special Ttlegrain to the Register.
Charleston, W. Va. , January 8—The
Republican., will inaugurate their tight
to-morrow in the Smat- They will object
to the seating of Yeater, Dtmierat, from
the Second district. Yeater’s certificate of
eleitou is duly made cut and recorded,
ami he writ lake bis Mat iu "pile of the
piotwt. This and tho Sweeney
cate are the only cnee in
which the Republicans will bring a con
teat, and they are the only contests that
will hi before the Legislature based on
purely technical grounds. Dr. Yeater
was honestly elected by a majority cI the
!«gal voters ol his district. The attempt
11 unseat him is nothing more or lees tbun
an attempt to dial ranch iss these voters, to
deiy them privileges of cit’zen
sh’p. It is claimed that the com
int-eiouers of election at one pre
cinct faded to certify the returns
properly, and at another made an improper
return of the poll hoiks to the C erk of the
Circuit Court. Neither omi*‘*iuu was fatal,
and the only hope of a contest based on
them is the h’iod prejudice of a body of
partisans. The Sweeney cass is
baaed uu h*o substantial grounds, a
clerical error in certify mg the returns
made by the Clerk of Wirt county, gives
Smith 20 votes more than ha was entitled
to. This occurred in only oqe certiiicate
and that t> private one issued to Smith.
Mr. Sweeney’s certificate and the certifi
cates in the'office of the Secretary of State
gave the comet vote and clearly shows
his election. II the Republican Senate
wishes to take np these casts it
I wiil have its hands full with
I disunion and factional strife in their own
ranks. They w: 11 have a lively time in
unseating honestly tlectcd Peruocnit’c

THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
Kull Text of An Important ami lutcrestlng
Document.
Special Til pram to the JitpuUr,
CHABI.K8TON, w. Va., January H.—
Governor Wilson’s message, to lie lead be
fore the Legislature to-morrow, treats only
ot matteis of general interest to the Slate
and foreign to the work of the various de
ptitmenti. The leports from the execu
tive officers have been unavoidably de
layed and do Nftrence has been made to
them. They will be made the subject of
a special mesiage some time daring the
session.
The tue*stg3 is as follows:
Jani aby 9, 1889.
Gentlemen of the Senate anil House of Dele
gates :
lfaring the two years, 1887 and 1*88, it
became neoe*ary, in order to meet the nn
osnally large appropriations made by the
last Legislators, to borrow $143,000, of
which sum $125,000 was borrowed from
banks and $18,900 from the Board of the
School Fund, all of which amounts have
since been paid, and, in addition thereto,
the sum of $67,545 46, on account of claims
filed by sheriffs prior to 1885. There has
aho been paid $7,000 on account ot the
$59,000, which was borrowed from the
Baard of the School Fund during the years
1*85 and 18*6.
It is a very gratify iog fact that for the three
fiscal years ot the present administration,
cuding September 30, 18*8, there remains
but one delinquent sheriff in the State,
and, in that instance, the amount is less
than one thousand dollars, and is in no
danger of loss.
By reason of unavoidable delay
in preparing for tbs printer, tbe
reports from tbe Executive Officers, and
from tbe Boards of tbe various institu
tions, I am unable, at this time, to com
municate concerning tbe same, lint will
do so as soon as possible.
KBAUD AND OOKBl’KTION IN KI.KtTIONS.
We have jmt passed the firrt century of
our political existence. The dangers
which beset the experiment of self-govern
ment have, so far, been averted, and the
g.eat Republic stdl stands as a lustrous ex
ample of the superiority of demccratic
repub.ican institutions, of the happiness
ar.d contentment cf a free people, and of
the grand march of liainan progress, where
the mansclea of despotism and “tbe divim
right of kings" are unknown.
It is no mere American boast that “this
is tbe best government tbe world ever
saw.’’ It stands forth os a towering fact
os we turn tbe pages of recorded time,
whether of ant lent, medhcval or modern
history. It is the paramonnt duty of
patriot.sm, w. ether of the public or pri
vate citizen, to observe, and, with jealous
care, guard nor political organization
sg-unst every form of danger and innova
tion Proud of tbe strength and splendor
of our institutions as weare, snd have jnst
right to be, we should profit noth
ing from the experience of tils
past should we reckon them beyond
the dangers of ambition and corrnption.
Whether armed legions l>e bought with a
price to strike down existing institutions,
or the billot in the bauds of a free people
tie polluted by the bribe-giver and the
bribe-taker, tlie re-ult, in tbe end, musi be
one and the same thing.
The corrupt ion of the ballot must bring
with it a loss cf public confidence; aiid the
loss of that confidence can hut pave and
make straight the way for the destruction
of existing forms.
Upon the ballot rests the entire super
structure of onr political fabric; and ill
corruption is more dangerous than open
revolt, for it undei mines the very founda
tions with insidions debauchery. And ytt
this is a peril to which our whole country
is this day exposed. Under the sham cl
campaign expenses vast snmsofmouty are
raise! and distributed to corrupt the voter
and deteat the public will. In many in
stances men are selected for exalted public
positions whose only qualifications are
enormous wtalth and a ready willingness
to provide money to tempt the indigent and
defile the ballot-box.
1 iiroughont the conntry, frr month* lust
past, the eery atmosphere has been laden
with the cry of frand. Rtpiotch has
!>een cast upon onr own State as
never before by illegal, fraudu
lent and corrupt voting in almost every
county w thin iui borders. Tliis it so pal
pable, that "he who runs may read ”
The capitations of 188| were 133,822, aud
the entire vote, after the most active po
litical campaign ever made iu this State,
137,587. The capitations for 1HH8 were
147,408, and the entire vote 150 440. The
difference in the capitations aud the vets,
in 1884. was 1,06-5; in 1888 it is 12,032
This shows an increase of votes in four
years of 21,853, which, if legitimate,
would indicate a population of 900,000,
and an increase in four years of much more
than 100,000. It is certain that uo snch
increehas taken place.
Tfce purity of onr elections imperatively
demands a revision of the election l«ws
The public sentiment of the State demands
it. These crimes should be made to odious
that no man with the sligtsst claim to
common decency can dare to condone
them.
I recommend that a registration law be
enact el, and that our election laws be
amended so that bribery and fraudulent
voting may be prevented and the pm ity of
the ballot-box preserved
That the certainty and eevetity of the
penalty may bs measured by the enormity
of the crime, 1 recommend that false reg
istering, or voting, or procuring, or adv;s
ing the same to be done, or bribing
oi attempting to bribe, or giving or offer
ing to give money or other things of value
for the purpose, express or implied, to in
ti nence any person not to vote, or any shitt
,,r devices’ to evade snch provisions, and
every other violation of the registration or
election laws, the effort of which may be
to destroy, or change the true result ol an
election, he made felonious crimes That
any perron, whether implicated or not, in
committing any of snch ofLnses, shall lie
compelled to 'testify against anv person
concerning snch offense*, hut snch witness
to he exempted trom punishment for the
violation of the law of which he may have
t>een guilty, and, concerning winch,
may be compelled to testify. That no
statute of limitations shall bar a piosect
tion, and that it shall be the dnty of the
Circuit Conrta, at every term thereof, to
give the act in eprcial charge to the grand
jnrv.
Of course, the recommendaton in rela
tion to a registration law, is necessarily
limited within the following Constitution
al provisions;
"No citizen shall ever be denied, or re
fused the right or privilege of voting st an
electioo, because bis name is not, or has
not been registered or listed as a qnal'tied
vutor”—Sec. 12, Art. 6, Constitution.
•‘The Legislature shall never authorize
or establish anv board or conrt of registra
tion of voter*. ’-Sec. 12, Ait 6, Constitu
tion. . , . . . ,
Both of these provisions were intn led
for the security of the elective franchise, j
and should be construed with reference to i
to the evils they were designed to coriect.
Under onr former registration law. every
-<craon claiming a right to vote was com
pelled to apnly >o the township, or ward
registtar for registration, and. if injected,
he had no remedy for the Tindicmon of
his right* but an appeal to the Board ot
Registration And it was provided tba»:
• The Board of R-g strationof each coun
ty ..hall b*Te the i-ole i eradication to try
and determine the right of any person to
vote therein, under the Cor.i*itntion and
laws of this State, whose right to vote ia
t
qnes'ioned; and their decision, in all cases
shall final, except in cast* of contest'd
elec lions before either home ot the legisla
ture.”
No persons were permitted to vole ex
cepting those who were registered.
Said Sec. 12 dees not prohibit a reistra
tion ot voter*; bnt only provide* that the
privilege of voting shall not depend opin
registration.
Haiti Set- 13 does not prohibit a tegistra
tion; Sot simply declares that no board
nor court of registration shall he created.
It seems to me that the words “hoard”
and * ‘court, " in this action, are used as
synonymous terms, and interpreted, with
reference to the former laws of this State,
were intended only to include registration
tribunals having jariedictiou to try and
determine the neht of voting. However
thia may he, it is a beard, or roort of reg
istration onlp, that is prohibited. A sin
gle registrar for a county, or oae for each
magisterial district, would not constitute
a board, nor coaid sttch constitute a court
unle* judicial functions to conferred.
A law might be passed for the registra
tion 11 voters, nod the registration made
prima facie evidence of the right to vote;
and persons, not registered, dieting to
vote, required to prove their qualifications
belor the commifstouers el election, who
shop I record them as unregistered voters.
Each vote*’* ballot should be numbered to
correspond with the poll-book, or some
othet certain mode adopted to identify the
ballot in case of contest.

