Many COUNTIES yet to come in, and the contest is
somewhat doubtful Yet we think we have carried
he State The republican party has suffered deeply
by the multiplicity Of eager republican candidates in
some counties, and by local questions in others,
such as the school question, and the right of way
for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company, in
the northwestern section ofvirgilia, where we have
suffered the most. But spite OF all, Old VIII ginia
stands mistaken in her principles.
WHEELING, Ohio county, Va, April &c.
To the Editor Of the Union:
regret to inform you that we have lost this sena-
oral district represented for the last FIVE years by
your friend Newman. This is a WING district. In
1910, it gave Harrison a majority Of 353, and in
1914, Clay majority Of 2S3 Newman carried it
in the fall of l84l and the spring Of 1872 by perse.
verance an personal popularity. We are now de.
feated by a little upwards of hundred. We ran
our stron yest man, Col. George W. Thompson, and
had it not been from some DISCRIMINATION in
our rank in this city, would have succeeded. Ir
this cou nty he received the largest vote ever given
to any democrat, save President Polk. In Brook.
his mr.iority over Polk was %, in Marshall g. and
in w hitze and Tyler about 100. Never were
stron ger exertions made against any man. than were
mad by the wings of this city against Thompson.
They have felt his power before, and dreaded his
tale nts if elected senator.
Every true democrat in the northwest regrets this
result. His effort is and energy in 1910 and 1874
against wing pri ncples in the northwest, have en-
deared him to the democracy, and the wings would
sooner have seen any other man succeed in the
State.
In Marshall county we are also defeated. Mar
shall is purely democratic. Polk received major
ity of 49, and Thompson Sc; yet Pollock is defeat
ed in consequence Of the abominabe system of dou-
bic voting. Until that is erpungsd fear Wheeling
| will always rule that county. They generally send
| from 60 to 10 to vote in that county.
In Whitzel and Tyler we ran two democrats and
| one wing, and the result is a wing is elected. So
you see these two counties, which gave Thompson
a majority of about ITO, are to be misrepresented
| by wing. When will the democrats learn pru.
dence, and run but one candidate in all cases
trust, however, the Old Dominion is still safe.
Yours.
