AMaIOne Outrage at West Point.
WEST PoIYT, VA, November ., 1888.
To the Editor Of the State:
There appeared in the West Point Star
of November 1st an article stating that
certain Democrats had been refused per-
mission to examine the registratlon-books
of West Point precinct, and pronounclng
said refusal to be an outrage. There has
appeared card signed Oh. Il. Williams,
REGISTRAR which states that the assertion
of the Star to the above effect is false. As
proof OF the correctness Of the Stars artl-
Gle / ask that the following certificate be
published:
WEST POINT, VA. November Owe
hereby certify that we applied to ii. +.
williams, registrar at West Point. for the
privilege OF inspecting the registration
books OF that precinct and were refused :;
and we hereby declare that the article IN
the West Point Star OF November LIST in
relation thereto is strictly and literally true.

As Williams's card has doubtless been
read by many persons who don't know
him, think it due to myself to refute his
assertions. Since he has introduced Isaac
Digs as witness TO the truth OF his de-
NAL, | append the following note sent by
Dir. Diggs:
WEST POINT, VA, November ), 1883.
c. II. Hart. Esq, Vest Point:
Dear Sir,-On my return to West Point
Saturday night, after an absence since
Tuesday, ] was surprised TO find my name
used in a card from III. +. Williams, OF the
Sd instant, in reply to an editorial IN the
Star. OF November lst, in which Williams
calls upon me to sustain his denial OF the
Stars statements.
Mr.. Williams refused to allow me to
make a copy of the observation-disclosures Oc-
tober Doth. then requested time to allow
me to make a copy OF the newly-reglstered
voters, and was refused. l cannot sustain
the other statements contained in his card
either, as l have no knowledge OF the facts.
Respectfully, ISAAC DiGGs'
In conclusion, let me say that the above
cards are from gentlemen OF high charac-
ter and standing in West Point, and show
conclusiyciy that Williams did refuse the
Democrats right the law guarantees TO
them, his denial to the contrary notwith-
standing.
As 10 mis- assertion that "was q Repub-
lican before / came to West Point" it Is
simply falsehood, and the people OF Farm
vile, the only place where ever voted
before / came TO West Point, know it, and
will sustain me in the assertion.
His other statements are OF no moment,
and need no notice at my hands.

Editor West Point Star.
