am not II politician, but a white
voter of the State of West Virginia,
who is thoroughly disguised with
the corrupt methods used in the last
presidential election. West Virgin.
ia disgraced herself at her last elec.
ton, and her downfall accounts for
the increased Republican vote. 1t
was not tariff or no tariff-it was
money alone that did the work.
In Berkeley County, West Va,
from 500 to 600 votes were bought
by the Republican party for trifiing
sums. Poor, weak people sold their
liberty for a barrel of -four, for a
keg of whiskey, and some for 50, So,
IS, and as high as S15. 1t can be
proved without much trouble that
the Republicans had a large Doodle
fund in every precinct in Berkeley
County. In the adjoining county,
Jefferson, the Republicans also
bought many votes.
Money also defeated Cleveland,
not any public issue; and no one
but a fool will deny this fact when
the foul methods of the campaign
are fully shown up. This State will
60 Republican every time that party
has 100000 to buy her. This is a
disgrace, but it is the truth.
In Virginia if the Malone party
succeeds in buying $4,000 votes,
which can be done for 5000, 900. the
State will pass into the clutches of
the Republican Party.
