election may be carried.

PARSONS, w. Va, November, IS
The recount demanded by Mr.. McGraw
the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, in this county, was concluded
to-day. The result is that Mr.. Nc
Graw gains IL votes and had, through
the action of the County Commission
ers, all Republicans, had every
doubtful ballot counted against him.
When the returns were presented
and opened up for investigation there
was developed in this county most
remarkable condition which needs but
a plain statement of the facts to de-
monstrate and prove the existence of
the most fragrant frauds.
At one precinct in the lumber re-
gions, no booths were located and the
voter was compelled substantially to
cast an open ballot, at this precinct
Mr.. McGraw got but one vote. At
another precinct there are 13 fewer
ballots returned than there are votes
polled and reported 10y the commits
sioners and clerks At another pre-
cinct there are 267 ballots which were
sent out to this precinct by the bal
lot commissioners that were not ac-
counted for or their absence explained
in any manner. There is no evidence
that they were destroyed and an ex
animation of the ballots shows that
a majority of the ballots at this last
precinct are all in the same hand
writing. At another precinct there
were 60 more votes cast than there
We're actual residents in the pre-
cinct.
At Thomas it has been developed
that 200 of the Slavs, Polanders and
Italians employed in the coal works
there voted the straight Republican
ticket and were driven to the polls
like sheep to the slaughter pen. All
of these foreigners who came from
Douglass and the coke ovens near
Thomas were taken to the polls by the
Republican managers.
Mr.. Day6on's majority in Tucker
county, and possibly his majority in
the whole district will be represented
by the 200 Slav, Italian and Polander
votes which he got at this place, and
the inquiry is made tonight whether
with this condition he will still be in
favor of limiting foreign migration.
The investigation which is to follow
the conclusion of the duties of the
board of canvassers are in the hands
of reliable attorneys here, who intend
to leave no stone unturned towards
the vindication of the county in which
they live. Evidence is being taken to
show that grubbing parties were
formed and Democrats paid to remain
away from the polls, and in many in
stances the direct proof exists of the
fact that money was paid to voters
to vote against the Democratic can
didates.

They're After Quay.

VEN in Mr.. Quay's state things
are not locking altogether bad
for silver. Pennsylvania Is GER
tain to witness this year rcnding of
the republican party; the preliminaries
To that process have already been ac-
complished.
Evidently the Pennsylvanians who
are sick Of the Quay machine have
profited by what happened last year in
New York Quay has worn them out
just as Plat wearied those who finally
took up arms against him. They think
in Philadelphia that they can wreck
Quay's state machine as effectively as
the Manhattan mugwumps wrecked
PIatt's. and they are up and Mt II. with
newspaper backing Of republican as
well as of independent tint that gives
promise Of a sensational fight in Penn
sylvania, Just now the organized
opposition to Quay is waiting ON John
Wanamaker What has become known
as the Rourse conference selected him
as candidate for governor and If he
says he'll run the aggressive campaign
will begin. the expectation being that
Wanamakers leadership will make
sure the capture of Legislative districts
enough 10 insure Quay's loss Of the
senutorship.
OF course. Mr.. Quay will fight To the
bitter end, as Plat did and in
Plattts ease. under the delusion that he
is invincible. Really, it looks at the
outset as If Quay has IA harder game
than Plat had. The Pennsylvania up
! rising has its inspiration in better men

vania elects n governor, several Other

some; he says that Shayne paid his
expenses 10 Ohio. Shayne, before the
discovery of Boice in Canada, was un-
willing to admit any particular knowl-
edge of the purpose Of the Boice trip TO
Cincinnati He says, now that it was
expected that Boice would swing the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune for
Hanua, besides controlling the silver
republicans in the Hamilton county
delegation.
In other words, Mr.. Shaync admits
just enough to show that Boiee could
tell very interesting story If he
would only take the public into his
confidence far enough to relate all that
he knows concerning the methods
used to secure Mark Hanna's election
TO the senate.

