everything in its path. Oak trees were
twisted like straws, corn and fodder were
blown away, and fences, barns and dwellings

The Washington Post remarks in reference
to the Inauguration 1.-THE public may rest
assured that the preliminaries are well under
way; that the arrangements for the parade will
be of the best possible character; that, not
withstanding the fears which some people
have of being ''roped in" the avenue will be
cleared, so that all may have an unobstructed
view of the procession; that the Pension build
ing will be rooted, foored and warmed up IN
ample time for the ball; that quarters will be
obtained for visitors in sufficiency to accom-
modate all who come; and that, while there
will be no garish attempt at display, no effort
will be spared to make it as orderly and i'm
pressive as the occasion warrants and as the
multitudes participating in it will necessitate "

The official count of the vote for State Off
cials in West Virginia last October was COM
pleted Thursday afternoon in joint session OF
the Legislature, and the result officially pro-
mulgated by Speaker Dennis, of the House.
Wilson'S Democratic majority for Governor,
as determined by the official count, is 1892.
This result caused general surprise. All re-
ports given out heretofore by the State COM
mittees of both parties made the majority less
than 5000. Gov. jackson himself authorized
the statement that it would be 1918. In all
estimates Randolph county was placed at
about 600 Democratic, while the official re-
turns make it nearly 1000. This explains
