THE ELECTION RETURNS.

Democrats have learned to be distrust'
full of early election returns. In Yer
mont, the Republican State Central
Committee issued circular in advance
of the election announcing positively a
majority of 10000. BLAINE announced
on the night of the election In Maine,
without having heard from single
county, that the Republicans had carried
the state by majority Of $1,000. In
Colorado. the Chairman of the Republi-
can State Executive Committee le-
graphed, at three o'clock ir the a er-
noon of the day of election, that the s. tie
had gone Republican by 1000 majority;
and subsequent bogus returns and false
estimates claimed 5000 majority.
In each of these cases, the telegraph
has felt bound to declare that the Repub-
lican promises had been fulfilled. ct no
Republicans promise, either in the plat
forms of the party or in its pubic pledges,
has been fulfilled. Why then believe
these promises about elections? Why Is
it that the telegraph turns out to be no.
thing but an organ and an echo fthe
Republican party.
Vermont gave $4,000 Republican ma
iority, but the telegraph never found 1t
out. Name gave 1000 majority, but
the telegraph never corrected Its lie.
Colorado is in doubt, but no one would
suspect it by the utterances of the teIe-
graphic organ of the Republican party.
These illustrations will suffice to satisfy
any one that the elections in both ONO
and Indiana will turn out to be more
satisfactory to the Democrats than the
telegraphic returns now indicate.
Enough is known of the result in both
the above states to show that both par
ties have made gains: one party making
gains in one locality, and the other party
in another locality. The telegraph has
in all cases heretofore transmitted the
Republican gains first, leaving the DEM
ocrstic gains to follow at their leisure.
Taught by experience, our Democracy
will not be disheartened by any manipu-
lstion of the returns in favor of their op-
ponents. The results will unquestiona'
bly be better for them than appears in
these first announcements. Actual and
complete returns will prove more and
more favorable to us.

THE STATE.

We have special from Huntington
giving the Third district to the Demo
Gratis by 5000 This is in accord with
the news brought US by our specials from
several OF the counties of the district.
The way the msjorities are running in
the counties heard from, that majority in
the district cannot be less than 5000.
From the Second district our specials
show at least 1000 Democratic majority
there, while the majority in the First can
not 60 under 1000 The state is ours,
therefore, by any place from 10000 to
$4,000.
This is a victery indeed. ZACH. CHAN
DEER and the Radical politicians, includ-
ing GRANT and GRANTS West Virginia
henchman, GoFF, claimed the state for
an endorsement of their plundering
and their schemes. They boasted OF
it, and poured out money
to accomplish it: The Radical party
had the prestige of past success in this
state; they had the advantage of be-
lief in success this year; they had money
almost without limit from the Federal
treasury; they had the active co-opera-
ton of the Administration, and of their
national committees; and they had to
lead them candidate of infinite
assurance and defiant manner.
But with all these advantages they
went down ingloriously, and are buried
beneath mountain of q majority.
West Virginia Democracy sends
greeting to their brethren in the other
states, and pledges majority of $1,000
for TILDEN, HENDRICKS and Reform.

made against the gallant MATHEWS, the
vigorous and unscrupulous shaking of
the bloody banner of hate and proscrlp-
tod, the expenditure of large sums OF
money in this county, the Democracy
carried their standard-bearer through
trlumphantly. The people of the manu-
featuring city OF Wheeling have placed
their seal OF condemnation upon the
efforts of unscrupulous demagogues who
sought to stir up sectional bitterness and
to fan into flame the smouldering en-
bers engendered by an unfortunate war,
which, among patriots, was long since
ended. The lesson is a valuable one, and
it is hoped will be appreciated by the
small men who are the recipients of the
reprool.
Altogether, Ohio county covered her.
self with glory, The sturdy Democrats
of the various wards and districts fought
valiently for peace, prosperity and
united country; for harmony; for purity
in government, for decentralization and
Home Rule.
The Democrats of Union, Clay, Cen
ter, Webster, and especially Richie in
the city, and of Triadelphia, in the coun-
ty, deserve praise. In fact the Demo-
Gratis of every ward and every~block in
the city, and every neighhorhood in the
country deserve thanks and praise for
the magnificent work performed by
them.

THE RESULT OHIO COUNTY.

The official count of the vote cast IN
Ohio county on Tuesday, has not yet
been completed, owing to the immense
vote cast and the great length OF the
ticket. The experience At this election
shows one of two things, viz; There
should be such change in the election
law as to permit two ballot boxes and
two sets of election officers IN some Of
our most populous districts; or more
expert and vigorous set of officers should
be selected TO perform the duties re-
ouired of them. This thing of having to
wait from two to three days to know
how your own ward has gone, is rather
hard on the nerves.
However, we started out to talk o
the result in this county, as we now un
derstsnd 1t.
The Democrats for the first time IN
ten years, have elected their Sheriff in
this county; and tney have elected him
By the handsome majority OF over 6oo.
This a result to be proud OF, and does
create infinite rejoicing. The best OF the
thing is, the man with whom we have
triumphed in the sheriffalty contest, is
eminently worthy as citizen and as
Democrat. He is eminently competent,
and the choice reflects great credit upon
the voters of the county who selected
him.
We have elected our Legislative
ticket by, probably, nearly 600 majority;
and We gain particularly trustworthy,
intelligent and efficient quartet of law
givers. The people of the county have
shown by the vote given these gentle
men, the confidence they place In them;
and that confidence will by fully justi.
fed by their behavior.
Notwithstanding the desperate efforts

RICHIE DISTRICT.

The Democrats Of Richie have cover
ed themselves with glory. They give a
majority for the main part OF our ticket,
and retire from the Board of Commits
sioners the most mischievous
member of that body, the somewhat
noted BILL SCHULTZ. The majority tor
his opponent, MICHALL RoTT, is not
large, only four but it is sufficient tor
the purpose. In this case Tour is rs
good as four hundred would be. The
whole county is indebted to the sterling
Democrats of Richie for this days work.
