Der 10 Lindsey despatched another let
ter TO his lieutenant, as follows:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept 10, 1890.
J. b. Whitehead, Esq, Charleston,
W. Ia.
My DEAR SR:-Yours of yesterday
has Just been received. | am glad to
hear that Mr. Edwards aud our friends
approve Of our enterprise. | can't see
how any one who desires the success Of
the Republican party can do otherwise
than approve of the scheme, for it will
beyond doubt save not only West Nir-
ginia, but Connecticut and Indiana also.
Push the work, don't be idle or stay
i'm one place too long. When you leave
Charleston | think it best for YOU 10 90
down to Bramwell, in Mercer county.
want YOU to talk with the prominent
men in each locality. | mean the lead
ing Republicans, and get them interest
ed in the work. Get Mr. Edwards to
give you letters of introduction to prom
inent Republicans in other sections of
the State, such rs he thinks will coop
crate with us. and when you see those
10 whom he gives you letters get them
to give you letters to others.
Don't forget my pension business as
you 90 along. Act diScreetly and eau
tiouSly, aud talk to no one about your
business that You do not know to be
perfectly reliable.
Write me daily, and keep me posted
about your movements. &c. BE very
careful to whom you show the letters in
your possession. Yours truly,
ID. MCD. LINDSEY.
WILL THEY CARRY OFT THEIR SCHEME?
One of the first men seen by White
head was w. ;. Edwards, a prominent
lawyer of Charleston. Whitehead bore
letter of introduction to this gentle
man and was evidently well received,
judging from the tone of the following
note addressed to him by Edwards:
WILLIAM SEYMOUR EDWARDS.
ATTORNEY AND COUNSELLOR At LAW.
CHARLESTON-k kANAwHA, w. VA,
Sept. 26, 1880.
j. b. Whitehead, Esq
DEAR SIR-In reference to the vote
of the State of West Virginia, il is only
necessary to call attention 10 the follow
ing facts: In 1876 the State went Dem
ocratic on the Presidential election by
about l.. 600 votes; in 1850 the State
went Democratic by about IL, 600 votes;
in 1881 the State went Democrotic by
about 4.25O votes; in the Congressional
elections of 1856 the State was Demo-
cratic ON a total of about GOO votes. In
the Presidential election of lsSS the
Democrats claimed To have carried the
State by a total of 800 or SO votes, while
the Republicans claimed the election OF
Gen. GoiT for Governor by some 200
votes. From the consideration of the
above facts il is apparent that the State
is only slightly Democratic at most, and
that with the development Of couple
of thousand Republican votes, in addi-
tion to the steady Republican growth of
the State, henceforth the State would
be as Solidly Republican as Vermont.
and as certainly cast her whole electoral
vote of six for the Republican candi-
date for President in 1892. Yours very
truly. WILLIAM SEYMOUR EDWARDS.
What further work Whitehead might
have accomplished in the Quay-Lindsey
colonization scheme can only be guessed
at. for on the evening of September %
Charleston was startled bya sensational
episode described in the hmdrho
gazette Of the 27th inst. as follows:

factions over the issue Of S45, 600 of rail
road bonds.
Authority was given to issue the bonds
provided they contained certain restric-

without any provisions of the kind.
The feeling in Rochester ran so high

deposited the bonds with him for safe
keeping until such times as all contro-
