans of Kanawha
county have nominated black Alb
erdeen steer for the House of Dele
gates. As the county IS strongly
Republican the next delegation
will be Enthusiastically ornated with
an image Of God in tar. The re-
quirements of q legislaturman now
are stomach which can digest
gravel anda clothes-pin to fitover
the nose. The negro should not be
mistreated. Fayette county has
always left q black splotch on its
history byelecting one Christopher
Columbus Payne to the House of
Delegates. Every man whose heart
beats u sympathetic throb fer hui
manity is opposed to cruelty to
animals. But there is a line be-
yond which torbenrance ceases to
be virtue Such hypocritcial and
semi-idiotiC Recognition" Of the
negro Is like doctoring q pimpleand
leaving the cancer untouched, or
watering exotic in the parlor aud
neglectingth the weeds in the garden.
The negro should be given his
rights, butte send him to our capt.
toI MS lawmaker is like sending u
skunk to ahymeneal feast.
''The negro is all right in his place
but out oils place he is AN ISron.
ERABLE STENCIL IN E HE SosTRILs OF
EVERY RESPECTABLE MAN, and there
are thousands who are willing to
swear thatHE is ALWAYS OUT OF HIS
PLACE"
The meaning of the above il
apparent. With the Democratl,
party a colored man is classee
with dumb animals and when hi
aspires to be a man he is always
out of his place.

VOTE the straight Republican
ticket. Many Democrats and a
few Republicans are favorable to
trading votes. There is some
trickery in connection with the
scheme. Vote the entire ticket
tor on it are the names of good
men.

THE party that is now telling
you so much about the "old Vir.
GINA debt, and about railroad"
bonds and about what Republi.
cans will do. is the same old pc
litical party that never in all
your recollection told you any
thing that could be relied upon.
1t Is the same party that said
Lincoln was fraud and the civil
war a failure. That SAID the
Wilson bill would bring prosperi-
ty. That said you were prosper
Gus when you were in the panic in
1898. That said if Mckinley was
elected you would have to pay
your taxes in gold and the coun.
try would be ruined. That now
says the country is no more pros
percus than two years ago. (You
know better. That says the late
war with Spain was failure and
says so many other things you
do not believe. Why listen to the
stories that came from this
source /! There will be some new
ones sprung just before the cleo
ton. Watch for them and brand
them at once.

The fright of the Democrats
at the hopclessness of their
chances is pleasing sign to the
country. But there never was
any good reason why they should
expect better fortunes. A Demo
cratic victory is the worst thing
that could happen to the country
at the present time. The United
States has committed no crime
which would justify such humilia.
ton as a Democratic victory
would inflict upon the people.

Plain FACTS ABOUT The
Shameful Management Of West virginia's
Affairs by The Democrats.
Affairs by The Democrats.

sssssSsrnssssssesSsssSsssss
The Republican Legislature
had toprovide for a debt Of over
100000. 90 which the Democrats
had contracted before Gov. At
/ kinson was inaugurated. That
debt has been paid and all our
State institutions have been
given more money by thousands
Of dollars than was ever given
them before. Now every debt
has been paid by the State and
she does not owe cent, and
there was about 5000, 100000 more
money in the State treasury than
has ever before been found there
at theclose of the years business
September 80, 1898. All this
was done by the Republicans
without increasing the State
taxes q cent.
SIS
There are now about 700 stu
dentsat the State University
! while under the regime Of Demo
cratic control the average
number of students was less than
200. This great increase requir-
ed new buildings and more teach
ers but the Republicans have
furnished them without increas.
ing the State levy.
SIS
West Virginia's six Normal
schools located in different parts
of the State never before had so
great an attendance as they had
last year. The attendance increas-
ed fully 80 per cent. 1t took many
more teachers and larger build
ings at each place, but Yves At
kinsons administration supplied
them and your State taxes re-
NAMED the same.
The Republicans in two years
erected branch Of the State
University at Montgomery, a
college for colored youths at
Bluefeld, and are now complet-
ing an Industrial school for
homeless girls and an asylum.for
.lncurables-four separate institu-
tions and still there is a surplus
in theState Treasury Of over a
million of dollars. Your State
taxes are no higher than they
were-it is merely a change of
methods at Charleston. Instead
of squandering the peoples
moneyit is placed where it brings
happiness and diffuses culture and
intelligence.
The public printer at Charles.
ton, W. Va, got caught by the
Republican administration before
his bills were all paid. He was
called in and forced to acknowl-
edge that his last account was
stuffedto the amount of 81, 666. 80.
1t is now known that the Demo-
Gratis needlessly squandered
about $40, 100000 of every appro-
priation for public printing.
Mr.. Chiffon the Democratic
Secretary of State was short in
his accounts over $50, 600. 90 when
the election took place in Nov.
SO. He paid back over S26,0oo.-
on before Atkinson was inaugur-
ated and the Republicans have
lGade him pay SIS, 100000 more
and hestill owes the State Sl2,.
100000 and does not now dispute
the amount.
The Republican party founded
the West Virginia free school
system a third of a century ago
and started it with a four months
term. The Republican party re-
turnedto power two years ago
and now we have increased the
term to ) montes. The Republi-
can party is the staunch friend
of education.
