FIXING coFF'S MAJORITY.
Republicans Now Positive of Success
In West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The Republicans
state for the first time with positiveness that
Gen. Goff has been elected governor of West
Virginia. They fix the majority at l59
They say that this is absolute, and that they
do not intend to be deprived Of their rights.
There are fears of trouble. The most fla
grant outrages on the ballot are coming to
light daily, and the respectable citizens o.
all parties, whose boast has always been
that West Virginia was the only Southern
State that had free ballot and fair count,
are astounded. Frauds are capable of proof
to throw out legislative districts and reverse
the majority in the legislature Republicans
have little hope Of getting justice In the low
er branch. 1t is pnssiDie that one or two
contests before the Senate will result in the
seating Of Republican contestees. The
.,count-oat" of Republican candidates for
ed. The only hope Republicans have is that
the National House will give their three
fairly elected men their seats on a contest.
1t is stated on the authority Of Democrats
that the defeated Democratic candidates for
tlonal Committee within three days after the
election, and before the result could even be
guessed at here, informing them that they
were elected, and must claim their seats.
Senator Quay entirely discredits the re-
ports sent out by the Democratic State Com
mittee that Golf, Republican, has been de-
feated for governor Of West Virginia. The
dispatches he has received, indicate more
strongly than ever that West Virginia has
returned three Republican and one Demo-
cratic congressman. 1t is said here that the
Democratic managers became alarmed at the
situation in West Virginia almost at the last
moment, and that the closeness of the result
Is due to the large amount of money the
Democrats poured into the State within
three days before election.
