Modest as TO His Aspirat ions.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, November 20.-Gen. c.
c. Watts, of West Virginia, is here on a
hurried professional visit AS to condi
tions in West Virginia, Gen. Watts said
tonight: Il was on the stump during
the whole compaign, did all l could to
bring the STATE back 10 Democratic moor
ings. and am hurrying back, as 1 repre-
sent the Democratic candidate in the re-
count in Kanawha county. The House Of
Delegates win stand 50 Democrats to g
Republicans as near as we can tell now,
and our majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature will be safe
Gen Watts was asked whether he
would be a candidate for the United
tates Senate, and said:
Il think it is premature for me TO say
anything on that subject. The office of
United States Senator is very high Of
fee. and is one to which any man may
justly and honorably aspire. Let US first
establish beyond any question our right
to control the Legislature. Of course I
would appreciate as very high tribute
on the part Of my party and State seat
in the United States Senate. l feel l can
safely say that the Legislature will be
Democratic, and whether l am the choice
of my party of not. Democrat will be
elected from West Virginia to represent
that State in the United States Senate"

VOLUNTEER RELIEF WORK.
My guiding principle throughout the
war has been that relief when needlt
should be promptly accepted without
reference to TIE source from which il
came. The relief afforded by the Ma

have rendered very valuable services
are the National Relief Commission,
of Philadelphia, and the Massachusetts,
Volunteer Aid Association, of Boston,
and take pleasure in testifying to the
valuable services rendered.

Dayton. M'Graw.

MIR. McGraw was asked by your cor
respondent whether any further steps
would be taken by him to contest the
legality of the election. and in reply
he said: mo, not for the purposes of
securing the Office" "a certificate of
election, with even a majority in my
favor on the face of the returns. he
said, would be of no avail, and would
simply result in fruitless contest be-
fore a Republican House of Represen-
tatives.
My position, he further said, was
that | believed a fragrant wrong had
been perpetrated in several counties
in this Congressional district, and l
felt that | owed it to the party, as we'll
as to myself, to do all within my pow
er in an honorable way to locate the
particular places in which the wrong
had been committed. The next Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in this
district will be able to safeguard the
situation and prevent a repetition OF
the conditions which have obtained in
this district for the past SIX years,
from evidences information and proofs
winch | will place in his hands IN re-
spect to the Republican counties.
In the recount in Hampshire did you
get the benefit of the Democratic votes
which were thrown out the commits
sioners of election?
No; the fact is in respect to those
votes that in the contest for county
superintendent of schools in that coun-
ty there were excluded $50 Democratic
ballots, which were scattered in such a
way as to cause the commissioners OF
election to exclude them from the
count, and the County Court sitting as
a Canvassing Board, sustained the ac-
ton of the election commissioners.
How about Preston, Tucker and
Monongalia counties?
The records of the canvassing boards
in these counties speak for themselves,
and must carry but one conclusion to
any fair mind.
Mr.. McGraw has not yet been able to
get out of his house, but expects to go
within a day or two to the Hot Springs
in Virginia.
