Mr.. EDIToR-Having several times
and on seperate occasions heard MI.
Alexander and Mr.. Baker claim that
the precinct meetings, held over the
county on May 21st, 1892, were the
creation of 1.-The new ticket people
on the executive committee, and not
believing for minute that these gem
tlemen could be mistaken, by their
positive assertions of the fact, and
more especially as Mr.. Baker is II
member OF said committee, | was sur
prised when Overheard an argument
on this point between Mr.. Geo Il.
Light and Mr.. Alexander.
Mr.. Alexander, reasserting the
above claim. Mr.. Light asked him If
he knew this o be true. Mr.. AleXan-
der answered that he did, positively.
Mr.. Light then produced u copy OF
the record book, and OF the meeting
held by the executive committee on
the Sth OF April, 1892, towt:
At meeting of the executive com
mittee of the county OF Jefferson. six
teen members present, the following
resolutions was offered by DIR. w. W..
Brown, of Kabletown:
-
held in various voting places on the
2lst of May, 1892, to select delegates
to the Democratic State convention
ut Park ersburg, to the Congressional
convention at Charlestown, 10 the dis
trict convention at Charlsstown, to
select delegates to the Chicago con-
vention, to the judicial convention,
senatorial, and district delegate con
ventiou, said meetings to be held at 3
p. III, except Harper's Ferry, there at
S p. III. Moved, w. H. r. Lewis put
the resolution in shape TO be recorded.
Its passage was recommended by
Messrs. Baker and Strider, and said
resolution passed without dissenting
voice.
Here is the record, proving conclu-
sively by that the creation" was Of an
old ticket origin Drown, Lewis, Ba-
ker and Strider-is there any new
ticket men in the lotD and that they
were the Frank enstein," and, like
him, used ii, as the records show, at
kabletown and Summit Point. This
county is for Cleveland for President,
and Wilson for Congress, by ninety
five per cent of her votes. But in spite
of this, this 'Frankenstein creation"
gives us Hill delegates and instructs
against any man for Congress who
opposes free coinage of silver.
Why these gentlemen should try
to shift the responsibility of their own
action is unknown, unless, like Frank
enstein, they became afraid of their
".NOnSter," thinking possibly the
voters Of this county in the near fu
turn might avenge this great politi-
cal wrong, or they may have heard
in smothered voice of the voters,
You have destroyed the work which
you began; you have promised this
county for Cleveland and Wilson.
Do you break your promises" like
Frankenstein they said, "Begoue!
We do break our promise, away with
Cleveland and Wilson, and the best
interest of the party, SO we be elected
in August The voters say, stand
aside. We are your masters. If
your own creation and worked by
your people, for your selfish ends to
the detriment OF ninety-five per cent
of the voters of this county's best in
terests, we, the voters, say stand aside.

Page county, lost his eyes few days
since in a horrible manner. His wife,
a quarrslsome and bad-tempered wo-
man, after having done all she could
with her tongue, deliberately dipped
a tin full of boiling water from the
pot on the stove and dashed it full in
his face. The consequences is he loses
his eyes. The pain was so great that
Glasgow, in the first paroxysm OF ag-
ony, danced about the room in so ter
rible a manner that son of the wo-
man by q previous marriage thought
he was STACKING his mother and hit
him a frightful blow on the head with
a bar of iron, telling him to the floor.
