MR. EYANS.

Rumors have been made current
relative to the old charge that Mr..
Geo. F. Evans participated directly
or indirectly in the hanging of Toll
yer. It will be remembered that
when Post-Ofice Commits
sion, before which Mr.. Evans APP
pGared. when soliciting the appoint
ments of post master, this was one
of the charges against him. The
committee heard the charge brought
up against him with every shade of
elimination, and had Mr.. Evans been
guilty, the committee would thus
have decided. After full hearing
of facts they decided however that
the charge had no shadow of guilt
whatever, and they entirely exoner-
ated him from any such accusations.
We trust that this injustice to Mr..
Evans will be final. Mr.. Evans had
no more to do with the hanging OF
Toliver than had any other OF our
citizens who knew by rumor that it
was taking place or had looked ON
from distance, helpless to prevent

Hon. A. K. Mcclure has made

such unmistakable terms as to call
down upon him the rebukes OF every
one who favors the pensioning ofold
soldiers. In his correspondence to
the Philadelphia Times of Oct. 20,
be says in speaking of certain mug
wump politicians going over to the
Democratic party as making the
first break in favor ofhonest pensions

It is the ayowed purpose Of the
Democratic party, as expressed in
It's National Platform, to facilitate a
return to an obnoxious Bank-note
system, through which in years
passed widespread loss. misery, and
disaster were inflicted upon our peo-
pie and commerce. Upon the aboli-
ton OF the prohibitory tax upon
State Banks we should again have to
deal with all the complications of q
chaotic cyrrency. With great
majority in the Democratic party az
pearing unsound upon far reaching
financial questions, with the eventu-
atty existing of its nominee for the
Vice Presidency, if eledted, being
called upon to fill the Presidential
chair, with the power he acquires as
presiding officer Of the United States
Senate, having there the decision on
any tie vote, Democratic success in
the coming election would. in my
opinion, become perpetual menace
to the prosperity of the country.

MIXED SCHOOLS.
No Such Issue In This Stale.

Democratic speakers and the Dem
ocratie press in this State are beat
ing the air and having a terrible
nightmare over "Mixed Schools. "
There is no such issue in this State,
and no one is proposing it. But
Senator Faulkner and Candidate
MacCorkle and all the lesser lights
of Democracy are declaring to the
people of West Virginia that in the
event of Republican success this
year, in ihort time the children of
the white people will be sitting in
school beside the children of the
colored people. OF course Mr.. Mac
Corkle speaks of the colored people
as "niggers," If he has ever read
the constitution OF his state he must
know that it prohibits mixed schools.
Section 8, of article IL, says: " White
and coIored persons shall not be
taught IN the same school. "
This is very short and very sharp;
of course Mr.. MacCorkleis not so
ignorant as not to know of its exist
ence in the constitution. He knows
also what would have to be done be-
fore the schools of West Virginia
could be mixed as be suggests. The
constitution would have to be a
mended and this provision stricken
out of it. This could be done only
by a two-thirds vote of the legisla-
ture and the action of the majority
OF the voters of West Virginia at the
Polls, This, in turn, could be &C
complished only by an aggressive
and determined public movement,
representing public sentiment in the
state. Mr.. MacCorkle, Senator
Faulkner and the rest of them know
well that there is no such movement
and that there is no such sentiment
in West Virginia to base the move
ment on. Their cry of mixed
schools" is like their cry of 'sfores
bill" and NEGRO domination
there is nothing in it but the desper-
ate effort to save the West Virginia
Democracy from crushing defeat.

LET MR. WILSON EXPLAIN.

II Will be remembered that St.
Josoph's Catholic Church was used
for hospital and other purposes by
the government for long time and
with very considerable damages to
the same. The bill was brought up
in the 5lst Congress, after it had
passed the Senate and was endorsed
for the SD Congress. 1t also pass
ed the Senate in that session but
was not considered in the House.
In the last day of the session as any
one will see by referring to the Con-
gressional Record. page 1885, Mr..
VIM. L. Wilson asked to have 1T
taken up and unanimously consider
ed. Messrs. Martin and Holman, of
Indiana, and Mr.. DUNCAN, of Ohio,
interposed objections, as out of reg.
ular order. All these directors were
Democrats as will be seen from the
Record, page referred to. The points
we wish to make are these: LIST, Mr..
VIM. L. Wilson knew perfectly we'll
that by delaying the reading of this
bill till the very last day Of the ses-
sion the bill could not be passed, but
would have to be tabled. I'd, The
directors of this bill were all Demo
Gratis. Now will some one of Mr..
Wilson's constituents rise up and
tell US what bill he ever did have
passed that be should have a hold
on their votes. Shall the members
of st. Joseph's Catholic Church Of
fer allegiance to a party that has
made farce of O bill, the passage of
which they were justly entitled to !?
Shall they vote by all rights OF equi-
ty and justice for VIM. l.. Wilson,
who has made burlesque of it in
CongressS Shall they vote for a
party whose Congressman, Holman,
Martin and DUNCAN all Democrats,
fatty turned the bill down? We
would not have SO much to say on
this subject, but when some Of the
party leaders here in this city will
impress the members OF that con-
gregation and make it appear that
Republicans opposed the bill, We
want to put it in its truelight, before
they cast their vote for the man
who was for free coal, free salt and
free lumber, and voted against bills
all of whlch we're for the best inter-
ests Of our State, VIM. L. Wilson.

Democratic RasCaIIy Scheme to
Defraud the COlOred Man
of His Vote.

This most disreputable scheme,
concocted by the Democratic leaders
of the State, shows in its own colors
the utter depths of strategy and dis
honor TO which that party has re-
sorted to defraud the colored man of
his vote. We commend it to the
attention of our people, especially to
the colored voter, and would request
them not to become the tools of any
such arrangement, unless they want
to vote Following is copy of the
letter written by Randolph Stall
maker, ex-Secretary of State Of
West Virginia, in his own hand
writing to William A. Ohley. pres
ent Secretary ofState, and Secretary
of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee. This letter is in reference
to an excursion that is to be cotton
up the day before the election, to
get colored men out Of the State and
Keep them out, so they cannot vote
1t is believed that it refers to Ka-
nawha county especially, also to
Mercer and Mcdowell and other
parts of the State. The scheme has
already been put in practice in Nc
Dowell county where colored men
have been furnished with free trans
portation to Virginia, and an at
tempt has been made to lure them
away by advertising largo "barbe-
cue,' over in Virginia, at which it
is stated, "gold watches, etc." are
to be given away at rattle. In Nc
Dowell county the Democratic com
mittee arranged with the Democratic
r. r. ticket agents to furnish free
transportation to all colored men
who would go out of the State. The
letter is as follows:

Ny Dear Sir:-In thinking over
the matter of the employment of GER
tain people, which strikes me now
will be difficult to accomplish, would
therefore suggest simple way
which would have the same result,
viz: The day before take them on
an excursion or pic mic free.
Rations also free. y x Run the
train out OF the State and something
always happens to an engine on an
excursion, and the conductor would
not be able to bring back the train
until late the next day. Of course
they are positively assured that they
shall be returned in time. I've no
doubt this same thing has already
occurred toyou only now you should
see that tits executed. This strikes
me as better and easier than the en-
ployment scheme verbum sat, etc.
