AN ECHO or THE ELECTION.

One Of the peculiar cases before
the Grand Jury. in session here
last week, was reported from Terra
Alta. The witness who made com
plant was William A. McGinnis. a
resident of Terra Alta and mem.
Der Of the County Court from Port.
land District. lie is an ardent and
consistent ProhibitionIst, and testi.
fed that he voted for U. G.. CLAW
ton, the Prohibitionist candidate
for Congress IN this District at the
late election. As there was not q
single Prohibltionist vote reportod
from his voting place by the Elec-
ton Board, Mr.. McGinnis wanted
to know what became Of his vote.
IL was evident to the Grand jury
that there had been n violation of
the election laws, either intention
ally or accidently, but the question
was who to indict and who was to
blame. As the Prohibitionists had
no ticket out in this county at all.
and no candidate Of the party had
been heard tell Of during the cam.
paign, and the name Of their cam
didatc for Congress, U. G.. Clay
ton, being 50 like that Of the Re-
publican candidate, A. G.. Dayton.
there is no doubt that the vote was
counted for the latter by mistake,
and 90 the Grand Jury allowed it to
pass and found no indictment, and
Mr.. McGinnis was forced to vote
thc Republican ticket whether he
wanted TO or not.

hypocrisy.

CHARITY begins at home" is 4
saying which the Journal might i'm.
culcate in a manner that would add
responsibility and decency TO its re.
marks when 1t utters its hypocrlti
cal words about brutal remarks. -
For thirty long years the Republi.
can Ring, through the medium Of
the J0"rRal, waged war on those
Rcpubli who had the courage
OF their convictions, and. as free.
men, refused to wear the collar of
the Boss. They were told, as PLAN
as language could make it, that
"they would never be allowed to
hold office IN Preston county so
long as | can WELD a PEN" They
were to be ostracized forever from
holding Office because they would
not submit TO the dictorlul boss shin
OF the Ring and It's Chief. But as
freemen they would not submit to
One Man Power, and they dcfied
the Boss to make good his outra.
geous and Inland threat. What
was the result when he attempted
to put it into execution? The man
above all men whom the Boss de-
sired to keep out of public Office IN
"the land of the free and tho home
OF the brave" went before the peo-
pie OF this county and literally
licked the Great Boss and his trusty
henchmen out Of their boots and
was elected to the most honorable
aud best paying Office in the county,
and to day he is honored and rec
ognlzed as the absolute Leader Of
his party. The second yindication
came when Congressional delegates
were to be selected to represent this
county at the Elkins Congressional
Convention. 1t Is an open secret
that the Boss and his servile bench.
men were uncompromisingly OPP
posed to the nomination of Aston
Il. Dayton, and that they did every
thing in their power to get Pres
ton delegation that would vote as
the Boss dictated. In this thew
were defeated. But this did not
prevent them from going to the
Elkins Convention and making one
more desperate effort to persuade
the Preston delegates to desert
Dayton in his hour of victory. But
under the generaiship of the valiant
and courageous Leader Lee Shaw,
they were "routed, horse, foot and
dragoon." This is history which
even the willy and subtle editor of
the Journal cannot controvert.
Hence he cries out "brutal re.
marks" to cover up his Infamous
domneering and political boss-ship
FOR the past twenty years. But if
he seriously believes that by trick
of this kind he can divert public
attention from his twenty years of
pictorial boss-shlp, he is grievously
mistaken. Flushed with victory,
he will return to his vomit two
years hence and attempt to dictate
the nominations of this county.

When the Wheeling hteHigoncer,
IN speaking of the Income Tax and
denouncing it, declares that the
Democratic speakers did not dis
cuss it on the stump, in the late
campaign, it simply lies. We heard
at least twenty-five Democratic
speeches ourself, and read as many
more, and we think nearly every
speaker took up the Iucome Tax as
one of the special features of the
campaign and made a strong point
with it. OF course the Tatelliqeucer
as the special organ of trust and
monopoly, is bound to oppose this
measure in the interest of the poor
people Of the country.
