Who s LYING?

The Republican newspapers have
accused the Democrats OF sending
a correspondent after Gasscock to
send out false reports of his meet
ings. With all due respect to our
contemporaries OF the opposition.
we want to state few facts for the
consideration of the public:
Mr.. Glasscock's meetings have
been reported by Editor Green, who
was former manager of the Morgan
town Post, and who in March last
accused Mr.. Glasscock of fraud, :,
double-dealing and bad faith In Sc
curing controlling interest in the
Fost and changing its policy from
Scherr to Swisher, but who now
fawns at the feet of his master. III
Mr. Glasscock was the dishonest
man he was accused of being in
March, when did he become worthy
OF support? Isn't IL likely that
Mr. Green is man who cannot be
believed and that he slandered
Glasscock last March? But IL SO,
why does Glassc6ck impose him on
the public?
The Democratic state committee
did send a man after him to show
him up. Hon. Boyd FARRELL is one
of the most reliable men in the
state. He told the Leader that the
reports Green was sending to the
press were so manifestly untrue thar
he had followed 10 see for himself
And now for a few examples:
A special from Welch to the DIily
Telegraph placed BENEFITS Gro Wd

Welch, w. Va, Oct. 14.-(Spe-
ciaD-Hon. Louis Bennett spoke
here to a crowd estimated az about
500, one third of whom were Repub-
licans. At this point yesterday Hon
VIM. K. Glasscock had fully $500
to hear him.
The Mcdowell Recorder, a Re-
publican paper at Welch, says:
About a thousand people, of
which large number were Repub-
Hcans, assembled at the court house
Wednesday afternoon to hear Hon.
Louis Bennett. the Democratic can
didate for governor.
The Recorder does not estimate
the crowd at the Glasscock meeting,
