A CARD FROM COL. JENKINS.
He Gives the Facts In the Contest Case
In Pleasant District.

EpIroR ARGUS
AT the Republican Primary Election held
IN this county April III, 1900, Perry Me
,heny and myself were the recognized can
dlda,es for Commissioner of the County
Court from Pleasant District.
The votes certified at said election by the
persons holding the same were as follows:
CHpKsrER.
Me'heny. ......... 10 jenkins. 49,. IS
VALLEY PoISr.
Metheny ...,..... o, Jenkins 30
io'"'. '..'..... 70 .............7S
There was thus tic vote as certified by
the sworn statement of persons holding the
election. a few days later Mr.. Me,heny
applied to Chairman Flynn for recount,
and without any notice being given to me a
recount was made and majority of one
vote found for Mr.. Meiheny. not being
willing TO be hanged without, being present
at the hanging, l contested said election on
the following grounds
The Committee erred by admitting vote
not certified 10y the election commissioners,
and no, giving me notice respecting the
same
2. MIR. Luther Martin, Democratic voter
for for Mr.. Metheny at said election, the
Committee erred in counting this vote.
After throwing out said vote there is ma.
lority of one vote for me, but the Com.
mittee decided the vote xx.s . 81. T.. Al.
absence of any special rule for such case
IN the regulations which govern primary
elections in this State, recourse mus,
plainly be had in the rules governing gen.
eral elections. These rules declare that in
case of tie one of the persons who is so
tied must be chosen. There was no vacancy
in this instance. l submit that the Com.
mi,tce did not act according to the spiri,
and letter of the law.
Mr.. Metheny and myself had paid our
assessment fees and were the only legal
candidates voted for at said primary cleo
ton for the Office in question. The Com
m'ttee had no right to put new man on
the ticket principle is involved in this
matter which should not be violated. II is
because of this principle, rather than mere
personal feeling that make this protest
Will the voters of Pleasant District ratify
the action of the Comfy Committee ?
Throughout this affair Chairman Flynn
has treated me with all courtesy and fair
ness and my criticism of the Committees
action is not intended to apply personally
To him.

An Exploded Bogie.

The Philadelphia Press takes up" 4
dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
West Virginia about the alleged coloni-
cation OF negroes In this state. and pro-
ceeds to hammer the life gu. OF the
lie" Negro colonization is an old
story with the Democracy OF West yir,.
gin!a. When the party has no other
Issue they fall back on the. negro. In
the state convention at Parkershurg
the present candidate for auditor ami
the chairman OF the Democratic state
committee was lauded by one OF his In
discreet friends for his ability In discov-
.erins "one-legsed 'nigsers'." one OF the
most beautiful protoplasms OF Demo-
cratic. wit We have yet noticed.
Negro colonization has been the cry
of the bankrupt, issueless Democracy
for some. years-erer since 1t counted
out General Gon. up to the tine Colonel

gina q republican form OF govern
men,,sr. and the same false charge is now
being made. 1t is a makcshit. TO dis
tract attention from the deviou. DEVIL
try OF the Knight OF the Purple Pencil.
1t won't work, because It has been over
worked.
In, speaking Of the dispatch TO the
Baltimore Sun the Philadelphia Press
says:
Yves, Virginia is one OF the few southern
states In which the negroes are allowed
TO vote. though only small minority OF
the voters. Hence the Baltimore Sun sets
up the cry OF negro colonization ny the
Republicans. II declares that between
S,oGu and 1000 negroes have been brought

manager In Washington as saying TINT
the '..Republlcans already have enough
negroes in the state TO corry'it." an in
vention too silly to mar the columns OF
quotes this mythical Republican manager
as saying that 'the purpose Of bringing
the negroes into the state was to carry IL
for, the Republicans" The Sun then tells
out tina, purpose are Injurins West
Virginia, as follows:
Every possible excuse for flooding the
country with these. negroes from the
has been made use OF. New mines have
been opened In the counties of Barbour,
Tucker. Harrison. Faycttc and others.
and thousands OF the negro colonIsts have
been employed there. Then the railroad
work In the state has brought in several
thousand more. The Short Line railroad.
being constructed between Clarksburg
and New Mar,insriile. has employed
nearly five thousand men. nearly an OF
whom are negroes. The Coal and Iron
railroad, being constructed between FL
kins and Mnr!inton, where It Is to con-
meet with the Greenbrier branch OF the
Chesapeake & Ohio road. hns given en-
ployment 10 hundreds OF these negroes.
It Is evidently the opinion OF the Bal.
timorc Sun that West Virginia shnuld
have law on Its statute books TO pre-
vent the Republicans from opening new
mines. building railroads and doing other
wicked things OF that kind which give
employment to negroes. These railroads.
OF course. are being built and the mines
opened simply to colonizc negroes to carry
the c:tctien In that state next November.

stuff must be written for!

