THE WEST VIRGINIA CONTEST.
The Republican Gubernatorial Candi.
date has Plurality.

To-day the Legislative committee in the mat
ter of the gubernatorial contest in West vir-
ginia will finish reading the dispositions from
all the counties except two. The stories about
the colonization Of voters have not been sus-
tanned, and prove to be the fruit Of imaginative
newspaper correspondents and politicians, Is
the committee has no evidence Of such fraud
and it is not known that any has been offered.
Gen. COTS plurality 30 far as the investigation
has gone, has not been wiped out, and with the
two counties yet to be read, he still has the i'd
vantage Of about fifty votes, his original plu-
rality having been lilo. Scarcely an intention
ally dishonest vote upon either side has been
discovered and the illegal ones will not average
six to county. The resu Of the investigation
and the examination of several thousand depo-
sltions show that to all inteuts and purposes
the voting was fair and honest. This has no
reference whatever to the allegations OF frauds
on the part Of returning boards after the votes
were cast, and which only affected the election
for Congressman. Il is upon these allegations
that the three contestants for seats in Congress
base their claims. The legislative committee
has not gone into this matter.
WHAT GEN. aoFY SAYS ABOUT TIE NEW STATES.
Gen. Nathan GOT. who has been making cam
paign speeches in the four new western states,
has returned to West Virginia, ana gives an en-
couraging report Of the outlook. He says the
republicans will carry every one Of them BY
big majorities. and the democrats have no idea
OF carrying any Of them except Montana, and
in this they will be mistaken.
with reference TO the gubernatoria contest
In West Virginia, Gen. Golf said Gov Wilson's
charges that Gof and Elkins had imported
1000 colored men into the state at the last cleo
ton is too silly to call for denial. OF the
votes contested BY Judge Fleming. less than
one-tenth have been shown to be illegal on in
vestlgation by the legislative committee, and
those only on the aimsiest technicalitie.
