POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
Gov. Wilson Makes it the Text of His
Message.

CHARLESTON, January 5.-The mes
sage Of Governor Wilson is in the
hands af the printers, and will be
completed tonight, ready for the
Legislature which meets on Wednes
day. The Governor takes strong
ground against electoral corruption,
and condemns the managers of the
Republican campaign in this State
in the strongest terms possible. He
discusses the danger to our form of
Government as the result of corrupt
elections, and says further that re-
proach has been cast upon the State
as never before by illegal, fraudu-
lent and corrupt voting in almost
every county within its boundaries.
This is so nefarious as to admit of
no question. The capitation of 1884
was 1873, 522, and the entire vote, af-
ter the most active political cam
paign ever made in the State, was
137, 5S7. The captation in 1888 was
IA, 40S, and the entire vote was 1885,
40. This shows an increase ia the
vote in four years of q, S53, which, if
legitimate, would indicate a popula-
ton Of 100000, an increase in four
years of over 100000 1t is certain
that no such increase has taken
place. This shows that while CAPT
tation increased 14,095, the entire
vote increased 1882. The capita
tions are correct and conclusive
proof that nearly 5000 illegal votes
were cast

Ross agrees to furnish 800 for the
arrest and conviction of the parties
who robbed and beat her, and the
citizens are adding what is likely to
amount to quite a large sum of mon

stating that the undersigned agree

viding that the near relatives of
Miss Ross will give one hundred for
the same purpose. Sixty dollars
has already been subscribed, besides
the 800 and others will do so. when
the paper is presented to them. Now
that the citizens Of this community

1t has become very fashionable
among unsuccessful West Virginia
politicians, following the lead of Ma
sons Democrat, TO charge Senator
Kenna with all the disasters which
have come upon the Democratic par
ty of this State in late years.
The truth is-and these people
know it--many causes for which
Kennai is no mole responsible than the
man in the moon have contributed
to decrease the Democratic plurality
in this State.
1t is not absolutely necessary for
the salvation of the Democratic par
ty Of West Viroi,s,s.ss. that Kcnna
should succeed himselfin the United
States Senate, nor would his cleo
ton invite all the party disasters
which Mason's Democrat and its fol
lowers prophesy with such gloomy
relish.
Senator Kenna is entitled to just
treatment at the hands OF his party,
and it is proper that his record
should be subjected to careful scru-
tiny. If he is considered an unfaith-
full servant by those who are charg-
ed with the duty of electing his sue
cessor let them choose another man.
But the cry Of yellow dogs because
they or their canine friends were not
appointed to office are surely entitled
to no consideration in determining
the matter.-HuntiRgt Adcertiser.

CHARLESTON. w. VA, January T.
The heart of Democracy beats high
with hope tonight. Leaders of the
party are assembled here, and a
body of men who viewed the neccssi-
ties of an impending crisis more
carefully and conscientionsly has
never been returned to Legislature
in this State. There is one voice,
one thought, enc expression, and it
is that there must be harmony in
the party ranks. This is no time
for personal seliishness. or factional
strife. The honesty Of our elections
has been endangered by foul con-
spiracy, and the corruptionists must
be discovered and their plans foiied.
Democracy has put its hand to the
plough, and there will be no turning
back. The prevailing sentiment
was well expressed BY Col. r. p.
Chew, who said to your correspond
ent this evening: "This is the time
when every Democrat must sink per-
sonal desires in the party welfare.
l believe 10 member OF the Legisla-
tnre elected as Democrat will re-
fuse to abide by the will of Demo
cratic majority"
DR.. McClung, Of Grcenbrier, was
equally as emphatic. This is the
opinion that prevails on every hand.
The Democrats have majority in
the Legislature. 1t is in their pow
er to right gross electoral outrage
and choose Democratic U. S. SEN
ator, and these interests must not be
endangered by the action of any
man.

AFavorabIe Winter.

The farmers say that they did moi
begin to feed their rough food un
til about the first of this month.
Up to that time there was grass
enough to keep stock in good condi-
ton In addition to this fact, the
temperature has been comparatively
! mild, and the amount of food requir.
py stock has not been so great as if
y weather had been cold
he product of hay and grain for
asst season was above the aver
10 that there is prospect of
our farmers getting through the
winter with a surplus to sell.
There is every indication of con
tinucd open winter. The amount of
cold and heat is about the same on
an average in any single year, al
though it may be distributed differ
entity. When the summer is intense
ly warm the winter is apt to be in
teDsely cold--but when the years
proportion of cold is dealt out to a
liberal extent during the summer, as
it was last year, the supply for the
winter months will be that much
less.
! While there are some drawbacks
"a ''soft winter" it is on the whole
80 favorable than cold one. If
lche winter continues as it has begun,
and the spring is early, we will slip
into spring without having felt the
winter.

The West Virginia Legislature
will meet to-day, the 9th inst
A very general interest will be
centered in the State Capital from
this until mid summer.
The first business of the Legisla-
ture will be to find out definitely
which party can count the most
votes. The Democrats are conced-
ed to have majority Of one or two.
But this margin is so small as to be
liable to the contingency of being
destroyed by the sickness Of mem
Der, or by his being dillatory, or sus-
ceptible to the Establishments of the
boodlers.
Nevertheless, this narrow margin
will have the effect of drawing the
party lines very tight. No Demo
crat or no Republican will be indif-
ferent to the responsibility which he
may incur by neglect or infdelity to
his party's interest. 1t becomes
possible, under the circumstances,
for every individual Democrat, if he
SO chooses, to defeat his party on any
question that may arise.
1t is therefore quite certain that
every man will be in his place when
the time for organizing arrives, and
when his name is called to vote on
any important matter. There will be
some adroit maneuvering for advan-
tage and the party that makes a
mistake will get left.
1t is not to be presumed that the
contest for the Governorship will be
reached by this Legislature within
the limit of forty-five days. And it
is we'll that this is 50. The election
of U. S. Senator is about as much
of that kind of work as is profitable
at any one session.
If the Democrats organize the
Legislature, and maintain their ma
jority, Senator Kenna will probably
be returned He is the equal of any
other aspirant in managing. and it
is altogether probable that he will
carry the caucus, and to carry the
caucus will certainly insure him
the Democratic vote at this time.
