The hanging of Garner at Bluefield
". Va, is the sixth lynching that
has occurred in this State within the
past sixty days. and closes fearful
record of crime in West Virginia since
the opening of the present year.
For the first six months of 1889, the
record shows that no less than sixty
two murders have been committed
in the State, and that the only hang.
ings have been the result of summary
sentences imposed by Judge Lynch
and carried out by lawless mobs. II
is not pleasant fact to contemplate,
nor does it reflect credit upon the
State but it is true and the truth must
be told.
Law-abiding citizens are looking
on hereford with horror. In the light
of history the law seems powerless to
bring the criminals to justice, and the
most that any one has to fear who
comes to trial is short sentence in
the penitentiary, with fair prospects
of being pardoned in few years.
Indeed, the records of pardons in the
year past has been nearly as long and
disgraceful as the records of crimes.
and no less than twenty dangerous
criminals, three of them lnurderers
have been pardoned. OF cutting.
fighting, burning, and general lawless-
ness there is no end.

Foote, of the Attorney Generals

on official business. Mr.. Black is
one of the leading republicans in

for Republican success,-indivldual

worker, too, for he wants nothing
himself and is willing his friends
should have all they can get. Such
men the Republican workers will not
forget, and are always glad to meet,
as was the case on Monday,-many
Republican leaders. calling on Mr..
Black, for all of whom he had a
pleasant and assuring word. If all
Republicans will follow his example,
putting their influence to work for
success of their principles, this dis
trict will send Republican to Con-

Black has helped to keep his party
in fighting order in Jefferson for
many years, and when put on the
ticket at the last election he worked
entirely for the success of those
whom he thought had some chance
Of election, yet he ran ahead ofsome
of the strongest men on his ticket.
This shows his popularity. He is a
good worker, with paying practice,
with no thought but for the success
of the Republican party in the Sec
