newspaper, could not prove by a

Quoted in the disreputaI6le manner

OF letting existing laws alone and

Cornwe!l Called On.

The West Union Record takes
John j. Cornwell to task for his
eyaslveness and imputes to him an
insincerity in what he says in his
Hampshire Review. Mr.. cornwel's
action at Charleston is quite dis
pleasing TO large number OF DEM
ocrats, but 1t should not have been
disappointing, as the fact became
well known. when Cornwell ran for
governor, that he was the repre-
sentative Of the special interests. In
that campaign he opposed tho move
ment to reform the tax laws in the
interest OF the people. The Repub-
lican press indicted him as railroad
and other corporation representa-
tive. With but one or two excep-
lions, the corporations were unit
for him and the vote showed it,
especially in Marion county domi-
mated by the Watson interests. Why
would he not be for Watson? Corn

Guilt is Confessed.

The insistence OF several Demo-
cratic newspapers Tor an investiga-
tion OF the bribery charges at
Charleston is calling forth some
rather sarcastic and pointed re-
marks from Republican newspa-
pers. The Philtppl Republican, for
example, says it sounds bad to have
a Democratic newspaper charge that
members of its own party sold their
votes, especially so when the same
newspaper last fall advocated the
election of the senators and dele
gates whom it now accuses Of cor
ruptton.
Indeed, it is about as bad as it
possibly could be TO have the Demo
cratic press charging criminal Of
lenses against Democratic legisla-
tor. If there were some possible
excuse upon which to base a refu-
tation of these ugly accusations the
Democratic newspapers would have
taken advantage OF 1t long before
this time; but there appears to be
not even an excuse.
AS it is, the Democrats have prac-
tically' declared themselves to the
world as being guilty of the charges
that have been made against them.
They have made no denials, offered
no defense nor taken any steps
whatever TO let the people know
whether the charges are false or.
true. 1t is a silence that means
confession. Even though an inyes-
tigatiep should pestaken up new5 1t.

sessionafor the making ofia proper

Governor Glasscock ought. to call
the legislature in special session for
the purpose OF investigating the
charges that have brought disgrace
upon the state. The circumstances
would justify special session even
If it were called for the sole pur-
pose OF sitting these serious charges
to the bottom. If any legislator has
debauched his office and shamed the
people of the state by selling his
vote 10 the highest bidder he ought
to be punished for 1T % the full ex-
tent OF the law.

Yes, and upon u well recognized

Case Of Deceit.

Once in a while the public fil.ds
that deceptive Democratic news
paper publishes few lines. only a
very few, about the Republican
state senator's holding out for their
rights. OF course, the deceptive
Democratic newspaper does not put
1t that way. The reason the de-
ceptLve Democratic newspaper does
not declare itself openly and above
board and keep at it daily on this
subject is simply that it knows that
a majority of its own party, espe-
cially its leaders, Watson and Chill
ton, knew that the Republican sem
ators were on the side OF right. and
the two leaders knew that they had

it attempted to get itself together.

More than this, they stood for an or
ganization OF the Senate that would
protect the people OF West Virginia
against desperate partisan legisla-

domination of the Democratic party
in this state. They made a brave
and honorable and dignifed fight for
their rights and for the rights of
their constituents. They won a
splendid victory. The Republican

Correctly chasing Democratic leg
islators who became subservient to
the Watson4chilton combine, the
West Union Record undertakes to
console itse'f with the Inconsistency
of those solons, but at the same
time it plainly leaves the inference
that 1T derives but little peace or
comfort in the thought that there is
an atonement intended or even at
tempted. The Record says:
Democrats who in the legislature
voted for watson for United

lous spectacle in pass ng ! az resolu-
tion in favor of the election Of

state in popular election. Their
action goes to show that they have
already repudiated their own action
and are trying to atone for it. That
there was no popular sentiment for
