a View of the Field


The canvass in ihi. State is virtually ended
For weeks it has been apparent that the effort-
of the Anti American pnrty were vain-and that
the Renegade ticket was doomed. The frantic
exertions still made by its friends are but tho
muscular contortions, the kicks and throes Of n
/ body that dies hard. Tho latter part Of next
| week it viii become quiet enough.
We clip from our exchanges some of the evil
dcnces with which they teen, of the coming re-
| suit.

complete success Of the american party in

tons and host of other dire caamites, said by

still continue to receive, says the Penny Post, the
most encouraging accounts from every section.
Our prospects certainly indicate the election of
the whole State tcket--cght of thirteen Con
gressnen, and majority at least of the Legisa
ture.
The American ticket will sweep the West like
tornado. Says letter from kanawha "The
friends of McComas, in this county making

work goes bravely on. Our Congressman will