The results OF the Republican primar-
les on Saturday are most gratifying,
there having been a free and
fair expression Of the; voters
without regard to the par
Eticular influences OF any candidate or
set OF candidates. The delegates se-
lccted to the county convention, which
meets next Saturday, have very I'm
portant part to play in the politics Of
the state. and they should use the power
they have to select a legislative ticket
that will command the confidence and
respect OF all classes of voters. The In
$teillgencer believes they will do this.
The nomination OF Judge Hugus for
reelection as judge OF the criminal
court is a deserved compliment, and
meets with the appreciation OF the best
elements in both parties. The position
to which Judge Hugus asplres is one
that should be uninflueneed by vulgar
ward politics, and the sIntelligencer is
glad to say that the nominee OF the Re-
publican party stopped to no methods
to. gain q denomination that. did not
comport with the honor. and dignity as
ISOLATED with the judicial character OF
the trust the people have. once before
reposed in him. Judge Hugus will be
elected to serve a second term, as he
we'll deserves to be.

An Anomalous Position.


We do not know OF any public officer
who has BEEN placed In such an anoma-
lous position as that now enjoyed" By
Senator McEnery. OF Louisiana. While
the Louisiana constitutional convention
was casting about FOR some scheme to
,disfranchise the negroes without con-
flicting with the constitution the IA
nous grandfather clause WIS hit
upon. But In this they were mistaken,
for It is In direct violation Of tho four-
Eteenth and fifteenth amendments. This
clause gives the suffrage to any man
whether he can read or write. whcther
he owns property or not, provided he
can prove that he Is son or grandson
OF a citizen. one who could vote be-
fore January /. 1863. That was the date
whrn suffrage was extended to the col
orcd man. Any man with hall mind
can pcreeiye the unconstitutionalityi OF
the provision. Senator McEnery saw 1t
in Washington when, the subject was
before the constitutional convention.

state. 4 &

Parn,mountcY Of Prosperity.

The Democrats are making their en-
tire campaign or what they term I'm
pcriallsm. that Is opposition to the man
agement OF the Philippines. This Is
done to obscure the real issues of the
campaign: 1t is done to mslead and de-
celve the people. Just as they w.rt
mislead by false promises and false
statements In '92. Will the people be
Z deceived? The great question for the
people to decide is protection 10 home
interests, what is best for the people,
how can We keep the present prosperity,
maintain good wages, constant employ
Z ment for the people, keep the dinn!:r
pals full. how can we maintain the
tariff and preserve home markets for
our people and not give them to for
elgners. how can we keep sound money
and all the blessings OF good govern
ment which we now enjoy. Should the
people change the wise laws that we
have now and give up the good times,
and forget the seventy millions OF peo-
pie at home for some imaginary va
gary about Imperialism, 10000 miles
away7
The reply to this would be that the
government Is in danger. the constitu-
ton will be destroyed. This has al
ways been the cry Of the Democratic
! party in every emergency or crisis. This
government Is in much greater danger
from imperialism and destruction OF her
!. liberties from the Democratic party
drifting Into Populism and anarchy
than 1t Is in putting down a rebellion
against our authority on territory cedeA
I TO. us by Spain. and acquired by Demo-
cratIc.votes In ratitylng the treaty with
Spain. q
The paramount issue In this campaign
Is to keep employment for the people.
!. to make the country prosperous. to
have sound money, good business. good
wages and good prices. So long as we
have these blessings there Is no danger
Of imperialism, and all this talk about
Imperialism is to deceive the people.
Just as they were. deceived before by
the Democrats in 1892

Warm Water For Cattle.

Those who warm the water for their
COWS, or some who do so, say that the
COWS need to drink but once a day.
With the water at a temperature of
sixty degrees they will fill themselves
with enough for twenty-four hours,
and as there is no chilling of the sys-
TEN or the digestive organs, the di-
gestion goes along steadily, and the
milk product is much greater than
when they are watered twice day
with cold water. We have no doubt
that COWS could become accustomed
to taking enough water at one time to
last oil the day and night, but We
should prefer that they had it twice a
day if they were ours. We never had
a cow that was good one for milk
that would not drink, and drink
heartily, twice every day in winter, if
the water was not colder than fifty de-
grees, and when We have had one that
would not do so we always found her
neither a prolific mixer, persistent
mixer, or an easy fatteuer. Some
times giving such COW little extra
salt in her feed will stimulate her
thirst so that she will drink more
freely and regularly. While it was
our custom to salt regularly we found
that some COWS seemed to want more
than others, and We tried to make
sure that each one had enough,
though sometimes after buying q COW
we found it best to limit her on salt
