pie In The counties for their free

ever received before
These are not all OF the many
vide and benehcleni things that the
party OF Lincoln. Grant. Blaine and
Mckinley has done for the people OF
this growing and prosperous common
wealth. But " the Republican party
had done nothing more the foregoing
are sufficient 20 appeal 10 the con
science and intelligence OF every
voter OF the State and command the
support OF all who believe in a con-
tinuation OF the policies that insure
the greatest good TO the greatest mum.
Der
AT the primary election OF June (
last We nominated a State ticket that
II as clean. honest and able as any
party mas ever presented for the suf-
Z trages or our voters. The ticket is
made up of men who are in sympathy
with all the good things that have
been done by the party, and some OF
our candidates were leaders in the
movements that secured the progress
sive measures that have been enact
ed. And they are also men who are
I IN sympathy with the progressive
ideas OF the present day and stand
pledged TO the enactment OF progres-
sive legislation. such as a primary
election law. a public service commits
sion. asd other measures 10 which we
stand pledged in our State platform
adopted at Huntington on Nav 18th
last, the most progressive declaration
or any party in the history OF the
state. So thar. whatever our differ
ences may be with respect to the Ma
/ iional ticket. no good Republican can
/ have any valid excuse for not voting
Tor every man on orr State ticket
And We have also nominated excel
] lenr Congressional and local candi-
dates SO far as I know they are en-
titled 10 and will receive the hearty
support OF every Republican.
1T now seems certain that a third
parry will be organized in this State.
and II this Is done I earnestly hope
thar II will endorse the present cleo
tOral. State. Congressional and local
candidates; and I cannot believe that
I ny one who IS q. friend TO these candi-
dates. and who fully comprehends the
calamity that would follow a Demo
cratic victor yin This State. will OBJ
! jec' 20 these candidates receiving the
/ endorsement and support OF any
party.
"A Democratic victory in West Viz
ginia means registration law that
will disfranchise thousands OF legal
voters: Il means a redistricting OF the
State that will have but one object in
view. namely. a gerrymander tnat will
strike the hardest possible blow az
the Republican party and give 10 the
Democrats an unfair advantage in the
election OF members OF the House OF
Delegates. State Senators and mem
bers OF the House Of Representatives
II means that we will again witness
1.-THE auction and sale OF United State/
SenaiC+ships 10 the highest bidder
Democratic success also means the
repeal Of our present tax laws and
going back 10 the days OF a thirty
hve-cent State levy In place Of the
present one-cent levy II any one
