1NvISCIBLE WEST VIRGINIA.
The Democrats OF Wheeling, assisted
oy delegations from all the adjacent Ohio
towns, held grand Publication Saturday
night to celebrate the victory in West Vir.
ginia and especially in Ohio county. An
immense torchlight demonstration was the
feature OF tho celebration. The associated
press is aiding the Republican papers to
disseminate piece Of misinfOrmation,
namely, that the majority for Wilson is
falling off from that of 1880. To do this,
they use tho 10000 plurality Of Jackson
instead of his majority OF 3, lG0, On their
basis Wilson's majority would approxi-
mate $4,000. The heavy gains in this
state cannot be discounted in that way,
They are shown moro particular in the
First congressional district, where Wilson
has clear majority OF 6,l00. In 1852
Gen. GoH, Republican, carried this dis
tIiot by l, SIG, and is candidate for re
election. The Fourth district, also held
in doubt, and which showed fusion ma
lorlty of 1,S60 in lSS2, now shows a
Democratic majority Of 1900, ilsurlug
! Gibson's re election and making the West
Virginia congressional delegation solid.
1t is for these things that to nights 70.
Joicing was held and because Blaine told
| the West Nirginians that his election is in
their hands.
