REpuBIICAN FRAUD.

The indications from the lower por-
ton of the State are that stupendous
Republican frauds were committed in
the counties of Kanawha, Fayette,
Mcdowell, Mercer and several Others.
In Kanawha the fraudulent vote turn
ed the county, and if allowed to stand
will deprive the Democrats of four
members of the Legislature and va
rious other Offices, to say nothing OF
the effect upon the Democratic Con-
gressional candidate and the lawful re-
suit in the State at large. In Fayette
the returns appear to have been held
back, for some Interior purpose, while
in other counties unlawful votes were
cast to the extent of many hundreds,
and perhaps thousands.
The upper portion of the State has
not been free from this sort OF thing.
There is every indication that many
fraudulent votes were cast in Ohio
county, for the 12,700 votes recorded
would indicate a population of about
Go, 000-something we have not yet
reached. Marshall county also appears
to be tainted. Taking the State over,
it is a moderate estimate to place the
aggregate of Republican fraud at eight
or ten thousand. This sort Of thing
will never be stopped until we turn the
present pretended majority party out
of power.
