until they were blind and deaf from the
exertion, but what could they accom-
plish with the ballots-the proof-de-
stroyed-burned?
The present system may be bad, but
that which the Governor recommends
would be infinitely worse. Think of
what a majority the able election Off
GERS of Preston county, the land of
VIM. M. o. Dawson, for instance, could
roll up under those conditions! The
thought is enough to make ones hair
stand. Notorious frauds such as those
and others in Marshall and Taylor
would be made doubly easy and all
fear of discovery removed, while the
people would be powerless to have their
expressed will obeyed.
No, no, Governor, things are bad as
they are with the partisan county
court, but they would be infinitely
worse if the opportunity for fraud were
thus presented so temptingly in the
little voting precinct room where any
old thing could be put on the tally
sheet and the ballots Immediately
burned to prevent correction of mis-
takes or discovery of fraud.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-01-13
THIS WOULD NEVER Do.

Governor Atkinson's recommended
ton concerning the election law and
looking TO the avoidance of recounts by
county courts. always more or less
open TO partisan influence, is doubtless
well enough intentioned but is sadly
lacking in practicality
If as the Governor suggests the pre-
cinct officers were compelled to burn
the ballots Immediately after the first
official count we would but transfer
the scene of partisan trickery and fraud
and simplify matters immensely for
dishonesty disposed election officials,
who would then have a clear field for
all the partisan rascality they chose
to indulge in and without any fear
whatever of discovery, since they would
Immediately burn the tell-tale ballots
which alone could convict them.
Think of what a snap it would be
for dishonest election officials to fig
ure up any kind of totals they pleased
and then burn the ballots behind them.

their fraud! The minority officials

| is too wild. too utterly absurd to ex-
cite anything but ridicule and contempt
among grown men, YET it was actually
urged upon the Republican caucus
Wednesday night and strongly advo-
Gated.
Is it not high time that this sort of
thing ceased, in the interest of the good
name of this State and it's standing
abroad? What must intelligent citiz-
ems of other States, who read of these
things, think of us? Will capital care
about investing in a State governed by
men capable of such public utterances?
1t is a burning shame that these I'M
scrupulous, irresponsible, blathering
politicians should thus be permitted to
sacrifice to their brutal and dishonest
greed and lust of place, the good name
of our State, which has had a hard en-
ough time living down an unearned re-
putation for lawlessness.
In the name of the State, in the
name of the people, regardless of party,
let these irresponsible blatherskites be
sent to the rear at Charleston.

CHOKE THEM OFF.

The revolutionary antics of the office
holders contingent at Charleston in
their efforts to run the Legislature have
reached the idiotic stage. Ii has been
a rapid descent from the national mil
itary force proposition to foolish.
windy buster with nothing more be-
hind it than an effort to keep the cour-
age of the Republican majority in the
Senate up to the sticking point. The
efforts of the officehoiders' gang in this
direction would now excite amusement
where they before caused Indignation.
were it not for the fact that their reck-
less talk is injurious to the good name
Of the State. For instance, Collector
White. who seems to have constituted
himself chief buffoon of the show, in
the Republican caucus Wednesday
night introduced a resolution to unseat
every Democrat in the Senate if the
Democrats of the House should unseat
Brohard and Via-defeated Republican
candidates who do not possess cnrti-
ficates of election and were placed on
the roll in plain violation of law for
the express purpose of forcing the
Democrats into the attitude of unseat
ing Republicans through contest pro-
ceedings. The action of the Secretary
OF State in these cases was unprece-
denied and unlawful, and done merely
to furnish an excuse for the revolution
airy scheme to throw legally elected
Democrats out of the Senate.
There is very serious doubt. how
ever, whether a sufficient number of
Republican senator's can be brought to
perpetrate this unblushing infamy,
which would eternally damn every SEN
ator who gave it the aid of his vote.
There are honest men and good citiz-
ems on the Republican side in the Sen
ate who are willing to support any legi-
innate party scheme. but will balk at
the outrageous proposition to steal the
seats OF regularly elected Democrats
by force. They have an illegal ma
jority Of eight in the Senate-eount-
ing Pierson aud Getzendanner-but il
is exceedingly doubtful II enough Of
these senators can be gotten 10 lend
themselves to the proposed steal 20
carry u through. Hence the revolu-
tionary antics of the officeholders' gang
and the wildly lurid demands OF the
buffoon-in-chief The idea seemed 70
be that II the absurd proposition 10 I'm
seat everx Democrat IN the Senate
were seriously preached. maybe the
proposed crime OF unseating but one or
two would seem so small by compar-
ison that its preparation would be per-
mitted
Ii is pertinent to ask here If these
Republican leaders, who are members
Of the State administration and ma
tional fficeholders-men of supposed
standing in the community and who
are at the head of affairs in this State
really think the people of West Vir-
ginia are children or dwelling idiots to
calmly permit such an unheard-of
scheme of anarchy and revolution as
this
The proposition to unseat the entire
Democratic side in the Senate if the
House does its sworn duty and unseats
two men who have no shadow of legal
title to seats. is the cap sheaf of all
the crazy revolutionary buster that
has emanated from the desperate Re-
publican leaders since the election. 1t

AN ANTI-RING DOCUMENT.

The city debt statement published by
the Register yesterday is an excellent
campaign document for the opponents
Of the city ring.
The ring dare not brag about the
good showing made therein through
the reduction of the city debt by about
| $4,000 last year. That showing was
made in direct opposition to the ring S
own policy of refunding the city debt
and not paying cent of it, except in
interest to the bondholders, for ten
years to come.
By paying off this SAT 900 of debt last
year a goodly amount of annual in
terest charge on the taxpayers is cut
off entirely and saved to the people.
Next year the burden will be lightened
still further and so on, until by the
time we would have been called upon to
begin payment on the refunded city
debt under the recent proposed refund
ing ordinance of the ring we will be
almost, if not entirely, out of debt.
The Register opposed that refunding
scheme single-handed, but the people
were with it against the ring and it
was defeated.
If the ring had had its way and the
refunding ordinance had been adopted
not cent of this payment would have
been made, and the city debt state
ment would to-day show us owing as
much as a year ago and paying as
much in interest charge to the bond
holders, while ten years hence we
would still be confronted by the same
old debt, although we would have paid
vast portion of it in interest charges.
Under the present common sense ar
rangement of pay-as-you-go or as you
can we will, as stated, have prac-
tically liquidated the entire debt by
the time the refunding ordinance pro-
posed to begin the first payment on it.
How do the people like the showing
made under the popular and common
sense system as compared with the
posed to continue a burdensome in
terest-bearing debt on the people in
definitely merely for the sake of get
ting their hands onto more money to
spend-money that would have been
spent long ere this needlessly and ex-
travagantly or in hiding ring deficien-
cies?
The ring makes an excellent financial
showing for the city, not because of
the rings good management but be-
cause the people would not permit its
pet financial scheme to go through.
And it is not because of, but in spite
of, the ring that the city is not now
confronted with a hopeless burden of
everlasting debt instead of a bright
future and clean balance sheet plain
ly in sight
At the coming city election the peo-
pie will be asked to choose between
the corrupt and incompetent rule of the
ring and clean and enlightened
municipal government conducted on
business principles AID in the interest
of the people.
No good citizen with the best in
terests Of the city and the taxpayers
at heart can hesitate in his choice
here.