I repeat w hat I said upon this subject in
a former message:
“Rr.bery at elections, by onr laws, ia a
pun.-liable crime; yet it ia no violation of
the Inw to use the very means to secure
nominal ions for public office, that would
constitoo bribery at an election. Political
party organizations, thengh not in law,
are, in fact, a part or our governmental
system. They determine in the main,
by their nominations upon whom
political tracts shall be conferred;
aad, theiefore, it become* a* essential
to prevent the use of undue means, fraud
and corruption, in securing nominations,
as in elections for public office. The u«e
of money to secure individual support aud
advocacy, and the delivery ot railroad
paasth to delegates to political conventions,
favoring the nomination to pnblic office of
such candidates as railroad cllicials may
desitt n&miiii'ted. are the common methods
now practiced. The u-e of railroad passes
lor 8Bch purpose, in this Slate, has be
come «o open and notations as to lie thrust
np<n tbs attention of every observing
man. Nothing but the aroused indignation
and determination of the people can sue
cesafudy encounter theee means. The ab
sence of laws to condemn and punish each
coadnet, is but a proclamation to tbe p*o
pie aad a warning to every citizen who
aspire* to public position, that subser
viency fo the demands of weilth aad rail
road corporations, is the first inde ptnsa
ble requisite to political success The
m&nifoet purpose of such methods is to
control by corruption; ernsh intellectual
and moral worth; deter public ntteiance
for tbe puhlic good; etillo public senti
ment end thwart the pnblic will.”
Thee practice* result in defiance and
defeat of the public will, but little less,
in elep.-ee, than bribery and corruptions,

