WHY THEY WANT sCHERR

A correspondent of the Register pre-
sents to our readers this morning a
very interesting argument as to why
the Republican magnates and leaders
in West Virginia earnestly desired the
nomination of Arnold c. Scherr and
are enthusiastically working for his
election. Truly, there is a method in
their anxiety for the success of Mr..
Scherr, as perusal of the letter signed
by Burlington will show Our
friend James K. Hall, by the way, ought
to be vastly interested in this little
matter 1t may explain to him some
things which up to this time have ap-
peared dark and not easy of under
standing

NEW MARTINSvILLE, w. Va. Sep
TENDER 30-The Republicans, during
the term of court here Just closed. nat
uralized, in some manner, thirty-seyen
italians and it is supposed intend 20
vote them in fWetzel county, If possible,
Notwithstanding the latter part OF Sec
ton sixteen, Of chapter three, OF the
Uode, says: Nor shall any person IN
the employment OF any Incorporated
company, or Of the State. be deemed a
resident of any county. or Of any cleo
ton precinct therein by reason Of be-
ing employed in said county or election
precinct" These Italians are employed
BY the Short Line railroad, and are not
entitled TO vote in Wetzel. In fact. az
soon as the railroad is completed. or
sooner. these Italians will leave. The
clerk told the Italians the Zee for the
certificate was $3.50 each One Of the
Italians replied I'VE no pay. man
come up the line and told Us he pay"
There IS no doubt the Republicans are
LAYING the foundation for IN immense
amount of illegal voting in November
next. and II oehooyes the Democrats 70

EIkins Removes a Union Soldier.

CHdIieS ION CdZeIIe.
Senator Elkins, who is now appealing to
the old soldiers of this county to re-elect
him to the Senate, should explain why 1t
was he caused the removal of Capt. Chas.
E. Wells, a gallant Union soldier and a
Grand Army man, from the office of
United States marshal two years before
his term expired and appointed In his
stead Capt. J. K. Thompson, a confederate
soldier.
He should also explain to them the re-
mark which he made to committee of old
soldiers of Marion county, who appealed
to him not to appoint a confederate SOL
der, n the place of a Union soldier, when
he told them that he was compelled to
appoint Thompson as a matter of politics.
and that the old soldiers would forget it
within less than six months.
The committee to whom the Senator
made this response can be easily had and
the evidence can be produced is the Sena-
tor desires.

"imperialism, so-called, but expansion

AN INTERESTING COMPARISON

In this issue of the Register is pre-
sented a comparison of the expendi-
lures of Democratic and Republican
administrations at Charleston which
will be of the greatest interest to the
voters of the State. The tabulated fig
ures have been prepared with the
greatest care and utmost fairness, from
official sources, and the facts are fully
explained by the accompanying COM
ments. They show conclusively and
beyond a doubt that under Republican
rule the taxpayers are paying twenty
dollars for that which cost but four
teen dollars under the Democracy,

WHERE ARE THOSE STAMPS.

The Register has received from Hon.
T. R. Carskadon, Prohibition nominee
for Governor of West Virginia, letter
with enclosures.
1t appears that about week ago Mr..
Carskadon sent to the Intelligencer
the paper that is always fair letter
enclosing a challenge to Senator Steph-
en- B. Elkins and A. B. White. Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, to joint
debate with him upon certain charges
preferred by Mr.. Carskadon against the
Republican party. Mr.. Carskadon also
asked for extra copies of the inte'li-
gencer containing his challenge, and
enclosed stamps for the copies atore-
said
Mr.. Carskadon now writes 20 the
Register:
THE Intelligencer was disccurteous
enough not to publish orreturn my COM
munication, and kept the Stamps, en-
closed for return, etc"
Mr.. Carskadon is entitled to synlpa-
thy-also, to his stamps. Tie editor

From One BIunacr to Another.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Senator Hanna joys along with easy con-
fidence in himself from one hurtful blum
der to another. If, as he now states, he
did not say in his Chicago address that
there are no combines of capital and
that there are no combines that work in
jury to the people, the question incident
ally arises, Why did ne not do so? If he
spoke of trusts at all, why did he confine
himself to the comparatively inconsequent
statement of his unbelief in the existence
of single trust, in the meaning of the
law, in the whole country? The platform
makers mentioned them; the Presidential
candidates mentioned them. Why did the
national chairman ignore them?

CdAARKSBURG. w. Va, September
30.-Bishop Cranston preached at the
opera house this morning to an Inn
mense throng OF people. Hundreds OF
persons failed to get in the house and
returned disappointed. He took as his
text Genesis l., 31st-"And God saw
everything he made. and behold 1t was
very good"
His sermon was OF a high order,
ranking him among the great theolo-
gists. AT the afternoon session me-
mortal services were held and then the
class of deacons and elders were or
dained, which was a very impressive
ceremony
At night the anniversary of the mis-
sionary society was celebrated. The adj
dress was delivered by Rev. w. f. Old
ham. Then Rev. A. B. Kicker spoke
on the twentieth century forward
movement.
The next annual conference will be
held at Huntington. Conference Will
likely adjourn Monday.

without corresponding benefit to the
people. In a word. there has been
gross and inexcusable extravaganza at
Charleston during the past three and
one-half years, and it is an entirely
justifiable inference that with another
four years of Republicanism there will
be a still larger expenditure OF
the public money. This year Is the
one to nip this sort of thing in the
bud by the election of the Democratic
ticket and return to old-time economy
and simplicity in the administration of
State affairs.
