(el{I sxE1lls tb1 truth 81 them Il Il
/ were possible TO dfsprove them the
State bosses would have had the InteI-
/ ligencer'D columns loaded with figures
to that end! The best showing Peck
sniff can make is the above mentioned
attempt to figure false balance sheet,
which is simply ridiculous.
| In another column this morning the
Register presents brief resume of the
original document as published in the
! Register last Monday reviewing the
! finances of Democratic and Republican
! State administrations, reciting briefly
the main points in that full and de-
tailed statement. 1t will refresh the
memory of those voters who forgot TO
save copy of last Mondays Register
and presents the financial aspect of the
case in a nutshell.
These are facts and figures from the
record and even Partisan Pecksniff
dare not specifically deny them. 1t is
a showing of the disgraceful, gross in
competence and extravaganza and waste
of the last two Republican legislatures
| the first in twenty-five years-and
the same set of conscierceless bosses
who ran those two bodies are now ask
ing to be returned to power to continue
| their work of souandering the public
money, looting the treasury and filling
the statute books of the State with I'M
wise laws and legislation that wont
hold water in the courts.
1t is highly important that the
taxpayers of West Virginia should
thoroughly understand this matter and
to this end the Register has labored in
reproducing the figures showing the
financial management of the State by
the last two Republican legislatures
and showing the violent contrast to the
wise and economical methods that pre-
vailed under the preceding Democratic
Legislature.
1t is a matter upon which no voter
can be without Information and cast an
intelligent ballot at the coming election.
Certainly no taxpayer can afford to be
without complete information on this
all important subject.

CONFESSION f ON PECksNIFF.

Every boOkkeeper in town was laugh
ing yesterday over the publication OF
a little table by the Intelligencer pre-
tending to be a balance sheet COM
parison between Republican and Demo-
cratic administration of the State gov
eminent, the object being by some
sort of hocus pocus show of figures to
in some degree break the terribly dam
aging effect Of the Registers magnifi-
cent and complete comparative state
ment of management of the State finan-
ces under Democratic and Republican
administrations taken direct from the
books in the Capitol at Charleston.
Unless the Irtelligencer had some
vague idea of deceiving the extremely
ignorant the object of its publication
does not appear, since its pretended
balance sheets" are not balance sheets
and prove nothing because they mean
nothing in the shape published, as any
schoolboy studying the elements Of
bookkeeping knows.
We have said Pecksniff's figures
mean nothing. but we beg Pecksniff' s
parton, they are very important con-
fession of every count charged against
the Republican administration in the
Registers detailed indictment. By his
frantic effort and fiat failure to NEE,
or disprove single one Of the full
and specific charges against the admin
istration Of his party bosses, Pecksnin

Yoakum, Texas. November i6.--on the
18th day of last February dozen or more
members of the San Antonio and Aransas

at Cuero, Texas, and there decided that
Texas should and must be represented a.

which was raised for the purpose and we all
realize that were 1t not for the able and
generous manner in which efforts were
seconded by the press OF the State our ef-
forts would have been unayailing.
