is NOT Rad FOR A STATE CLAIM.
I'D STRONGLY Br REPUBLICANS,
The State Committee Estimates the
Plurality at 1000.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. o.
At democratic headquarters to-day
kilograms have teen received from
all parts of the State. and all indi-
cate the same resuit---democra,ic
psins. The committee has been
busy al dav figuring on the returns,
and, using as a basis tn, returns
from twenty-five ont Of fifty-four
counties, have figured q probable
plurality OF 1000 for McCorkle,
democratic candidate for Governor
of the State. The plurality for the
Clevelord electors is estimated
about tho same. This is careful
ly prepared aud liberal estimate.
In this, Kanawha county, the re-
publicars elected their ticket, there
by gaining four members of the Le-
glslatere. 1t is now believed that
the democrats have elected four
Congressman. There are no re-
turns by which to estimate whe Their
the democrats or republicans will
have the Legislature. 1t will be
several days before the official re-
turns will be sent IN to Governor
Fleming, and until that time moth
ing official can be had.
y he official returns of Berkeley
county show the election of the
whole republican ticket, except in
the case of one or two magistrates
ard constables. Mr.. Harrison gets
126 majority over Mr.. Cleveland,
and Mr.. Wisner 1873 over Er. Will
son. Compared with the vote of
1883 the democrats have q clear gain
or forty-six in the county. Hon.
VIM. L.. Wilson is re elected to
Congress from this the second) dis
trict by upwards of one Thousand
majority. The democrats claim
the State for Cleveland and the
State ticket by 1000 to 5000 plu.
ralitv.
WHEELING, W. VA, Nov. o.
Enough returns are in to show q
democratic plurality Of 5000. The
News warrants larger figures.
CHALEsTowN, w. VA, Nov. 8.
-Unofficial returns received at
democratic headquarters from 81
counties of the State show a net
democratic gain over the vote in
the game counties for presidential
electors in J $50 of 3 .S36.
Should the democratic gain In
the remaining twenty counties Go
IL the same ratio, the democratic
gain in the State over 1883 would
be 3 0SI. Adding Cleveland's plu-
rality of 500 In 1883, this would
give West Virginia to the demo-
Gratis by 5,587
McCo kle will probably lead his
ticket 200 votes, and his majority
may reach 5,700. Tho democratic
State committee claims the election
of the entire democratic State tick
ct, by oyer 5000 plurality, with the
possible exception Of Holt for SUI
preme Judge, whose plurality may
be decreased somewhat by the peo-
Pies party vote, that may have
gone 10 Miller.
II lbOElb 1IOh VIC tilIu NOukTCb-
sionai district indicates Alderson's
election by over ], 100 plurality.
Wilson will have probably 1900
in the second district and Capehart
1850 in the fourth.
Our reports from the first dis
trict srs mesgre, but indicate Pen
de on's election by q safe major
ity.
TIE democrats carry nine Of tho
thirteen senatorial Districts.
The republicans carry two, while
the two remaining districts, second
ard fifth, are close, with the proba-
bIities IN favor Of the democratic
candidates in both districts.
The next State Senate viii stand
Democrats, 90; republicans, 4,
with two districts to hear from.
We claim the election Of as dem.
ocrats 10 tn House and conCedt
the election Of 90 republicans, Civ
ing tho democrats a majority Of Is
in that body and from SO to 81 OF
Joint ballot.
