a Few Words TO Governor Stevenson
in Particular and the Public in
General---Letter From Mo-
SEES Cunningham.

BuLLrows. Sep. %. 1870.
To THE EDlroR OF TnE DEMOCRAT. /.
saw sn article in your paper some
time ago, addressed to one William E.
Stevenson, Governor of West Virginia,
requesting him to deny or own that he
had written a certain letter to Moses
Cunningham. 1t seems that he does not
wish to say anything about the matter
but since his pets and puppets have gone
so far as to try to indict me, l feel my
self at some liberty to forfci: part ofmy
pledge to the Governor, although | should
not have done SO but for the damnable
treatment received at the bands of the
dirty pack who were recently sitting as
Grand Jurors in this county. And why
was this attempt made to indict me
Simply because l exposed the rascality of
the vile wretch who is now the radical
candidate for reelection to the Office Of
Governor of the State
The Governors letter to me is still in
my possession-let him deny it if he
dare. In that letter he told me that if
got into any trouble by reason of striking
men of the registrars books, refusing to
register them, or any other dirty work
that might do for the radical party, he
would furnish money and counsel to the
full extent of the power of the State to
take me out of it-regardless of the law
Of Congress. He also intirnated that IN
less the registrars could do something, the
whole loyal State ticket would be defeat
ed.
Let this man Stevenson deny this if he
can. The document is still in my poses
sion, and shall be forthcoming whenever
necessary. Yours. &c,
Mosgs CUNNINGHAM.
