Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Public Addresses of Albert Blakeslee White, A. M. Governor of West Virginia, During His Term of Office: Including Proclamations and Other Official Papers
The issues are now made up and the political parties have enunciated their national and state platforms and placed their standard bearers in the field. The Republican party appeals to the electors Of the Nation upon a platform adopted at Philadelphia which is a clear-cut exposition Of our party's position on the great issues Of the day. I need not discuss these general issues at this time and place, in View Of the splendid and thorough presentation Of these mat ters by Senator Elkins and the other speakers who have preceded me. My distinguished competitor, a man for whom I have a high personal regard, in his speech accepting the Democratic nomination for Governor, had not a word to say about State matters or policies affecting this great commonwealth. His theme was imperialism and the sunless and shoreless sea up on which the ship Of State, he averred, was sailing. It seems to me proper that in the few words to be said by me at this time, I should discuss matters concerning our own State. The importance of the election this fall to the Republican party Of this State cannot be overstated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
