To arrive at the details Is a little dilicnIt

given by The following from the larger

memhrs Of the LegisIat.re, and carried
Tue entire State ticket by an average gam
OF 900.
Wood county (Parkcrsburg) gave the
Fusion ticket 200 majority: Democratic
gain 81 100.
ksnawha county (Cbarlcston) gives the
FUSION Ticket 700 majority; Democratic
gain Of 300.
Wetzel gives $50 Democratic; gain OF
600.
Jefferson gives 1900; a gain OF 400.
Harrison. the home OF Congressman COT.
gives Democratic majority Of 80 and n
gain 81 500.
Wsyne, Boone. Logan, HAMPSHIRE Har-

gen each shows Republican gain.
Chairman Leonard claims the State by

1T il notable fact that while the Chesa-

1.sC0 in 1882, and it has now whrleh over.
giving en- average Democratic majority Of
1880. Colts defeat by Judge Brannon in
November is absolutely certain.
The State will return a solid delegation
Of Democrats TO CONGRESS. In the Legisla.
turc just elected the Democrats will have a
good working majority in both houses.
The fusion will cause them to lose about
eleven members, which loss will not be APP
probable. The total result is hailed as a
sweeping victory by the Democrats. aud
boniir's are glowing tonight in the noun
iains in every direction.
