The Way West Virginia Voted.
The three West Nirginians who voted
Tor Hancock to-day were Me
Eldowney, Harlan and Snyder. The
other seven cast their votes for Judge
Thurman, although everybody seems
convinced that the great old statesman
has hut little chance. After judy,
Thurman drops out portion oi the
West Virginia delegation, led by
Thompson, Of Parkersburg, will ~ over
to Payne. Payne will be stronger by
one hundred votes tomorrow than hs
was to-day, but the movement in his be
hall Is a hollow one, H.
