HES A DEMOCRAT.

If the Democrats control the Legisla-
ture and they are bound to do it, John
T. McGraws chances for election to the
United States Senate are good. We have
one "over the mountains" Senator and he

REVOLUTION PROPOSED.

REVOLUTION PROPOSED.
No Democratic United States Senator
will be elected by stolen Legislature
while / am chairman of the Republican
ommittee.-Secretary of State Dawson.
This from the Chairman of the Re-
publican State Executive Committee,
who is also Secretary of State, is the
signal for one of the most gigantic
steals ever attempted since the mons
ter theft of the Presidency in 1876.
The conspiracy is we'll planned. A
hint of it has already been given in
these columns. 1t is in brief as fol-
lows: Mr.. Dawson, as Secretar.'' of
State, makes up the roll of the House
of Delegates, that is, it is "a part of his
duty-merely clerical, ito receive and
e TIE terri 1..y organization
the certificates of election
county boards.
1t is Mr.. Dawson's intention to
the revolutionary outrage of
ing to certify the certificates of a
4 sufficient number of Democrats to give
the Republicans mapority with which
to organize the House of Delegates
litter which the theft of these Demo-
cratic seats would be an easy task in
he way of Contest" proceedings.
To this end Secretary Dawson, aided
and abetted by Gov Atkinson, who
thinks he can become United States
senator by such means, and U. S. Rev.
enue Collector A. B. White, Secretary
Of the Republican State Executive
Committee, has by means of insistent
kilograms, samples of which we have
published, dragooned defeated Repub-
lican candidates to lend their names to
Contests" regardless of the majority
by which they were defeated, the re-
gularity of the election and canvass,
or the utter absence of all evidence or
even suspicion of fraud or irregularity
These insistent messages calling up
on defeated Republican candidates "for
party reasons" to engage in this foul
work, have been sent almost broadcast
over the State wherever a Republican
has been defeated by comparatively
small majority.
Capt A. N. Pritchard, of Marion, de-
feated by So votes, was approached by
the conspirators, but being honest, he
declined to have anything to do with
the proposed theft, although repeated
~ harrassed by kilograms from Atkin-
son, Dawson and White. He declared
that If the conspirators wished to do
this thing they would have to do it
without his aid or consent. And it is
evident, from a dispatch on the SUBJ
ject in their Wheeling organ, that they
propose to contest" this seat without
Capt, Pritchard's consent. 81 directed
contest to be instituted in favor of
Captain Pritchard," boldly says Ring

SCHEME WHICH LOOKS TO DEPRIVE
HIM OF THE SEAT IN THE LEGIS-
LATURE TO WHICH HE WAS ELECT
ED"
Whether the conspirators will Sign
1T. themselves aud do the swearing"
remains to be sect. Probably it will
be done, as it is proposed to do in the
similar case of Capt. Pritchard in the
face of his refusal to lend his name to
the proposed theft.
But there are other defeated Re-
publicans not so scrupulOus End
honest as these two.
THEFT No. 3 is told of this morning
in our Geographic news columns
Mason, Republican, defeated by So
votes in Barbour county, has agreed
to contest" although there is not the
shadow of ground in his case for a
contest, as but six votes are claimed
to be irregular, which could not affect
the result. Leading Republicans of
Barbour unhesitatingly repudiate the
the insistence and persuasion Of Daw-
son, Atkinson and White, the theft is
to be undertaken.
There are other cases similar to this
and there is no doubt that enough
contests will be instituted to give
Mr.. Dawson that flimsy and worth
less excuse to carry out the proposed
revolutionary scheme to subvert the
rights of the people of West Virginia
and rob them of their duly chosen
Legislature! For, bear in mind, even
were these so-called contests per-
fectly legal and justifiable, the Secre-
tary of State would have no shadow Of
right to withhold certification of any
members certificate of election duly
issued by the proper county or district
authorities.
1t is simply REVOLUTION that is
proposed-open PIRACY.
But how may this lawless thing be
done without interference? may b.
asked.
The Register this morning publishes
an authentic dispatch from Charleston,
which conveys the astounding infor-
nation that it is proposed to carry
out the foul proceeding AT THE
POINT OF THE BAYONET!
Our correspondent tells us, and
he speaks from no mere rumor
or ordinary hearsay, that it is Gov.
Atkinson's intention to have THREE
COMPANIES OF SOLDIERS ON
GUARD AT THE STATE CAPITAL
WHEN THE LEGISLATURE IS
OPENED, THAT THESE WILL BE
FILED INTO THE HOUSE OF DELE
GATES TO "PRESERVE ORDER"
WHILE THE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE
OF WEST VIRGINIA ARE BEING
ROBBED OF THEIR LEGISLATURE!
The preparations are under way, if
not already completed for this stupen-
dous crime.
Will the people of West Virginia
permit it?
