which on the part Of Chairman DAw-
son, of course was not only undigni6ed
but unwarranted, aud which might lead
unbiased people to believe he had no
case. An Governor FLEMING did was
to tell plain straightforward story,
which, from its calm, dispassiOned char
acter, carried conviction with it. II it
contained errors Chairman DAWSON
could have just as plainly and decently
corrected them. But instead he first
abused the Governor, and next discuss
ed matters that have no bearing on the
main question.
The point Is this, which Chair
man DAWSON cannot deny:
The regular Assessor carefully listed
the voters Of Mcdowell county, which
proving unsatisfactory to Messrs. Ell
B1Ns, DAWSON, ct al, they sent their
henchman, DAN CUNNINGHAM, member
Of the Eureka Detective Agency and q
deputy United States Marshal, and U.
S. DAVIS, we'll known in the Second
COMPRESSION District, into the county.
The County Court, two Of whom are
Republicans, Immediately and contrary
Co law appointed deputy assessor over
the regular assessors head, and
ordered MIN TO make new list OF
the voters of the county under the
supervision of DAS CUNNINGHAM and
his pals. This list will, as intended,
contain fully 1000 additional colored
illegal voters. This is the outrage that
has been committed upon fair and
honest ballot In West Virginia, and
about which Chairman DAWSON in his
half column fusilade says not one word,
nor can he truthtuily deny it.
THE national Democracy will seek by
the application Of just and sound prin-
ciples TO equalize TO our people the bless
ings due them from the government
they support; to promote among our
countrymen closer community Of inter
ests cemented by patriotism and ma
tional pride, add 20 point out a fair field
where prosperous American enterprise
may grow aud thrive in the wholesome
atmosphere of American industry in
genuity and intelligence.-GrOrer CleUe-
land.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH JOHNNY?
The chairman Of the Republican State
Committee, WIN. NJ. O. DAWSON, Of
Kingwood, who is industriously en-
gagged in singing political mud takes
time to turn around and face the people
with his hands full behind him and
protest that the Republicans are car
rying on a pure and honest campaign
in West Virginia.
That is just what that notorious cor
ruptIonist, JOHN l. DAVENPORT, of New
York. with his arms, up to the elbow,
in Doodle, says over his shoulder to the
dear people, yet the FITCH Congress
sional Committee, which is trying to
ascertain whether JOIN l. DAv-
EXPORT, as chief federal inspsc-
tor Of elections Of New York
city, has been systematically detraud-
ing the government and helping the
Republican National Committee, has
been unable to get him before it. Ac-
cording to the bills presented by Mr..
DAVENPORT he received in all from the
government since May II, 1889, S97, $40
as supervisor, and S7,7S7 as United
States Commissioner. The committee
which has been appointed to inquire in
to this little matter concerning the
methods Of the author of the Force bill,
has up to date been unable to get MIR.
DAVENPORT to testify regarding the
charges against him OF deirau6ing the
government.
And DAVENPORT, bear in mind, is the
author Of the Force bill aud the friend
Of purity IN elections"
