WHEELING, April 90, 1916.
Gentlemen regret 10 inform you that ouI

Town and Fairmont, in Marion county, from gen.
tlemen Of my acquaintance, ! am sorry 10 tell
YOU that Andrew Brown, Wing, is elected in
Mononsala BY &C Jotes-three Democrats run
ming. VIM. s. Raymond, Wing, is elected in
Marion by no voles-two Democrats running
Burdelt Wing, is elected in Taylor; Duncan
Wing. in Harrison; Stephenson, Wing, in Wood
and Richie; Homer, Wing, in Tyler and Whet-
selma orilies not reported, but there is no doubt
in either case, or in regard TO any ofthem.
We entertain here fears for the political cha
racter OF the State in the next Legislature
Whatever may be the result, the Northwest has
tailed in the discharge of her cuty. In addition
TO all this we have certainly lost the Senator IN
hi, District. John Parriott, Wing, is eleelsd
over G. w. Thompson Dem, by majority
which is not yet officially asceraned, but is esll-
mated at 1859 votes.
In great haste, truly yours.

GRAVE CREEK, Marshall Co, Va,
April 26th, 1886.
Gentlemen: This noble Democratic county is
again in The hands OF the Wings by the Wheel
ing influence, and | fear will continue so, until
this system OF double voting is done away with.
Some years ago precinct was established with
in three miles OF Wheeling for their special be-
neft, and they generally poll about sixty Wing
votes from that city, and thus rule this county.
Oldham, W., is elected over Pollock, D., by 81
votes Pollock labored under every disadvantage,
as the health of his family would not admit OF
his canvassipg the county.
The Democrats here feel indignant at the
course Wheeling has pursued towards us. We
think it unfair Tor them 10 select our Delegate,
and in this case they have no excuse, as Pollock
came ont in favor OF the railroad terminating al
that point, and they had promised not TO interfere
in our election in consequence Of il. But they
think more OF Whigsery than Of their local inte-
rests. suspect their course will drive number
10 this county from their support.
For the Senate, Thompson beats Parriot 10
hi, county 36. Parriot is elected This dis
trict gave Clay majority of upwards OF $50
Thompson ha. got a strong vote. His majority
in Brooke, Marshall and Whetsel with Tyler,
exceeds Folks.
Homer, of Wbetsel and Tyler, is elected. lie
is Wing, and in favor of the fright OF way
We had two Democrats in the field in these
counties, and the result is Wing has succeeded
learn that the Wings in Wheeling resorted 10
very improper means 10 defeat Thompson. They
charged him with ncgecting his duty as a lob
by' member, and eectioneering for office whilst
in Richmond and on the morning OF the election
letter appeared the Wheeling Times, purpor,
