| OF the IBID, Hhen II was iounu on tue
floor OF the railroad car on the forenoon
Of that date? Besides, none Of those
letters were ever filed. They were
found In their original envelopes, and
were ali enclosed in au unaddressed and
unused, size ten, envelope, bearing the
card OF McGraw's committee. Do men
usually flo letters in that shape7 But,
further. all these letters, except Myers's
letter, have on them in shorthand the
injunction, Take 10 Beverly" which 10
| further conclusive evidence that they
wore not in McGraw's Office at the time
he alleges they were, aud that they had
never been fled.
TWO PoIHrs KNOCKED OUT.
McGraw sought to make two points
in his bogus interview. First, that the
Republican committee Is conducting
doodle" campaign; and, second, that
his committee has but little money, the
free offerings OF working.men. No list
Of contributors TO McGraw,s campaign
fund was found; aud II he lost any
such paper, did it have on II Importer
Strauss's contribution OF $4,000, or the
contribution Of $4,000 Of Charles
Broadway Rouss, another New York
importer? That McGraw has had a
great deal OF money is evidenced by the
5000 that the Beverly barbecue cost
him, and the 5000 paid out for the
nov dead and abandoned hippodrome,
tho late fzzle called "Eloquenco on
Wheels" On the other hand the Repub-
lican committee has had, and has now,
very little money, and has been
cramped all along by want Of means to
meet the legitimate expenses OF the
campaign.
This attempt to create the impression
that the Republican committee is con-
ducting Doodle campaign is as
| hypocritical as the tears McGraW shed
in his Beverly speech over the wicked
Republicans trying to buy the poor coal
miners-and at that very time he had
Tor supposed he had} tho Joy letter in
his pocket.
Manager McGraw, who Is said to
dream fondiy Of the time when Windy
Wilson aud Camden will destroy each
other and the senatorial toga will fall
on his own shoulders, says that Joy got
no money from him. It is not his tao
tics to give people money himself; but
he has numerous agents and henchmeh
for that purpose. "What money he re-
ceived was from others, and not from
me-" bIandty says Mc6raw, aud he
winked his other eye. Doubtless. But
JOY did get money for his dastardly
work. He suddenly packed his belong
| ings at the hotel, and the landlady hap
pened 10 see q large pile OF money, most
| ty in small bills, in joys room, while
| he was hurriedly packing his goods.
ANOTHER LETTER.
Another letter lost at the same time
that the Joy letter was lost by tho very
shrewd manager, reads as follows. 1t
is post-marked at Cumberland, Nd,
October I6, and dated at Piedmont. and
bears sstenographic hierogiyphics, which,
being interpreted, say, "fake to Bev-
erly:"
PIEDMONT, W. VA, Oct 15, 1894.
"DEAn SIn:-Is 1t not possible to got
Col, A. K. Mcclure OF the Philadelphia
Times to make few speeches along the
line Of the W. V. q. road including this
place and Elk Garden? No man in the
| T.. S, is better qualified to talk taria,
and especially coal and lumber tariff,
than lie. Mckinley, you remember,
declined to meet him in discussion two
wears ago. Mcclure is thoroughly con.
versant with the coal business and can
give labor figures which can't be dis
puted. We want two men from north
Of Mason aud Dixon's line and leave
out everything in the Dixie spread
eagle and music way. ! 1sincerely hope
YOU will get Mcclure. He, in my opin-
ion, can do moro for Wilson's cause in
the coal region than any one else. Burn
this after reading. Reason is probably
apparen. l want no one to sec this
but you" m
The letter has no signature. Tho
writer was evidently alarmed.
But why was tho hippodrome aban-
doned over tho West Virginia Central2 2
Tho contract was made. and the rates
were agreed upon, but when the show
returned to Grafton Camdeu'a "palace
ON wheels" was dismantled Of Its gaudy
decorations and side tracked, and Mr..
Wilson. who was supposed TO be tho
chief attraction OF the colossal aggrega.
tiou, quietly went to Washington aud
tho few people who gathered at the alta.
tions along the West Virginia Central
were disappointed aud dlsgusted at Its
noB.arrival.
An unique feature ofthe lamented hip
podrome was tho legend borne on the
streamers tha. auttercd from either side
OF Camden's private car. "Gauiey,"
which read: "The Trusts Must Co." 1t
ia no. supposed that this had any refer
euco to Mr.. Camden's connection with
the Standard Oil Company, or his al-
legged dealing In sugar trust stock dur
ing the late session OF Congress.
DAYTON AND TIE MINERS.
McGraw has much to say about the
alleged failure Of Mr.. Dayton to defend
tho arrested miners. He rolls it as o
particularly sweet morsel under his
would.be very slick tongue. As before
atnted, the fact is that when Mr.. Day
ton was teIegraphed for by tho minors,
he was in the midst OF the trial OF a very
: important suit ia the circuit court.
And here is the sworn proof OF 1t from
one OF tho very miners who was ar
rested:
"TnoMAs, W. Va. Oct. %, 1904.
az notice n statement in the Cumber.
land Evening Times, dated October %
1894, made by ]. j. Joy, that the minors
during tho strike at Thomas, West Vir.
pinia, called on A. &. Dayton to defend
thom, and ho was too busy to respond
to their call. Tho above statement Is
untrue and false.