claiecPfelouions crimes.
,RAILROAD DISCRIMINATIONS.
At »oth the last tegular nnd extra ses
sion* 4t tbe Legislators, I < tiled attention
11 If. thject ol railroad diccrimiuatiou in
unghl'and passenger charges, endeavored
to present some of tbe groat wrongs inflict
ed upon our people, and recommended
such legislation as wonld correct tbe evil
aud protect tbe interests of this State.
The injustice, the injury, the withering
effect upon onr industries aie so npparent
aud well known, by every thoughtful
man, that it is unnecessary to repeat
them A large majority of tbe Slate* of
the I’uiou have regulated these subject*
by statutory laws, and the authority to do
so has passed beyond the domain tf legal
con ten'ton.
The Inlcr-State Commerce law has been
in effect a Vint two years, aud, experience
has thoroughly demonstrated the wisdom
of tbe Act, and rendered it comparatively
cettain that it will never be repealed, or
changed, except to prevent evasion aud
violation ol its remedial provisions.
Our shipi>ers have re ived great benefits
under the operation ot this law; but in or
der that they may be secured in the ful'
advantage* to In obtained, it is essential
that a commission should be created, un
der authority ol the State, whose dnty it
should b», amongst others, to ascertain
whetlur mud law i* hnrg violated, rgiinst
the inter, sts of any of the people of Ibis
State, and if so, to file and prosecute com
plaint beloie tbe Intei-State Commerce
Commission, for the correction of tbe
abase.
The Legislature havirg fall control of
commerce within the State, to that de
partment, alone, can we tnrn for State
regulation.
Sixteen years ago, the people made the
following fundamental declaration:
“Railroad* heretofore constructed, or
that may hereafter be iinstructed iu this
State, are hereby declared public h'ghwsy*
and shall be free to all persons for the
transput tat iou of their pet sons and prop
erty thereon, under such regnla’ions us
may be prescribed by law; and the Legis
lature shall, from time to time, pass laws,
applicable to all railroad corporations in
the State, establishing reisouablc maxi
mum rates of charges for the transporta
lion of passengers and freights, nnd pro
viding for the correction of abates, the
prevention of nujust discriminations be
tween through and local or way freight*
and passenger ttrift'*, ttnd for tue protec
tion of tbe just rights of the public, ami
shell enforce such laws by a1*i|uate pen
alties.”—Sec. It, Article XI, Constitution.
No law has ever yet be .n paste I to meat
the requirements of this Constitutional
command, and afford the protection that
the combined wisdom of the Stats deemed
essential. Ho long as this question
remains open, every effort made
for its just and fair set
tlement, is heralded abroad as indicating a
hostile attitude towsrds railroad ent r
priac We nndetstand, thoronghly, the
necessity of railroads for the development
of onr natural resources; but we understand
alse, that unless reasonable freight charges
heiecurtd for all shippers, the inducement
for the agricultural immigrant, and for
tbe various enterprises which ttaesa re
sources invite, must ht-hampered and lim
ited.
I renew the recommendation that such
legislation upon this subject he ena-ted
‘ a* will secure even-handed jastice to both
tbe railroads and the people. I especially
recoinnc-nd that, both as to passengers and
property, a greater charge for a shorter
than a longer distance, and every species
of dis:riu»mation against, or ia flavor of,
individuals or localities, and every means
by which it may be acomplished, be ab
solutely prohibited. That a cumtntssion
be created wi'h such antbonty as mav be
iwcweary far the application and execo
t on ot the law, and to obtain soch relief
as may b-* had from Federal law, and that
adequate penalties be provided to secure
reepset and obedience.”
GIVING RAILROAD CASSES TO PTBf.IC
OKHCKRH.
I'pon the mhject o( giving railroad
pa»t* to public officers, I repeat tbe Un
gnage ol a tinnier mewMgf;
“Tbe practice of rsilrnad ccnipsnue

There is no bran-h of the government but,

ijneetioDfl between railroad companies and
the people ari«e. it can not be a matter of
surprise that a feeling of distrust pervades
the public mind, when the public (servant,
whether Legislative, Jodiciary or Execu
tive, holds the laws of hie country in one
hand and a railroad paes in the other.
“I most heartily recommend the enact
ment of law to prohibit the delivery of
such passes to aDy and every officer withi n
this 8tate; and that the penalties be suffi

TUI STS, COMBINATIONS ANDOONSPIRACIK*
TO OPPRESS THE PROPER AND RNRK H
THK KKW.
Oar ancestors brought with them the
common law of England, and rejoiced in
its wiee sod humane provisions for the prc
Wclion of the toiling and i-oasnming masses
agaiuet the beertless and avaricious cupid
ity of the monopolistic vultures of society.
The remedies were ample to mtet the ne
cessities of a more primitive and simple
condition of business and commercial refla
tion*.
Under the common law, the open and
fixed market place was encouraged, and
“the life of trade”—open competition—
secured both for seller and purchaser.
Forestalling was defined to he the “buy
ing or contracting for any merchandise or
victual in the way tomarkfct;ordiseuading
perrons from bringing their goods or pro
visions th^re; or pe: sanding them to eu
bancs the price when there.”
Itegriting: “The buying of corn or other
dead victuals iu any market, at.d selling it
again in the tame market.”
Eogioesirg: 4 The gettirg into one’s pos
session, or baying up large quantities of
corn or other dead virtnai*. with intent to
fell them again.”
And fo, “the total engroMtiiiig of any
other commodity, with intent to sell it at
an unreasonable price ”
One of onr criminal law-writers has said:
‘'Engrossing with ns mast doubtless he
deemed of kin fo forestalling, as it was in
the English common law. And whenever
a man, to pat things, as it were, oat ol
joint, and obtain an undue profit, pur
chase large quantitive of an article of mer
chandise, holding it, not for a fair rise,
lmt to compel buyers to pay what he
knows to he moch more than can be regu
larly eu-tamed in the market, he may, 011
principle, be deemed, with us, to lie
guilty of the common law offense of eu*
grassing.”
All these elf-mses, together with
conspiracy to commit them, were, at
common law, indictable; but they float ont
before the vision as mere baubles when we
come, now, to d>al with the stnpendoae
crimes sgaiu-t the public
The legitimate channels of wealth move
with tardv and reluctant flow for the mod
ern monopolistic money-getter. With
fevered brain and cdlomheart, t le criei of
a Lazarus weald tali npon unwilling cars.
The rascalities of speculation have been
rtdnced to a science, aud the millionaire
gamblers in the necessaries and comforts of
life are reveling in the possession of their
ill-gotten gaius. Great mannfoctaring
corporations, abusing their franchises and
abdicating the pnrpoiei for which they
were created, enter into combinations, sur
render the control of their respective estab
lishments into the bands 01 a enmmou set
of trustees, with the open, avowed and
stipulated pnrpaee to deetroy competition,
limit toe product of the continu'd estab
lishments,and thereby increase the demand
an<l enhance the price of the manufactured
article.
By speculative roanipnlatioos the price
of farm products isadvarmed, hut it is after
the farmer has parted with po-scs-uon
The supply of nminfactnrcd artioi's is

