WASHINGTON, December 6.-GeOvge r
Tingle, ex.special agent of the Treasury,
was astounded at the audscity of the Intel
Hgencer in Publishing bogus interview
with him, to the effect that be denounced
the action of the West Virginia Demo
Gratis in the GuberpatOrial contest,
Il have rot talked TO any cor
respondents or reporters since may return
here" said Tingle to The REGISTER corre-
spondent. 'I don't even know who the
htelligencer correspondent is. The only
conceivable basis for that interview
is "a remark l made year ago
which may have been distorted and
expanded. When the gubernstorial con-
Test was first discussed l, with only n
slight knowledge Of the status of sifiiTs
said that unless our people were sure OF
their ground they had better not engage in
a contest, but, l added, if they were sure
OF their cause they should 90 ia and win,
push the contest TO asuccessful conclusion.
Subsequently, ascortained thst Fleming
had been legally elected, and I've been
with him heart and soul.
THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS
"As to the Congressional contests,
know and have known all along that PEN
dleton, Jackson and Anderson were elect
ed, and have always maintained that ii
is the eacred duty If the Democrats in
Congress to protect them in maintaining
their seats at eli hszirds These men
are my friends. 1 am familiar with John
Pendleion's contest anu personally know
that he was elected. am also aware that
Judge jackson and Anderson were fairly

port"
ALE OUT OF THE WHOLE CLOTH.
Mr.. Tingle denounced and repudisted
the bogus Inteuigencer interview in the
most emphatic language as a malicious
misrt p psesentst.on of his sentiments, cay
ing: This West Virginia matter is some
what like oui case in Moniara, where the
Republican State leaders, backed up by
the federal administration, are trying to
steal what the Democrats have honestly
won. In Montana I know that they are
trying to steal two Senators by throwing
out precinct that gave more than one
hundred aOd seventy Democratic mojorliy,
but wo will fight then to the last, aud that
