REPUBLICAN FALSEHO01s.
An Example OF How the People are
Being MfsIed.
Fairmont Index.

AT the recent meeting the Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee at
Parkersburg, Mr. James H. Miller was
designated as chairman of the committee
with power to appoint its secretary and
choose the place for headquarters. In
conformity with the authority, on Mon
day he announced that he had selected
W. E. r. Byrne as secretary and Charles
ton as headquarters. Immediately the
Republican press attempted to show that
there had been bitter rivalry for the place
between Mr.. w. A Ohley and Mr.. Byrne
and that party discord was likely to fol-
low the appointment. The truth about the
matter is that Mr. Miller and the COM
mittee preferred Mr.. Ohley because of his
long connection with the committee and
its work, his thorough acquaintance with
its duties, and because he had already be-
gun Athe work of organization on sys-
tematic plan which will prove very eff
Client, but he was not only not a candi-
date for the place but positively declined
it because of private interests. Mr. Ohley
has been for eight years secretary of
the committee. In addition, he has also
been chairman of the subcommittee
known as the State organization commit
tee, and in that time has done harder and
more efficient service for the party in
this State than any man in it. He re-
tires from the committee with the good
will, confidence and respect of every Dem
ocrat who has been brought in contact
with him.
Mr.. Byrne. the new secretary, is an
able organizer, shrewd politician and
an energetic and loyal party worker. He
was clerk of the last House of Delegates,
is a lawyer of fine ability and good prac-
tice, and will make very efficient sue
cessor to Mr.. Ohley in shaping the work
and carrying out the details of party or
ganization in the coming campaign. The
headquarters of the committee are located
at Charleston, which is a very suitable
and convenient point from which the
committee will direct its work.

square deal; it didn't tell t'-- truth
about the campaign in Brax anty
for the Republican delegates Con-
gressional Convention: and COW
cred up, concealed, distorted I'd pre-
varicated without scruple in the inter-
ests of the crowd it favors until no
man will believe it as to anything. And
this is no new thing. 1t has been COM
mon complaint for years past among
Republicans that they could not obtain
fair treatment from that paper. It's
motto appears to be: I'VE are for our
crowd, and if you don't support us you
will breed discord and won't be good
Republicans. And proceeding along
this line it has fostered and cared for
the interests of a few bosses whose rule
is absolute, and who are constantly re-
ferred to as popular" statesmen"
gallant eminent" etc.
AS for the correspondents of the Reg
lister, referred to by the Intelligencer
as constituencies liars-an epithet, by
the way, which we'll illustrates the
nature of the Intelligencer's breeding
and the order of its taste-it may be
said that our representatives are gentle
men selected for their newspaper and
reportorial qualifications, or for the
facilities for news getting they possess,
and that their only instructions are, TO
get the news while it is news and to tell
the truth. No correspondent has orders
to misrepresent anything, and no one
cought at Justification will be retained
in the service of this paper. The Intel
ligencer cannot truthfully say as much,
for its own columns will show that it
cannot even be fair or just to its own
party.

mapping.

The people generally should prepare
for a surprise.
The news comes from Washington on
the strict q. t., that the administration
is preparing to knock the wind out of
the Democratic National Convention at
Kansas City on the glorious Fourth.
Secretary Gage, of the Treasury De-
partment, is going to do the work. On
the morning of that day he will give to
the country, it is alleged, an official
statement showing the prosperous con-
ditiOn of the people. A main item will
be the demonstration that there has
been a surplus of government receipts
for the fiscal year of S75,000,0 00 the
argument being that the more you tax
property owners and business men and
wage earners the better off they are
The public must be prepared for this
demonstration showing their welfare.
By the way, if the people are pros
porous after paying S75,OOO,O0O more
than the government needs, even in
these times of unprecedented extrava-
gance, how would it do to double the
war taxes and make them pay $3.50, 000,-
900 in excess? Then, according to Re-
publican argument, they would be
twice as prosperous.

FOR PRoHrBIT1oNlsrs TO STUDY.

