West NirgInIa Democratic.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.--The receipt OF
the news OF the recount in Charleston, w.
Va, by which Anderson (Democnt), can
didatc for Congress from the Third Dis
trict, is given n majority Of seventeen, and
the election OF Fleming (Dcmocrat) for
Governor, is said to be assured, did not
disturb the Republican leaders, 80 they
say. They assert that their majority in
the House in the Fifty-hrst Congress,
with the West Virginia delegation solidly
Democratic, will be five. The only appar-
ent effect Of the West Virginia news was
TO slightly strengthen the sentiment among
Republican members in favor OF holding
an extra session soon after the beginning
OF the new Administration. Itis conceded
that Gen. Harrison will make his action in
this matter conform largely TO the wishes
OF the members-elect.

THE RESULT.

After day of voting and night of excite ment and noise just what has been accom- plished does not yet appear. But enough Ii known to warrant the Republicans in rejoic' ing over victory in New York and Indiana It looks now as if Connecticut had gone Dem ocratic by a small plurality. The returns thus far received show this. Later ones may alter the appearan and 1t is to be hoped that they will. Now 1t looks as if Cleveland would have plurality of from three to five hundred. The national situation is such that both parties can enjoy claiming victory unti it is definitely discovered where it hal perched, but the indications this morEinl favor the Republicans.
 Tke Republicans of Connecticut have much reason to be satisfied with what they have accomplished in State and Congression' al matters. MT. Bulkeley had a big vote and will be elected by the legislature, in which there is larger Republican majority thar usual. Some of the towns have not yei reported, but it is evident that the Repubi can majority will be not less than forty an6 may reach fifty. Two Republican congress men have been elected and possibly three The returns which we print on this page will well repay the study of those interested ir Connecticut politics.
