Leeds-Nigh circular resurfaces in 1898 campaign revival
The Leeds-Nigh circular, last seen in 1898 targeting Alston G dayton, reappears in this campaign aimed at Elkins. It is circulated statewide to influence voters and is disputed by the Democratic committee, which argues it misleads old soldiers and suppresses Republican support. The piece suggests Democratic camp plans rely on county committee volunteers to push single-ticket votes while warning Republicans against being manipulated.
