Tho Democratic state committee is
indeed in desperate situation when it
resorts to a method such as that de-
scribed in our Charleston dispatches
this morning.
It is said that on the eve of the cleo
ton it will be circulated among the
voters that Mr.. Davis, the Republican
candidate for governor, is committed to
proposition to establish mixed schools
in this state. 1t is proposed to do this
in a way that will excite race prejudice
and Iniure his chance of election. Mr..
MacCorkle, the Democratic candidate,
has already been trying to make his
hearers believe that the Republicans
would establish mixed schools in West
Virginia.
The INrELIIaENcER has already called
attention to the fact that the story is
absurd. In thefirst place, mixed schools
are expressly prohibited by the consti-
tuition OF West Virginia and it is i'm
possible for any party to establish them.
In the second place, nobody in the state,
neither Mr.. Davis or any other man,
white or black, is in favor of such a
measure,
1t false issue set up by Mr., Mac,
Corkle to knock out. It is SO silly as to
scarcely demand attention.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1892-10-28

Why all this rant in the Register about
a Republican conspiracy to iniure Mr..
Franzheim2 The Register knows, as
we'll as Mr.. Frauzheim does, that the
rumors concerning his connection with
the gas office were in circulation for
months, and that they we're not set go
ing by Republicans, but by Democrats
who opposed his nomination for sheriff.
Mr.. Franzheim owed it to himself to
promptly run these stories down, and,
il they were unfounded, stamp the life
out OF them. There were two ways to
do this. One was to publicly vindicate
himself through statement from the
gas trustees; another was to demand an
investigation by Council. He has, after
e long delay, for which no ono but
himself was responsible, chosen the
latter course. Now, that he
has done go, let tho investigation be
held, in accordance with his request,
without delay. 1t should be full and
fair in justice to all concerned.
Talk about "conspiracies," political
schemes" &C., does not vindicate Mr..
Franzheim. He has asked that it be
done in different way. and, ii the
Register is sincere, it will assist him to
get a thorough investigation of his ad-
ministration in the gas office at once.
In reference to the matter, Mr.. A. j,
schultze, a member of the gas board,
writes communication to the papers
in which no takes exceptions to an
article on the subject which appeared
in tho INTEtLraEScEa Mr.. schultzo sus-
gests that the INrELLIGENcER have audi,
tor Wilkinson make complete state
ment to the public. The INrgLLIGRNcEH
appreciates Mr.. WilkinsOn's position
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1892-10-28


fdent that the Register, if it is honest,
will agree with it, that there is not a
county or town in West Virginia where
a system of repeating by either party
would be possible. This fact stamps
the story sent out by the Democratic
committee as an absurd falsehood. 1t
Is like all other stories emanating from
the same source regarding Republican
frauds, and is circulated for the same
purpose. The Democratic committee is
presuming on supposed credulity of the
people. 1t will find the people more
intelligent than it gives them credit for
being.

Desperate West Virginia Managers.
The desperate state Democratic man
agers, who have their headquarters in
Charleston, have resorted to tactics
which are as dishonorable as they are
unwise. It is no secret that in the
southern tier Of counties they have ar
ranged for wholesale intimidation OF
colored voters on election day. To
divert attention from this rascally plot
they have sent out warnings to Demo-
Gratis to be on guard and prevent Re-
publican frauds.
The people will not be deceived by
this attempt to cover up dishonest
methods, especially when it comes from
men who swindled their lawfully
elected governor out Of, his scat, robbed
ballot boxes and countenanced the
tive" infamy. What fine set to
charge political fraud against Repub-
lican managersl
The latest warning" which the
band OF conspirators who propose to
repeat the outrage OF 1883 IN West vir-
ginia have sprung upon the public was
in the Register in the form OF Charles
ton dispatch yesterday morning. Here
it is, in part:
The, following y quotation from letter re- re;
celved in this city to-day from gentleman OF
prominence
''wAsuINn7oS. D. C. October 25, 1892.
Some ten or twelve well known Republican
toughs passed through here this morning on
their way to Wheeling, Grafton and other points
in your state 10 take charge OF the men who arc
expected to do the repeating on election DAY.
This confirms the stGtement made to me In
Baltimore u few days ago, By gentleman who
was u Republican, but who Is now working for
Cleveland"
The gentleman who writes this letter Is we'll
known, and there Is no question but that these
toughs and thugs have been sent into this state
for the purpose named.
Democrats should locate and spot them In
evcry section OF the state. and see that they are
thWarted III their nei1rious attempt 10 corrupt
our ballot.
The INrELMGESoRR copies the above
that its readers may have an idea Of the
class of absurd stories circulated by the
Democratic committee to detract atten-
ton from their own schemes. The
Washington telegram above quoted is
too absurd for belief by any one of
ordinary common sense. 1t bears a lie
on its face.
Every citizen of West Virginia who
knows anything, knows that it would
be practically impossible for repeaters
to be used by any party in this state.
The INFEIIIoENcER believes, tand is con-

