fraud Ii Z perfunctory, mechanical
sort Of way at Democrats who have
won out in Republican counties. Now
just how these Democrats could be
guilty of fraud in these cases Peck
sniff does not make clear, the election
machinery being entirely in the hands
of the Republicans themselves. If
there has been any fraud or tampering
with the ballots in these Republican
counties, it has most certainly not
been the work of Democrats who have
nothing to do with handling the re-
turns.
The fact is Pecksniff is so used to
shouting fraud where Democrats are
elected in order to cover the post-elec-
ton tracks of his own party henchmen
that in his confusion in the present in
stance he shouts fraud where there is
no one to commit fraud but these very
henchmen, themselves.
Some of his bosses should jog Peck
sniff and wake him up to the fact that
he is not giving the boys a square deal.
1t is bad enough for them to have to
foot up Democratic majorities with
out being accused of fraud on top of it
all and by their own organ!

The returning board of Cabell at last
accounts had not given certificate Of
election to DIR. J. Boyce Taylor as Dele

official count shows his election by A
majority. True, the defeated Republic
can candidate has fled a notice of con-
test-on what grounds does not appear
but what has that to do with the case
which is to give to DR.. Taylor the GER
tifcate of his election shown by the
official count, as required by law?

Hon. John t. McGraw was partic-
clarly happy in comparing to the
French court that tried Dreyfus the
Republican returning board of Monon-
gala, which refused to permit repre-
sentative sent by him according to law
10 be present at the canvass of the re-
turns, and this striking resemblance
is by no means confined to Monongalia
sounty. There are others before which
Democrat has about as much chance
for Justice as Dreyfus had AS in the
Dreyfus case, however, the verdicts of
these petty, lawless tyrants is not final.

THE CASE OF MARSHALL COUNTY.

The organ of the INSCRIPTIONS gang
of politicians who have been running
this State with SO high a hand that
they have apparently come to believe
their will is superior to that OF the
reople even as expressed at the polls,
devotes some space to the revelations
of astonishing Irregularities revealed
in Marshall county. The INSCRIPTIONS
organ palavers the, situation over in
it's familiar hypOcritical vein until
it would actually appear that every
thing in connection with the handling
of the ballots in certain precincts there
was as right and proper as could be.
In the face of the startling situation
revealed in the official canvass by SOL
idly Republican board, it actually has
the iplpudence, the unparalleled effront-
cry to claim that there is nothing
especially out of the way, that every
things all right, that such things as
tying up the returns in a flour sack
with a hole in it and the discovery of
a ballot-box with a broken seal, ETC.,
etc, are mere little technical lapses that
amount to nothing!
But suppose these things had oc-
solid Democratic returning board, does
any sane man suppose we would ever
have heard the last of it from the hyp-
ocritical organ of Fourteenth street?
Under such circumstances the organ
would be bowling fraud through the
biggest, blacklist type in its office and
would be the throwing out of the re-
turns thus vitiated.
The latter is the utmost the Demo-
Gratis are now asking in the face Of
these gross gularities-putting it
as mildly as possible. According to the
most liberal construction of the law
governing the handling of the ballots
by election officials these returns
should be thrown out. Under the ad-
mitted circumstances nothing less can
be done under the plain provision of
the law. And we ask, Does any sane
man suppose that this would not be
the very least of the demands of the
hypocritical organ and its bosses were
the conditions reversed and the irreg-
ularities discovered in a Democratic
county?
But because the throwing out of these
returns-plainly vitiated under the
plain law-would give the Second Sen
atorial district to the Democratic can
didate to whom it belongs, we have the
same hypOcritical organ, as we have
said, smoothing the matter over in its
familiar oily and hypocritical way and
protesting virtuously that the startling
condition of things disclosed shows
only mere technical lapses that amount
to nothing and that it's all right and
sufficiently proper, you know! And
thus the organ condones an unques-
toned violation of the statutes and
connives at a plain illegality in order
to seat a defeated candidate that its
party bosses might have one more vote
In the Legislature.
Such is the quality Of Pecksniff's
political morals.

