Judge sawyer Robbed

Tuesday night a burglar went
through Judge Sawyer's residence near
Fruit!and and robbed the Judge of one
hundred and twenty-five dollars in
gold. We are sorry for the Judge,
but he has nobody to blame but him
self. That gold should have been
stored away in some bank where
burglars could not get at it. We have
banks ready and willing to take care
of the peoples money and if they are
afraid to trust bank they ought to
lose their money.

THE COLORED VOTE

One of the funniest things put forth
by Chairman Dawson's claim depart
ment is that the Democrats corrupted
the colored vote in the Third District.
This from the leader of the political
gang who think they have a right to
herd the colored vote to the polls and
who have Systematically deceived and
cheated the colored voters for quarter
OF a century, is rich, indeed.
AS far as corrupting the colored vote
is concerned it is notorious that the
Democrats had no money for such pur-
poses even had they cared to do that
sort OF work. Chairman Dawson, how
ever, had almost unlimited Doodle at
his command, ard the corrupt uses to
which the Kanawha hog combine put
their share is notorious.
The fact that hurts Chairman Daw-
son, is that the corruptionists were not
able to keep the negro vote in line

ing the value of independence in poll
tics.

DAWsON'S DENIALs.

| Chairman Dawson, of the Republic
can State Committee, in an interview
in the Intelligencer, in the very lace
of the returns showing a Democratic
majority, claims the Republicans have
carried the Legislature on joint bal
| lot.
Mr.. Dawson is engaged in miserable
business. He lowers himself in the
! opinion of decent men of both parties
by his astonishing attitude not only
| in claiming the Legislature in spite
of the returns and in the face of Gov.
Atkinson's admission to the contrary
with regard to the lower house, but
in condoning the outrageous situation
in several counties where his bench
| men have control of the election ma
chinery.
Chairman Dawson's home is in
Preston county, and he knows prob
ably better than any other man in the
State what kind of work was done
there where the vote was held back
until it was ascertained what major
ity would be required to overcome the
Democratic majority in the rest of the
Second district. No one can teach
Chairman Dawson anything concern
ing this outrageous business, and
knowing this it would seem to require
most marvellous effrontery on his part
to deny the effort made to steal the
Legislature from the Democrats who
have elected a clear majority of its
members.
Chairman Dawson's unsupported de-
NAL and his weak defense of this
fraud are made in the face of the
prima facia evidence of it.
"The Republicans have no reason to
steal the Legislature" says Mr.. Daw-
son. ct is already ours in both
branches" And he makes this claim
when Gov. Atkinson, himself, who IS
as fully in possession of the facts and
returns as his Secretary of State, con-
cedes the lower house to the Demo-
Gratis by at least one. The Governor
never would have made such a con-
cession had there been shadow of
doubt about it. He has shown his
good sense and regard for common
decency, however, in breaking away
from the partisan insanity that re-
fuses to accept the inevitable
What Gov. Atkinson admits Chair
man Dawson knows to be true. He
knows moreover that on the face of
the returns the Democrats have not
only this conceded one majority in the
lower house, but eight or nine more
that unquestionably have been gained
in Renuhlioan counties. And it is in
the latter instances tho attan,nt +o
cheat the Democrats out their victory
has been made. TIL diet &;
in these counties where the tricksters
control the election machinery. And
no man in West Virginia is better
aware of the truth or in closer touch
with the situation than Chairman
William M. O. Dawson himself.
In view of the situation the very
least that Chairman Dawson in de-
cency could do was hold his peace.
His efforts to publicly justify the stu
alton and his denial of things that are
notorious are a slap in the face to the
decent and intelligent people of the
State regardless of party.

