FIGURING ON TO-MORROw'S VOTE.
As this is the last day before the cleo
ton, there viii be a great deal of proPhe-
sying and guessing about the result to
morrow. As this is our last chance we
want now to make u guess.
The Fourth Congressional District in
1884 gave Gibson 16, 59s votes and Barbie
16, AS being majority of 153 for Gibson.
Owing to the active campaign Mr.. Hogg
made in expounding Democratic principles
and unifying the Democracy, and the I'M
savory record of Mr.. Hutchinson, we feel
safe in placing Mr.. Hogg's majority at
Loco.
In the Third Congressional District IN
1884 Nj. SNYDER received 1889 votes
Mr.. DAVIS Is, 24O, being a majority Of2,-
119 for Mr.. SNYDER. We predict for him
owing to his eminent services in Congress
and his vigorous campaign, a good major
ity over Judge j. H. BROWN, but owing
to the bitter personal fight for the nomi-
nation his majority will be much smaller
than last election.
In the Second Congressional district in
ISL MIR. WILSON received 1926 votes
and Mr.. REYNOLDS 16, 737, being a major
ity of /, 529 for MI. WILSON. West Vir-
ginia has never had an ADLER representa-
tive in Congress than Mr.. WILSON, and
the Democracy of his district will give him
q full vote. But Mr.. FLICK will bring
out a stronger Republican vote than Mr..
REYNOLDS. We place Mr.. WILSON'S ma
jority at 1,2OO.
In the First Congressional District IN
1891. Gen. GOFF received II, 1852 votes, and
Judge BRANNON 17,25S, being q majority
of2Oi for Gen. GOFF. Ohio county gave
GOFF 1893 votes, and Brannon i,454. We
have observed pretty closely the canvass
and have made careful inquiry Ofmen
who are good judges of the situation in
their respective localities. We find that
the general opinion is that the full vote of
the district will he pOlled and that Demo-
! Gratis who voted for Gen. GOFF through
courtesy last election will tomorrow
cast their votes for Honest JOHN BRAN
NON, and for uphOlding of Democratic
principles and for strengthening the hands
one of the best Presidents that has ever
ruled this nation. In Ohio county, whatever
disturbing influences may have been at
work, we feel assured that the Democratic
cote will be larger than in 1881. Though
Mr.. GOFF will doubtless still hold some
Democrats who are his personal friends,
we feel Just rs certain that Judge BRAN
NON will receive Il majority Us that this is
the first day of November. We will place
his majority at $50.
OF the five members of the Legislature
to be elected from Ohio county, wee
/ pect the Democrats to elect all. We be
| lieye the Democratic vote cast for mem
bers of the Legislature will be much larger
than last election. The Democrats recOg'
nize that the election ola United States
Senator to fight the battles of the Democ-
racy of our State and nation is at stake,
aud that the party cannot afford to lose
its strength, by failing to elect members o
the Legislature, and that it is extremely
important that the Ohio county's inter
ests be looked fter in the Legislature by
Democrats.
In the election of members of Legisla
ture throughout the State, we expect t.
hold u own. We believe we put it milt
when we say that the majority OH join
ballot in the next Legislature will be eyeI
greater than fifteen, the present majority
Now some, especially u Republican
friends, may say that We want to claim i
all. But we feel victory in the air, and i
is with great effort that we can persuad,
ourselves to place the figures as favorable
to Republicans as we have.