As there m no provision of the Consti
tution of the United States conferring np
on Congress jurisdiction over these sub
jects, excepting the clanse concerning the
regulation ofconmen e among the several
Slates, ample relist'cannot he had without
State legislation.
1 retommeud that every trust, combina
tio r or conspiracy entt red into by individ
uals, natural or corporate, for the purpose
of destroying or limiting competition in
the production, or of advancing the price
of any of the commercial necessaries or
comforts of life, be declared nulawfnl; and
tliat every parson violating any of the pro
visions of the law, or ciUDs-llliigor direct
ing the same to be done, or acting at an
officer, agent or attorney of any corpora
tion in the violation thereof, be deemed
guilty of a lelony; and in case of a corpo
ration, that its frunch’sss ehall be foi
feited to the State, and prcccadingsat once
bs taken for that purpose.
IMMIGRATION.
It is especially desirable that some
effective plan he rvdop'-'d to encourage ini
migration into the State. Its resources
are so extensive and varied as to mtet the
wanti of every c'oss. Oar immense
stretches of timber lands, and
wondtrfal coal and other mineral
deposits, have alrtady attracted the at
tention of capital, both yt home and
abroad.
We want especially the agriculturist.
He will find here cheap, productive lands,
an equable climate and a favorable geo
grapoical position.
Fully a third of the State is level and
slightly rolling, and iqual in productive
ness to any of the United Stitts, while
there is hardly a portion bat will yield
abundantly to the hand of industry. The
thrift and prosperity of onr Swiss and
German settlements lmt indica'e how cer
tainly our mountain lands here will re
spond to the touch of intelligent industry.
Our present law npon this subject has
remained a dead letter in the absence of
appropiiations to carry it in'o effect.
1 recommend the euactment of snch a
law, and the appropriation of snch snm
as. in yonr wisdom, will best accomplish
the end in view.
May the wisdom of yonr work assure
the promotion of the general welfare.

Otgoodby, the author of the fauna* Mur

yesterday, says be did not, nntil a few
days Indore the correspondence was made
public, have a conception of its importance
in a politictl eeuse.
When he did, the thought of the far
reaching effects and possible conse<|Uences
to himself, personally, rather alarmed
him.
Finally, alter a conference with a few
confidential friends in Itnmona, including
bis two attorneys, P. C. Toner and W. If.
Bell, it was determined tomskefhe letters
pnblic, and on the 19th of October the Ut

member of the Republican State Central
Executive Committee; Menrv T. Gage, del

Thrse three men decided to publish the
letters without referring them to any com

on the 21st of October, in the co'umus of

way to New York.
For some days alter the letter war made
public, Osgood by was so frightened that
be was brought to Los Angeles and kept
concealed. He claims that, having him
self conceived the idea, he wrote the letter
at home one evening in the presence of bis
wife. Next day he took it to I’onion a and
showed it to T. G Hatey, whose
name has been prominent in con

it to 1’. C Turner. Turner copied it and
signed it “Charles F Marchison,’’ which
is Oagtodhy’s mothers maiden name, and
then rent it to Minister Went. Then the

to write decoy letters to Fisk, to Tapper,
to Brooks and to others, West's Utter was
the only reply that anmnnt-d to anything,
