Republican Rule in West Virginia A Record of Growth
A statewide address argues twelve years of Republican governance boosted population and wealth, expanded state institutions, raised school attendance, and increased university enrollment. It credits tax reform, new laws, and major public works to the Republican program while contrasting Democratic governance from 1872 to 1897. The message claims substantial investment in miners’ hospitals, asylums, universities, and preparatory schools, with notable building programs and increasing per capita education funding.
