case, what are we to infer. That
if there is a large crowd of people

will hold to arrangements, but if
there is a few those few are to be

large number throughout the

iGreeory filed a lengthy petition

he asked the committee for an in
Testigation of the frauds, but the
gang were too powerful and hush

the party. The committee would
not even listen to the evidence as
Produced or entertain a protest,
although the Republicans OF Tyler
We're then and are now clamOring
for an investigation. 1t is known
by everyone that had it not been
for the frauds and illegal votes
cast Gregory would have receiv-
ed several hundred majority in
the county and been permitted to
select his own delegates to the
convention.
However. he is determined to
fight the matter in the courts as
well as in the convention, and will
take to Moundsville tomorrow a
contesting delegation and 60 be-
fore the Republican convention
with his evidence.
What will be done cannot now
be conjectured, but it is due him
that the fraud should be exposed
and the guilty ones punished.

On yesterday at Parkersburg
Judge Lewis n. Travener granted
to Robt. L. Gregory an injunction
prohibiting T. P. Hill from pre-
senting or using a certain certifi-
cate given him by the Republican
Executive committee as well as
from selecting delegates to the
Senatorial convention to be held
on June 10 at Moundsville. The
bill also provided that S. G. Pyle,
George E. Work and others shall
not act as delegates for the said
Hill under said certificate, thus
tieing up the Senatorial fight so
far as Tyler is concerned. Gross
frauds and irregularities are set
out; some of the charges being
that Hill in violation Of his agree
ment purchased numerous votes
with money and whiskey on elec-
tion day; and that he and his
friends purchased and bribed sew
eral election commissioners and
clerks to defraud the plaintiff.
1t is a well-known fact among
the people of Tyler that the So
called Republican primary held
on May 25 was a farce so far as
honesty was concerned. Frauds
were committed all over the cOun-
ty, and at the J. T. Jones hose

Quite little trouble has been
experienced on the trolley line
between this city and Sistersville
for some time, and it does seem
reasonable that an adjustment
could be made in some way. There
being no published schedule of
the running of the cars the travel
ing public are at the mercy Of the
railway conductors and motormen
and individuals that have no idea
of what is desired by the COM
pany and causes Inconvenience
that will undoubtedly injure the
patronage of the road.
For some time past parties
who have been misinformed as to
the time of the last car passing
a certain point have missed that
car. On each of these occasions
they were required to pay So to
get to their home. In nearly ev-
cry case it has been caused by
some busy-body employe of the
road, and when complaint is made
the conductors and motOrmen
abuse the patrons by hurting all
kinds of epithets, irrespective of
whether or not in the presence of
ladies. Now we do not mean to
state that all the employees are of
this type, but there are several
that would be better suited to help
level up the road than to have
charge of a car. Last evening a
number of persons went to Sis
tersville to take in the carnival.
Upon arriving there they were
told by a conductor that the last
car to leave Sistersville for New
Martinsville would be II o'clock
during the week of the carnival.
Of course, lots of people stayed
for the II o'clock car.
