West Virginia Politics.
NEW YORK, October 31st.-A special from
Wheeling says The legislative returns are
now in and the Democrats have majority
of thirteen on joint ballot This is a Re
publican gain of thirteen. The returns on
the State ticket are lacking from four coun-
ties. The Democratic majority for Wilson
will be under one thousand.
1t seems that the Moundsville Rep0rte5,
which was burnt out yesterday, was Re
publican journal and was destroyed by po-
litical opponents. 1t had announced in its
last issue that it would publish sensation
next time. The paper will appear Saturday

The Betting Index.
New YORK, October 31st.-The Times
says: Betting men say they never knew
an election of which it is so difficult to pre-
diet the result as that now approaching.
One Of the best known betting men in'the
city said last evening Things are worse
mixed up than | ever saw them. No man
can predict with anY certainty how the
thing is going. As far as betting is CON
cerned, very little has been done during the
last two or three days. As rule, odds on
the rate of 100 to so, and everywhere in
favor of Cleveland on this State in the
same ratio. On other States there does not
seem to be any betting here at all
Tammany Preparing to Knife Cleveland.
PHILADELPHIA October 31st-The Times
(anti- Biaine) has a New York snecial, say
ing The talk that Tammany Hall has
made its bargain with Blaine increases
daily. 1t does look very much as if the
Kelly crowd We're really going to knife
Cleveland. Kelly's paper, the Star, has a
doubleleaded editorial, charging that the
County Democracy were going to sell out
to the Republicans for the purpose of elect
ing Grace Mayor. This is construed as
preparing the public to see greatly re-
duced Democratic vote in this city, and to
afford cover fof the Tammany deal.
Illegal Registration in New Orleans.
New ORLEANS October 31st-Judge Par
dee, of the United States Circuit Court.
to-day heard arguments on the petition of
United States Supervisor of Elections George
L. Norton, that the State Registrar, Brews-
ter, show cause why Z, ,225 names of Illegal,
dead and other disfranchised voters are
found on the registration rolls, should not
be erased and cancelled" The Judge, in
deciding the case, said: $50 far as this
matter is concerned, do not know of any
statute that confers jurisdiction on this
Court, outside of what the Court has to
guard in the interests of the United States
Supervisors OF Election, and other Federal
officers. Under the Acts of 1875, The civil
Courts should have jurisdiction. If there
was reference in the case to any direct
statute of the United States, this Court
might be of competent jurisdiction but
this is a matter upon which this Court can
not pass. The motion that the State Regis
trar show cause why these names should
not be stricken off is denied"

and signed by Rev. Charles O'Reiley, Treasurer
and Secretary. and by myself, it was enoned
on all to keep League work apart from politics.
and am aware that the people of Ireland, as
body, do not take any side III the contest. Some
of the most active and earnest members of the
League are working in their individual capacity
on different sides, supporting whatever candi-
dates their consciences and party affiliations
dictate, as they have a perfect right to do. In
illustration of this, there are my friends Alex
andcr sullivan. Patrick Collins John Fincrtv.

No honest lrishmen. either in Ireland or Ameri-
ca. can charge any of these gentlemen with be-

Ireland. Yours truly, PATRICK EGAN,
President of the Irish National League of
America.
