to a SOLID North to stand by it in its bat

He then gave a plain and practicsl
! statement of the rulnous financial legls-
lation Of the Radical party, and showed
how it had well nigh ruined the country.
He paid glowing, iervid and eloquent
tribute to his mother State, old Virginia,
and alluded TO the throb Of
pride which she in her widow
hood and bereavement would feel
when she found her youngest daughter,
West Virginia, standing up so nobly for
her dellverance from her bonds. he

the State to stand by their colors, permit
no dimlnutiou of the fight, but battle on

nobly gained in October.


We regret that neither time nor space
enable us to do Mr. WALKER justice.
His speech was universally pronounced
the finest of the campaign, and the earn
est marked attention with which it was
received, and the applause which fol-
lowed its conclusion, manifested the deep
interest felt by the hearers in what ne
spoke. The increased majority which
Ohio county and West Virginia
will give TILDEs and HENDRICKS in
November will prove the good which il
will! accomplish.


At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.
HEARN offered the following resolutiods:


WHEREAS, The people of the State of
West Virginia have just passed through
an election in which the gravest issues
were at stake, 1t being no less than an
opportunity for giving expression at the
polls for or against continuation OF the
present system of fraud and corruption
which has disgraced our country for so
long time and made Us, as nation,
stencil in the nostrlls of all civilized peo-
pie, and


WHEREAS, The people of this State
have stamped with most decided disap-
probation and indignation, the party
which has brought such shame and dis
grace on us, by giving majority such
rs its most sanguine friends never antlcl-
pated for the Democratic party as the
representative of honesty, retrenchment
and reform, therefore be it


ResotUed, As the sense of this meet
ing, that the people OF Ohio county send
greeting to the people Of the rest OF the
State, and congratulate them upon the
glorious victory we have gained.


Resoiced, That the thanks OF this meet
ing are due to Mr.. Ii. S. Walker for his
eloquent and able address to US this even
'ng, as we'll AS for his earnest, energetic


nd invaluable efforts in our cause during
ne campaign; efforts which, doubtless,
have done great service in opening the
eyes of the people, and bringing about
the result achieved.


Resotrsd, That the Democracy of Ohio
county further expresse their apprecia-
tion OF the services OF the State EXecu-
tive Committee which planned the cam
paign, and brought it to so brilliantly
successful close


Resolved, That we also send greeting
to the gallant Democracy OF our sister
States of Ohio and Indiana, Congratulate
ing them upon the good fight they have
made, and pledging ourselves to gen.
erous bat earnest rivalry with them in
abatng no portion OF our energies or
determination to carry on the fight SO
successfully begun, until the whole land
shall be redeemed. and final victory be
secured for our gallant standard bearers
Samuel j. Tllden and Thomas A. Hen
bricks.


They were read by the secretary and
on being submitted were unanimously
adopted with a tremendous AYE. They
embody the sentiments of West Virgin
ia, and time will prove them to have been
endorsed not in words only, but in deeds.


After the adoption of the resolutions,
the large and orderly sssemblage quietly
dispersed, and thus ended one of the
most effective and pleasant meetings OF
the present campaign.
