Both Sides Continue To Claim the Election of
Governor in West Virginia.
WASHINGTON. Nov. Ex-senator Quay said
tonight. to several members Of the Philadelphia
committee that is here seeking quarters for the
the Inauguration. that he now felt sure that the
Republican majority in the House would be from
seven to ten: that be believed that the First dis
trict Of West Virginia would have a Republican
Representative, and that Golf Republican, was
elected Governor of that State by q majority of
200.
West Virginia is Democratic. My latest in
have elected the Governor by a nice
little m~ajority-probably 200. We also
have the Legislature by q majority Of two.
The congressional contests have resulted, /
think, in giving Us two Of the districts, but
there is room for q little doubt on that score.
Our electoral vote is for Cleveland
on a plurality OF not much less than 1000. Our
friends, the enemy, had a magnificent organiza-
ton; its like has never been seen in West Vir-
einis. In my own county the Republican COM
mittee brought back more than 300 voters, 1lS

November. The sinews of political warfare
were not absent. There was q good deal OF
sinew, and 1t exerted itself nightly. Had it

Philadelphia Press.
American consumers are fortunate in having
pure -four. 1t is rarely adul:erated in this couu-
try and IL is cheap; but Americans have the
dearest bread in the world. in many places the
worst, and In al! bread OF light weight. While
bread in London is from l to 9 cents a pound,
and in France sells AZ from 2 to 4 cents, In
Philadelphia it sells at ) cents in o majority Of
cases, az 4 in q very few, and as high as Z or 8
in many.
elsewhere In the first examination OF the kind
ever conducted here, this bread is nearly always
of short weight. OF the 125 bakers whose loaves
were bought. but a few weighed sixteen ounces.
A barrel of fiour. honestly mixed and kneaded,
will furnish $50 Bpound-loaves baked. The loss
pound. aud a barrel of fisur will make 2S4
pounds Of dough. SO that there is some margin
for ali the loss caused by baking.
As q barrel of -four costs from Sc to 81 deliv-
cred, q little of the best more and most of the
averages less than this when bought in quaint.
ties by a baker, the profit on $3.50 received for
$50 loaves at 8 cents apiece, $l5 on 6-cent loaves
or SIT. so on 7-cent, should te large enough to
give full weight. When the bread is two ounces
short, however. thirty-fve more losves can be
made, an addition of 81. 15 to the receipts at )
cents apiece. II the loaf weighs only twelve
ounces eighty more loaves can be sold. and the
barrel yields 333 loaves, or at ) cents SIG. %, two
and one-half times its original cost.
This light weight comes out of the poor, who
have no option but to buy bread. being, for the
most part, unable to make it, and their pur-
chases are less protected by law in Philadelphia
than in any European city. In London the
bread must DO WEIGHED in the presence of the
dom and ia France the dealer is required to
weigh bread when asked and ia severely fined
for short-weigbt loves discovered by the inspect

Anxious TO Know Harrison.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Nov. 20.-The Journals
Bismarck, OAK, special says: ''The Indians on
the Sioux reservation arc now becoming anxious
to form the acquaintance of Gen. Harrison.
They realize that he will soon become the "Great
Father" and they desire to meet him and present
their claims regarding the proposed opening of
the reservation. They want to visit him before
he is inauGurated, and the agents will be greatly
annoyed by their opportunities unless their re-
quest 10 granted"
A citizen Of Bismarck has a letter from q prom
inent Congressman. saying that nothing can be
done with the Dakota bill until the bill provid-
ing for the organization of Oklahoma Territory
is disposed of, because the latter precedes it on

fuge on the part of those who oppose the admis.
sion of Dakota.

Fort SMITH, Ark, Nov. 20.-The most inter-
estine and sensational murder case that has
been in the federal cour: for years terminated
tonight in q verdict Of guilty as to Henry W..
Miller and William Woods, two prominent
citizens of Donovan county, Kansas. On the
25th of last November Woods left home with
an old echoolmate and friend, named john
Hantz, for a hunt in the Indian Territory.
They subsequently picked up a companion
in q stranger named Miller, who
went with them. They were gone
three months, and were seen in various
parts of the Chocktaw and Cherokee nations.
When they returned home Hantz was missing,
and a searching party afterwards found his
body in Verdieris river, face down, with a bullet
hole in the back of his head. His watch was
found in Millsris pocket The evidence was
purely of a circUmstantial nature, ard the re-
covery of his body was due mainly to the devo-
tion OF a pointer dog belonging to the murdered
man. The dog refused 10 leave the place of it's
masters murder and bayed continually, until too
weak to move, until the body was found.
