The Republicans came nearer by
their infamous frauds upon the bal
lot box, last year, in stealing West
Virginia, than they ever will again.
Democrats have found the rascals
out, and hereafter will keep a close
eye upon the thieves.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1889-10-30

In this paper we reprint an ar
ticle from the Nicholas Chronicle in
which some acold facts" are given
in regard to the late election in the
Third District, and the Republican
attempt to steal this State. There
are no assertion in the article, but the
stubborn fact, sworn to. This is
the way to give it to them. One
would think from the tone of the
Republican press and the talk of
Republican leaders, that the men
who manage the campaigns for the
Republicans, are saints and the very
embodiment of honesty, when in
fact they are hypocrites and scOun-
drels of the deepest dye No, in
deed, Republicans would not perpet-
uate fraud or steal the State for Golf
and Congressman, would they?-
Reason, the Democrats, and plucky
Gov. Wilson, won't let them. And
that is what makes them SO mad.

Hon. L. Merrill, member of the
Legislature from Writ county, is
out in a letter in the REGISTER this
week, denying most emphatically,
the statement made in the last issue
of the Gazette, that he, as a Demo
crat, intended to vote to seat Golf
&c. His letter will doubtless settle
that matter IN the minds of the
people.

1t is startling to announce that
the Vice-President of the United
States, has descended from his high
position, to take out license to run
a doggery in the city of Washington.
A telegram in this paper explains
the whole matter. Had a Demo.
cratic Vice President done such a
thing what howl would have went
up all over the country? Oh, Levi,
why did you do SO?

HoN. CHAs. E. HoGG,


POINT PLEASANT, w. VA.
MY DEAR S1R:-Your favor of
24th inst. just received and read
read with surprise, as we'll as the
article in the State Gazette, in which
/ am made to say that l was going
to vote to scat Gen. .Goff as Gov
ernor of West Virginia. Now, 1
claim to have at least reasonable
amount of common sense, and no
one who had an idea above clam
would say such a thing. Ineuer said
such. a thing in nay life to any person.
In talking about the Gubernatorial
contest, / have often said that /
would do what was right and that
if Golf was fairly elected, that
would vote to seat him. If not, 1
would vote to seat Fleming-only
what every honest man would do
under like circumstances. The
Democratic party desires nothing
else, nor neither do the people of
West Virginia.
Now, my dear sir, l hope 1 have
made myself sufficiently plain in
this case. l know Mr.. Hindes, and
he and 1 may have discussed the
political question in West Virginia.
But he is simply mistaken in saying
that I said / would vote to seat Gen.
Golf. With kindest regards, am,
Fraternally yours,
l.. MERRILL

Our exposure last week, of the
deception attempted to be practiced
upon the people by the Republican
Executive Committee of this coun-
ty, seems to have riled them, and
our fair eotemporary boils over with
rage and indignation that the REG
IsTER should dare to warn Demo
Gratis to keep away from the Repub-
lican meeting called at this place for
November 9th. Wonder if the Re-
publican Committee have the gall
to think they could fool Democrats
into taking part in their meeting?

The steam yacht Leo LEFT the port Of
Lorain, % miles west OF Cleveland, Ohio. on
Sunday afternoon between 2 and O clock,
having on board the following named gen.
tlemen: John d. Tunte, 1. ID. Lawler, T. p.
Ritter, Benjamin Kline, s. ID. Knight, ID. A,
Lawler, Capt. Sam Root, Fred Pelow, and
an engineer from Detroit. Nearly all Of
them were prominent and well-known men
of Lorsin. The weather was fair, and the
party looked for pleasant run down 10
Cleveland. with the intention of returning
by rail- in the evening. About O'Clock in
the afternoon a stiff blow came up from the
westward and the yacht was seen TO with.
stand II Of Avon point, lew miles down
the shore, by q fisherman at work in the
neighborhood. The weather moderated
somewhat and the excursionists, after put
ting out again for Cleveland, were met q
short distance east Of Rocky river by Mr..
Dan p. Eels yacht winnifred about 7
o'clock in the evening. Captain Williams,
OF the winnifred, says he saluted them and
received an answer with cheers from the
party. The weather was moderate then.
Shortly afterwards the wind shifted to
the northeast and II is thought that
with this unfortunate change the Lorain
people lost their lives. The shore to Rocky
river with the exception of but one short
strip Of beach is a mass of cliffs and is very
dangerous. Nothing was heard of the yacht
until Wednesday NOR Iing, when the bodies
of Ritter and Lawler were found by the life
