THE WEST VIRGINIA RETURNS.
WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. 10.-0hio
county, the home of the democratic
candidate for congress, and hitherto
democratic by about 800, has given a
democratic majority of less than 80.
Reports from interior counties indicate
the probable election OF Golf, republic
can, to congress, from the first district,
by small majority. The second and
fourth districts have been holly con-
tested. There is not much doubt THAI
both of them being carried by the
democrats by msjorities ranging from
900 to 1000 each.
WHEELING, w. Va, Oct 10-The
West Virginia district has elected Golf,
republican, to congress by from 800 to
500 majority. The same counties in
1880 gave Hancock, for president, / ,4S4
of majority republican gain Of
1000. The tariff was one of the prin-
cipal issues. Although both candi-
dates were committed to the protec-
tective policy, the vacillation of the
democratic party on the tariff question
weakened the democratic candidate.
The principal reason of the republican
victory was the popularity of Gen.
Goff, who is man of superior qualifi-
cations for the position. ss
The temperance question entered
lightly into the campaign, but neither
of the candidates were committed to
it. The democratic candidate was cut
by temperance men because of having
taken an active part before the legisla-
ture last winter in defeating the sub
mission of prohibition amendment to
vote of the people.
The democrats have elected their
congressman in the three other dis
tricts in the state by something less
than their usual majority.

COLUMBUS, O. Oct. 13.-Further re.
turns do not materially change the
figures of yesterday. The democratic
