WEST VIRGINIA..

WHEELING, November 81 The
vote in West Virginia will not be
materially changed from that in
October. The Republicans make
slight gains in most Of the counties
heard from. The plurality for Han
cock over Garfield will not exceed
I4,0OO, or 1900, while his actual
majority in the State win not be
over 5000 or 5000. if findeed, it will
reach that figure. There is no
doubt about the election of Howe,
Democrat, for Congress in the Sec
ond District, and Kenna, Democrat,
IN the Third District, but the vote in
the First District is so close that It
VIII take the official count TO decide

election of Hutchinson (Rep.) by
100 majority, and n great many

chances fof enc are just about as

majority, Al, ,376. This is total
vote of 225,000. Tilden had $4,000

Grace's vote is 101,Sl1; Dowd's

whole Democratic county ticket is
elected by small majority. The
increase in Hancock's majority in
the city to 41,000 from the $4,000
estimated last night, will reduce the
Republican majority in the State
somewhat. 1t looks now to be some
where between 20,001and 10000 and

Mr.. President, LADIES AND GEN
TLEN;Ey; This spontaneous visit is
much more agreeable than a prepar-
ed one. 1t comes more directly
from the heart Of the people who
participate in it, and I receive it as
the greatest compliment for that
reason. | do not wish to be unduly
impressible or superstitious, but,
though we have outlived the days
of the augurs, think of some events
as omens, end | greet this as hap
py and auspicious omen that the
first general greeting since the event
of yesterday is rendered to me by
a venerable institution of learning.
The thought has been abroad in the
world q good deal, and with reason.
that there Is a divorce between
scholarship and politics. 0berlin,
| believe, has never advocated that
divorce. But there has been a sort
OF cloistered scholarship in the Uni
ted States that has stood aloof from
active participation in public affairs.
| am glad to be greeted here to-day
by the active, live scholarship of
Ohio, and know of no place where
scholarship has touched upon the
nerve center of public life so effect
ually as Oberlin. For this reason |
am specially grateful for this greet
ing from the faculty and students of
the Oberlin College aud its venera-
BILE and venerated President. +
thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
for this visit Whatever the signifi-
canee of yesterdays events may be. (
it will be all the more significant for
being Immediately ind0rsed by the
scholarship and culture of my State. !
i thank you, ladies and gentle
men, and thank your President for
coming with You. You are cardial- !
ly welcome.
At the suggestion of Professor
three hearty cheers were
given for General Garfield, and after 1
the singing OF a patriotic air by a +
fine male chorus, and the rendering
of America" by the entire party, 4
the host said:
i shall be pleased to have You
pass through my house, and let my
roof cover you for few moments"
l'his very neat expression was re-
ceiyed with applause, and the usual |
handshaking was gone through with.
The orchard was visited, the various
objects about the yard duly inspect
ed. and the train resumed for home. /

Ex-wHIsKY-RING JOHN MCDONALD
promises to furnish large lot of cam
paign literature against Grant should
ne be the candidate of the Republican
party. He informed Representative
of the Chicago Times that he has kept
oil the letters he has received for many
years, and that in this. way he has in
his possession very close and clear
history of Grants administration. He
walked into court at st. Louis with
the atmosphere of the Presidents blue
room in his clothing, bu! he need not
have gone further than that alone.
He implies that he went to prison TO

months as a malefactor In order to
save the republic the deepest disgrace
which could befallit.

The late seton Of Senator Wallace

THE CLEMENT ATTACHMENT.

In consequence of inquiries as to the
cost of the Clement attachment, we
have investigated the matter and give
the following which may be relied on.
The seed cotton cleanser costs $50 and
it will cleanse enough cotton for
ten. cards and attachments: The
attachment, with feed table, chute
traverse and stop motion, costs
at the Memphis shop $500, and the
small drawing and cam motion cost
$75. The royalty on each attachment
is at present $3.50. A one-csrd mill
can be driven by seven-horse power
engine, and requires seven operatives,
all women and girls, TO convert $50 to
675 pounds of seed cotton per day into
100 to 1875 pounds OF yarn. 1t is esti-
mated that every attachment will re-
quire 5000 invested in permanent ma
chinery, houses, etc, and $4,000 for
working capital. To convert 1870 bales
into yarn would therefore require an
outlay of $40, 900. To spin the entire
cotton production OF Texas would re-
quire something like $50, 900, 900 OF
capital. Where there is water power,
as at Austin, and buildings not need
ed for other purposes the investment is
reduced. The Westminster Is. c.
Clement Attachment Company, COM
posed Of farmers, cleared last year 40
per cent. on the Investment, though
the mill is run IN great part with
secondhand machinery. Yarns are
now very high.