Ex-speaker Reed made a striking al
fusion to tho practical benefits Of
Republican protection to lsbor when he
said in his Pittsburgh speech:
make the assertion, and challenge contra.
diction, that the wages to-day OF the man who
labors with either muscle or brain Is 80 per cent
greater than It was In 1860; and l assevcrate
further that in making that statement am I'm.
Devastating II: am inside of the truth. Cheers
aud applAuse Let me make you another state
ment: Outside OF foreign produce everything
that you buy costs you % per cent less than you
paid for II In 1860 and challenge every one OF
you to deny that am undertaking that most
outrageOusly.
These are facts which our Democratic
friends try os they may cannot success
fully deny. History proves them, stat
istics prove them, the experiences Of
every American workingman for the
past thirty yearo prove them. And yet
the Democratic party says Republican
protection is fraud" and that tariff
for protection is unconstitutional.

and understands that he docs not feel at
liberty to make statement in advance
Of any he may feel called upon
to make officially or an inveati-
CATION of the office, without the
consent of the gas trustees. Mr.. schultze
cannot alone give him that authority,
bat there is nothing TO prevent BIr.
schultze from making full statement
himself Of all he knows of the matters at
issue and Of the business OF the gas
Office. Viii Mr.. Shuttle and the other
members OF the board give Mr.. Wilkin-
son official authority to answer the
question the INrELLIoENcER has already
put to him-to this effect: Whether
it is true that one OF the gas trus-
tees shortly after the resignation
of the late secretary OF the
works, A. A. Franzheim, discovered
that there was such irregularities in the
accounts kept by said secretary as to
leave him in debt to the city in largo
amounts, and that upon the discovery
OF said delinquencies and the disclosure
ofthem to him he paid over on account
OF said delinquencies, or in full thereof,
sums amounting to S6,4l2 a." this be-
ing the language OF the resolution pre-
sented to COuncil.)
Mr.. Wilkinson would doubtless make
full statement regarding the matter il
given the authority to do SO.

Then and Now.-A Leaf From History.
We are indebted to Mr.. A. W. Camp
bell for the following interesting relic OF
days gone by in West Virginia. He has
just returned from a speaking tour in
the lower part of the state, and when
at Fayetteville, the county seat OF Fay
cite, few days ago, was shown at the
court house an old record book of the
days of 1861 in which the justices who
then composed the county court OF Fay
cite enrolled themselves among the i'm
mortals of that period by the adoption,
in solemn conclave, on June day in
'61, of the following preamble and reso-
lutions:
WHEREAS. Our state has been invaded by a
hostile army OF northern fanatics, and we feel
bound to resist said invasion TO the last extrem'
.Resolved therefore. first, That we feel 1t to be
our duty in accordance with an act Of the legs
lature passed January ~, 1851, to levy on the
people OF the county rom time 10 time rs may
be necessary, to enable US To- resist said invasion
successfully, such amount OF money Us we shall
think practicable and expedient.
Resolved. second, That we will then after
money and property are exhausted feel II TO be
our duty 10 levy for said purpose on the credit
OF the county and when that also Is gone we
will eat roots end drink water and still fight for
our liberty INTO death; and
RCso ued, third, But should any OF tho mem.
bers OF this court feel friendly 70 the north that
VIC Invite them or him peacefully and civilly to
resign his or their commission.
There was one level headed man
among about ten on the bench that
day who refused to vote for the above
resolution and it was possibly at him
the closing invitation to resign was
aimed. Strange to SAY, too, his name
was Flanagan, the name that became
famous at tho Chicago Republican con-
vention OF 1880. He, too, as Flana-
gan, probably asked bis fellow justices,
in the words of Flanagan, of Texas,
"What are We here for" And proba-
bly, answered the question by saying,
Certainly not for such foolishness as the
passage of these resolutions" He was
the counterpart of an old justice who
became famous. in this county of Ohio,
away back in 1880 or '4O-old John Gill
more-who was invited by his fellow
justices to resign because he had signed
a petition in favor of the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia, but
who. like Flanagan, of Fayette, was
not resigner, and who lived to see
his position justified by events.
Occasionally man of this sort does
lift up his head and tower among his
fellows in times when other people lose
their heads aud go wild, as they did in
Fayette in the days referred to, and as
they did in this community at an earlier
day. Flanagan oughtto have pedestal
in the new and handsome court house
at Fayetteville, and old John Gilmore
ought to have one here in our city and
county building. Such men are rare
and deserve to be honored.
