KENDALL TURNED DOWN.
The White Ring Too Much for the
Young Man.

Just as we expected and an
nounced some time since in this
paper, the White ring would sacri-
fec every one else in the mad race
for Governor. The present State
administration naturally expected
denomination, excepting the Gov
ernor, who is Ineligible, and as
Kendall, the Treasurer, is from
Parkersburg, it was well understood
that he must be gotten out OF the
way in order to give White clear
sailing, as two State Offices would
not be given to the same town. The
White crowd therefore proceeded
to make Kendall believe that he
should cuter the race for Congress
and Succ sed Romeo Freer, as the
latter at that time was whooping up
things for Governor and swearing
that he was in the race to win, and TO
fight it to the finish, etc. So they
got young Mr.. Kendall to believe
that he had a through track and
the right of way for Congress, and
being ambitious, this tickled him
more than little. one horse State
Treasurership at $1,000 per year,
and he announced himself a candi-
date for Congress and not for re-
nomination for Treasurer. This
took him out of Whites way, as the
young man has ever since imagined
that he really was a candidate for
Congress, but as we remarked some
time since, the Congressional con-
vention for that district will not be
held till after the State convention
and Whites nomination, and about
that time Mr.. Kendall will find him
self out all around. In fact, the
White crowd are already "lettinp
the cat out of the bag" since they
have no opposition and he is as
good as nominated now.
Last week the Wood county Re-
publicans held their conventions to
elect their delegates to the various
conventions, and the Kendall ticket
for delegates to the Congressional
convention were all defeated, and
the motion to instruct for him voted
down. 1t is thought this will end
his candidacy. The White ring is
blamed for it, as they feel sure now
OF their man, and are showing their
hand earlier in the game than they
would have done with stiff opposi-
ton.

EX.sHERIFF SHAW
Calls Down the Judge and the Journal
and Sustains the Statements OF The
Argus.

hiNGwooD, VIVA, May 7, 1900.
EDITOR ARGUS 81 notice that
Judge Shaw, in an article published
in the Terra Alta Republican of the
last week, and Horatio Seymour
Whetsell, editorially in the last num-
Der of the Journal, denounced your
statements in THE ARGUS concern
ing the means used by them, and
others, to defeat me as a candidate
for Sheriff as false.
While have no desire to parade
certain matters showing the incon-
sistency of either Judge Shaw or
Mr.. Whetsell before the public, l
do want to say that neither your
statement concerning Judge Shaw's
inhdeiity to me, nor his mode of
procedure to defeat me, is false. In
some way and somehow you hit the
nail on the head, both as regards
the Judges famous campaign at my
heels and the representations that
he is reported to have made to the
people. He seems to have struck
no snag until he arrived at Tunnel
ton, where my friends pressed him
so closely that he got nettled and
had to admit to my friend, John w.
Hardesty, and perhaps others, that
he was a wolf in sleeps clothing.
AS to the financial loss that | sus-
tanned at his hands as Deputy Sher-
lift, the books and his obligations are
in my hands to speak for themselves,
and if Judge Shaw or Mr.. Whetsell
desire affidavits of the people con-
corning the defaced tickets, and
concerning other outrages perpe-
trated on the voters at the polls on
April 2Ist, | will take great pleasure
in furnishing all that they require to
sustain my position.
If Mr.. Whetsell printed no extra
tickets, as he alleges, except for
myself, then we must understand
that the defaced tickets were those
sent out to the Election Commits
sioners. say that the tickets were
defaced in great numbers at Terra
Alta and Tunnelton, the two points
that | visited on the day of election.
The Tunnelton tickets was the work
of one man, done with blue ink or
indellible pencil. have one of the
Tunnelton tickets in my possession.
To say the least, the whole affair
was an outrage and not in conform
ity with the law, as understand it.
If Primary election is to be held,
1t must be done under the law in
force, which is the Australian law.
No ticket should have been placed
in the hands of the voters, except
by the Election officer in the cleo
ton room, and no Election officer
could lawfully have served as such
until he had taken the oath, as pre-
scribcd by law, which was not done,
as J understand, by anyone The
rules Of a party must be in compli
ance with the law, otherwise it is Of
no effect
If Judge Shaw or the Journal man
want any more points, will take
great pleasure in presenting them.
The half has not been told yet
Respectfully,
LEROY SHAW.

The condition of Mayor Smith,
OF Charleston, who was elected a
retormer and honestly tried to carry
1t out, is bad back set for the re-
form business in such cess pools as
Charleston. Mayor Smith started
out to purify the administration of
justice in the Capital City, and soon
got into such deep water that he
could not swim out with the heavy
load he was trying to carry, and to
make the matter worse, it was hot
water that he was in. Both sides
and all factions worried and deviled
him so with petitions, circumstances.
grievances, prayers, entreaties,
threats, etc, till it brought on ner-
vous prostration and indications OF
mental collapse. The first unde
niable indication of insanity, to the
people of Charleston, at least. was
the order of the Mayor that the ses-
sions of the City Council should be
opened with prayer, instead of a
cork-screw, as heretofore. This was
too much, and when they found that
ne was really in earnest about it,
they gathered him up and took him
off to Cincinnati to a private sana-
tarium for treatment.

THE APPEAL OF NEELY.
The Department of Justice Surprised
by the Move.

+, The Department Of Justice is completely
taken aback by the news of Neely's ep
peal. 1t was suggested to the Attorney
Cenetsizfhree days ago that this might be
the DEFENDANTS next move. but he waived
the idea aside or the ground that there
would be nothing on which the defence
could base habeas corpus application ii
Judge Lacombe's order had been signed,
placing Neely in the custody of an officer
who was to take him to Cuba.
The papers in the case have not reached
here yet. so that it is impossible for any
authoritative opinion to be formed at the
Department rs TO Judge Wallace's reason
for entertaining the application at ali, even
to deny il, and thus establish ground for
appeal. 1t is thought in some quarters
that the application may have been made to
relieve Neely of his present detention on
the plea that the United States Govern
ment had simply locked him up on tae
charge. which it had no intention OF prose-
cutting. in order to hold him for extradi-
ton On another charge, and that this wss
a frivolous proceeding, interfering with his
liberty for no sufficient cause.

YACHTS SAIL BACK TO NEWPORT

FresheninE Breeze.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Aug. IL
The harbor fronting this quaint old town

morning when the sun rose over the New
York Yacht Club cruising fleet lying at
anchor here. 1t is not often nowadays that
more than two or three yachts are an
chored here at one time. and merchant ves-
sells only come into the harbor when seek
ing refuge from Storm In consequence the
natives and summer guests here rose up
as one man and extended welcoming arms
to the yachtsmen. but at the same time
they did not hesitate to take advantage of

of sail boats put cut to the anchored yachts
this morning, and those who had not

these places to the harbor were taxed

not take place because some one forgot
to put electric lights in the stand which
had been erected for the occasion. The
band returned to Cottage City, very dis

The yachtsmen were congratulating
themselves last night on the splendid run
from Newport TO this point. The wind
blew steadily from the outh-southwest
and the racers made the Vineyard light

Mr. Vanderbilt did not know that he WAS
