TnE Register reports the Hon. Dan
Lucas, Of Jefferson county, on hand Mt the
Parkersburg Conference to ask 81 900 "os.
tensibly to aid aEDemocratic club in that
county" The Register is informed that in
fact the money was wanted to aid in the
establishment Of newspaper to be run by
II. B. Lucas and james NJ. Mason. Per-
haps the following extract from letter
Just received may throw some light on
the subject and relieve Mr.. Lucas from
the odium Of the Register. imputation:
Jefferson county needs watching. The
Democrats have. a scheme to buy up col.
ored votes and they expect to get ST 900
for that purpose. There. is. no mistake
about this. 1.,know what Il am talking
about. The Democrats will have to be
watched closely in this matter. 5.4f,.s
ltmay be that the Jefferson Democrats
who are also for Cleveland and reform
did not like losay openly in the Confer.
ence that their. Democratic Club was to
be formed in this way. -. Il
Among politicians Of certain stripe the
purchase Of voters is regarded as lcgiti.
mate trade; and now that the Register has
llsh, on the subject it will probably take
buck what it has. said about the organ Of
the crank fraternity in West Virginia. It
Just occurs to hsthat possibly an attempt
is to be made TO buy up colorcd voters he.
cause the chances Of electing Wilson on a

PnuApELrl'A, September 1l.-In to.
days session Of the United States electri.
cal conference there was a long DISCUSSION
upon the subject OF adopting the word
"Watt" rs the standard measure OF power.
A similar proposition was rejected at the
Paris conference, the Germans objcc,inc
TO further English innovations in Their
language, and the French having no letter
"W" in theirs. Prof. prccce in London,
argued that "Watt" was as much American
as English and there could be no cayillinr
about the terms here. Finally it was ar.
ranged that the matter should be referred
TO committee to report. -g,-.
At to.day's session OF the American Sci.
entists, Professor Morse reported that the
committee in relation 10 the duty on sci
cntii:c books had every reason to feel as
surcd that great relief muy shortly be ex-
pcctcd from the Government for the i'm
