WHOLESALE BRIBERY.

The REGISTER charged few days ago
that the visit Of STEPHEN B. ELKINs to
Il StIte WIS for the purpOss Of placing in
the hands ot the Republican State Commit
tee large sum of money to be used in de-
hauchipg the ballot ard that Chairman
CowDES, in persoU, placed laIge portion
of il at Charleston for distribution in the
interior counties. Almost simultaneously
with ELKISs' visit . sensational and utter
Iy baselsss story WAS published in tie In
teuigencer, charging the Democrats with
having received a sum Of money with
which to bay votes, which lie was for the
purpose Of covering their own tracks. I'
is the policy Of the smart thief who is first
to call "Policsp' The IntslEgenssr ever
since, in its weekly edition, has been yell
ing stop thisi' and warning" Rspub-
lca1s net 10 believe stories from Demo
rrsts about Republican DOODLE" etc.
Now tie REGIsrER's charges are being
verified and mere than verified. Whole
sale bribery of voters is now beirg at
tempted in this State on scale that las
not been dreamed Of even by those who
know the vast sam Of money the R'publi
cans fave at their command. 10 fact the
very extent OF this rasoality has caused it
to leak out.
Last night TIE REGISTER received vol
untsry communication from four counties
Tucker, wetz I, Braxton and Hardy, all
Of the same tsror, showing ccn'lusively
tia. there is a great percOncerted move
msnt now atOot to buy the yJtl Of West
Virginia for the Republican tick :.
We have almost positive p oof Of this.
Read the communications co in another l
umu. One coatairs the sworn statement
of man wbo reveals a condition of sffirs
in BrsxtOn county thst is almoss beyond
belief. A secret society is there uude'
oath to b ibe voters and stuff the ballot
boxes with Republican ball1ts.
Cinz NJ of West Virginia, do you reAlizs
what this means?

MooREFIELD, O.t.b 29.-For the first
time since the war it is currently rep orted
and believed that large sum of MONEY
has teen placed in the hands Of the Re.
publican leaders in this county to buy
votes With. A man named HoCtan, re-
Gently dismissed from the railway mail
service, is the man who, it is s'id,
brought it here. For several days it
has been reported ttat he was
coming. Oa Saturday last he put
in an appearance, and Colonel Adam
Fisher, John W. Duffy, John Lyons, Wash
Jones (colored) aud John Miller and S.
AmfsRillsr were here 10 Dest him. They
were in Dnsaiiatlon for s)me time. After
the confeIerGe was over it was soon an
nouneed that there now twas $1,000 to dis
tribute among those who voted as they
did," There is DO scrt of doubt but that
this man Hooton left large sum Of money
here. 1t can't bs used In this county by
Republicans for any otter tnan dishonest
purposes, fer thsy have never polled over
250 votes in this county. The Democrats
are on the lookout and if these gentlemen
don't keep shady they will find themselves
in imore trouble than THEY coS for.
They boldly assert that this money is to
be used ID defeat W. L. Wilson for Con-
gress and Gan. Joe Sprigg for the House OF
Delegates. There is only one way to de-
feat either of these gentlemen, aud that
way is 70 buy vctss enough to do it. Can
they do this? We don't balieye they can,
but we know they are attempting 1t.
May 10 * ont almost any day to hear OF
some of these men airg srrssted, for we
inter d to spare none OF them if we can
catch tie attempting to purehase votes
