FAIRMoNT, W. Va, November 4-The
persistent attempts of Republican organs
to misreprssent Judge Flamiug's manly
and generous siti,u ie toward the work
iuCmen meets htrs with the coutemp. that
they deserve. The latest falsehcol of this
kind appeared in the psnny-a-liue me
Too" Newsletter this morning 1t is
nailed promptly and effectively in tie fol-
loWiny aft lavit:
State Of Wtst JirgiNia, County Of Marion,
TO Tit:
William B. Brooks, being by me first
duly SWORD, On his cath deposes and says
that he is superintendent Of the Montana
Coal and Coke Company's works, located
in this, Marion county, which position a.
faut has held since abou. January 1st,
1855. AifiIn has eeen the article which
was published in the Wheeling Ners-Letter
of the 4th day of November, 1888. pur-
rorting to be a statement made by ore
Rlbelt Kendall, in which said Kendall
states that he wss discharged from en-;
ployment at said coal works where be WAS
employed as coke drawer and coal digger,
on last Thursday he ;ause he was Reput-
lican aud had pabliciy announced that he
intended to vote for Goff for Cover lor.
Afiant unhesita,ingly denies that said
Robert Kendall was not discharged from the
n
Coke CoDpiny's works, If which he is su-
YeriQtepdsnt, on. Thursday Of lsst week,
| for ths reason that sra Rend1ll has not
been employed by said coal compasy In
( aoy capacity Whatever, at any time du-
/ ring the past two months. Said Kendall
was formerly an employe in said ccal COM
pany's service but he quit slid works on
/ his own accord more than two months
/ ago.
( Afiant has been Republican all of his
life and is now Republican, and brands
as base and malicious fslsehood any state
ment or as ertion that there is now, or that
there has ever been since he became con-
nected with said Ccal works, any attempt
upon the part of the officials of said coal
works t) interfere with or control the pol
itics of any man in the employment Of
said ccal C)mLa1y. Affiant was employed
as mine bcss, at the CASTOR Gas coal com
nsny's Works. in which
Judge Fleming is also interested,
/ for seventeen months before his appoint-
ment t) his present position at Montana
, Coal Works, and he can cay the same thing
az 20 the Coaduct of the ctli i.ls at said
Gasscn mines toward their employees
they in their official capacity never in
terfsIei with the politics of their men, go
far as have any knowledgp
As for myself have never inqpirei into
this pol tics of any man employed or dis
charged by me since l became connected
with either of said c)sl works. have had
charge OF ysr!ous coal mines for upwards
of eight years and have been engaged in or
about coil mines for about twenty-sevtn
years, during which time worked in
Peansylyanis, Ohio and West Virginia
miue,, having been mine bo V at the Union
C,sl Works in Ohio, opposite Moundsvills,
W, vs., for oye~ two years, and a'so oSufer-
interdent of the Mouudsyille Coal Com
pany's works at Moundsv0ls flr about
three years, which latter position gave
up t. accept employment at tie Gaston
mines, aud frankly admit that the tr 1at-
msnt rscetved by The employ es from their
msnsgers.st said CASTOR and Montana
mines is above the standard.
