The Contest in Ohio.

The republican leaders in Ohio,
who are managing the election, are
becoming alarmed. The funds at
their command seems to be exhausted,
notwithstanding thousands upon
thousands have been used during the
campaign. The employees of the
Government have een-taxed beyond
endurance. Even petty postmasters,
with salary less than one hundred
dollars per annum, have been assess.
ed for party purposes. They are be.
coming desperate; the chances Of
Fosters election are not as bright as
they were one month ago.
Ohio has been a close State for
years and neither party is justified
in assuming to be much stronger than
its adversary. Bishop, the present
Governor, was elected in 1877 by a
plurality of 1920, but he was really
in minority Of the whole vote BY
11,717. Last year the Republicans
Carried the State by a plurality of
3,154, but were in u minority Of the
whole vote by 40,S60 The Nation.

The Pittsburgh and West vir-
ginia Southern Railroad.

The endorsements into which
this enterprise had fallen some time
since, although it has been entirely
relieved and placed upon astill more
hopeful footing by the REIMBURSEMENT,
seem to have discouraged those who
were giving it attention, aid and en-
couragement, in this State, and the
matter has apparently dropped out
of sight and out of mind with our
people. But not so with the gentle
men who have it in charge at Pitts
burgh. They are not SO easily dis.
couraged. They are men who know
that railroads are not built without
encountering drawbacks and back
sets. They know that railroads, like
mushrooms, do not spring up in a
night. They are men whom, the
Commercial Gdzette of that city says,
"arc well known in that community
for their business shrewdness, and
that they should have become inter-
csted in its extension, is sufficient
intimation to all who know them,
that the venture will pay and that
the investments which they ask in
the stock and securities of the COM
pany will prove more than mere
contribution in a worthy cause"
We have frequently referred to the
building of this road as offering TO
West Virginia exactly what she is
seeking and must have for the de.
velopment of her resources, a central
route uniting, not only the different
sections of the State, but connecting
her, East and West, North and South,
with the great thoroughfares of the
country. We will never be able to
make much progress in developing
the State until such a road is secur-
ed. Now is the opportune time. No
better chance is likely to be present.

show the right kind Of spirit and CO.
operation with these men who now
have it in hand, there is scarcely any
doubt but that the extension would
go steadily forward until completed
through the State.
We commend the following state
ment from the Pittsburgh Gdsctts, as
to the plans and purposes of those
having charge of the affairs Of the
road, to the citizens of our state who
were at one time enlisted in the
work of promoting the enterprise:
