10 hs Editor OF BE REGISTER:
SIR:-The center Of orr State has ever
been modest in its demands for political
prtfsrment and in visw Of cur long rsti
cence, and for manEothsr cogent reasons,
we ask TO present a candidate for Speaker
of tie lower branch Of our Legislature,
viz the Hon. W. Z. Lively. Lewis
county, at the lats election, chose this
honorable gentlemen BY . large and hand
some majority to the House OF Delegates.
Mr.. Liysly's ability and rare knowledge
Of parliamentary rules render him Pecu-
IiaIly fit for the important and exsulted p0-
sition of Speaker. Two years ego the ess:-
tern Panhandle was comPl mented and
hopored by tbs election of Price to the
Presidency Of the Senate, and Hon.
Charles James Faulkner to the ULltsd
States Senate, and the Third district
was honured By the election Of Rowan, OF
Monros, to the SpeAkership OF the House,
and Anderson, of Nicholas, as Chief Clerk
of The Senate, and DOrr, as Ssrgeant-at
Arms of the HoUsp, while the Fourth dis
district had Pey ton as Chief Clerk Of the
House.
1t will be seen from this that the First
district YVES LETT out in the cold, ard as
this lection never had the SpeakerShip end
as we nov have q gentlemen every way
worthy to fill this high position, We trust
that this region of the st ,ts will be recoH-
nizsd by the election Of the Hon. W. Z.
Lively. JUSTICE.

In West Virginia tie mode Of handling

"a CRIME ON THE BALLOT BON"
Tue BieIIigcRcer has bsea having catnip
f's ever since Mr.. ATKINSON began to
lose on the recount. 1t has, with Chris
tian regularity, shook its pupy fist every
morning at the canvaSsing board in this
county and yelled fraud at the top of its
squelky voice. The caption Of this article
was the wild shrek with which the LateW
g'ncsr headed its usual spile2tic editorial
yesterday. 1t howlsd:
when tho Centre district polls closed there
were in the ballot boxes 81 vo.es tO- q W. A.
kinson for Congress. Yesterday there remained
but 80 oGthOS3 woes. The fact Is prtH fUcs evil
deuce that the bailOgS have been tampercd with.
II the change made were in favor Of Mr.. Akin
son ms cad u Mr.. Prediction every partisan OF
PendlstOn'S would howl himself black in the
face aud the REBI,IEI would return 70 lob of.
fee type and triple loaded sh-iekS.' But 1t hap.
pens thai PendtItOu is the beneficiary. and IL is
all right = Until an explanation IL offered
there Is good reason - believe 4 felony has been
committed,
Yesterday in the recount of Webster and
Richie district ATKINSON gained eight
votes. We shall loob this morning Cvec
the columns Ofour consistent cOn contemporary
for some double-headed yellj Of f:aud and
a howl that until an explanation is offer
ed there is good reason to bslievs a felony
has been committed"
How about this? It's a poor rule that
won't work both ways, you know. We
shall expect to see the H~telHgencer's usu1l
shrek Of fraud this morning and the sceu
sation that ATKINSON gained those eight
votes by ~"iieloly" and that the high
haudei" board is counting PENDLEToN

For the past week or so the LateHigeR-
Ger has been every day insulting the in
telligsnce Of its readers aud the readers Of

the bol1 lie that the ballots in charge o!
the Clerk of the County Court of Wetz.l
county were lying loose in his Office accts1&-
bis TO aoy one. 1t became a little holder
yesterday and sail they were piled loosely
in q store-box." We can hardly say that
tais is the worst lie tie IRteHigsHeer has
promulgated this year, because it has lot
yet so far forgotten itself as to tell the
truth. But it is as big s lie as ever even
the Iateligeneer told. The We'zsl County
ballots since the adjournment ofthe County
Court have been locked in the vaults Of
the Court House at New MsrtinsVills and
70 one has been permitted to 90 near them.

people of the country" than to Congress
alone. The President is aware that the
question is a complicated one-one
with which in its details the people at
large are not very familiar. He un-
doubtedly intended it to be just what it
is called-an elementary treatise. 1t
furnishes every man who is busy with
his daily work both argument and an.
swers upon the general question it dis
cusses. Viewing the surplus as result
of overtaxation, he proposes to throw
off certain part of the taxes upon
what are called the necessaries of life,
and to leave substantially untouched
IL ose upon the luxuries. This will
strongly commend his views TO the
common sense of the country, as in
volving no theoretical discussion of the
advantages of protection or what is
called free trade, but simply as meas
ure of practical relief for an actual con.
dition. He says distinctly that the
chief revenue of the country must be
drawn from the tariff, but he holds that
the tariff should be laid in a manner
least burdensOme to the general vel
fare. The message shows the Presi-
dents courage and independence, as
well as his convictions. 1t offers a
practical policy and not an abstract
theory to his party
