Another Story that Is Not True

The following paragraph appears in the
Cincinnati CCmDlercidi- Gazette:
"Thr(atS are already thrown ont BY
West Virginia Democrats that il the col
ored people are moi careful TO abstain from
voting there will be 4 good deal Of killing
done
Now. we take the liberty OF SAYING that
there is not q word Of truth in that stare
ment. NOuewspaper, no pectable Demo
crai, no man whose words are worth re-
pCatng, has ever made any threat which
could fairly be described IN the words
quoted above.
More: The Commercial Gazette cannot
to save lis editors life name one such Dem
ocrat, nor one Democratic paper, nor one
Democratic speaker, nor one Democratic
leader, anywhere III West Virginia that has
INDUCED in any such threats. There are
comparatively few negroes in West Yir-
ginia. Those who are there are well known
to their cighbors-ceriairly In the rural
districtS--and can be identified much more
easily than can most OF the white men in
Cincinnati. Thus, US the Democrats do not
desire 10 prevent any lawful voter IRON sX.
ercising the right Of suffrage, and As they
know every negro personally, our Gin
clnnati contemporary story Is false upon
its very face. Ii has no other foundation
than .hc declaration contained in some
telegram from West Virginia that the
Democrats would not slow the negroes to
vote who. 1t was said few days ago, had
been colonized in that State for the purpose
Of carrying it for BLAINE. For the reasons
we have given, such negroes could not pos
sibly vote. SO well known IL 1t that il L,
almost impossible fol a person not voter
TO vote in the country districts Of the State,
that we do not believe the Republicans have
been foolish enough to COLOMBO negroes
there in the expectation that they would be
allowed to vote.
Thus ii APPEARS that there Is no excise
whatever for the Commercial Gazefte'S
false statement. The necessities OF the
campaign have made that journal rcck-
less. II is totally unreliable in what it
SAYS about the Democrats, from Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND down.

The Boston Herald affords another strik-

trying TO throw the discussion of the track.
In an article entitled "Bsck TO the Point "
II says;
"The question ~ an honest admnlstra-
ton Of the aff,ifs Of the General Govern
ment is the main issue OF this canvass, and
one Of the first importance. Governor
Cleveland stands az the most conspicuous
representative OF honesty, fidelity, and
ability In q high executive Office. and his
words upon this subject will command
universal attention. The continual out
cropping Of fraud, thieyery, and other dis
honesty in al department, Of the Govern
ment, taken in connection with the rail-
road, Indian. Siar-rOutc, naval, signal-ser-
vice. treasury, and post-oflice rascalitieS,
show that there is need OF change and a
general overhauing Of the departments At
Washington. And the people believe that
Grover Cleveland is the man Of all men TO
WELD the stiff, new broom needed TO clean
out the corruption at the capital"
The Times and the Herald cover the
ground completely. Keep II before the peo-
pie that the first thing to do Is to turn the ras-
Gals out. That accomplished, the just legis-
lation which is the logical concomitant Of
pure and good government will settle all
minor issues.
