vote some time to looking into the political situa-
tion in West Virginia, and II things look favorable
some hard ticks will be put In for Blaine there.
The republicans have hopes OF carrying the state
upon both local and national issues The national
issues, as they term them, first, Raine's popu-
larity; next his protection principles. The chief
local issue Is the school question. They say that
the state is very much worked up over the action
or the democratic assemblys appropriating the
school fund TO meet some extraordinary expenses
attending the drafting OF the new constitution.
and afterwards ordering reassessment to refund
it, Upon these issues they hope to gain enough
votes TO overcome the democratic majority. A
West Virginia politician, who has consulted with
Mr. Elkins and will take the stump for Blaine in
the state, said to THE STAR man to-day that
upon these issues ne thought 1t would not be Diff
cult to gain the 900 votes necessary to overcome
the democratic majority over the combined strength
OF the greenbackers and republicans The cOmbina-
