The Republican newspapers are all
confident that the elections in Ohio,
Indiana and West Virginia will have
no effect whatever on the Presiden.
tial contest. The Democratic papers,
we may observe, take almost an OPP
site view.

II definitely settled that Williams
majority in Indiana will be over o.

be heard from, and they are in the
habit of giving Democratic MAORI

The majority for Barnes in Ohio
will be less than G,000, This would
seem to indicate that Mr., Hayes is
worth ono thousand more votes rs

West Virginia increases her Dem

The negroes inundated every
colorod man in town, except two, in
to voting the Radical ticket, by
threatening to beat them to death,
hang them, drown them, &C., if they
voted the Democratic ticket. One
colorod man was driven from the
polls by them because it was known
he would vote the Democratic ticket,
and he did not get to vote until late
in the evening, and for that vote his
house was stoned the next night,
and the lives of some members Of his
family put in imminent danger
Every window in his house was
smashed in, and five or six heavy
rocks were foundin the house. Some
of the parties, we understand, to this
outrage are known, and steps are to
be taken to bring them to punish
mcnt. A few years in the Pcnitcn-
tiary would have a beneficial effect
upon such characters.

We congratulate the Democracy
upon the noble fight they made on
October 10th. We have elected our
entire county ticket, with the excep-
ton of John L. Sebrell for House of
Delegates. We regret his defeat,
which is alone chargeable to the Demo
Gratis who either voted for Beard or
scratched Mr.. Sebrell. We do not see
what Democrats expect to gain by vot-
ing for Beardand defeating their Dem
ocratic nominee. Mr., Sebrell is
worthy man and ought to have re-
ccivcd the full Democratic vote. The
same may be saidof Governor, which
by want of proper interest in Demo
cratic success, permitted this county
to go for Golf by 40 majority. Had
Democrats not voted for Golf, the
Third District would have been
"solid' against him.
