All hope Of the election of Harrison
and Reid vanished when it became
positively known that Illinois and In
diana had followed New York into the
Democratic column. The victory Of
the Cleveland free trade party is there
fore complete after campaign remark
able for the evasion of the main
issues and the deceptive prac-
tices by that party. The calamity
howl, the "force" bill bugaboo and
other cries raised to frighten the voters
of the country and detract them from
the living issues OF the canvass, on
which the Democracy could not win,
have had the desired effect, and by a
heavy vote the country has called
Grover Cleveland to the presidency,
defeating the man who stood for
American interests against the world.
The latest reports show that Cleve-
land will have not less than 256 votes
in the electoral college, that the Demo
Gratis will. have majority Of sixty or
seventy in the next congress, and
that the United States senate will be
Democratic. Thus, for the first time
for more than thirty years the
Democratic party will have complete
control OF the government in both
its legislative and executive branches.
They have now an opportunity to carry
out the policy of free trade toward
which they have steadily drifted and to
which they are pledged in their plat
form.
The sensational feature of this
mornings news is that Ohio is
thought to have gone Democratic.
The returns show that there
was an average Republican loss of 800
per county. There is still show, but
at the hour OF going to press it seem,
that the state is gone.
The dispatches which follow tell the
story OF the victory:

In Possession of HuntinEton-Repubi
Assaulted and Beaten.
Special DipG'ch tOhe Mtelligenccr.
HuNrINGroN, W. Va, Nov. 0.-This
city has been in the hands OF a drunken
Democratic mob all day. Dozens Of
Republicans, colored and white, have
been brutally beaten, often without the
slightest provocation, among others
George A. Bloding, one OF the wealth
lest and most prominent citizens, was
stopped while walking quietly on the
street and shamefully insulted and his
life threatened. One man was dragged
from his dray and beaten, while the
Democratic police quietly turned their
backs and walked away. One white
man was knocked through glass door
into hallway and pounded for five
minutes until he was apparently dead,
because he would not approve their
yells for JEFF Davis and the southern
confederacy.
A prominent Democratic officeholder
pulled club from his sleeve and
knocked a negro down and struck him
several times after he was down. One
coiored man was pounded over the
head till he fell, when the police came
along and dragged HIM to the calaboose.
Nothing 90 disgraceful as this desperate
mob has ever been known in the his
tory OF the city. Respectable Demo-
crats denounce it as openly as they
dare to. The officers seem either afraid
or unwilling to arrest the offenders.
Scores OF brutal and unprovoked assaults
have been made, and it seems their
purpose is to teach Republicans that
they must not presume to exercise their
political privileges here. If this keeps
up much longer Republicans propose to
organize for defense. and will make n
dangerous resistance. Vote not all in.

Enough has been received to know that
the entire Democratic ticket has been

there will be reduced to about seventy

The returns from the election come in

nothing like an accurate report can be
given. The votes cast in Magnolia,
Green, Proctor and Clay districts are

OF the total result in Wetzel county:
Cleveland, $50 plurality; MacCorkle,
$50 plurality; Pendleton, 475 majority.
Thomas Stone, the candidate for Con-
gress in this congressional district for
the Peoples party, will get 400 votes in
this county. One hundred OF these
will be, drawn from the Republican
party and 800 from the Democratic
party. This will lessen Pendleton's
vote and majority in this county to

less. My reasons for this opinion are

What the Democratic state Committee
says-socrctnry ohIey's Estimate.
Special Dispatch to The lnelliCHccr.
CHARLEsroS, W. Va, Nov. 9.-Unof-
fetal returns received at Democratic
headquarters from "a counties of the
state show net Democratic gain over
the vote in the same counties for presi-
Dental electors in 1888 of 1886. Should
the Democratic gain in the remaining
20 counties be in the same ratio, the
net Democratic gain in the state over
the vote OF 1855 would be 5,0Sl.
Adding Cleveland's plurality OF
SOC in 1883 to this it would
give West Virginia to the Democrats by
5,5S7. MacCorkle will probably lead
his ticket 200 votes and his majority
may reach 800. The Democratic state
committee claims the election OF the
entire Democratic state ticket by over
5000 plurality, with The possible e1-
ception OF Holt for supreme judge,
whose plurality may be decreased some
wh,as by the Peoples party vote that
may have gone to Miller. Reports from
the Third congressional district indicate
Alderson's election by over 1,l00
plurality. Wilson will have probably
i,S0O in the Second district and Cape
hart 1850 in the Fourth.
The Democrats carry nine Of the
thirteen senatorial districts. The Re-
publicans carry two, while the two re-
naming districts, tho Second and Fifth,
are close with the probabilities in favor
OF the Democratic candidates in both
districts. The next state senate will
therefore stand, Democrats, 20; Repub-
licans, 4, with two districts to hear
from. I'VE claim the election OF 45
Democrats to the house. and concede
the election of 20 Republicans, giving
the Democrats majority Of 10 in that
body and from SO TO 81 on joint ballot.

Secretary Democratic State Committee.

places in Proctor he received 5s votes.
He said to be stronger in portions OF
the county not yet heard from.
Smiths vote over Burgess, so far as
heard, is 1856 majority, with Grant, Cen
tire and Church districts to hear from.
Burgess will carry Grant district, Smith
will carry Church, and Centre will
probably be a stand off between them.
Smith will not leave Wetzel county
with more than 250 majority, while
Burgess will meet him with at least 800
majority in Tyler county. This will
insure the election OF Burgess.
Furbee, for state senator, ran II
ahead OF his ticket at Wetzel Q. II. vot-
ing place and has made small gains ut
all the other voting places heard from
in this county.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC
For tho First rimo in a Presidential Year.
A Startling Report

CoLuMRus, o., Nov 9.-The indica-
tions at 10 o'clock tonight are that
Ohio has gone Democratic for the first
time in presidential year. though it
may require the official count to deter
mine the result
Chairman Farley, OF the Democratic
state committee, went home early this
morning safe in the belief that the Re-
publicans had substantial plurality in
the state, but his secretary and W. A.
Taylor, candidate for secretary Of. state,
remained at headquarters and ct 10
o'clock tonight they had received un-
official returns from all but four coun-
ties in the state. on which they claim Q
plurality for the candidates ON the
Democratic ticket Of 800, and that tho
Cleveland electors have been chosen BY
possibly slightly reduced majority.
The two committees changed figures
at the above hour and there were no
startling variations in the returns re-
ceived.
1.-THE Republican headquarters, with
Chairman Dick and Candidate s. II.
Taylor for secretary Of state present,
they had received unofficial returns
from all but four counties. Thereturns

will require the official count TO deter
mine the matter. Mr.. Taylor, (Rep.)
states that he noted in the returns re-
ceived that he ran about even with the
Harrison electors, hence 1t is concluded
il the Republican state ticket is do
feated, that the Cleveland electors will
be chosen.

Result of the GubernatorIai Fight in
Doubt-UsunI Majority for Cleveland.
GALVESTON, TEX, Nov o.-Returns for
the state come in slowly. At midnight
it looked as though CLARK would secure
the election for governor, but later re-
ports are constantly shifting, and no
adequate estimate of the result can be
made at present. The race for governor
appears more com mplicated. Nugent,
Populist, poiled a surprisingly large
vote. Hogg gets north and west Texas,
Clark gets the south and east, and
Nugent the central portion Of the state.
The usual Democratic majority will
be given the national ticket. Returns
from the Tenth district indicate the
election OF Gresham, Democrat, for Con-
gresa, by small majority.

DAVE HILL TALKS.
He Thinks It tho BoElnuing of Demo-
cratic Millennium.


ALBANY, n. y, Nov. O.-United States
Senator David B. Hill was waited upon
bya reporter of the Associated Press
this evening and asked to give his
opinion on the results Of the general
election held yesterday. Senator Hill
said:
81 am reluctant to be interviewed for
two reasons.
First ever since tho Chicago con-
vention l have adhered to the rule TO
contine my political utteranees to my
public speeches. a few bogus inter
views have appeared, however, to
which have paid no attention, not
caring to dignity them with denial.
Second, after successful election it
seems to be tho fashion for everybody
to rush into print and claim some share
OF the credit for the victory. 1t was so
in 1890 when we swept the country,
and it will probably be so now. pre-
fer not to indulge in any such unseemly
scramble where those who do the least
valuable work before an election us
ually shout the lnudest afterwards. New
ertheless, l am willing to say few
words in regard to the great victory lest
my silence be misconstrued.
ibid the result please you, senator r.
asked the reporter.
every good Democrat will heartily
rejoice over the return of the Demo-
cratic party to power in the nation" he
replied. ~.

and gratifying. 1t is not only, per-
sonaI triumph OF ex-President Glove.
land and just tribute to him, but it is
a yindication of the Democratic prin-
ciples which he championed. The peo-
pie wore opposed to force bill and de-
sired tariff reform, and upon those two
issues we have won the victory. I'm
questionably the federal election
issue kept several southern states
with us which might otherwise
have gone for the third party. trust
that our victory will carry with 1t the
control OF the United States senate,
which will enable us to place Demo-
cratic legislation upon the federal stat
ute books. We will then cease to be a
mere opposition party, aud can secure
the remedial legislation which the peo-
pie demand, and that opportunity will
build up the Democratic party and
make 1t strong.

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1892-11-10

The result of the election in West
Virginia is no less surprising and dis
appointing than the result Of the ma
tional election. An accurate poll OF the
state shows Republican plurality OF
$500, notwithstanding which the re-
turns from Tuesdays election indicate
that the Democracy has carried its ma
tional and state tickets through by
from 1900 to 1900 plurality. The re-
turns are still meagre, and full report
can not be given for some days, but
enough is known to make sure that
West Virginia is still in the solid
south.
Though surprising, the result is
easily accounted for in the returns from
some Republican counties and districts
where the normal maiorities were not
polled. The expected gains were made
in Democratic counties, but Repub.
licans did not show their strength
where they possessed it itnaturally.
Democratic gains in Republican
strongholds and Republican gains in
Democratic strongholds show up in the
returns, but they did not balance, and
although there is a legitimate Repub-
lican majority in tho state the Demo-
Gratis are victorious. Democratic fraud,
Doodle, intimidation and colonization
contributed their share TO the result
The Republicans have made gains in
the legislature and elected one Congress-
man, Captain Dovener, in the First
district

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The returns of the
American elections we're received here
this forenoon too late for the papers to
comment on the result.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes briof
note this afternoon, saying that both
the merchants and the unemployed
workingmen OF England have reason
to rejoice at the Democratic victory, as
with the possibility Of the reopening
OF the American markets to the goods
OF Birmingham, Bradford and Man
chester, capitalists will get a chance to
procure some return on their money
invested, and the workingmen will
have an opportunity to get decent
price for their labor without the neces-
sity OF striking.
The 81. James Gazette says that some
satisfaction is felt in England at Mr..
Cleveland. going back to the white
house. The Blaine-Harrison regime, it
adds. has been far from agreeable to
British interests, and a majority Of the
American people believe that it has
been equally prcjudicial to themselves.