Republican national headquarters
will be opened when Congress assem-
bles and will remain open for the
Presidential canvass of 1900.
In fact, Republican political head
quarters are never closed from years
end to years end.
Will Democrats take the hint in time
and endeavor to keep up with the pro-
cession in the matter of organization?
That counts heaviest in political as in
military campaigns.
This lesson ought to be thoroughly
learned by the Democrats of West Vir-
ginia by this time, if they can profit
by experience Take The case of Wet
eel county for example: The Demo-
Gratis allowed the campaign there to
run itself. Consequently but half the
Democratic majority of the county
was returned although in spots in
Wetzel where effort had been made
the Democratic majority was nearly
doubled, as it would have been
in the entire county had the proper
effort been made throughout to get out
the vote, in which case instead of 649
the majority would surely have been
over 1900. And so it went elsewhere
in the State. While the Republicans
were thoroughly organized and we'll
supplied with money for expenses, the
Democrats had little or nothing and
consequently were able to make but
ditions been otherwise, had the Dem
ocrats had anything approaching the
organization of the Republicans they
would have swept the platter clean
from Hancock to Mcdowell, electing
an overwhelming majority to the Leg
islature and sending a solid Demo-
cratic delegation to Congress. This is
not mere unsupported conjecture, but
the matured and unbiased opinion of
ties in West Virginia.
AS instanced in the case of the early
opening of their national headquarters
to which we have alluded, the shrewd
Republican leaders look far ahead and
organize thoroughly everywhere. That
coupled with the fact that they have
been steadily and literally backed by
the money power and the trusts, is the
whole secret of their success in the
past They know it we'll and, as we
may plainly see, are relying upon the
same wise plans to carry them through
to success in the great campaign OF
1900.
Will Democrats take the hint in
time and checkmate this shrewd move
as far as possible by adopting similar
measures looking to complete organi-
cation in that great fight? In no oth er
way can the thoroughly organized
forces of Plutocracy and the Trusts be
beaten.

that the lives of Generals Miramon and

to the national government, asking
that the lives of Generals Miramon and
Mejia, who had already undergone all
the anguish of death, be spared" and
that he might be the only victim. The
request was denied. After making this
supreme effort on behalf of his gen.
erals, he employed his remaining hours
in debating letters. and when night
came he slept soundly.
On the morning of his execution
(June 1917, he arose at 3 o'clock, and
dressed carefully. At o'clock Padre
Soria came, and once more gave him
the last sacrament; an altar had been
erected for this purpose in a niche
formed by a passageway to his cell.
This religious duty having been per-
formed, he gave instructions to DR..
Basch, sending greetings and last tok-
ems to friends. At quarter before 6
he breakfasted; and when, on the
stroke Of 6, the officer appeared who
was to lead him to execution, he was
ready, and himself called his compan-
ions in death. Three hacks had been
provided for the condemned. The
prince entered the first with the priest.
and, escorted by the soldiery, the
mournful procession moved through
q dense crowd to the place Of execu-
ton.
On arriving at the Cerro de las Cam
panas, where a month before he had
made his last stand, the fallen en-
peror looked about him for a friendly
face, and finding only his servant, the
Hungarian Tudos, he asked. "Is no one
else here?" It is said, however, that
Baron Magnus, the Prussian minister
and the consul, Bahnsen, were present,
although out of sight.
The priest weakened under the or
deal; he felt faint. and the prince held
his own smelling-bottle to his nose.
Followed by General Miramon and
Mejia, Macmillan walked towards the
open square, where an adobe wall had
been erected, against which they were
expected to stand. About to take his
position in the middle, Macmillan
stopped, and turning to General Mira
non, said: "A brave soldier should
be honored even in his last hour; per-
NIT me to give you the place of honor"
and he made way for him. An officer
and seven men had been detailed to
do the deadly work. The prince gave
each Of the soldiers piece Of gold.

heart; and taking on his hat, he said:
