Cong.rr..tuIations.

Congratulations.
Wheeling Register.
! 1t is most happy solution of a
most complicated situation.
Senator Kenna is to be congratu
lated on the remarkable fight he has
made.
He has wrested success from the
very jaws of defeat
Another day would have seen the
defeat of him and the party.
The Democracy is to be congrat-
ulated more than any individual, for
it is a great victory for the party
and a vindication of party harmony
and discipline.
The Republican leaders deserve
the sincere condolences of everybody,
for they are sin the soup." They
confidently counted on seating a
Republican in the United States
Senate, and they would surely have
done SO had the Democrats been
less loyal to their party and the peo-
pie.
Dir. Dorr is to be congratulated
on the thoroughness of his Demo-
cracy as exhibited in his determin-
alton not to stand in the way of his
party's success, though he did vio-
lence to personal preference. Mr..
Dorr has shown himself true blue
Democrat in sacrificing his own
strong desires to the will of the par
ty. He stood out very nearly to
the last against the greatest pressure
and the sharpest criticism, but when
the time came for him to choose self
and party his vote was for his par
ty.
Mr.. Harr, likewise, is to be con
graduated His first duty was to
the Labor party, and he discharged
it faithfully. While there was the
faintest chance of electing the Labor
party candidate his vote was cast
for that candidate. But when it be-
came certain that he could not be
elected Mr.. Harr stood faithfully by
the candidate of the party to which
he next owes allegiance.
The faithful Democrats who stood
by the party nominee in the dark
est hour, when defeat stared them
in the face, are especially worthy of
heartfelt congratulations. They
are all Democrats from the ground
up-Democrats to be trusted to the
last notch and depended upon never
to surrender.
The Democracy at large are to be
congratulated upon the preservation
intact of the party organization,
which had we'll nigh gone to pieces.
The people of the State of all par
ties are to be congratulated upon
the simplification of affairs at
Charleston.
The principle bone of contention
is out of the way and the guberna-
torial contest can now go on, with
out interference, as provided by law,
and the man who is found to have
been chosen Governor of this State
by majority of the honest voters
will be seated 1t is not likely that
President Harrison will go SO far on
the line of partisanship as to recog-
nize Golf as Governor while this
lawful contest is going on. 1t is not
likely that be will fly in the faco of
the spirit of the United States con-
stitution and arbitrarily interfere in
the government of sovereign
American State upon the mere, un-
supported demand of politician,
whose only pretended claim to the
recognition of the President is that
he belongs to the Presidents politi-
cal party.
The sky has been wonderfully
cleared by the splendid action of the
Democrats at the last moment. 1t
is the climax to the defeat admins
tered the Republican party at the
polls last November.
Everybody is to be congratulated.
1t means Democratic success in the
future.
THE COURTS TO DECIDE.
Conference Between Gen. Golf
and Gov. WilsOn-CGOH Will
Not Appeal 10 Harrison.
