THE MAJoRITIEs.
he proper majority Of the Democ-
In West Virginia would be from
Tie t. five thousand. If we win by
hundred it will be because Cleve-
"A adds ten thousand to the number
otes polled by his party in the
lke. Here, as elsewhere, Cleveland
idly gains strength, while Blaine's
Enetism eXhausts itself in the coal
Is aud oil wells and was drawn of
galway tracks and thus is wholly
Ellpated and lost in West Virginia
Ultimately, however, for Blaine, the
NV Republicans of the state were
,ed at the head Of the ticket, and
ines losses and Cleveland's gains
not be apparent in results
the next ten days. In othel
DIS, the Democratic majority mex
X will be no measure of Cleveland
iority in November.
