Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-11-06

The election was the topic of CONVEX
sation Wednesday and yesterday. 1t
has been found that over hundred
voters who put an Y mark on the left
OF the name OF the candidate for Gov
ernor lost a vote for the rest of the
nominees on the ticket. A good many
voters did not appear to understand
that the Y mark had to go to the left OF
the name Of the ticket. This mistake
did not interfere with full vote for
Governor, but pulled down the total
vote for the candidates lower down on
the ticket. The Democrats are not feel
ing very bad over the result. All OF
them wished TO see Campbell elected,
and while they hoped for the best
the party as whole was fearful OF the
result. The election of Major Mckin-
ley cannot be called much Of a victory.
If the Republicans had had less OF
plurality than the returns now show 1t
would be evidence that Mckinley did
not poll the full strength OF his party.
The returns from New York and Mas
eachusetts and other States where
Democratic victories were won, suffices
to stimulate the Democracy. The only
individuals who are dissatisfied with
the result are the boys who miscal-
culated the returns to such an extent as
to drop their good money in bets.
