go on local issues, but where the
tide is all in one direction IL shows
quite unmistaksbly the general
drift Of thought. Had not the Re.

they would have gained in part of
the towns and the Democrats in
others, according to the amount of
satisfaction or dissatisfaction with
town affairs. But a general victory

The FIRST important skirmish
preceding The great, decisive bat
llein Tie nation, has bsen fought.
Whether j. Is a complete triumph
for either party, or a drawn battle,
il is impossible 10 say at this
hour.
The largest vote ever polled in
the two States, Ohio and West Viz.
gina, was polled yesterday. The
struggle was a hand.io-hand con.
fliCt all alnng the line. At every

bauchers Of morals; and no crime
was deemed too black, provided
only The penitvntiary was missed
aud success promoted. But in
West Virginia the battle was q
manly one, and the victory honest.
lyiearned.
The indications at this writing
are that the Democratic majority
for the State ticket in West Viz
GINA will not fall under 1000 and
may reach 10000. This is an EN-
phatic triumph, when we consider
that Gov Jackson's majority in
1880 was but 300, and Snyder, for
Judge, in 1882, lead the Fusion
candidate only 5000. The majvri.
W Of the last two elections has
been more than doubled and may
be trebled, at this election.
This vote will solidify the solid
South more solldly than ever, and
will give courage to the States of
the Northwest, which are now
trembling in the balance.
Ohio has not been claimed by
the Democrats. 1t has not given
a Democratic majority in a Presi.

Republican party, and it was too
much to expect it to do so this year
