West Virginia is Democratic. My latest infor-
nation Is to the effect that we have elected the
governor by nice majority-probably 2)O. We
also have the legislature by a al 'rty OF two.
Tho congressional contests have, I think, re-
suited In giving two Of the districts but there
iastill room for little doubt on that score. Our
electoral vote Is for Cleveland by q plurality of
not much less than 1,OOO Our friends, the
enemy, had q magnificent organization; It's like

own county the Republican committee brought
hack more than 300 voters 1!9 of them negroes,
who had gone away from the state to 1--we, but
who had not, up to election day, forfeited their
right Of suffrage at their old homes. Some OF
these had strayed as far away Kansas and Ne
brasl1a, 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 q good deal Of
