The Intelligencer hasn't stopped It's
dirty work, although the campaign is
over and everybody has settled down
TO the usual routine of life.
1t makes the charge that the Regis
ter faxed" up news in order to indu-
euce betting. a charge which the Intel
Hgencer knows to be falsehood made
by it out of the whole cloth.
The Register published not a word
in dispatch or bulletin that did not
come over either the long distance tel
eDhone. the Western Union bulletin
wire or the Associated Press. The In
teTigencer got the news at the same
time.
Iii there was any taking done,
whatever. the Intelligencer did it, for
the Register had in a bulletin conceded
West Virginia to the Republicans while
the InteIigencer yet had up on its win
dow a claim that the State had gone
Democratic The lntelugencer may
have been. as usual. behind hand in its
news from the State, but it looked
queer. Ia fact, the Intelligencer's alb
solutely false and absurd charge
against the Register in this matter
looks like another case Of the howl Of
stop thief"
In answer to numerous queries be-
fore the election we advised inquirers
who wanted to bet, not to do so. And
i'm giving the returns. the Register, as
we have said. conceded West Virginia
before the Inteligencer claimed it,
Our mendacious neighbor knows this.
Then wha. does it mean by giving out
such @ bald lie?
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1896-11-06

nothing whatever to show it. There
is fraud on the face of it.
Where did this increased vote come
from? Did it come from the same
sources that rolled up such an enor-
nous vote for the Ohio county ring
candidates at the last Republican pri-
maries?
What is true Of Ohio county is true
of every county in the State. And the
fraud was probobly greater in the
counties outside of the Wheeling dis
trict than in this county, because the
facilities were less for detecting fraud.
The gold men had unlimited money
ut their command. And money will
do pretty nearly everything except take
YOU to heaven. The Republican com
mittee had more money than they knew
what to do with, and corruption was
their chief card.
They played that card well, for it is
impossible to explain the enormously
increased Republican vote, in view OF
the very slightly reduced Democratic
vote. on any other ground than fraud.
Taking the voting in the last Pres
idertial election and allowing the nor
NAL increase. trimming the vote down
TO normal proportions, in view of the
Democratic vote cast the Democrats
would have won in the county and in
the state. For example, Irwin was
beaten for Sheriff by only about 400
votes i'm the county The increased
vote in the county was 1900, at least
three-fourths of which could not be
legitimate. Ii is estimated that Mr..
Irwin received at least 500 Republican
votes. The Democratic vote was, as
we have pointed out, about as usual,
and would have elected Irwin by
about 200 had the vote been legitimate
on the other side.
In this connection it is to be noted
that the remarkable increase is most
remarkable in Republican districts.

Money viii do a good deal Among
other things. it will bride voters, es-
pecially when the single gold standard
has reduced those voters to the verge
of starvation.
But we are asked, how was it pos
si5le for the Hanna people to bride
any one with certainty under the Sc
cret ballot system?
It was easy. And coercion was easy.
Tt was a simple matter for the employ
er to ascertain to a certainty how his
employees voted.
Here was one method and the favor
lite with the bribers and coercionists:
To get by hook or crook an official bal
lot To forge the poll clerks names
on that ballot was an easy matter. The
voter to be bribed or coerccd was given
this ballot already marked and this
ballot he was to vote, delivering to the
briber or coercer the blank ballot he
received from the poll clerk when he
went into the polling place This
blank ballot contained the regular sig
natures of the poll clerks and was

of That Supreme Confidence and Nerve
That He Displayed Before the Election.
New York. November 5.-M. A. Han
ma, chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, gave out the follow
ing statement at 2 p. m. to-day:
Sufficient returns have been receiv-
ed to satisfy me that the following
States have been carried for Mckinley
and Hobart. without a doubt:
California, 9; Connecticut, 6; Della
ware. 8: Illinois, a; Indiana, IS; Iowa,

setts. Is: Minnesota 9; Michigan, il;

%: Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, 81; Rhode
Island. A.: South Dakota, 4; Vermont,
4. West Virginia, g. Wisconsin, u;
wyoming. 1. Total 265, which in
sures the election by majority OF 81
in the electoral college if every other
electoral vote goes against us.
Another most significant feature OF
this victory is in the fact that Mckinley
and Hobarts election has been secured
bv plurality of over 10000 OF the
D0Dular vote-the largest ever given.
"I am confident that we shall secure
the other two electors in Wyoming and
the thirteen in Kentucky. That North
Carolina eleven votes is in doubt.
THE importance to the country OF
this result cannot be Over-estimated
and is a matter of congratulation to
all loyal and patriotic citizens OF the
United States. Incendiary utterances
and pretended claims which question
the accuracy of this statement should
not disturb the public mind.

Chairman"
The foregoing statement was issued
after an hours executive deliberation
at Republican National headquarters,

To would be desirable change in our
political system if we would make the
term OF the President six instead of
four years.
AS it is now. one campaign is scarce

talking politics from one years end to
The other. 1t keeps us in a continual
turmoil of partisan discussion that is
not a good thing from any point of
view. It is particularly had for bust

Louisville, KY, November 5-To
NJ. E. Stone, General Manager Associ-
ated Press:
On the face of complete unofficial re-
turns from all but Lhree mountain
counties, Bryan leads by 1914. The
votes of these three counties gave Gov
ernor Bradley 1864 majority and have
been counted on for considerably in
creased Republican majorities. One
precinct in one of these counties has
just reported 100 increased Republican
majority. We believe We have carried
Kentucky for Mckinley by 500 to 1000.

nifty. But the fact remains that it does
have that effect, and that it entails
serious periodical loss on the business
community, and in a greater or less
degree upon the whole people.
There is another point in our elect
oral system that might be improved
upon, and that is the system Of elect
ing the President by the electoral votes
of the States instead of the popular
vote
II a majority of the people elect the
President, why not let the majority
of the people do it? AS it is now,
majority of the people may cast their
votes for one candidate, while the
electoral college casts it's vote for the
other, and that is not distinctly popu-
lar government.
