THE CUISINES" METHODS
Pursued by Some of the Competitors of the
W. VA. Tobacco Company.

A day or two ago the REGISTER pub
lishcd, as a matter OF news, clipping
from the Cincinnati Enquirer, purport-
ing to be a special telegram from
Washington City, in which it was stated
1.-THE Attorney General OF the Postoffice
Department" had decided that the sys-
tenn of selling Red Letter Tobacco was
gift enterprise and in violation of the
lottery law. 1t appears that this in
nocent looking item was by no means
what IL appeared TO be on its face, it
never having been telcgraphcd from
Washington City, but on the contrary
eminated from the Office OF ). III. Parvin
~ Son, advertising agents, and was sent
out to a number Of journals, and paid
for by business rivals OF the Red Letter
Tobacco Company for the express pur-
pose of iniuring the business OF that
corporation.
Yesterday the management OF the Rcd
Letter Company received the following
telegram:
"READISG, PA, January g.

an interest in hurting the standing OF
the Red Letter, as the cost would run

log Of the Executive Committee Last
Night
In an interview with Judge George
E. BOYD, one of the aspirants for the
Democratic nomination for the office oil
Mayor, at Saturdays primaries, that
gentleman said;
IL have determined to employ no one
to work AZ the polls in my interest,", but
shall content myself with enclosing
ticket to voters through the mails. The
law permits any person to work Tor
himself, or for another. for office, but
makes it misdemeanor, punishable oy
fine and Imprisonment, for any candi-
date for Office TO hire any person to
work for him. Though | might have
violated this law without fear OF pun
ishment. yet | would rather lose the
nomination for the office OF Mayor than
obtain il by illegal means, especially as
the office is, in part, judicial in its
character.
The Democratic City Executive Com
mittee net ut the Democratic headquar-
tiers on Twenty-tirst street, last even
ing. and made the final arrangements
for othe primaries Of Saturday. The
committee passed a resolution 10 meet
1.-THE Office of the City Clerk, at the
City Hall, Saturday evening, TO receive
the returns OF the primaries. and ask
that all ballot boxes be sent there as
soon as the votes are counted. The
committee drew lots for the order in
which the names of the candidates
should appear on the city ticket. with
the following result, Mayor, George
E. Boyd. c. w. Seabright; City Ser
geant, John IL. Clarke, Louis Del
brugge, Porter Smith City Clerk,
Thomas f. Thoner Wharfmaster,
John Crockard.
There were a number OF destinations,
Yesterday. from gentlemen nominated
for Council in the several wards. Those
obtainable were as follows: Third ward,

Stifel; Fourth ward, Executive Com
mittee, Andrew Mckinley, Council, A. L.
Young; Sixth ward. Council, James G..
WHITE, John Coleman, Thomas Killeen,
y. c. Reister, Jr.
The city political pot is beginning to
boil in great shape, and little else is
talked about around the City Hall and
in the saloons. A good many little bets
have been made, during the past couple
of days, on the result of the Democratic
primaries, the Mayoralty being an espe-
cial paint of dispute. Messrs. Dunning
and Devine, OF the Republican ticket,
are meanwhile electioneering with both
hands, and once the Democratic is COM
pleted the fight is going to be short and
sharp.
Mr.. w. II. Handlan has been placed
on the Third ward Council ticket, for
First Branch, TO fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the decination OF Louis +.
