BUCKHANNON, VIVA, June 25.-The Re
publican Congressional Committee and the
National Committee are devising ways and
means by which to carry the State Of West
Virginia. The means to be used are many
of them not among those used by u com
mon, honest enemy. BY money, influence,
threats and mortgage shadows over debtors
they expect to get many Democratic votes.
The Chairman, it is claimed by both
Democrats and many Republicans, holds
the Republican party in the hollow of his
hand or in his pocket. Satisfied that the
party will follow his dictatiOn he Is not
afraid to trade their seekers after office of
to Independents or G~reenbacEers, il by that
means he can carry more or less members
OF the House of Delegates.
In a number Of instances offers have
been made tO the Greenback element
which was so grossly deceived in the Buck
harmon proxy convention and later ut the
polls. during the last campaign. The
present preparations are that the Green
hackers shall have the naming of Con-
greSSmen in the First, Fourth and Third
Congressional districts if they will but sup
port the Republican candidates for House
of Delegates. The Republican office seek
ers may look upon this assertion with dis
may and doubt its genuineneSS, but 1t IL 4
hard, cold and most stubborn fact that the
interests of their owner and not those OF
the party, are the only ones to be consld-
cred during the coming campaign. Again,
I'm districts where the vote Is believed To
he close, independent Democrats are APP
preached and offered the support of the
Republican party if they will run for House
of Delegates and not ~ into caucus with
the Democrats. 4 number of Democrats
have been approached in the interior DEM
ocratic counties and offered considerable
SIMS or offices to run and sell out in the
same manner.
The Chairman of the Republican party
regards certain sections and districts rs
pocket borouyhs, of which he is the speci-
fc and residuary legltee, but in this he
will find that he is mistaken. To Sacrlhce
all other interests to his own; to shelye the
onice-seekers of his own party when deem
ed necessary in certain localities; to make
oyertures to Grcenbackers and independ-
ents at the expense of his party, is a natu-
rll sequence ALWAYS where he Il considered

Unfortunately for him. there are many

Virginia will not permit him to succeed.
Among these reasons are, principally, the

The pensioners are also grateful for thu
