nounced at an early day. 1t is
reliably stated that Gen. Harrison has
determined not to go East. Nothing is
Hso1 known here OF the reported Invitation
extended to Senator Allison. Those in
a position to form good opinion think
that In view of Vice Chairman Clark
sons Intimate friendship wit Senator
Allison he may practically be regarded
as the latter's representative in any in
tercliange of political views between the
senator and the presldent-elect. Should
Senator Allison visit the president-elect
close upon the heels of his friend. Col.
Clarkson, after the latter's consulta-
tons OF yesterday and tonight, such
visit would doubtless be regarded here
with considerable significance. There
IS pretty good reason for be-
IleVlng that a goodly part OF
vlce-chairman Clarkson's conyersa-
ton with Gen. Harrison was devoted to
the political situation in New York
state, as viewed by the former after a
,l1r loar months M residence and commingling
with the leaders of the old factions in
the Empire state. This conclusion is
reached from the fact that Col. Clark
son admits he he has given his journal
istIc interests scarcely moments atten-
ton since the campaign opened, his
paper. the Iowa State Register,
having been edited and man
aged entirely by his brother during
that period. Furthermore, that
he gave the Eastern end of the CAM
palgn far more personal attention than
the Western, which was managed prln-
cIpally by HarriSon's home friends. 1t
IS this experience with, and fresh pOliti-
cal knowledge of Eastern men and
affairs, that Col. Clarkson is
believed to have been imparting
to the president-elect. The correspond
ent would add, IN the absence of his
ability to quote either of the participat-
ing authorities, that the situation in
New York from an administrative stand
point, is thought here to have some ex-
ceedingly puZzling and
PROSPECTIVELY CONFLICTING FEAT
URES,
growing out of the ambitious ex-
pectations of leading statesmen
and politicians. Coils. Clarksop and
Swords, with their families left at
late hour tonight for Chicago,
where they shall spend tomorrow.
Gen. Hovey will remain here until Sat
urday and then proceed to Washing OH,
preparatory to the converting Of con
greSS. He stated tonight that he should
not resign his seat in the house, as re-
ported, to take effect at the end of the
year, but would in all probability hold
his membership until the day of his in
aauguratlon as governor. 1t is definitely
Known now that Col. .Posey,th the defeated
Republican candidate for congress in
the First district, will contest Judge
Parrott's right to the seat. PARROT
has a plurality of only -
votes. The specific grounds for
Posey's contest rests upon the al
legation that fifty nonresident students
attending ST. Minerad Catholic college
In Spencer county, were permitted to
vote; also that six of the aforesaid
students were sick in bed and unable to
leave the college building, but were
allowed to vote by proxy. 1t is proDa-
bic. a notice of contest Will also be filed
within the next thee days by Congress
man johnston, Republican. in the
Eighth district. whc was defeated by
BrOokshire, Democrat, by SO plurality.
These two contests bid fair to engender
an interesting discussion in congress.
WEST VIRGINiAs AUE RIGHT.
Senator Faulkner Says So and He
Ought to Know.
Special to the Globe.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 2O.-Senator
Faulkner, of West Virginia, says:
''West Virginia is Democratic. My
latest information is to the effect that
we have elected the governor by nice
little majority-plobably 200. We also
have the legislature by majority of 2.
The congressional contests have, |
think, resulted in giving us two of the
districts. but there is still room for
little doubt OH that score. Our electoral
vote is for Cleveland 10y a plurality of
not much less than 1,0O0. Our friends,
the enemy, had q magnificent organiZa-
ton; its like has never been seen
in West Virginia. In my own county
the Republican committee brought back
more than 300 voters, 1l9 of them ne
groes. who had gone away from the
state to live, but who had not, up to the
day of election, forfeited their right of
suffrage at their old homes. Some of
these had strayed as far awavas Kan
Sas and Nebraska. but they all returned
in time to do their utmost for their
party on the eventful 9th of November.
The sinews of political warfare were
not absent. There was good deal of
Sinew and it eXerted itself nightly.
Had it been put into active operation
few days earlier, and the Republicans
had time to reach the back counties, we
would have been beaten out of our
boots"
