desire to disiranchise voters by taking
advantage Of weak technicalities. They
are not, as IS the Democratic State Com
mittee, issuing defamatory addresses
to the people, !" charging our best citizens
with crimes which everybody knows
they did not commit. They are not adj
yertising to the world that thousands Of
honest citizens were purchased with
money, as does Senator Faulkner. They
are not thus "blackening the fair name
of West Virginia" They are willing to
abide by the result as shown by the re-
turns made by Democratic election Off
GERS. They are asking for nothing more
than what the returns show them en-
titled to. They know that they have
gained victory in reducing the Demo
cratic majority to almost nothing and in
elccting their candidate for Governor.
They believe this has been accomplished
by iair means and because Of the just
ness OF their cause.
It is the Democratic State Committee
ably assisted by the Democratic press,
that is "blackening the fair name Of the
State" in the effort to account for hui
initiating defeat.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-12-14

The following from the Writ Tran
scripts q sample OF u species Of editori'
ais that are being published by the
Democratic papers OF this State: 1--WE
are sorry the Republican papers OF the
State have tried to blacken the fair
name Of West Virginia, by branding
with fraud every effort on the part oil
the people to correct the election returns
and bring to justice the parties who have
violated the law"
Taking one consideration with an
other the paragraph is very amusing
In view OF the iact that before the votes
were all counted, and when it became
manifest that the Democracy OF this
State had experienced n Waterloo, the
CRY OF fraud was begun by the Demo
cratic press and has been kept up ever
since, the charge that the Republican
papers are biackening the fair name Of
West Virginia is ridiculous. The De-
mocracy early made the charge OF cor
ruption on the part OF Republicans; il
openly charged, without grounds, that
certain counties were carried by the col.
olonizing OF voters and the purchase Of
Democrats; it met, by its committee, in
solemn caucus and issued to the people
md circulated broadcast outside OF the
State, au address," which from the
first sentence to the last is foul SANDER
upon the people OF West Virginia and
"blackens the fair name Of the State"
its defeated candidates so from county
to county demanding recounts, and
charging fraud; its boards of commits
sioners during these recounts, in de-
ilance Of law, throw out ballots that the
statutes command them to count; the
Offices Of Democratic county clerks are
entered and the ballots changed so as to
defeat the will OF the people. All these
things and more have happened, and
bliadly partisan Democratic papers over
look them and accuse Republicans OF
"blackening the name OF the State"
il they utter protest.
1t isa habit the Democratic party has
Of crying fraud whenever defeated. 1t
never took whipping gracefully or ac-
knowledged defeat manfully. Its history
for the past quarter Of century bears
out this statement.
The charges oifraud and corruption in
this State come principally from the
Democratic leaders and press, and ifthere
is any "blackcning of the fair name of
the State" they are responsible for it.
The Republicans have protested against
the outrages upon the ballot box COM
mittcd in two or three counties, and are
cndeavoring to bring to justice the guilty
parties, The INTELLloEScER has had
no small part in bringing to light the
crimes and will continue to labor for the
detection and conviction Of their perpe-
traitors, but the ISTRLMeRXcER and the
Republican party have never shown q

TIE Point Pleasant Register is the
Democratic organ OF Mason county. 1t
does not endorse some Of the methods
of the party leaders and says so in a
manly way. For instance, see the fol-
lowing from the last issue:
There is disposition to try and pre-
vail uuou the Governor to withhold the
certificate OF election from Hon. Chas.
d. smith, Congressman-clect from the
Fourth District. We don't believe Gov.
Wilson can be inveigled into doing any:
thing OF the kind. On the recount OF
the votes demanded by his opponent, it
wss shown that Capt. Smith had clear
majority Of Is in the District. This
ought to be enough to end the wrangle.
We would like to have seen Democrat
represent this District, but are not going
to join in the cry OF fraud" to help
keep Capt. Smith out OF his seat in Con-
gress to which he was fairiy and hon
cstly elected, simply because he is a
Republican"