TIE PTERSGN-GETZ ENDANNER CASE.
Chairman Dawson, of the Republican
State Committee, gloats in advance
over the prospect that the State Sen
ate. which will have a slight Repub-
lican majority, will by virtue OF the
brute force of that majority GUST the
men elected to fill the seats OF
Messrs. Pierson and GetZendanner, con-
stitutionally vacated by their accept
ance of commissions in the army.
Notwithstanding the decision of the
Supreme Court, Notwithstanding the
plain constitutional provision covering
the case, Mr. Dawson relies on the
subserviency of the Republican major
ity in the Senate to its INSCRIPTIONS
party leaders to refuse to seat the DEM
ocrats elected by the people to ill these
vacancies.
AS to the Governors unlawful re-
fusal to issue writs of election. Mr..
Dawson makes this remarkable plea:
Suppose the Governor had declared va
cancies in these instances, and issued
writs of election, and men had thereby
been elected, and the Senate, which IS the
sole Judge of the election, qualifications
and returns of its own members, had de-
clared that there We're no vacancies, is
it not easy to see that the Governors
position would be ridiculous, ana MS
| act usurpative?
| Here we have the astounding doc
| trine laid down that because the Sem
ate might have refused to do its con-
stitutional duty, therefore the Govern
or was right in refusing to do his!
And on this amazing basis Chairman
Dawson holds that a subservient SEN
ate majority will be right in declining
| to abide by the will of the people as
plainly expressed by their ballots at
the polls.
This proposition of the State Chair
man involves as high-handed sub
version of law to partisan purposes as
even these INSCRIPTIONS and discred-
tied political bosses were ever guilty of,
which, indeed, is saying much.
By this outrageous proceeding these
defeated politicians hope to secure a
majority in the Legislature on joint
ballot, but even this will not secure
them enough majority in the Senate to
overcome the Democratic majority In

THE RAPE OF THE BALLOT.

A fair sample of the work done
where the election machinery is con-
trolled by the tools of the Republican
State bosses has come to light in the
canvass of the returns so far as accom-
plished in Marshall county yesterday
An utterly astounding condition of
things was disclosed. In one instance,
the safe vault had been en-
tered, the ballot-box seal brok-
en- and the ballots left open,
having evidently been tempered with.
In another instance the whole para
phernalia of the precinct, ballots and
all, had been dumped into flour sack
tied with a string and so left! In ev-
cry precinct examined, but one, irregu-
larities were revealed.
The whole astounding story is told
in detail. And only a part of the
county has been canvassed. More re-
mains to be told.
The closeness of the vote on Sena-
tor in that Senatorial District explains
the tampering with the ballot boxes
after they had been sealed and placed
in the vault.
This crooked work and the probable
vitiation of the returns in certain pre-
cincts will certainly result in the cleo
ton of the Democratic candidate for
the State Senate in that district.
These revelations it must be borne
in mind, up to date have been made in
but portion of one county, Marshall,
although fraud was not generally sus-
pected or charged there.
From these discoveries we may con-
lecture the probable state of things
where there was evidence of fraud and
tampering with the ballots on the very
face of the returns and before the can
vass was begun, as in several places in
the Second district where recounts have
been demanded by Hon. John T. Nc
Graw, who possesses the sworn state
ments of numerous Republicans who
voted for him, but whose ballots were
not counted.
There is no question that wholesale
fraud has been L4acticed in many places
throughout the State and it is to be
regretted that a general recount of the
State was not demanded.
1t is an Infamous condition of things
and will excite the deep indignation OF
honest citizens of both parties, for the
matter reaches beyond mere partisan,
ship, the principle involved being the
very foundation of popular govern
ment.
The consolation we have at this
time is that the damnable work has no
been far-reaching enough to change
The complexion of the next Legislature
as chosen by the people, though it ma!
have reduced the Democratic majorit.
in the House from what it ought to b.
and will unquestionably be responsible
if the Senate shall remain in tn
control of the same old gang of un
scrupulous politicians.
The best we can hope for now is tina
some of the rascals will be brought t
book and landed in the penitentiary a
warming to their kind in the future.

NOT BE OVERTHROW.

If such a state of affairs exists in

what must it be where fraud is appar-
ent on the face of things?
