The very best was done on both
sides in the West Virginia election.
1t will be week or more before cor
rect returns can be had from all the
counties. We do not believe that
the Democratic majority will he over
5000. Blaine will reduce that. The
Democratic party has another fight
ing chance. If the taxes are reduc-
ed, the debt paid off and amends
made, it may hold its own; but il
the administration course is contin
ued, the majority will be on the
other side the next time. The State
Committee had hard and uphill
work, and Chairman Cowden ant
Secretary Schofield deserve credit
for their persistence, as do all tru,
Republicans.

TROY, N. Y, Oct. 16.-A private
dispatch from Wheeling w. Va, to
Byron Somes, managing editor OF
the Telegram, disputes the claim of
the Democratic committee that Will
son is elected governor by 5000 ma
jority. The dispatch says the re-
turns so far in do not sustain such
a claim, but indicate a Republican
plurality. So far twenty one out of
forty-four counties have made com
plete returns. Of these eighteen
show Republican gains and three
Democratic gains. The net Repub-
lican gain so far is $685.. The same
ratio carried out in the remainder of
the State would give a Republican
majority of 1,944.
A Telegram special from Wheel
ing, w. Va, dated midnight, says
there seems to be no doubt of the
election of Maxwell (Republican) for
governor.

returns were received from but four
counties. These give net Republi-
can gain of 376. Returns from thir-

Guided in the above, show net Re-
publican gain of 80. The object of
the despatch sent out by the chair
man of the Democratic Committee
last night, to the effect that the State
had gone 10000 Democratic, was to
ease the Democrats down on the
Ohio defeat. While all indications
seem to show that the State has gone
Democratic, there is nothing yet to
indicate for that majority exceeding
5000. In this, Ohio county, the
Democrats claimed gain of 500,
and the Republicans conceded 800.
The count shows by SO Democratic

last night claimed would show a

no possibility of fixing the accurate

MARION, N. c., Oct. 1.-TWO

in Mitchell County, near the mica
mines, met with a terrible death
yesterday. While passing through
long strip Of woods not far from

large catamount, and the younger
child was instantly killed, the Zero
cious animal having buried his claws

sister attempted to escape, but was
pursued by the catamount and SO
terribly lacerated that she was un.

girls were aged s and 6 years.

BERKELEY COUNTY REPUBLICAN.

Berkeley County surmounted all OPP
position and gave Maxwell 30 ma
jority. BY the work and watchful-
ness of all true and loyal Republicans
part of the County ticket vas saved.
The fight was close and bitter,
though it passed off quietly; and
beyond those who were carried away
by party extremes and personal pas
sions, there is nothing to to he re-
membered after the discussion of the
election is over. AS citizens we have
to 60 to work together for ourselves
and for our interests in town and
county. The election has shown
young men that any honest occupa-
ton is better than the trade of poll
tics; for some of the men for whom
we had the highest esteem and re-
gard gave evidence by their ballot
that personal worth and ability did
not command as high a premium
with them as church and society
preach up. To succeed politically a
man must be able to serve both God
and Mammon-he must be this and
be that and the other, and then run
a chance of being defeated because
of something he did or another
thing he didn'tdo. We shudder at the
barbarous practice of running the
gauntlet, and pity the hapless vic.
tim; yet the 10th century civilization
witnesses tortures inflicted more in.