The Intelligencer does not believe
that any individual or any political
party should have the courage of con-
viction. According to the Republican
organ the man who believes in an idea
or a policy and votes according to his
belief is a very poor sort of citizen.
He is unreasonable, visionary and all
wrong generally. His idea can never
succeed, he wastes his vote, he is
crank, a dreamer of dreams, one reach
ing out after rainbows, and winds UP
with the usual and threadbare supplica-
ton for these men who vote as they
think to come over to the Republican
party and help to swell the total for
high taxes, Imperialism, protection to
trusts and all the rest of the Republic
can programme. The Intelligencer de-
nounced the prohibitiOnist as fanatic.
This will please conscientious prohibit
tionists, and no doubt they will fall
over each other to contribute aid TO the
party of such an organ. The I1rtelli-
gencer also gives it as it's opinion that
the Prohibition party:
Twill add nothing but rustling of skirts
and waving of fans that will greet the
professional orators who sob and weep
over the iniquities of the liquor traffic
al so many dollars per sob.
Are not the men and women who be-
lieve in temperance entitled TO their be-
lief? And the fling that their speakers
get SO much per Sob comes with bad
grace from the organ of political
party which makes a speciality OF i'm
mense slush funds, which collects the
dollar of the postofice janitor and the
half million of the protected manufac
turer alike, and with the proceeds de-
bauches the ballot and corrupts the
franchise.
Let the prohibitionist alone. He has
a right to live and to vote as his con-
science dictates No doubt the early
Abolitionists were fanatics, but in the
course OF time, although they doubt
less wasted" few votes, they brought
about some few changes and reforms.
The Prohibitionist may never succeed,
but he is generally an eminently re-
spectacle citizen, entitled to that des-
ignation in his obituary when he dies,
and while living he ought to be accord
ed the right to vote as his conscience
dictates, for that is Americanism. If
they elect to hold a national conven-
ton and rame a ticket that is their
ody's business how any man votes,
nd efforts to annex the prohibition
vote to the party ruled by Mark Hanna
cism will probably fail.

REPUBLICAN FALSE ASSERTION.

REPUBLICAN FALSE ASSERTION.
This paragraph appeared in the edi-
torial columns of that publication with
out either conscience or principle, the
Wheeling Intelligencer, yesterday morn
ing:
The Registers Terra Alta confused cor
respondent declared yesterday. in con-
nection with its forecast of the Second
district Republican convention, that
Marion county leaders assert openly if
Dayton is nominated he will not be
elected. and declare they will support o.
S. Mckinney rather than Dayton" All
of which makes the Register very ride
ulouS Mr.. Mckinney will not run for
Congress. The Register knows it. The
people of the Second district know it.
Why is it the Register does not edit the
dispatches received from its unconscion-
able lying representatives.
That the Registers Terra Alta COR
respondent told the exact truth is cor
roborated by Republican evidence. No
longer ago than last Saturday night a
very prominent Republican politician of
Fairmont declared publicly, on Market
street of this city, that if the Congress
sional candidates were Messrs. Dayton
and Mckinney that a very large number
of Second district Republicans would
vote for Mckinney. There is rebellion
against Mr. Dayton in the Second dis
trict, Just as there is and has been
against the Dovener regime in the First,
but those who read the Intelligencer
exclusively will be the very last per-
sons to find it out, for the policy of that
paper is to suppress everything in
imicable to certain favored candidates.
and exaggerate their claims and boost
their cause all it knows how. So
steadily has this programme been fol-
lowed that it is no exaggeration to say
that no political statement of the
Wheeling Intelligencer can be believed
without independent investigation. 1t
is notorious for two things--the sup
preston of news and falsification
And this statement is not one made
without support. 1t suppressed the
Clay district steal in this county; it
refused to print the statement of the
oolored Republicans aggrieved; it re-
fused to give Judge John A. Campbell q

Parkersburg Sentinel.
If the Republican campaign in West
Virginia is continued to its close upon the
basis of its beginning sixty dollars will
be every voters share of the corrup-
ton fund. 1t cost more than three thou
sand dollars in hard cash to prevent Freer
from getting the delegates from Wood
county to the State convention. 1t cost
the ring about 81 900 to get their job
through in Kanawha county. At the
Republican Congressional convention at
Point Pleasant thirty dollars was the rul-
ing price for delegates. Such extrava-
gance looks like waste, but the trusts
are bleeding freely this year.

nAD STATE OF ArFA1Rs.

Cuban scandals continue to come to
light. and with the added exposure of
official rascality comes the rather start
ling information that no one in Ha-
vana expects any one to be convicted
and that nollies and dismissals will be
the end OF the proceedings where ar
rests have been made. This is rather
Encouraging, but is probably about
what should have been expected. Some
of the imported American thieves were
very good people, with pulls, while
the Havana end of the jobbery has be-
hind it men Of the best old patrician
families in the eity-folks who would
keenly feel the disgrace of being ar
