COMPLICATIONS IN WEST VIRGINIA. The
dual congressional elections have not yet
teen decided The republicans held that
that the 22i Of August was the proper time to
elect Congressman, and elected their candidates
with but slight opposition, while the other
party elected It's men on the fourth Thursday
IN October. The Governor issued his procla- |
nation on the Suhect. which both parties con-
tend is to he construed in their favor The
Legislature, which has democratic majority,
passed an act to remedy the evil, which Was
vetoed hy the Governor. and rerasscd over his
veto Still the question is unsettled, as those
excluded by the act from seats in Congress in
tend to appeal to that body. Another question
has arisen. and that is the appointing power
The constitution Is represented as inconsistent,
where it relates to the creation and filing of
offices no; directly provided Cor therein. inrlud-
ing school officers and managers Of the different
State Institutions IN all a lttlc short of 10000
Offices for the whole State. The Governor
claims the power to appoint these officers under
tn" constitutional provision for vacancies.
while the Legislature claims thar they shall be
sylr:intcd by Board of Public Worksappoint,
ed 10y Itself This, it is thought, will lead to
the appointment of two different sets of officers
in that State. producing much embarrassment
in is Administrations There il also another
clash as to the act of the Legislature creating
Boanl Of Public Works, which is held to be un-
constitutional By the Governor and his friends.
So macy are the political complication Of Vest
Virginia that it may be we'll unprecedented that
they will culminate in the same state of affairs
as exist in Louisiana.
