ALI. Scores a Point

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Presi-
dent to-day appointed a bunch Of Con-
suls, and from all accounts in doing
so severely snubbed the Secretary Of
State who had in most instances
recommended others than those APP
pointed. ALT Taylor, of Tennessee,
plucked one Of the prizes for a con
stituent of his named Thomas Nc
Dermott, who resides at Rogersville.
Some time ago Blaine called McDer-
mott cred headed mick" but as he
stood in with the triangle wing of the
Clan.na-Gael, Taylor found no diff
Guilty in pulling him through. The

McDermott has been appointed, is

and fees, but the climate is not condu.

The Tariff Bill.

The Ways and Means Committee
has finally begun the preparation of a
tariff bill working upon the lines of
the senate bill of the last congress.
The lumber and wood sections OF that
Bill were adopted entire, with the ex.
ception Of the clause relating to rattan
and chair canes, which has been at
tackled by number OF persons before
the committee, and has consequently
been held up for future action. The
schedule OF the senate bill covering
books and papers was also adopted
This action is preliminary, and all OF
the schedules adopted will be subject
to revision when the bill is completed.
The Democratic members OF the COM
mittee manifested their opposition to
the proceedings by offering substitutes
for the sections adopted in the line OF
the provisions Of the Mills bill Of the
last congress, but they were rejected
by party votes.

The West Virginia Contest.

The Times has hitherto regarded
General Goa, Republican, as the hon
estly elected Governor of West Vir-
ginia, He had a small majority on
the face OF the returns, and the re-
iusal OF the Democratic Legislature
10 compute and declare the vote as re-
quired by law, pointing strongly to a
settled party purpose to seat Fleming,
Democrat, regardless of the vote.
Instead Of computing and declar-
ing the vote in the legislature, a COM
mittee was appointed to investigate
the charges OF fraud made by both
sides, and that committee has now
performed its task and presented q
majority report in favor OF Fleming
and a minority report in favor Of Golf.
These reports give the best aspect OF
both sides OF the controversy, but no
dispsssionate reader can carefully
study both reports without reaching
the conclusion that General COTS APP
parent majority was wholly the crea-
ton OF the most shameless and reck-
less pollution OF the ballot.
The Republicans now practically
concede the honest election OF Flem-
ing, as the appolling developments Of
fraudulent negro votes in Mercer and
Mcdowell counties, can neither be de.
MED or explained. 1t is indisputably
proved that not only were hundreds
of illegal negro votes polled for Coffin
Mercer and Mcdowell counties, but
that many of the same illegal voters
voted in the adjoining county Of
Tazewell in old Virginia on the same
day. In view Of the clear proof of the
fraudulent votes cast for General Golf,
it is not surprising that Colonel
Hutchinson, his chief attorney, de-
hclines to argue the case before the
Legislature, and that several Repub-
lican members OF the Legislature con-
fees the election Of Fleming,
When General Golf sought a posi-
ton in the new Cabinent and sum
monOd his friends to press his appoint
ment upon Harrison, there was gen.
eral suspicion that he desired to evade
the investigation of his claim to the
West Virginia Governorship; and in
view OF the monstrous frauds unearth-
ed by the committee, he was wise in
seeking an excuse ior surrendering
the contest. Had it been surrender.
ed he would have ever claimed his
election and that he was refused jus.
tice by Democratic Legislature; but
now he is not only defeated but dis
honored by the positive and over
whelming proof that he had no sem
blance of claim to the West Virginia
Governorship except that given by
unblushing fraud. 1t is well that the
investigation has been made, as Flem
ing will now be given the Office tt
which he was honestly elected ant
without any honest dispute as to hi
title to the office, and General Golf
hitherto regarded as one OF the prom
Using men of the nation, must go into
history linked with one OF the most
reckless and desperate political frauds
ofmodern times.-Philadelphia Times
