More About Getzendanner.

But the Senate of West Virginia was
not through using Mr.. Getzendanner as
an instrument of outrage upon the people
when it got him seated in 1897. In
1898 the war with Spain came on, and
Mr.. Getzendanner accepted commits
sion as captain of volunteers in West
Virginia regiment. There is no inhi-
bition in the Constitution of the State
that is more plain or unmistakable than
that no member of the Legislature
shall, while he is still member, hold
any other lucrative office under the
State or National government. Know
ing this to be the law, when the cleo
ton of 1898 came around. the Dem
ocrats of the Thirteenth Senatorial
district nominated and elected Mr. VIM.
Campbell to succeed Getzendanner
in the body to which he had been ele-

The outrages of 1899.

After the revolutionary proceedings
of 1897 the outrages of the session of
1899 easily followed. Finding that the
Democrats had elected to the House a
majority large enough to overcome on
joint ballot the Republican majority In
the Senate, and with a view to control
the election of United States senator.
the Republican secretary of state, who
is also the chairman of the Republican
State executive commute. put on the
roll of members of the House, which
it :, his duty to make out, the names
of number of Republicans who were
not elected. in place of the names Of

that the capitol would be made to flow
in blood If the Republican rule or ruin
crowd was not allowed to have its
way. To save the State from the dis
grace of having martial law declared,
or having other trouble that would
cause loss of life. the Democrats en-
tered into an agreement whereby the
Dent case in the House, as well as the
Kidd case in the Senate, should be held
up, and both seats left vacant until
after the election of the United States
senator. With these two Democratic
votes thus disposed of, and with the
two other illegal votes in the Senate
those Of Getzendanner and Pierson,
whose acceptance of commissions in
the army had vacated their seats in
the Senate according to the law-the
Republicans were enabled to secure an
apparent majority rtheir candidatefor
United States senator, whereupon, the
urgent necessity for Republican ma
jority on joint ballot having passed,
Kidd and Dent took their seats with
out lurther opposition.

to render himself fit object for the
contempt of decency, abasing himself
to the point OF keeping watch upon the
ballots of the purchasable voters, and
signalling to his pals outside the poll
whom to pay for woes rightly cast.
So open and shameless was the self
prostitution OF the man who occupies
the office of Chief Executive of the
STATE that it was surprise even to
those who know him. When these pri-
pnaries were over and the vote was an
nounced it was found one candidate OF
tie Governor and his feIlow-machin-
lists had received majority of but 10
in a total vote of almost 1000, and
the defeated candidate and his friends
asked for recount. To this the Gov
ernor and his faction replied by-burn-
ing the ballots. There is said to be
species of honor among thieves that
keeps them from robbing one another.
what word will describe the class OF
men among whom even the honor Of
thieves has no place!

A Thin Pretext.

A Thin Pretext.
The pretext upon which the Repub-
lican members advised the unseating
of Shaffer was that he had received SO
votes cast upon the ballots of the Ma
tional Democratic party, which, they
claimed, should not have been counted
for him. The minority report showed
that the IS National Democratic votes
were legally cast for Shaffer. and that
they were properly counted for him.
Mr.. Shaffer has been made the nominee
of the National Democratic party by
means of the nominating papers re-
quired by law, signed by the proper
proportion of voters. and duly fled
with the clerk of the Circuit Court of
Jefferson county, who properly notified
the clerks of the Circuit Courts of
Berkeley and Morgan counties. Act
ing upon this notice the commission
ers printed the name of Mr.. Shaffer
upon the National Democratic ballots
as the law requires. There was no at
tack made upon the right OF any man
who cast his vote for Shaffer to vote
in the election, the entire case for
Getzendanner resting upon Skaters
right to have counted for him the votes
cast for him upon the National Demo-
cratic ballots. The same day upon
which the reports were made to the
Senate Mr.. Farr, Republican mem
Der, moved that the report of the ma
jority, with the accompanying resolu-
ton to seat Getzendanner, be taken up
for Immediate consideration. He was
afraid to give Senators time to think
the matter over for fear there would
be found enough honest men on the
Republican side to prevent the outrage
recommended by the Republican ma
jority of the committee from being
consummated. But the dose was too
nauseous for even the strong Repub-
lican stomach, and three, Repu bIicans
Senators Fast, Gramm Gpd Young
voting with the five Democrats present
and voting, the motion failed to recs,iye
two-thirds of those present and voting,
and the resolution had to go over one
day under the rules. The next day,
however, the infamy reached consum-
nation, and the resolution 10 turn out
the Democratic Senator who had been
elected and to put in the Republican
who had not been elected, was adopted
Senator Gramm, who had voted against
immediate consideration, had been stiff
fened up in the meantime, and voted
with the majority to rerpetrate the
wrong; Senator Fast, desiring to have
the appearance of decency, though
lacking the courage to earn it, lodged
the roll call and did not vote. Sen
ator U. G. Young, the one Republican
who stood firm for the right, and re.
fused to prostitute his honor for the
sake of gaining a partisan advantage
both voted and spoke against the reso,
luton. But even with the large major
ity which the Republicans had in tn,
Senate, the leaders were afraid to lie
the matter be discussed fully in tn,
Senate and they invoked the aid of tn,
previous question to cut offdebate, fore
ing their infamous action through il
silence and in shame.

The Usurpation OF Power.

The usurpation by the Republican
party of power not given by the Con-
stitution has been SO bold and unscru-
oulous as to startIe those who believe
in constitutional government. 1t has,
for the purpose of securing control of
the Legislature, turned out Democrats
who were legally elected, suspended
others whose rights to seats we're SO in
disputable as to be beyond attack,
putting in their places Republicans
who were not entitled thereto, and
keeping in Republicans who had for
fefted their rights as members. In
1896, d. w. Shaffer, Democrat, and
H. G. Getzendanner, Republica /,
were opposing candidates for the Sen
ate from the Thirteenth Senatorial
district. When the votes were count
ed it was found that Shaffer had re-
ceived so more votes than Getzen-
danner. Getzendanner gave notice OF
contest, but took no evidence to estab-
lish his claim to the seat, and the GER
tificate of election was given to Shat
fer. When the Legislature met, in
January, 1897, shafrer was sworn in
and took the seat. Then appeared
Getzendanner with petition recit-
ing his allegations and setting up
claim to the seat. The petition was
presented on Saturday, January 16, and
on that day referred to the commit
tee on privileges and elections, with
instructions to report as soon as posi-
BILE. On Wednesday, January 20, four
days later, the committee made two
reports, the Republican majority re-
porting, without any evidence taken,
in favor of BUSTING Shaffer and seating
Getzendanner. the Democratic minor
tty in favor of allowing shafer to hold
