THAT DOODLE STORY.

More Conclusive Evidence that the IIIIcE.
iStsr'E" Preston County story was silly
Fako-A Letter from the Father OF the
Young Man Involved.
on Saturday the Intslllgcncer, in a
special from Falrmout, gave the truth
concerning a silly story published and
re-publlshed by the Wheeling Register,
TO the effect that u young man In Pres
ton county had received, through q
FalrmOnt bank, the sum OF Sl,46O. from
Wheeling, to be used in Preston county
In the interests Of certain Republican
candidates. The young man In question
was Edward HeermRns, son OF Mr.
Francis HecrmanB, one OF the best
known and most respected citizens and
bankers In the state. The story was
false on It's face.
The IntrlllEencer's dispatch Of Sat-
urdRy made clear that the money re-
ceIved by the young man had not the re-
motcHt connection with politics, the nf-
fair being purely a private transaction
which concerned no one but the bank,
the young man and his family. For
that reason the full details OF It cannot
be made public.
The Register having reiterated Its alb
Rurci falsshood, with the evident lnten-
tion OF bringing dlScredlt upon Repub-
lIcau leaders, Mr.. Francis Heermlns
has addressed the following letter to
Mr.. Atkinson, which efEectuRlly nails
the fabrication and settles the whole
matter:
.'RINGwooD. W. VA. April 80. 1896.
"FIon. Geo. W. Atkinson. Wheeling.
''ATY DEAR sIR:-I notice that the
Wheeling Register continued to connect
sou. hs a candidate. with n certain money
transaction to which my son was party
falsely alleging that the money was fur
nIshed him for use In the campaign for
the benefit OF the Republican party or
some OF Its candidates
81 state positively that the money did
not come from you directly nor indirectly,
nor from any manager or worker OF any
political party, nor wuE II TO be uaed
for any candidate or party, nor for any
political purpose whatever.
"FRXNcIs HEERMAEs."
As stated in the IntelllGencer Of Satur-
day the real circumstances and the fact
that the money transaction had nothing
whatever to do with politics have been
known to leading Democrats In
Fairmont and KInGWood. who have ex-
pressed their disgust with the Register
and other Democratic papers for their
course OF misrepresentation, which has
proved a verItable boomerang.
The Republican cause and the cause OF
the Republican leaders whose names
were unjuRtly connected with the mat
ter have not suffered. but the Register
and Its contemporaries owe their own
readers an apology for making an effort
TO deceive them.
