Wheeling Register.

Republican prevaricators have beer
turned in a new direction recently
The Democratic members of til,
Gubernatorial Contest COMMITTEE,
have been their sole object of abus,
for months. The mouths of th,
faithful have been filled with blood
curdling shrieks of fraud. The blu,
snakes twined around yellow monk
eys, which are supposed to appear
to gentlemen in the first stages Of
nervous prostration," are slight
horrors compared to the terrible
visions, which these insane parti-
sans have conjured up.
Since the committee met in Wheel.
ing, the mysterious influence OF
Doodle, probably, has worked a re.
vival of hope among the organs.
They are now spending the midnight
hours weaving fairy schemes, which
are to result in the resurrection and
triumph of the late lamented Golf.
STRING OF IDIoTIc FALsEHooDs.
The most idiotic of these romances
appeared in yesterdays issue of the
Iatelligencer. 1t is little remark
able that its publication was coin
cident with the return of Judge
Maxwell from his browsing around
in Harrison county. But as no com.
mittec has yet sat on the Judges
lunacy, it may not be right to say
that he had anything to do with the
InteUigencer's remarkable produc-
ton. From that article, it appeared
that the Democratic members of the
contest committee were divided
among themselves; Mr.. Kee would
make separate report; Lively and
Sprigg refused to meet with the
committee; and last, that Henry S.
Walker, that bette noire of Republi-
canism, was solely responsible for
the gubernatorial contest, and he
was now trying to prevent report
of the committee, in order to con
tinue himself in power Gov. Will
son was represented as an unwilling
part of the willy Walkers plot.
Around this skeleton of falsehood
the artist weavcd a romance that
would have done credit to Mum
chausen or Col. Jacob kemple
MIR. KEE DIsFIGuREs THE STORY.
Mr.. Kee is the only Democratic
member of the committee in the city,
and in fat the only member, as
Judge Maxwell who arrived Tues.
day night, mysterionsly hied him
self away yesterday morning Mr..
Kee was asked by Register repor-
ter for an expression of opinion on
the above fairy tale, and his reply
was exhaustive and conclusive.
please say for me-" he said, "that
| am writing the report of the ma
jority of the committee, in the alb
sence of my Democratic colleagues,
and | am sure that when written,
even If they are not able TO aid in
the preparation at all, it will be
satisfactory to them. A vast mum
Der of questions came before the
committee, and it was natural that
we should disagree on minor points
but Democrats on the committee are
perfectly agreed on all substantial
particu ars, and they will have no
trouble in coming together. There
will be only one report from us. 1t
will cover every point and will show
conclusiyely that Judge Fleming
was the choice of the honest voters
of the State.
ANOTHER FALsEHooD NAILED.
Having nailed one falsehood, Mr..
Kee proceeded to the next. II have"
he said, probably voted with the
members of the commit
tee against the members Of my own
party more often than has either
Mr.. Lively or Mr.. Sprigg, but am
firmly convinced from the evidence,
that Judge Jennings plurality will
not be less than 214. In going over
the testimony again, we may find
facts which will alter our decision
on few minor points, but the chan
ges will be very small either way.
| think | can safely say that the
majority report will give Judge
Fleming at least 2l4 plurality.
Il see that there is disposition
to accuse US of delay in preparing
our report. Few people realize the
enormous amount of work involved
in the investigation. l have been
at work almost continuously for two
weeks and have written the report
on twenty counties. 1t is now fully
half done. / can finish it by the
close of next week myself. With
the advice and cooperation of Gen.
Sprigg, whom l expect to arrive
soon, the work will be done earlier.
1t is well known that both Gen.
Sprigg and Mr. Lively have been de-
tanned by severe sickness in their
families. My latest information
from Mr.. Lively came through Judge
Maxwell himself. He said that he
had learned that Mr.. Lively's child |
was in an extremely dangerous con
dition, and it was impossible for
him to leave"
A HINT TO MAXWELL AND MORRIS.
In regard to the other part of the
fairy story that prominent Demo
Gratis we're exerting themselves to
delay the report, Mr.. Kee said he
had never received any communica-
ton from any Democrat suggesting
delay in the matter Neither Gov.
ernor Wilson nor Secretary Walker
had communicated with him at all
in that connection. Mr.. Kee CON
Guided his rather forcible demoli-
ton of the Intelligencer's romance
with repetition of his statement
chat his report would be ready by
5he close of the coming week: sAnd
f the Republican members of the
do what l think they
ought" he remarked, "they will
sign it, too. We could have nice,
pleasant time at Charleston.
THE REPORT WILL BE READY.
1t will be seen from Mr.. KEGS
statement, that the Democratic
of the contest committee
ire at one among themselves. They
ire harmonious on every important
question. and their report will be
complete vindication of the justice
