The Radical Scandal.

Several days ago the Legislature ap-
pointed d committee TO investigate GER
isin charges against the Auditor aud
Treasurer in reierelcc tothc leaning Of
the State funds
The testimony taken by the Commit.
tee has not yet been made public, but
we arc assured tllat the great scandal
the Radical Campbell hoped 10 raise, is
likely to turn out to be a very small
affair. The present Auditor and Treas
urer have in the four years they have
been ia Office, paid Into the treasury on
account Of interest on loans, nearly
thirty thousand dollars, while the. Re,
publicsns, during the II years they
we're in power, did not pay 10 thirty
cents from this source. Nor did tue
Republican Legislature ever inquire
what became oil this interest.
The Democratic party demands that
oil public officers should be strictly
honest in oil their Official acts. The
Democratic Legislature is but rejecting
the will of the people in making this
investigation aud If il should be Us.
cerIained that any Of tho parties have
acted Improperly, tho party demands
that they should be punished.
The Republican party whilo 10
power would not make any such inycs.

Democrat demanded certain charges
sgninst the notorious Nat Harrison
should be investigated, he was kicked
out Of the hall Of the Legislature.

Hon. Allen T. Cupcrlou has finally,
in a vote If Us to IA, been elected by
the Legislature to serve in the Senate
Of tue United States from West
Virginia, for six years from the fourth
II March, 1915. This result has been
accomplished after long and tedious
light, which has caused considerable
imputience and much anxiety lest the
session should cue, aud the whole period
be friIIered away without anything
being elected. But tue Legislature
has fully redeemed itself and choice
has been made which meets with
universal appreciation.

brOachrd, he was, We believe, numbered
among its opponents. but when tic Uld
Dominion withdrew irOm tue Uuion, he
followed her tCriuues, aud served with
credit 10 tue Senate Of the Confederate
States.
The war over, he returned to his
home ID this newly created State. aud,
retiring from public lie, devoted his
entire energies towards advancing her
material prosperity. But, from this
time, bis political aifinitics and syn.
patLies were cordially and devotddly

that ia, that during the whole courst Of
