Contested Case in Virginia.

WHEELING, W. Va, Nov. 25.-The new
developments in the proposed election case is
the discovery that in two counties, Wayne
and Cabell 500 of the Prohibition state
tickets, bearing the name of the Republican
candidate for congress, were thrown out, As
the Democratic memberelect of congress
had but 164 majority in that district, the
counting of these 500 tickets would elect the
Republican candidate by $50.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. pa conyention
of the anti-instrumental music wing of the
United Presbyterian church closed in Xenia,
this state, Friday, after two days delibera-
ton. There were about 100 delegates
present, representing every state and terri
tory in the Union. Rev W. ". Barr of Phila-
delphia was the chairman. The purpose of
the convention was to emphasize the opposi-
tion which is felt by a considerable portion
of the church to the use of the organ in the
services of praise. At the general assembly
of the church held at Pittsburg in 1888 a ma
jority Of the delegates voted to amend their
constitution 50 as to allow the use of organs
The opponents Of the organ mustered their
forces, and went to st Louis this wear
to attend the assembly, and enter their
protest, hoping to revoke the former action;
but, instead of accomplishing their purpose
they met with a more severe defeat than Ec-
fore. 1t was then decided to call the conven-
tion, which has just been held, and demand
that instrumental music in the churches he
disallowed. Some of the speakers declared
that it would be better to dissolve the
church than to permit so uurighteous an inuo-
walton. Resolutions were adopted protesting
against the action of the several assemblies
on tho subject. The pledge to stanl
together in unyielding opposition to the IN
novation was renewed, and it was de-
termined that assistance should BE- withheld
from any church or church board coun5e-
nancing the use of the organ. A fund is to
he raised to circulate tracts upon the sub
ject, and day will be appointed OF fasting
and prayer for the healing of the difficulty.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The labors of the spe-

point.T by the federal council several months
ago to inquire into the causes of the frightful
increase of drunkenness in the Swiss republic
and to suggest a remedy have resulted
in decisive action by the council 1t is ad.
mitted that the evil investigated IS to be at
tributed entirely TO the extraordinary cheap
ness of French brandie, and their native
limitations. The cheameis Of theso vile and
intoxicating compounds has made of them
within a comparatively short time a ma
tional beverage for the Swiss. The com
mission found French brandy bottles in cup
boards of the poorest peasants, and cite
countless cases of once prosperous estates and
families brought to absolute ruin and wreck
by the intemperanco thIiftesSness, and
impoteGcy caused by free and long continued
use of cheap brandy. The remedy proposed
is law of almost unprecedented prohibitory
power. It VIII make the duty on imported
| brandies so high as to absolutely bar them
from the country, and will tax all domestic
manufactures of the liquor, except those
! expressly made for export, so heavily as to
make the procurement Of brandy in any
form by any but the very rich practically
| impossible in Switzerland,

While the disciples of republicanism are
congregated at their various capitals in
each county throughout the territory this
week, making their legislative selectionsand
nominations for county Offices, it would be
we'll to talk over the delegate question and
decide upon concerted, enthusiastic and
thorough support Of the nominee at the
last great gathering Of Dakota leaders
And right here in Lincoln county, the
home of Judge Clifford, should this mat
ter be pushed to a elimination that will
in time place this the banner county in
more ways than one, by elevating her to
the distinction of containing fewer demo-
Gratis according to population than any
other county in this vast territory. The
opportunity is here presented by the vo-
ters of Lincoln county to express their in-
dividual or collective satisfaction and ex-
treme qualification at the acknowledge
ment of the existence and request of Lin
coin county for representation, and by
their ballot the voters can thank the indi-
viduals, the delegations and the counties
that went into the convention at Pierre and
who from score of able possible candi-
dates, selected Lincoln county man to
represent the half-mil1ion people of Dako-
ia territory.
Not only does this duty rest upon every
voter in Lincoln county, but throughout
the limits Of the seventy-fve big common
wealths in Dakota territory every republi-
can should exercise the same influence
and caution toward getting out full vote
at the coming election, and that tor the
republican nominee for delegate. This
rests not only an absolute duty, but de.
cidedly necessary that division and admis.
sion be furthered. Upon the vote cast
for Judge Clifford next month will sur.
round the question whether we are unani
nous in our request. That we are unani
NOUS is beyond reason of doubt. Ther
back up and substantiate your individual
clamor for the relegation of the mug
wump carpet -baggers sent us through
eartern agencies, by casting an overpower
ing vote, one beyond all precedent as re
CARDS unanimity, for the republican can
didate who will go down to Washington
and work for the division and admission
of Dakota. The more decided his pom
derous majority, the more influence wi
attach itself to his presence when he act
as Dakota's agent in demanding ou
rights, and the more undivided his cor
stituency just SO much in excess will hi
requests be considered Indorse the az
tions of the three hundred and ninety-tw
. leaders at the Pierre convention by givin
Clifford solidifed and unquestionabl
unanimous support, and unless congres
should be decidedly unfair beyond the Col
fines Of reason, the delegate to congres
from Dakota territory will receive the re-
ognition that should naturally be allotte
ia man who is backed by more inhab
; tants, more wealth and more actual pr!
gressiveness than any three congressme
in the United States.
The family fights are ended, and upo
the rebellious heads of the various factiol
in the territory lies neither defeat or Vi

The Ohio election occurs next Tuesday.
The prospects are now favorable for the
republicans carrying the state by about
10000 majority, although any reduction
of the 10000 democratic majority of last
year will be republican victory. With
Ohio reversing the democratic rule Of the
past three years, the nation would give
Blaine and Logan majority of about
forty in the electoral college.

There seems to be prevailing scnti-
ment stalking throug ghout the county that
Mr.. Math. Hanson is the man for county
commissioner from this district, and from
the present outlook the voters will have
to go out outside the county to make a
better selection. The integrity and tair
ness of Mr.. Hanson on all matters would
be unquestioned, while his former expert
ence as deputy county clerk has given him
that experience that is abso,ctely = ueces-
sary and essential for one filling the posi-
ton of county commissioner. The matter
of the desire of the district should be tax
en- into consideration by the whole conven-
ton, and when it is known that Canton
township contains ouer one-thirI of the
population of the enlue district, the fair
ness of selecting Math. Hanson becomes
patent to ALL The county convention will
be but allotting the fairness expected of
the delegates, by considering the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Hanson.
