WILSON AND HUTCHINSON.
.,,ll,,y Of uutehlnson,a Election

HIL0OH TIVE
po,.ibiIity OF Hutehinson's Election.
nif the general news Of the country
81. no. stunning enough for the Dem
,.,cy yesterday, it began to be whisper
u ,Iout in the afternoon that Col. Ber
Wilson, like the wicked, was standing in
,.,y slippery places. and might possibly
din uv before be got over the course. Az
me day wore on the news continued to
-, M better for the Colonel, and by
,,,b, fall there was another length added
=, ,bs Democratic faces on the streets.
rb,,i, 10 The faces OF such Democrats as
,.,Ilv desired bis election. Weare bound
nay tha. there we're some faces that did
,o,leugthen perceptibly, and some that
finally seemed to brighten up over the
,.v. Al nine o'clock in the evening the
a,ise people privately;;stste that Wilson
,sde!ested, but the Republicans took the
,reession with considerable reservation,
b.iup suspicious that this might be a ruse
d,be enemy in order to.scoop the boys on
"a, street in the way Of bets. The light
,i,v ealculator5 were at work with their
,.,eii. and memoranda under the gas
r,bt. but inasmuch as no reliable tidings
suld be had from Gilmsr, Calhoun and
T.t,eI, nobody could feel sure Of his fig
ans The INrRLLIoENcER office was flled
,tb Arlhmeticians, all busy comparing
v,.s, adding and subtrac.ing, arguing
nl discussing probabilities in regard
the unbeard from counties.
Al eleven o'clock the accepted
etausion was that the chances between
ElIn and Hutchinson were very nearly
U.u, AMI that one was about IS likely to
s.lected as the other. Just before mid.
dsdt the following special to the INTEL
uNcER arrived from Parkersburg.
PAREERsBuRG, November S.-ll Pm.
sstIll 10 the Irt,llissuser.
The following counties are official:
Wood, 800 for Hutchinson; Richie, $40
lu hutchinson; Doddridge, 1859 for Hutch.
Ia,ou, and Hancock $50. Harrison county
pvs Wilson 64 majority, and Lewis $50.
Etmates oI the following counties are
sAed upon reliable reports: Tyler, $50
M Hutchinson, and Peasants % for
Hutchinson. Writ county. l9e majority
G Wilson; Calhoun, 200 for Wilson; Gil.
ner, $50 for Wilson. Marshall and Wet
Rl are estimated as a stand of against
och other, and Ohio and Brooke are set
!Hu at 2S6 for Wilson. This gives
Hutchinson S3s majority in the district.
The estimates from Writ, Gilmer and
GhOun are literally in Wilson'S favor.
hhbelieved here that be will lack 100 OF
tsnIjorities conceded to him in these
suutes. Hutchinson's majority in the
Este. cannot fall below $50. J.N. Cam.
In, Col. Bill Thompson and D. H. Leon
I'd lad other prominent Democrats here,
saede Hutchinson's election.
It Is the grandest victory of the year,
ID accomplished against great odds. This
sy will procesh, salute, and stand on her
lad tomorrow night The people can
!lrdly be restrained now. Hutchinson
Huelt is calm as q May morning, but
ays that after the 4th of March next his
Itres will be Washington, D. @.
s.
The above,news is glorious indeed, II II
'ay has the gift OF continuance. We
fvehG it reaches US. 1t looks plausible,
bat We feel called on to caution our Re-
publican friends to wait tor its confrma
ton before taking any risks as to the
hsa, The land OF wetzel Is q region o
immense Democratic capacity when thu
ary is hard pushed, and who know
What mysterious maiorities may ye
I'm up down there? The same thing i
sHsoI Gilmsr and Calhoun. Therefore
shths part Of prudence to wait for th'
isu'es, aud not, like the late Democrat
Presidential candidate, go of at 8 hall
seE.
llonks however as II Col. Ben. ma
aWaetually been laid out at last on Tue'
aA II so, the proper obituary motto
'lIppear tomorrow in these columns.
