THE H|GB HANDED METHODS
Being Pursued by Secretary Dawson to
Steal the Legislature.
THD DIRTY WORK JUST DONE IN
TAYLOR COUNTY IS A SAMPLE OF
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE EVERY
WHERE-AN EX-MEMBER OF A
COUNTY COURT Is RUNNING
THINGS AT GRAFTON.

Special to the Register.
Grafton, w. Va, December 18.-The
effort made by the Republican revo-
lutionists to deprive Mr.. Dent of his
seat in the Legislature developed itself
on yesterday. Secretary Dawson came
here during the week, and after con-
sultation with the local censpirators,
with the counsel and aid of John w.
Mason, the Uriah Heep of West Vir-
ginia politics, advised Means, the retir-
ing member of the County Court. to
issue a certificate to Brohard, the de-
feated candidate, based upon the re-
turns made by the election commits
sioners, and totally ignoring the result
as declared by the County Court sit
ting as a canvassing board.
Means, although no longer a member
of the County Court, because his sue
cessor has been elected and qualified,
went to the clerks office in the vaca-
ton of the Court and entered upon the
record statement that he believed
the returns made by the election COM
missioners were the true result of the
election, and not the result as declared
by the County Court.
The mere statement of what has
been done here carries with it its own
illegality and shows the desperate and
revolutionary purpose to have two GER
tificates sent to the Secretary of States
Office so as to enable him to place the
name of Brohard on the list instead Of
Cent, the legally elected Delegate.
The action of Secretary Dawson in
travelling over the State and person.
ally counselling and directing these
things would seem to present valid
grounds for impeachment, and
first bill offered in the
Legislature should be one
br this purpose. Can the peo-
Iple of this State quietly look on and
permit map who is charged with
the solemn and sworn duty of making
UP the roll of the law making depart
ment of the government, to per-
sonally direct and abet a conspiracy
which will enable him to violate the
law which he is sworn to execute?

Roberts took the audience by storm,

campaign, reading from the platform of
the national parties in 1896, showing
their stand on the money question, de-
filming the meaning of free coinage and
the ratio of 10 to l. He dwelt for some

the silver question was not an issue,
and showed 70 the satisfaction of the
audience that it was the paramount
issue here. The whole speech was a
masterpiece of oratory, and was greeted
with applause from start to finish.
