In 1868 Grant had a majority OF
about 5000 in this State. In 1871
West Virginia goes Democratic by 3D.
900. A gentle illustration Of the differ

Ohio county, where the Wheeling In
telhqeacer is printed, and where on
Thursday an ex-editor of the Inteli-
qencsr vainly tried for about the tenth
time to secure an Office at the hands OF
the people, has given a Democratic
majority of three hundred. Judging
from it's uniform success in defeating its
pet candidates, that Intethgenser must
be "a power in the land"
In 1868 there were in the House OF
Delegates ii Democrats and 2 in the
Senate. These were derisively called
by the then dominant party the II
apostles" and so useless did they deem
their effort to oppose the fanaticism OF

suitor's test oath, the teacher test oath
and /: the lawyers test oath, there
were but Hervey and Cole in the House
and Wilson and Apologize in the Senate
