One Thing Certain.

There may be difference of opin-
ion as to whether it was Rum, Roman.
ism or Rebellion that defeated Blaine
in New York. There may be a diff
ference of opinion whether Tammany
voted for Cleveland or Blaine. There
may even be difference of opinion
as to whether Cleveland or Blaine
carried New York. There may also
be difference of opinion as to wheth-
err Cleveland, after his Inauguration
and administration of four years, has
not made better President than
Blaine would have made; whether
his policy has not contributed more
to the advancement of the whole
country; whether all classes of our
population have not been made more
prosperous and contented; whether
the tariff and taxes have not been
adjusted more equitably; and wheth-
or, indeed, the Democrats are likely
to continue in power fifty years or
one hundred years.
These are questions about which
Democrats and Republicans do differ
and will continue to differ.
But there is one thing settled.
There is one thing upon which
both Democrats and Republicans
agree, and about which there is no
difference of opinion whatever; and
that is, that the New DOMINION
STEAM PRINTING HOUSE, with it's new
Campbell Press, and its daisy little
engine, to run it, is the most complete
printing establishment in this, or
any other country town of the State.
That is one thing certain!
Moreover, Presidents may come
and Presidents may go; parties may
rise and parties may fall, but the
New DOMINION will go on giving a
fuller and more complete exhibit of
the general and local news than can
be obtained from any other paper in
or out Of the county

AN amusing incident occurred one
day this week on Main Street. Two
Republicans. strangers to each other,
were engaged in heated political
argument, each taking the other to
be Democrat. Each accused the
other Of being a Rebel and all that
sort Of thing. There was every ap-
pearaDce of coming strom until
each declared his political faith.
Then there was mutual embracing.

Considerable interest was attached
70 West Virginia in the late cam
paign. A monster effort was made
to draw it away from its old place on
the Democratic side of the Electoral
College. 1t failed signally. West
Virginia can be relied upon every
time. She has not yet fallen from
grace. The majority is not yet GER
tain, about 5000 perhaps, but it is
enough and is safe. The little Noun
tain State is Democratic in principle
and may be relied upon as being
Democratic in her vote.

Special dispatch to the New DOMINION:
WHEELING Nov. II $50 A. M.-Re-
turns from half the state of New
York by the official canvass have re-
duced Cleveland's plurality 153 votes.
Hon. John Kelly telegraphed Gov.
Jackson yesterday that Cleveland's
plurality was 1046. This is Correct.
The Republican Committee threaten
legal proceedings, but have no
grounds to proceed upon.

Nafural G1a.

We are pleased to note that a pro-
ject is on foot to sink a gas well in
the neighborhood for the purpose Of
supplying Morgantown with natural
gas.
The New DOMINION is always ready
to welcome, encourage and assist
any and every enterprise looking 10
the development Of our town.
We recognize in the natural gas
project possibilities that may revo-
lutionize the whole business of the
community and give such an impetus
to our growth as the most sanguine
have not imagined.
If the projectors should strike q
gas belt in this valley it would not
be five years until this whole section
of country would become resonant
with the hum of all manner of ma
chinery and manufactures. The
immense quantities of raw material,
timber and ore, in our midst would
insure the investment of capital in
local manufactures of various kinds.
In the town of Wellsburg, in this
State, a single gas well supplies the
whole population with both fuel and
light-dispensing entirely with coal
and woodland turns every machine
in the town. Not only so, but =
town that was as dead as this before
gas was obtained, sprung immedi-
ately into new life; lands were bought
up; iron and glass manufactures
were built, and it is now a busy and
prosperous community-drawing all
its motive power and good fortune
from this single gas well.
The same good fortune may favor
the enterprise here. We have every
reason TO believe that gas can be
obtained here in paying quantities.
The chances abundantly justify the
venture. We hope TO see the enter
prise 60 forward at once.
When gas is obtained we are quite
sure of having water. We ought to
have water in any event-the past
dry season has. we think, demon
strated this fact to a majority of our
citizens. But gas will throw more
light on this and other enterprises.
These enterprises are catching"
They breed after their own kind. Let
us once get start and we will work
out of the woods.
In the midst of the general inter
est in the great national contest we
should not forget to congratulate
ourselves upon the return Of the Hon.
VIM. L. Wilson to Congress from
this District. He increased the ma
jority given in his district in the
State election, Notwithstanding the
free trade cry and the hard fight
which was made against him. Mr..
Wilson is perhaps the most schol-
airy and cultured man who has ever
represented this District. He is an
honor to West Virginia. He did
noble service before and will do it
again. Let all the people rejoice.

fear that Cleveland's election would
endanger the business interests Of
the country, should study carefully

Chinese Vengeance.