sion hold itself bound by the distinct
orders and by the limitations of the
legislature. The commission appar-
entity doesn't find itself disposed 10
be bound by anything or by anybody.
II is going ahead with plans in which
Pennsylvania sees millions of expense
and years of building. Even il the con-
tracing now proposed is made within
the S550,000 limit, the result win be a
mere wing Of the building which can
not possibly furnish the quarters
called for in the itemized specification
adopted by the legislature.
In what is going on the Pennsylvan-
ians discover another Albany state
house. which was started away back in
Samuel J. Tildens time and which, I'M
finished to-day, represents a cost of
more than $50, 900, 900. whereas New
York expected to do something mag
nificent, and could have done 1t under
honest management. as Connecticut
did. for S., 100000 as an outside figure.
For that matter the Pennsylvanians
are not obliged to go away from home
| for warnings A big, meaningless
| pile that attracts the attention of the
visitor in Philadelphia is the so-called
new city hall. II was started a genera
ton ago; it will not be finished in
years: it was To have cost about
S4,000, 900; it has cost S19,o00,0 900; it can
easily be made to cost s10,0oo,o00 more
The strange part Of ii is that Gov
ernor Hastings, the Pennsylvania press
and the public in that state appear to
| be helpless. As far as the commission
is concerned. it seems to be without de-
| tenders in the press, yet the four men
are going ahead with preliminaries that
are n reckless disregard of law. The
| governor himself says that the MEM
bers Of the commission have accepted
plans and prepared specifications for a
structure which will lack many OF the
essentials Required by the law, and
which is clearly intended to be such a
| monstrosity that the next legislature
will feel obliged to submit to additional
appropriations of several millions and
grant authority to go on with work not
contemplated by the existing law. 1t is
deliberately intended to get the work in
such condition that the state cannot
very well escape.
| or course 1t is not in order to bring
/ any comparison of the Pennsylvania
/ commission with the Montana commits
sion That is not intended: it would be
entirely unjust, because the Montana
commission Is not yet fairly at its
work, and the presumption is that II
is going to do right. Yet, even then
the people Of Montana may be par
doned If they betray nervous interest
in this matter. They spent tens upon
tens of thousands of dollars on one

contemplated.

~HE London market may have
eoualed it, with its wildcat spec
ulations in the uttermost parts
of the earth, but this country certainly
never saw the like of the klondlke
craze. The excitement is supported by
the dispatches that are constantly reach
ing the newspapers. Heaven knows who
inspires them or how they get into the
press service. They come from both
ends-from the East and from the West.
One reason why many of them are not
worth the sending is that, to men who
have any knowledge at all about min
ing matters. they are nonsense-they
mean nothing. But the tenderfoot world
apparently feeds on these dispatches,
and they serve constantly to fire the
imagination of those who because they
know nothing about mining, imagine
that. since there is gold in Alaska, all
they have to do is to go there, pick 1t
up and be rich.
Take some of the stuff that has been
deemed fit to be sent to the press of the
country by wire, within forty-eignt
hours, for instance. One long dispatch,
under Vancouver date says that lit Is
reported that great gold discovery has
been made on the American side OF the
Yukon" man named Behnsen writes
to his brother that out of the crevices
he and his friends picked up $4,000 in
one day. The brother is urged To sell
his business or give it away and come
quick with ten men. The Behnsens
are said TO be reliable" This fishy in
formation may not prompt Behnsen' $
brother TO give his business away, but
it will start up hundreds of men VINO
have the craze and who want TO be
1ured by just such stuff; yet every sane
man knows that, thousand to one, the
whole story is a fake.
Still later the press service brings a
message from Notwithstanding depart
ments there are being well worked for
the purpose of keeping up the craze

A Day at the lola Trial.

~ and demonstrations attended
the Zola trial to-day. The court
house was surrounded by eight squa
drons of cavalry and two regiments of
infantry. The judge ordered gatling

next offense.
