Hew Quay Endeavored te Carry That 8tate for Geir and Harrison. Charleston DUpatch te Philadelphia Recerd. n?iii1iV!!toI1en.ut committee has HTJu.1 ure,Prt after ten months of nn remlttlng toil, during which time it has carefully and Impartially Investigated the eharges made by Judge Fleming In his notice of contest, and the result Is a com plete exposure or what leeks like the black eat conspiracy te debauch voters and dofeat the will of the people that waa ever con ceived In any Southern state. Thousands of pages of affidavits are pre sented by Judge Fleming. Allareoonclu Allareeonclu Allareoenclu slvit In their revelations of bribery, Intimi dation and repeating, and against these scarcely an affidavit has been pieced by the accused Republicans. In the light orthese revelations It Is net doubted that General Geff, the richest Republican In West Vir ginia, waa nominated for governor with a ylew te corruption or voters : and It appears from the report that from the date of his nomination plans were boldly laid te pur chase votes and Impert repeaters wherever Sosslble. These plans resulted, the report eclares, In polling no less than 3,000 Illegal votes for the Republican ticket. Only a small proportion or these could possibly be detected. About 800 were cast out by the contest committee, but for every vote disallowed it is estimated that four illegal votea were cast. There were some six countles which the conditions In, the fall of 1888 made geed fields for the operations of the Republican stale commlttee, Bad as the eutrnima In nllmi. im,nlla were they sick Inte Insignificance before the crimes perpetrated In the Kanawha yal!ey. Thirty thousand dollars wss el- iiwica te mis state ny Quay's commlttee, and the best part of this money went Inte the Kanawha valley, and hired Geff re re peatera by the score. The work In Fayette county is a fair sample. Within two months preceding the oleotion nearly SOO negrees were brought from Virginia and given nominal employment lu the mines about Fayottevillc, Before the contest commlttee n number or these negrees testified that they and their companions wanted te go home te irglnlate vote, but the Republican leaders porsusded them te stay. They did stsy and voted by the score for Harrison and protec tion. Their votes were received by Re publican eloctlen Judges In spite of Demo cratic pretests. In Kanawha county methods equally as bold, but of a different character, were used. A corruption fund or 810,000 was placed in the county, ex perienced political tricksters handled itand the Republican majority was Increased The worst frauds, however, did net lle here. They were at the head or the Kana wha valley, in the thinly settled counties or Morcerand McDowell. In the sprlnjr or 1888 the Norfolk A. Wostern railroad was extended Inte these countles. Coke evens were built during the summer, and a large floating imputation brought in and em ployed en theso works and en the railroad extension. Nine-tenths of theso laborers came from Tazoweli and Giles counties, Va., and at the time of the election had net been in the state six months. The evi dence shows that the Republican leaders marshaled the negrees te (he polls, Intimi dated election Judges where onpesltlon was offered, and voled 1,200 of them in two precincts. Mercer county gave a Demo cratic majority of 700 In 1880; In 1888 a Republican majority of 100 waa secured. A change almost as great occurred in Mc Dowell county. The startling boldness of the fraud can best be seen by one circum stance which was preven by scores or wit nesses. A white Republican collected sev-enty-slx of these negrees from the works at Blueflelds, Mercer county, W. Va. They all voted there In the morning. Then they bearded a train, crossed the line Inte Vir ginia, where the negrees, who were bona flde residents, cast their ballets without pretest. Anether train carried the whole gang Inte Elkhorn, McDowell ceuntv, W. Va.. where they marched te the polls crazy with drink, and with brandished clubs anil revolvers placed their Harrison and Geff ballets In the bexes. The circuit court of Mercer county met shortly after the election. Judge Johnsten delivered a ringing charge, and tbe grand Jury, noting under his Instructions, re re ro turned ever 300 Indlctments for illegal voting. Many of theso Indicted have been already tried, but the great majority fied the state, and the places which knew them once knew them no mere. In considering theso frauds the contest coinmittee acted with the greatest conservatism. Only 170 Republican votes were cast out in Mercer and McDowell, and these were the votes of men who were registered in Virginia and at the same time voted In West Virginia. The above are only a few of the facts pre sented in the committee's report. The entire document is a startling expese of fraud and trickery. As a campaign docu ment It will prove the most powerful in strument which the Democrats of West Virginia ever hed put in their hands. Al ready the ttde of public sentiment has been strongly affected by It. "i n . Attempted Suloide Under an Agreement.
