THAT STRAW.
A Story Which Can Be VOuched
For.

The straw vote taken on the Burr's
Mills train, on Sunday evening, has
created more talk and comment than
perhaps any similar one ever gotten up.
1t was exactly correct, AS first stated In
the REG lister, as follows: On the en-
tire train: Hancock, lis; Garfield, 81;
on the rear car, Hancock, IL; Garfield,
Is. The reporter OF the Fourteenth
street sheet denied this, and said he was
told so by one OF two men mentioned
by the REGISTER. The two men were
Major Anderson and DR.. Gasmire, and
both affirm that they never told him
any such thing. Now let him come
with his proof.
The circumstances under which the
vote was taken was as follows: Major
Anderson. J. L. Burley, OF Benwood,
and DR.. Gasmire were sitting together
in the rear car, when Mr.. Burley said he
would take vote OF the ,ar. This he
proceeded to do, and found the result to
be: Hancock, IL; Garfield, III Som,
one asked il he had voted. IL. said no,
and voted Tor Hancock, givinS linn 4
majority of one. At this juacture
w. b. Howell came into tn" car,
and was told the result. He said he
would take the balance OF the train,
and accompanied by two Republicans
and two Democrats he took the straw,
which stood, Hancock l0l and Gar
field 81.
About the bet which the Leadsr men.
tons, the story is as follows: When
Mr.. Burnley proposed canvassing the
rear car, a stranger sitting near offered
to bet Garfield would come out ahead.
The bet was promptly accepted. The
Garfield man lost the wager, drinks for
the party, whether Mr.. Burley's vote
was counted or not, As he bet on ma
joritv.
This then is the story and, ii neces.
sary, three OF these gentlemen will make
affidavit 10 it's truth. Ii is not 4 true
proportion OF the vote in West Virginia,
as all Radicals know and as will be salts
iactorily proven in November.

there could not be persuaded . to
vote the De Golyer ticket. We
were surprised to see that the "Gov,
ernor" had forgotten the high links and
fantastic capers by Which Eliza Pinkston,
dear old Credit Mobilier De Golyer, John
Sherman, Mad. Wells and the God and
Morality party had stolen the electoral
vote Of Louisiana and Florida, in 1876,
from Tilden. After this surprising fail.
ure OF memory on the part OF the Gov
ernor' who wasn't elected in 1916. he
said that Sturgiss was to be next Gov
ernor. We thought ola speech made by
a dapper little General four years ago
from the court house steps, and 30 did
the crowd, and they began to leave by
hundreds.
Hon. Geo. B. Caldwell was then
called for and received with cheers, and
proceeded to entertain the crowd. He
succeeded in so doing until late hour,
when the meeting broke up.

Credit Mobilier should be President.

moved Hancock for issuing order No.

meanness was the Growing glory in that
grand s.atesman's career. We then
heard that Garfield had at one time been
boy twelve years OF age, and the
sneaker seemed to think that
mis- had been a wonderful event in
Garfeld's life. As the general went on

salary grabber, he entirely forgot to
mention those little episodes OF back
salary steal, De Golyer pavement bride,
Credit Mobilier stock and Electoral
Commission steal that illumine and
illustrate so grandly the illustrious char
acter OF the arch hypocrite and high
moral Pecksnitf OF American politics.
Here, with the most perfect contempt
for the knowledge OF the age and the
most reckless disregard for the intellect
of his listeners, he claimed that the
Radicals had abolished the property
qualification for suffrage, forgetting that
to Henry A. Wise. the great Democratic
leader it was owing that the Constitu-
tional Convention OF 1850 abolished the
qualification and gave to the people OF
this State the right to vote regardless OF
property. He did not say that in the
staunch, blind, bigoted and radical
State of Rhode Island the poor work
ingnen are not allowed to vote unless
they are property holders.
After this he advised everybody not
to forget John Hutchinson, and the
Democrats in the crowd shouted that
they wouldn't, and then they began to
yell for Hancock. Just here the Gem
eral rose to the sublime and showed up
with consummate cheek in telling the
people that there was fraud in the
South, because the people down
