ing Valley Railway. which road it

their system. This viii be a great
enterprise and viii join the yir-
ginia coal fields to the lakes by

Such a project would greatly
strengthen that already grand rail-

The Fairmont Index, discussing
the question of more effective
organization of the Democratic
party IN West Virginia for work
in the next and future campaigns
expresses the opinion that the
State would return to its Demo-
cratic moorings s.if none but bona
6de citizens were allowed TO vote. "
It may be remarked that the State
would never have lost its Demo
cratic moorings If no s.bona fide
citizen were allowed TO vote more
than once at each election. In the
last election the Democrats party
suffered moro from the hired re-
peater than from the nonresident
pretender. The election returns
of 1896 show that at least $1,000
Illegal votes were cast. A very
large majority of the legal voters
In this State are Democrats and
the Republican party has succeed
ed in getting control of the State
government only through the en-
ployment of a system of bribery
and corruption at the polls scarce
Iy equaled in the annals of Ameri-
can politics; and the worst feature
OF it is that those who debauched
the ballot box in 1895. Instead of
being in their proper place In the
penitentiary, are still at large. and
ready to resume their work of cor
ruption in 1898 and 1900 The
Democratic party would have no
difficulty in carrying the State if
only the honest vote were cast and
counted. and if the party managers
hall address themselves to the
task of purifying the ballot box
they need have but little fears of
defeat hereafter Charleston Ga
