THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE.

The position of the Democrats Of the
Legislature in sanctioning a temper
airy agreement by which the Republi-
cans were permitted to go ahead with
the balloting for United States Senator
with an apparent majority of three,
may be held by some to have been a
compromise with fraud that should
never have been permitted as long as
there remained in Charleston a Demo-
crat with voice to protest against it,
but let those who may take this view
of the case look at the alternative pre-
sented. The Elkins-Scott gang were
desperate and determined to stop at no
outrage to steal the Senator. Had the
Democrats pursued any other curse
than that which they did there is no
knowing where the revolutionary work
of these utterly INSCRIPTIONS manipu-
lators would have stopped or into what
dangerous depths of actual revolution
they would have dragged this State and
its people. 1t was their programme,
which would have been carried out to
the letter, to Gust every Democrat in
the Senate by resolution. as Kidd was
ousted, without regard to his majority.

The Elkins henchmen were particular
ly anxious to do this and had fully
prepared TO do it, because it would

on Monday resolutions were introduced
in the House impeaching the titles of four
Republican member without the slight
est evidence Of any ~irregularitY as to their
election and qualification as members, the
technical objections cited amounting to
nothing. The action was made supremely
ridiculous by claiming that Delegate

poration.' In their haste they confound-

lutionary'' in all Observation-Disclosures.
Not that any sane person can see.
Delegate Frank ". Legge was not con-
founded with his father. He was, if he
is not now, in the employ of the B. &
O., and was actively engaged in said
position up to the very day he left for
Charleston to take his seat in the Leg
islature.
Hundreds of people right here in
Wheeling know this if the organ
doesn't.
As that constituencies and ignorant
sheet cites this case as a fair sample of
the others it mentions it is evident
there is good and substantial backing
for the Democratic contention in every
one of them, and that is the actual
fact.
This instance is a fair sample of how
lear the INSCRIPTIONS organ usually
permits itsel to get to the truth.

Scott crowd, on the Taylor county
case, would be amusing on account of
the utterly ridiculous character of the
misrepresentation they contain, were
it not for the infamy of the thing.
For example, to offset the open
theft of the seat of Senator Kidd,
Democrat, by the revolutionists of the
Senate who did not ever pretend to
justify it, the organ devotes much ed
itorial space to a pretended review of
the Taylor county case and, totally ig-
horing the evidence, the known and
admitted facts and putting the truth
out of the question, makes out simply
at will a case against the Democrats
to suit its dishonest purpose, accusing
the committee of the House of open
fraud and the most outrageous viola
tons of right, justice and fairness in
handling and recounting the ballots.
We shall not review this case now.
1t has been sufficiently gone over in
detail in these columns ana is made
still palmer in the report of the Leg
islative committee. Suffice it to say
that not one statement made by the
Intelligencer regarding that case from
beginning to end, not one sentence,
line or word of its utterances thereon
contains the slightest particle of truth.
The work of the committee was very
simple. There was nothing to do but
recount the ballots and not a single
thing was done, not a single ballot
counted one way or the other without
the approval of the Republican mem
Der of the committee. In fact, tie
Democratic members took special care
to do everything as that Republican
member wanted it done. The result
showed a loss of three votes to Dent,
Democrat, reducing his majority from
81 to "a. The organs reckless and sill
ly talk about certain marked ballots
which it alleges were changed by
someone not known nor specified is
simply a reflection on the Republican
county officials who had sole charge
of those baliots-no Democrat at any
time having access to them excert ait
er the boxes had been brou@,4t into OPP
en- court and unlocked in the presence
Of a large arrY y of Republicans and
their counsel and onlookers.
The attempt of the Elkins-Scott
gang TO steal this eat was the most
outrageous attempt to subvert popular
go eminent that has yet come to
light, always barring the open theft
by simple resolution of Senator Kids
seat and the seating in direct violation
of the Constitution of Pierson and
Getzendanner. But nothing the
Elkins-Scott banditti at Charleston
have done has exceeded in brazen
effrontery the deliberate falsehood
and misrepresentation of their Wheel
ing organ, which has deliberately
blinded itself to truth, honor and de-
cency.

THE TRIUMPH OF OUTRAGE AND
FRAUD.


FRAUD.
The political banditti at Charleston
are pursuing exactly the same insidi-
II stop-thief tactics they inaugurated
in 1888 in the F~leming-Goff contest.
They did not succeed in their effort
to steal the Governorship then, but
they have never ceased to howl fraud
in all their organs and from every
stump at the Democrats for unfolding
the sanctity of the ballot at that timer
The presentation of the truth and the
evidence did not stop them. The
plain truth and the evidence in black
and white does not stop them now.
That such villainous tactics have
since succeeded and in this case have
gained them a United States Senator
in violation of the Constitution and in
direct opposition to the plainly regis
tered will of the people, is sufficient
to give pause to the thinking
citizens of this State, who realize
there is no safety but IN popular rule.
The eminent success of this coterie
of political outlaws in this instance in
defeating the will of the people is CAL
culated to make them doubly bold in
their defiance of law and popular rule
in the future.
1t is necessary that the people
should be on their guard against this
desperate gang who care nothing for
law and order, or for the honor and
welfare Of the State when they stand
in the way of their own selfish
ambition and greed. The good name
of West Virginia demands that they
be voted out of power at the earliest
possible opportunity.

From basement to the attic,
And we are Democratic,
And that is why we sing.
We all will get together
In this January weather, i
And send you to the pawnshop
With your old robber ring!
You've had four years of fun
And roasted every one,
But when il 10 voting
We will not do a thing
But make you feel quite chilly
Knock YOU out and make you silly,
For we are here to bust
Your darned old ring.
We have got a lovely city,
And were going 10 make ii pretty,
And all the ancient 'rosebuds"
In the sewer we viii fling.
You must take a change of venue,
Up Salt river we will send you
For We are bound TO break
Your darned old ring,
To-day you'll hear the story
Where We climb on high to glory,
And then you'll find the business end
OF the bee that leaves his sting.
We will give you klondike weather
For the boys all move together
When they want to bust" the circie
