an dead against this sort Of thing. and
I think that class Of Republicans among
Us who have disgraced us by these
shameful methods ought to be taught
salutory lesson right now, and l assure
YOU am not alone in my sentiments
regarding this matter"
"How was money used Improperly IN
your cOnvention?" was asked.
1T was used, he said, "in purchas'
ing the votes OF delegates outright De-
fore the convention met, and also while
the ballotinE was in progress,
HULING's HIRELINGs
we're working among the delegates all
through the sitting OF the convention,
aud every gain made bY him during the
balloting represented so much money
paid out in cold cash-Slipped into the
pockets Of those delegates who were
willing 10 be bribed. IL is believed that
the delegation from Webster county
were purchased in 3 job lot. No one
seems 90 doubt this. The evidence OF
the fact ia indeed so plain and palpable
as scarcely to admit Of doubt. Neither
is there any doubt that large number
Of the Fayette delegation-especially
the negro delegRtes-were purchased
and held in reserve 10 be
used for Mr. Hulin when
the critical moment arrived Eugene
Elliott, of Logan, was candidate for
the nomination, simply TO prevent
Rucker from getting the Logan delega-
tion, and turning il over TO Huling at
the proper time. This was the agree
meut between Huling aud Elliott, aud
the delegates voted according TO instruc-
t.onS Why did toe chairman OF the
Hanawha delegation refuse TO permit
the polling Of his delegates by the clerk
OF the convention? Simply because be
knew that nearly one-third of them
were for Rucker, and tnat II their
votes had been properly counted II
would have resulted ia the nomination
of Rucker on the second ballot. POca-
hoatas county was refused representa-
tion in the convention, because her rep
resentaUive came Instructed 10 vote for

no valid excuse for depriving the coun-
" entirely Of presentation. II Judge
McWnOrter, who held
THE PROXY FROM POCAHoSTAs
Had manifested a willingness to vote
for Huling that county would have been
accorded a voice in the convention"
"Sup9osiug Mr.. Huling had secured
the nomination fairly, would you have
considered him strong candidate?"
Certainly not. That is the very rea-
son why we desired the nomination Of
Rucker or some other man in sympathy
with the masses Of the people. By the
nomination Of HUling the Republicans
have thrown away the votes Of the coal

TO ALLEVIATE the farmers and the POpu-

The Republican delegate appeared
10 be Ia a very disconSolate mood when
the representative Of the REGISTER
bade him Good day"
The said "dlscOnsolate delegate" was
right ia his predictions regarding the
Populists. They have already begun
Erh
Huling, and the fight against him from
this quarter promises TO be lively
one.
The friends of Huling are making all
sorts Of extravagant claims. They say
he will have majority over Anderson
of at least 1000 Ia Kauawha alone.
The methods which they have decided
to employ 10 obtain their 1000 majority
is indicated by q conversation between
the Republican
MAYOR OF ELK CITY
and a Democratic clerk in one Of the
departments Of the state house, which
occurred iu the lobby OF the 81. Albert
hotel the night before the convention.
The mayor didn't know the said clerk
and took him for 4 Republican and
delegate 20 the convention. The mayor
asked the clerk:
(Which one OF the candidates for the
congressional nomination Will the dele
CATION from your county vote for?'
II think the most Of them will vote
for Rucker," said the clerk.
Now, look here" said the Mayor;
"Huliug is tue man 10 nominate. He
haS plenty OF money, owns great deal
OF bank stock, is vice. ores dent or a
bank and owns mining tracts OF vaIu-
abe lands. He is wealthy, and is will

In kanawha county that can be bought
Huing has the money 70 buy
this vote, and II nominated there
will be no trouble in getting the
money necessary 10 secure this large
t0atiug vote In Kanawha. Just then
Just then another Democratic clerk
came up aud Joined the party when
something was said that informed the
Elk City Mayor that be had been talk
ing 10 the wrong man.
Doodle Is the watchword among the
Republicans Of the Third district this
year, aud the political bummers expect
10 reap rich harvest between this
time aud the 9th OF November.
