AN ECHO OF 1896.

The late Republican primary election
in Kanawha county appears to have
been even worse than that celebrated
and fraudulent affair held in Ohio
county four years ago, when everybody
who desired registered his vote as
often as he pleased. The Charleston
papers give interesting accounts of the
primary, and from them we gather
that the machine faction in power ar
rangeu to dictate a ticket at any and
every cost, and carried out the pro-
gramme to the letter. Money, alleged
to have been supplied by the Elkins
faction, appears to have been very
much in evidence, and the result was a
political scandal of parts. The Char
lesion Gazette says:
According to the testimony of Repub-
licanS. the most outrageous frauds were
practiced and the most shameless corrup-
ton was resorted to. The result shows
that the popular sentiment was against
the ElkinS faction. With the aid of unim-
tied Doodle in the hands of an expert
boOdler sent here for the purpose of hand
ling it, the unfair advantages that were
taken, in the manipulation of the pri-
mary, the corruption used in procuring
votes and the frauds employed in count
ing the ballots and making the returns.
the Elkins faction only pulled in. accord
ing to their own showing, by very close
margin With a fair and honest primary.
the elimination of the Elkins Doodle and
an honest count and return. there is every
reason to believe that the anti-ring ticket
would have swept the county with an
overwhelming majority The very fact
that on a total vote of nearly 1000, one
of the most hotly contested positions was
only carried by a majority of twelve
votes. gives some idea of what the SEN
timent of the party was. The further fact
that the ring committee refused recount
on this slender margin, in the face of the
abundant reason given i'm favor of re-
count is proof conclusive that the victor
iouS faction had no confidence in their
title and was afraid to consent to a re-
count made by themselves for fear that
II would lose out The very suggestion
to investigate the returns and examine
the evidence on which they We're made
threw them into fright and they retired
in secret session and destroyed the evil
dence, and the only evidence of the crook
edness of their work.
This shows up the Republican ring
methods to perfection. The bosses first
control their own organization by such
methods as may be necessary to secure
the desired result. and then they pro-
coed to do" the people. In Ohio coun-
ty the method is an old story. Just
now the programme is being worked
throughout the first district in the in
terest of Capt. Dovener, and the strings
are being pulled in the State at large
in favor of A. B. White and James K.
Hall. The Republican ring is utterly
and entirely INSCRIPTIONS, and it will
have its way until the people sit down
on it good and hard.

A WORD WITH MIR. CHEW.

The Register remarked yesterday
morning that Councilman Ross T.
Chew had written a very good card,
but that he had omitted the most i'm
portant feature from his letter-infor-
nation as to bribery or attempted
bribery. He has written a second
card. supplementing his first. Mr..
Chew is evidently in possess
sion of quite cluster of facts. He
can throw a good deal of light upon
the situation. The public is looking
to him for information. Will Mr..
Chew measure up to the expectation of
the people? If he will set down in
black and white his personal informa-
ton, as to bribery or attempted brib-
cry, he will deserve we'll of his con-
stituents, and pave the way for the
full, fair and thorough investigation

Governor Atkinsons argument in
his Fairmont address that high taxa
ton is a blessing, will be taken cum
grano sails by most people. Excessive
taxation benefits nobody except it be
the man in Office, while it is burden

economical administration is a very
much better policy. 1t is also good,
clean, square Democratic doctrine.
