rying Razor Concealed

Augustus Chemp. colored, and living at

day charged before Judge Kimball with dis
orderly conduct and carrying a razor con-

ALeMLs COUNTY CompIlcatlon.


A very peculiar complication exists
in Lewis county by reason Of a long
pending case in the courts. involving
the election Of public officer. Doubt
less legal history furnishes no more
extraordinary condition Of AFFAIRS. A
correspondent in Weston a gentleman
Of high character, furnishes the Intel
Iigencer with the facts in the case. It
seems that some years ago man was
given a certificate of election, and held
the office Of clerk Of the county court
OF Lewis, when very large proportion
of the people who believed he was not
elected by the voters. In 1895 the
same man was again a candidate on
the Democratic ticket for the same po-
sitlon. He was defeated, as shown by
the returns Of the commissioners. two
out Of the three at each Of the precincts
being Democrats. But a Democratic
county court counted out the Republi-
can and gave the Democrat the certia-
cate of election,
AT the end of the year one Democratic
member of the court completed his term
and retired. succeeded by Republican.
An investigation was held. which de-
veloped the fact that the ballots had
been scratched while in the hands of
the Democratic asplrant, the county
clerk, who was the custodian of the
ballots. Between the date of the re-
turn Of the ballots and the date Of
the canvasslng packages of ballots had
been opened and re-wrapped. One
citizen identified his ballot. and pointed
out a forgery. The court decided in
favor of the Republican.
The Democratic claimant carried the
case into the Lewis county circuit court,
whose presiding Judge is a first cousin
Of the claimant. The case was delayed
for a year, the near relationship pre-
venting a hearing before Judge Ben
nett. The natural procedure would
have been to refer the case to an adj
Joining circuit, This case, however,
was sent to the remotest circuit. In
January. 1899, 1t was argued before
Judge Faulkner, at Martinsburg. No
decision has yet been rendered. The
Intelligencer's correspondent wants to
know II there is any method to compel
action in the case. He asks: "If a
man whom a court Of competent jurls-
dictIon has declared was elected must
submit to the non-action of court to
which the case was referred, while the
opposing claimant draws with regu-
larity a salary and fees to which an
other man is entitled, what is to be
done?"
The Intelllgencer Is unable to answer
this question. It cannot critlcIse the
position of Judge Faulkner, whose rea-
sons for the delay 1t cannot know, and
would not impugn. Only the court IT.
self is empowered to give the inform
alton desired. To assume motive of
a court would be In violation Of the
respect due to that court. But aside
from this phase of 1t, It is certain that,
considering the record of the case, as
given above, legally elected officer is
being deprived of his dues. and a de-
feated opponent is reaping the benefits
the people intended his Opponnt should
have. The case being in the hands OF
the court, Its decision should be await
ed, and not anticipated.
