MR.. BLAND REPLIES TO MR..
CORNWALL.

Some days ago Hon. John ]. Corn
well in the Hampshire Review under.
took 10 castigate Senator George W.
Bland. editor of the West Union Rec
ord. Mr.. Cornwell. who seems anx.
ious by his Work to make known his
devotion 10 the cause Of wisconsin
and Chiltonism proceeded to make
several accusations against Mr.. Bland.
Specifically they were:
First:-That Mr.. Bland had made a
deal with friends Of Hon. W. p. Hub.
bard by which he was 10 receive the
support Of certain Republicans in the
election last fall. and in return there
for he was to vote for Mr.. Hubbard
for United States a
Second:-That Mr.. Bland was him
self an attorney OF the Standard OIL
company in West Virginia.
Third:-That Mr.. Rland's vigorous
insurgency at Charleston last winter
was simply an effort to extort money
from certain interests.
II may be worth while to note that
Mr.. Cornwell put forth these accusa-
lions simply as rumors and not as
facts Of which he had Information. In
the West Union Record this week
Senator Bland makes a reply which is
vigorous and caustic. He denies en-
p%hatically every i%nsinuation and ru-
NOR so industriou7ly hunted up and
rehuL~ by Mr.. Cornwell. and he
challenges the gentleman from Hamp-
shire TO produce any evidence what
ever Of the accusations. II is easy
for men who seek TO discredit the
motives OF others TO assign some false
cause and to hunt up facts or alleged
facts upon which to base a discredit.
able suspicion. This appears 10 be
about all there is OF could bc in the
Cornwell attack upon Senator Bland.
and under the circumstances Mr..
BANDS emphatic denial and challenge
OF proof should d-spel those insiuua-
tons until there is some sufficient
proof furnished. However. Mr.. Bland
does not stop viii denial. lie makes
a few accusations on his own account
and the gentleman from Hampshire
will do well 70 set up and take notice.
Here is the manner in which the West
Union senator and editor closes his
reply:

the sudden death Of Charley Saun-

Time and again they formed for some
fancy trick play only to have it brok-
en- up by the Y. M. c. A. forwards.
There was nothing doing in the scor-
ing line until the fourth quarter,
when James, the little sub-quarter for
the Y. M. G. A. was sent in and he
soon found a weak spot in the left
wing of the opponents. The ball was
put in play on the 25-yard line. Har-
rison and Jordan carried the ball this
distance for a touchdown, Harrison
making the touchdown. James missed