The Carson Appeal says: 1t is generally
believed the causes which led to the killing
of a Piute Indian by the Chinese that he
had several times informed the authorities
of the liquor selling to the Indians in
dulged in by the Chinese. Through this
information several of the liquor sellers
have been arrested, and they determined
to rid the world Of him. This sort OF
liquor traffic is very lucrative to the
Chinese, as they are thereby enabled to
dispose of a very vile brand Of whisky at
high figures. From the appearance of the
body at least a dozen men must have
''taken a whack at It," One wound in
particular showed the fiendish disposition
Of the murderers. A long piece of iron
had been thrust up the nose OF the Indian
into the brain, and then with this leverage
the skull had been pried open and the fea-
lures torn apart. The jury only examined
the head of the deceased, as any Of the
wounds there would have produced death.
The appearance of the face was 80 sicken-
ing that they did not care to make any fur
Their investigations, and found that the ln-
dian came to his death from being stabbed
and beaten, etc., by parties unknown to
the Jury.

II True. Ia Then?

1t is intimated now that the Republic
cans have carried Ohio by $1,000 major
ity. Whether the authority for the report
is good we are not able to say; but there
are many reasons that lead US to think
that the report is not reliable. If, how
ever, it is true, what then? This: that
the Republicans in a struggle against
death on the threshold of the campaign
have accomplished enough to keep them
in the fight. On the 4th Of November
they will fall all the harder for it. The
Democrats will work with all the more
vigor to this end and thereby make vic
tory doubly sure. But we repeat hat in
the light of much information to the con-
trary, we are not disposed to believe that
the report Of $4,000 Republican majority
in Ohio is true, and while, also, no harm
can come from believing it SO, still the
cautious reader will prefer to await the
official returns before discrediting all pre-
vious reports.

The Humboldt County Republican
Platform.

The Silver State tartly says: This plat
form, which is brief, deals more with
national than with State affairs. 1t in
dorses Senator J. P. Jones for his integrity
and sterling worth, and instructs the Leg.
i~slative candidates to support him for re-
election. 1t also instructs the Legislative
nominees to do all in their power to re-
strict the charges and determinations of
railroads within the State, and with that
inconsistency for which platforms are pro-
verbal, Endorses the State platform. which
is silent on the railroad question. II
favors a modification of the tax imposed
by the State on the net proceeds of mines,
but is silent regarding the discrimination
of the Government against silver, which
takes an average of Is per cent from the
bullion producer. and places it in the
Treasury of the United States.

He Treats Us to Some Mining and
Some Politics.

TAYLOR, Oct. II. 1884.
En-. SENTINEL: As the 4th of November
drsws nigh, those of our citizens who have
heretofore refrained from INDUCING in
political discussions are now about the
uoisiest Of partisans, and "TH bet you,
etc, "-mostly a FOOLS argument-can be
frequently heard on the streets during
these heated discussions. Several bona
eide bets have been made, however, during
the past week, Mr.. -, of Taylor, having
vagered 500 with Mr.. -, Of Ward, that
Cleveland will carry New York, which, by
the way, we consider a very good bet. To
selose observer in a small community like
this, the hand writing on the wall" as to
tie success OF the local Democratic ticket,
h quite apparent. Mr.. Robert Briggs,
our ~sspirant for Senator, will be elected
beyond a doubt. as he is deseryedly popu-
lr with the miners of the county for up
holding their wages at 81 per day. Be-
sdes this, Mr.. Briggs has given a helping
hand to many a poor destitute fellow who
Otherwise might have gone hungry. The
RFral other candidates stand equally a
god chance Of receiving a majority of the
safrages OF their constituents. The Con-
g~ressional fight is being canvassed over
considerably, and bets of two to one on
our present Representative, George w.
Cassidy, go without takers. The fact is,
Cassidy's manly representation Of in
t%erests, /. e., his noble fight at the last ses-
sion over our home product silver is
fully appreciated by the people OF White
Pine county and should be by the entire
people Of the State irrespective OF party,
creed or sectional issues. With Mr.. Cas-
sidy az a Pacific Coast watch dog" in
the halls Of Congress, our people can feel
secure IN their interests being ably and
faithfully attended to.
Since my las. letter everything is run
ming smoothly in Taylor. Both the Dem
ocratic and Republican delegates in the
late conventions held a meeting in the
Town HaIl Friday evening, and nominated
aloint ticket for township officers. The
meeting was a harmonious one. The
strike mentioned in my last, that wac
made a short time ago in the Sunrise"
one OF the Argus group Of mines, has de-
'eloped into a large body of high grade
ore, and the owners feel exceedingly jubi-
Ant IN consequence. We of the back
woods are going to get a pointer or two
10 politics this evening from a Virginia
uiy Republican by the name of Morrison.

The San Francisco Alta says: Wednes
day morning the first feature OF the stock
market on Wall street was a decline in
prices. That may have been the effect OF
the reports from Ohio Of $40, 900 Republi-
can majority" Later in the day IT was
ascertained that the Republican majority
was not more than half that, and stocks
went up. Evidently the business interests
are not aguish with terror Of a Democratic
President.
