The New York Herald, whose pre-
election prognosticatiou ase noted for
their accuracy, last Sunday gave as
certain the election of Davis and
Brown, The Democratic candidates IN
the first and second dis. ricts of West
Virginia, and the fourth district as
doubtful. The other two as republican.
If these predictions come true it would
be all the democracy could hope for.
The state has been so long IN the

which has grown so strong upon OIL
cl9l graft and greed, that It has look

possible 10 break its letters but when
the people make up their minds for a
change they are apt to upset all calcu-
lations.

a movement was made In two o!
the district of the county to have the
stock aw submitted to the voters but
those opposed employed council and
went before the circuit court and had
the ballot commissioners enjolned
from putting the stock law on the
ballot in those districts.
The law is very good thing for the
sections where all the Hand is fenced
and farmed but for those who live ia
the mountain districts the law is a
hardship. They generally own large
tracts Of uninclosed land and the law
prevents them from getting the bene-
fit of the pasture and acorns 1t seems
TO us that there ought to be some ex-
emptlon IN the law for the people who
are thus situated.

The assessment valuation OF the pro-
perty, both real and personal, of Berke-
ley county, This years is one of the
most damnable outrages ever perpre-
trated upon any community. The
grossest Partially characterlzes the
whole valuation. Money, money is
the slogan and money must come, but
III such way that the Interests of the
republican party may not be jeopar-
dized. In consequence the nonresi-
dents, widows aud orphans are the
choice victims OF the appraisers.
These classes have no votes and can
do the party no harm Democrats who
adhere to their ticket are another class
which suffers from the unjust inqual-
lty Instances without number ale
readily pointed Uut to prove this as :
seItion. One mans land Will be founo
assessed at Sl25 per acre and his neigh
boris; and, probably better land and
lying right by lis side will be asses sed
at $40 per acre Many of these Unequal
tues the assessors repudiate, many
people who appeared before the Board
OF Equallzatio and Review convinced
Oh al least thought they convinced the
board, 1f Unqualified against them.
buO when they went TO pay their taxes
found that instead of any equalizatic n
the intqualited had been in cres sed.
We can hardly think the men who
composed the board would work such
deception on their fellow citizens, bL t
II has been done by somebody some
where. No taxpayer can tell what his
taxes Will be this year by the original
valuation for there have been a general
foicing up by every fellow who has
ha4 access TO the books. We are no,
tie originator of these charges. They
have been called 10 our attention by
republican taxpayers. Before going to
vote we advise taxpayers to investigate
what their taxes viii be for this wear.
There are some whose taxes are
aboat what their were last year and a
few Will be found a bit lower perhaps
bat the lendancy has been upward
! and the classes which we have men.
toned above are the ones upon whom
the burden falls heaviest.

There is going to be nothing more
important to the voters before the
next West Virginia legislature than
that of the Virginia debt and the
voters at the coming election should
lose no opportunity TO hedge about
their interests in the selection of rep
resentattves in that body. So long as
the democrats had control OF The state
there WAS no movement towards sad
ding this enormous debt. on The peo-
pie but since the republican machine
has had control there has ueen steady
drift toward opening up the matter
and BOW it seems almost certain that
tue courts will impose debt of from
ten to thirty millions of the old Viz
gina debt on us. 1t seems safe in
guessing that some of the members OF
the republican machine IN The state
have ltheir pockets loaded with the
Virginia certificates.

10 The oters Or The Second Congressional
District OF West Virginia.

Il have intended all along to devot
the last two weeks of this campaign to
tour through just as much Of this
District as it was possible for me to get
into, but on Monday the 24th inst ,
when starting TO take up the work in
Jefferson County, / met with serious
aatombile accident, from which | am
suffering and am yet unable TO leave
my room or walk a single step. Itnow
seems that it will be utterly i'm possi-
BILE for me to recover in timet to go any
where; should be so fortunate, how
ever, as to get out sooner than expect
l shall gladly go anywhere that can
in the interest of the cause. Therefore
inasmuch as fear | will not be able
to see the voters, am forced to take
this as my Only opportunity of reach
ing them.
My purpose in going out was to ask
my friends everywhere 10 rally loyalty
to the support of Hon. VIM. y.
Brown, our standard bearer for Con-
gress, and l want to say in this way
that / cannot urge upon you too
strongly, the Iimportance of dong
your whole duty in this respect. l
want 10 see him elected, not only be-
cause we honor him ani admire the
gallant fight that he is making, but
because he stands for the SAFE princi-
pies of government that we believe in
He stands pledse for reduction of
the Tariff, while his opponent is
pledged for revision, which we have
been taught by recent legislation,
means an increase instead of reduc-
ton. He is opposed to "Cannonism'
and when elected, will vote against
Joseph q. Cannon for Speaker, who
has done more to clog the wheels Of
progress than anv one in TIE couatry.
He stands squarely committed to a
policy that Will insure reduction in
the cost of living and price of the ne
cessities of life.
| feel that no word of mine is neces-
sary to the Democrats along this line,
for they know their duty, and will GER
talnly do it, and the only further eX-
hortation that | would give them, is,
b. sITe to go 10 the polls on the 18th Of
November, aud see that every other
Democrat does likewise. But to my in
dependent Republican friends, scat
tered throughout the District, many
Of whom houored me with their Isup
port two ears ago, / would appeal to
lay asiue craftsmanship, and cast your
ballot this time regardless of parties,
regardless of past political faith, but
for the protection of your own home
auu fireside, and i'll the interest OF
yourself and family, and to do so it is
necessary to vote for Junior Brown
With sincere and lasting apprecia-
ton of the honors that have been be-
slowed upon me by the people Of this
District, and again expressing my re-
grets in not being able to meet you
face to face in this campaign, remain
Yours very truly,
b. H. Hiner.

Go to the polls carly and cast your
ballot while the day is young and then
remain there for a while and see ifyou
elnnot prevail on some Of your friends
to vote right. Take a democratic
neighbor with you when you g to the
polls. See that your democratic friends
and neighbors all vote. There is gong
to be landslide towards democracy
and you will want to have your share
in the glorious victory.
