rF,pa The Baltimore Dayof lW,]
Vest FjrgiHia Republican Methods

The methods relied upon by the RePub-
lean politicians to carry the mountain state
of West Virginia for Blaine, Elkins and the
party OF great moral ideas-and great IN
moral practices-are we'll illustrated by two
little pieces oipaper and certain information
that have come into the possession OF me
Day.
Edward \. Williams who once figured Is
q LAWYER in Baltimore city, becoming inter
e,ted. as true patriot should, IN the great
struggle between the two parties, went 10
West Virginia recently 20 survey the Ield,
to ascertain the strength and to study the
methods of the two parties, being also pos
sibly animated with a desire to do some
thing for his country.
On Tuesday of last week he went to Jas.
d. Butt, prominent layer and the lead
ing Republican Of Harper's Ferry, W. Va.
and proposed TO ring a number of voters
from MARYLAND TO Harper's Ferry, where
they should vote the Republican ticket.
Butt took the matter under Amusement.
The next day the Republican meeting was
held in Harper's Ferry and Butt had III op-
portunitv TO consult with other Republican
leaders. On Thursday he had another, con-
ference with Williams, and the latter said
that he could obtain fifty colonists from
MARYLAND and agreed to deliyer them IN
Harper's Ferry on the election day, where
they were to cas-, at least one SOLID hepuO-
hcan vote apiece. In return Nh. Williams
saws he received a paper, which read as
follows:
HarperS Ferry, October 9, 1SSl-I hereby
agree 90 pay 10 4. i. " iligmS the sum of two
dollars for every vote he will influence - vote
the Republican ticket. JAMES d. Butt
Accompanying this was a draft which
Williams says was to pay for the transPor-
tation of thevoters from abroad The paper
is somewhat irregular and appears 70 haze
been so written that in an emergency it
could be repudiated. 1t reads as follows
S5O-Octobcr 9, l6Sl-ray 10 the order Of e.
4. Williams fifty dollars. Value received and
'''' J,uEs D. Brrr.
70 WI. Cowden. Wheeling, W. Va.
Across the left face of the draft was writ
ten with an indelible pencil Excepted,
WI. c." The draft is made upon a regu-
lar printed form. The signature James
ID. Butt" is in the same handwriting as the
signature to the contract for the voters, and
as is also the body of the latter, though the
draft seems to nave been filled out by some
other writer The W J. Covdeu 20 HON
the draft was directed is possibly W. J. W.
Cowden. the chairman Of the Republican
State Executive Committee. Mr.. Cowden
has been very active in the campaign. He
is lawyer of Wheeling, W. Va. Both
papers are now at the Office of The Day,
where they may be seen. 1t is not now
likely that the draft viii be paid. aud the
brilliant scheme of the indeiatigable as.
Butt will probably fell through.