THE FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The fifth of May was the occasion IN
many places for celebrating the one
hundredth anniversary of Sunday
school foundation, which occurred in
Gloucester, England, inaugurated by.
Robert Raikes under the auspices of
the Foreign Sunday School Associa-
tiop. To-day it is estimated that besides
those of England and America there
are 5000 Sunday schools scattered
through Europe and Asia. AT the
Madison Square Presbyterian Church,
in New York City, there was large
concourse of people celebrating. the day,
aud the sssemblage was addressed by
ReY. Irepeus Prime, d. ID. ; RsY. j. P.
Newman, D. D.; Rev. Rufus w. Clark,
D. D.; Rev. Thomas Armitage, D. d. !;
Rev. Gideon Draper, Rev. John Hall,
d. D.; Rev. Charles S. Robinson, d.
D., aud ReY. r. S. Storrs, d. d. DR..
Prime, the legitimate successor of Rob-
ert Raikes as a religious writer and
an earnest promoter of the Sunday
schools welfare, in introducing his
subject, the "Relation of the
Press to the Sunday School," gave the
outlines of Raikes' life and work. He
called attention to the fact that
Raikes' most potent means of extend
ing and building up his system was the
religious periodical which he edited.
And throughout the history of the
growth of the Sunday school there had
been no more important and influential
factor than the steadfast and hearty
approval of the press. Not only re-
ligious and secular journals, but all
the great newspapers, had constantly
held out their strong, helping
hands. Great was the indebted
edness OF the Sunday school to the
press. The speaker believed that the
Sunday school as it exists to-day is one
of the most important agencies of our
enlightment, civilization and improve
ment. The good effect by the flood of
printed matter which it had scattered
in the world could not be oyerestimAt-
ed. He rebuked the mistaken dis
pensers of "spresd-eagle hymns, un-
spiritual songs, montebank juvenile
literature and the riir.rar of religious
printed matter"

~ New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut, excepting Mr.. Baysrd, and
that any candidate, st sll tinctured
with soft money ideas, would fail to
carry these states. Thurman has been
defeated n his own state upon this is
sue, and he c5uld not carry Ohio nor
any one of tie three Eastern states
named. Gen. Hancock is admitted by
all men TO be az excellent military
chieftain, and he gained much distinc-
ton here, in ciyiI point of view, while
the South was depressed, yet had be not
possessed a wise adviser in the person
of learned constitutional lawyer of
New Orleans, who drafted his cele-
brated letter 70 Governor Pease, he
might have missed the distinction he
thus attained. He would make good
president, but he could not carry the
states necessary for election. The
country seems earnestly in favor of re-
turning to government purely of ci-
villains. There has been so much i'm
proVement IN the one, instituted even
by fraud, and eysa-ed by Republican
influences, and It has been 50 much
more satisfactory than the one under q
West Pointer, that there is now q
stronger disposition than ever among
the people to throw aside military can
didstes in favor of civilians. What
the politicians will do at Cincinnati is
yet to be seen.

HARD MONEY, BAYARD AND
MIR. SCHLEICHER.

Ex-Governor Stockdale, now in Aus
tin, is delegate from the sixth dis
trict to the Cincinnati convention. He
and Col. Dwyer. of San Antonio, the
other delegate, are both earnest Bay
ard men, and Eave been so since the
discussion of the presidential question
began. Like the STATESMAN, Govern
or Stockdale has selected Mr.. Bayard
because of an honest conviction that he
has more of the characteristics to make
a successful race against Republican
ism than any other man in the Demo-
cratic party. The sixth congressional
district is a unit for Mr.. Bayard, and
there Is no reason to suppose he will
not be the choice, too, of Judge Ire
land, who represents the state at large
from the West. There was An issue
two years ago between Democrats in
the sixth district upon the financial
question, and an overwhelming triumph
for hard money was the result. Judge
Ireland was an actor IN this canvass,
and had 1t not been for the great and
just popularity of this distinguished
gentleman in his own section the vote
would have been unit in favor of the
hardest of money, under the leader
ship OF Mr.. Schleicher, whom Tex
IS unfortunately lost too soon.
Had Mr.. Schleicher lived 10 this
day he would have been, ss are all
thoughtful Germans, the vigorous
supporter OF Mr.. Bayard, for Mr..
Schleicher had made himself, dunnga
brief period IN Congress, lasting re-
noTn as q statesman, side by side with
Mr.. BAyard on the financial question;
and when tins distinguished Texan
vas no more, though he had been a
member of the House, Senator Bayard
was fittiDgly appointed, with Others, to
wait upon bis remains to their last rest
ing place beneath the shadows OF the
Alamo. Schleicher, had he lived,
would have been heard st Cincinnati

manic giant, there are 80, 900 GeFmsn

Governor Stockdale and Col. Dwyer
but represent the Democratic sensi-
meDt of Western Texas on the great
financial question, the true principles Of
which are set forth and boldly advo-
Gated by Mr.. Baysrd. Like the STATES
NAN, Governor Stockdale asserts his
belief that the powerful German ele-
ment in Ohio viii carry that state for
the man Of our choice, and he is
satisfied tHat he stands better
chsnce to carry Indiana than any
man besides Hendricks. he agrees
with the SrATEsxAN, too, that
there is no man who is certain 70 car
