1t was the fret OF series Of services which
the Georgian revivalist is to carry on in

Mr. Small sat in the pulpit Of Trinity
Church with the Rev. ID. c. Hughes, the
pirtOr.
1.-THE Young men aJd women Of this & IN.

crown of thsir heads to their heels with
infidelity. This worldly gang Of gay and
careless dndss and dudines from 10 10 81

Such Fraud?

CHARLESTON, November 19.-Ik is re-
ported here that on ths face of the returns
Goff's msjority in Wyoming is 81 and in
Mcdowell ia.
News from EIkhoIn region, Mcdowell
c.upty, shows an appalling state of affairs
there on election day. Never was such
shameless and wholesale corruption of the
ballot perpetrated in West Virginia. The
Norfolk aud WeJtern railroad was lately
extended into the county and opened mp.
Several hundred negross were brought
from Virginia and put to work. Not one
in twenty of these men had q legal resi-
tience in West Virginia On election day
they took possession of tae ElkhOrn
polling places, swors in their
votes and then crossed over
Mo Mercer county, and repeated the
cpsN tiOu. The Democrats have the names
and 4 Sscriptive lists of seventy-six negrce',
regis!5 ed voters of PocahOntas, Virginia,
who VI ted in Elk Horn, and then took the
cars sr Bramwe'l, Mercer county, and
votef there. The negroes we're backed mp
by She Republican lenders, and the ex-
pknses of the outrage were paid with Gofl
money.
The Democrats are determined the
Republicans shall prcft nothing by this
proceeding and the aid of the Courts is
bsiug Invoked to Vindicate ths purity Of
our election.
The Republican vote Of Mcdowell was
1913 in 1854. 1t is now So. Most of the
increase has come from Virginia in the
last three months. The Republican vote
Of Mercer hiss bsen increased something
over 900 in the same manner.
Democrats who are sppIehensivs OF
Gof7s election need give themselves no
alarm. Judge Fleming has been fairly
elected and will be inauguratsd.

FLOODED WITH REPEATERS.

over ESQ Illegal Votes Cast In Tucker
County.
Special Telegram to the Register.
ST. GEORGE, November 19.-Ths fraud
ulent work done hsrs by Republicans i;
becoming palmer every day. The Demo
cratic County Committee has set to work
20 investigate the many cases Of illegal
voting that have baen reported, and this
first step has been to make careful com
parison of the Assessors books and the
poll list. The books show that only few
over 500 were assessed with head tax,
while tie entire vote Of the county was
1923. There is no doubt here now that
most of this increase came from cOlored
repeaters colonizsd along the line OF tie
West Virginia Central railroad. At least
two hundred aad fifty votes were cast BY
thess men in the county. They
were distributed at nearly every
polling place, ard when they had
voted at one precinct, Immediately started
for another, under the guidance OF local
Republican leaders, and thsn voted sgain,
until the roucd5 were made.
The scheme showed thstit had been we'll
and carefully planned. Democrats were
unprepared and could not combat ths on
slaught of repeattrs. At some points
money was used lAvishly to iDducs Demo
Gratis to aid iu and abet the fraud. 1t wss
toe most shameful piece of corruption ever
planned and carried out in this section Of
the State.

Secretsry Bayard ia already laying the

Attorney General Garland will retire to

probab y laid on the shelf, so fa- as the
Senate is concerned, and will probably
have to come back to Washington as
memte- of the lower branch, if he comes
back at all.
OF the three Cabinet officers who were
taken from the Ssnste-Lamar, Bayard
and Garland-Lsrmar is the only lucky
one, as he will either be an active or a re-

A Corruption Fund Of $4,000 Out OF His
Own Pocket.
WASHINGTON, November 19.-There is
every reason to believe that the Rspubli-
cans spent q large sum Of money in West
Virginia during the campaign SO recently
ended. Some psOpls, who claim TO be well
posted, declare that fully $500, 600, was
sent to the State by tie Republicans, but
this sum is probably far in excess Of the
actual amount. 1t is known, however,
that money was freely used by the Repuh-
ieans, and gentlemen who are well
acquainted with affairs in West Virginia
say that Gsn. Nathan Gcff expended per-
sonally not q cent less than $25, 600. He
is wealthy man. He married into one Of
the wealthisst families In the State, and,
in addition to this big fortune, he is the
manager CT two estates, from which the
income is enormous, as the property
is very valuable. Gen. Gcff was
not figuring 10 be elected Governor, al
though he was the candidate Of the Rs
publican party for that Office. The gov
ernorship pays only 81, 800 per year, aad
Gen. Golf was not anxious to tuck him
Self way for four years at the Stats Capt.
tol. He was playing for the Senate as the
successor of Mr.. Xenna. He was engaged
in trading game. He was not caring
whom he traded of, just so he carried the
Legislature and obtained the ambition of
his lifs-the senatOrsbip. The Democrats
of West Virginia had big odds to plsy
against, and the wonder is that they won
anything at all, considering how much
money wss used against them. The tariff
sc4re was worked heavily also, but it didn't,
tcare many people. The Wheeling dis
trict-the portion of thu State where there
are SO many protected industries-cameI
up with gains instead Of Losses for the
