Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-11-03


few public speakers who claim
there was no Red Ticket dealing;
all we need say is to call your at
tention to the many and promi-
nent sworn statements in Sisters
vile, viz: such as DR.. M. G. Meek,
VIM. Russell and one hundred
more of the best Republicans in
that city. Which Of the two do
the voters of Tyler county be-
lieve perjured themselves-the
clerks and commissioners, aided
by the candidates who propogated
the scheme, or the many reliable
persons who testified upon their
solemn oath that there were crime
of the blacklist kind committed
and the court spurned them with
contempt? We leave this for the
humble voter to decide. The Re-
publican party as to its practices
does not believe in stealing and
following these pernicious and
Abdominal crimes, hence | am a Re
publican, and cannot afford to
support them, neither do believe
that any honest man can do like
wise be he Democrat, PrOhibi-
ton, Populist, Nihilist, Socialist,
Republican or what-not. Now,
then, 1 wish to ask the CORES
pendent, or the editor, of the Ty-
Ter County Star if he doesn't
think the buying and selling was
heaped upon the wrong man. l
don't dispute there was selling
out, but who did it? 1t was
without warrant, sanction or au>
thority upon our part, remuner-
alton or price, except at my ex-
pense, as well as other good cit
liens of the county such as DIR.
E. B. Conoway, Emanuel Elder,
A. H. Smith, j. B. Taught and
others. I agree we were sold out,
but who got the price? We were
sold by the same mess that has
been dealing with the liberties
and immunities of the voters IN
Tyler county from year to year
selling them and delivering them
out at their own price and then
they will chuckle and say they
are only hay-seeders, anyhow. 1t
makes no difference. They are
good fellows, patting them on the
back. They only know enough
to come up and vote the straight
ticket and be made a fool OF
again; so we can make another
deal in four years from now.
They will cover up all this swim
die and perjury because they
love the party and can not afford
to vote any other. This is the
usual trend of events in Tyler
county. | love the party and es-
pecially it's principles, policies
and it's great workings. l love 1T
so much that locally | can not at
ford to see so much corruption
wrought within and under It's
cover. A good tree needs prun-
ing in order to perpetuate It's
life, and thus have it bear good
fruit. A strong man may in the
pride of his strength and man
hood get sick by reason of iniqul-
tous germs injecting his body. In
order to cleanse that body OF
those poisonous germs it be-
comes necessary to inject poison
Gus medicines strong and power
full enough to destroy these germs,
hence that the body may become
more stalwart and powerful IN
future. The same is true OF the
body polite in Tyler county. Ii
the calm, sober, best-thinking men
of the county will use their own
discretion at this election ana
help purge the party we will not
need in the future in order to
carry Republican election all
this ringle-jingle noises SIX
months prior to an election to
cover up this smuggle and dirt.
l was urged to make this race, as
we'll as was DR.. E. B. Conoway,
Emanuel Elder and others to my
personal knowledge, urging all of
us to still stay in the race, and
at the same time only to deceive
us and our friends. They not
only sold us out but they just
might as we'll break into our
homes at the dead hour of night
