The Victory in Ohio County.

When Hon. A. p. German, who is
an entirely Napolconic man, came in
contact with Hon. Joseph S. Miller at
the July conference at Parkersburg,
he at once placed him at the head of
the organizations in Wheeling. The
result has indicated Mr.. Gorman's
intuition. Notwithstanding the bitter
opposition of both the Register and
I@telligencer, the State ticket was
carried by majority of over 300,
and the whole legislative ticket was
taken through by 900 majority. All
hail. gallant Ohio.

In addition to the thorough Dem
ocratic organization in our county in
the recent campaign, our territory,
we may safely say, was never more
generally and efficiently canvassed by
our home people upon the stump
Hon. D. B. Lucas, Elector at Large,
spoke at nearly every prominent point
in the county, and the people were
ably addressed at various points by
Forrest w. Brown, Esq, Capt. Geo.
Baylor, Col. R. P. Chew, Joseph
Trapnell, Esq, Geo. NJ. Beltzhoovcr,
Esq, and perhaps others, all working
earnestly for the success of the en-
tire ticket.

Col. L. Victor Baughman. of
Frederick, Md, spent some days of
the recent State campaign in our
midst, and gained a warm place in the
hearts of our people, many of whom
already knew and warmly admired
him. He delivered a number of stir
ring speeches at various points in the
county, and cvinccd much interest in
our fight. Democrats of cid Jcffcr-
son will give him cordial welcome
at any time.

The Democrats carry all the Con-
gressionaI districts in this State by
handsome majoritics-first district,
696; second, 90; third, 2,4G7;
fourth, 1,225-and this ensures the
election of solid Congressional dele
cation in November. Good for West
Nirginia!

to the election, by Joseph Trapnell,
Esq, Capt. George Baylor and Coils.

Take the fact into consideration
that the Democratic State ticket runs
ahead of Wilson in nearly every
county, and it will be seen that the
real Democratic majority in west vir-
ginia is much more than that repre-
sentcd by the vote for Governor. If
Wilson's majority be 5,298, as latest
reported, then the majority for the
State ticket cannot be less than G, 600,
and this will be increased in Novcm-
Der.

All Hail +!

Old Jcffcrson's signal triumph is
in no small degree due to the magnif-
iccnt organization of the Democratic
party in her borders. Too much
praise cannot be rendered to our in
domitablc Chairman of the Executive
Committee, Capt. John 7. Colston,
who devoted himself with unfaltering
devotion to the perfection of our or
ganization. In his more extended
territory, as member of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee, Julius c. Holmes,
Esq, was equally as untiring and en-
ergetic. He traversed the whole SEN
atoriaI district, and impressed every
where the necessity for complete Aar-
naony and thorough organization.
The latest dispatches from Ohio
place the Republican plurality in that
State at about II, 900. This, in view
of the tremendous efforts put forth
there by the Rcpublicans-thc use of
u s2,OOO,O 900 corruption fund, swarm
ing the State with deputy marshaIs
and illegal voters, the exhibition of
Blaine throughout the State, and the
numbcrlcss devices used to carry
Ohio for the Republican tickets
virtually terrible defeat for the g.
o. p, and almost certainly insures
the electoral vote of Ohio for Clcve-
land in November. The effect upon
the various doubtful States will be, to
say the least, tremendous in favor of
the Democrats and against the Re-
publicans.
The official vote of Berkeley county
gives Maxwell a majority of So over
Wilson. The remainder of the Dem
ocratic State ticket has majority
ranging from IS to As, except the Su-
prcmc Judges. Flick has 322 ma
jority over Snyder, and Brown % ma
jority over Woods. Unger, for the
Senate, ) majority over Feidt; Snod-
grass, Democrat, and Smith, Rcpub-
lican, elected to the House of Dele
gates; Lamon, Democrat, elected
Sheriff by 338 majority; Hcnshaw,
Democrat, Prosecuting Attorney, by
154 majority; Martin, Republican,
Circuit Clerk, by 5 majority; Doll,
Democrat, County Clerk, no opposi-
ton; KiImcr, Democrat, County
Commissioner, 81 majority.
The latest from the returns of this
State is conveyed in the following
dispatch from Wheeling to the BaIti-
more San, under date of October
10Th:
The official returns from nearly all
of the countries of West Virginia have
been received. and the remaining
counties have been heard from unof-
ficially. These returns give Wilson,
Dem, for Governor, 5,29S majority.
over Maxwell, the Republican Green
back fusion candidate, Democratic
gain of ? 100 over 1880, and of G, 492
over the combined Republican and
Greenback vote for Congressman in
1882. The Democracy held a jolifi-
cation at Wheeling Saturday night
over the victory. About 1900 men
were in the parade. The returns
from Pocahontas, one of the missing
counties, have just been received.
The county gives Wilson 400 majority
a Democratic gain of % on the vote
Of 1890:

PRESENTATION.

A number of the business men Of Wichi-
ia waited on Mr.. Ad \. Jones, agent of the
ST. Louis, IT. Scott & Wichita, at his office
last night and presented him with AN ele-
CANT diamond stud.
On entering the Office, Mr.. McPhee stepped
forward and said:
Mr.. Jones:-A number of the citizens Of
this proud city recognizing your excellent
qualities as citizen, and your accomnoda-
ten and integrity in connection with your
official capacity during your official career
in this city, beg that you will accept this
slight token of their esteem and appreciation
Of your services to the business interests of
our city,
Mr.. McPhee then opened the box con-
tanning the precious jewell and handed it to
Mr.. Jones, who appeared deeply touched by
this mark of esteem Mr. Jones in reply
said:
Gentleman:-1 thank you from the bot
tom of my heart for this magnificent gift. l
appreciate it more on account of the spirit
which prompted, than for its intrinsic value,
which ] mnst admit is far from Insignificant.
/ feel that ha,a done nothing to merit this
recognition of my poor services in behalf of
my company and business interests Of your
enterprising city.
In the..future shall still further exert my
limited ability, not only to build up the in
terests Of the St Louis, Fort Scott & Wich-
ita railroad, but also in every legitimate way
consistent with my official position, the in
terests of the merchants and business 90
Wichita. In conclusion / beg again to
thank you most heartily.
Mr.. Jones then invited the delegates to
the Occidental, where champagne and Hav-
anss went freely around.

really skating as the keen steel crisply cuts
and smoothly glides over the mirror-like
surface of the river.
