SENATOR HILL BEATEN In NEW YORK
STATE

Slide IL rs not so Bad as the One of
1892 And Nothing to Compare
With the Democratic Victory of
1S06---Democrats are Collecting
their Wits and Arranging to Gather
in the Country.
There was slump, and that
slump makes a reversal of popu-
lar phrase. The reversal reads, "Ev-
erything has gone Republican.
First and foremost, Monongalia
did what the politicians of the win
ming side said she would do, name
ly, give A.G. Dayton over a thousand
majority. Next, the Second Congress
sional district did what the politi
clans of the winning side said she
would do, namely, elect A. G.. Day
ton to Congress. These things were
both done.
MoNoEGALIA's BIG MAJORITY.
The entire vote Of the county had
not been received at the time this
paper went to press, but special mes
sengers, the telephone and the tele-
graph have brought in the majori-
ties in each district. In Morgan
district there were four voting pre-.
cincts, which combined give Re
publican majority of 1886. The vote
was the largest that was ever given
in the district.
Clinton gave the next highest ma
jority for Dayton over Wilson, be
ing 2l7. Clay was next. Her Re
publican majority foots up 202

sioner and Waters for county Su-
pefintendent all get there, by major
tiles running along closely to the
1,044 notch made by Dayton's fol
lowers.
MARION COUNTY REPUBLICAN,.
The tull vote of Marion county is
in, and it is contrary to Democratic
expectations, as is most everything
else this time 1t gives Dayton a
majority of 1888 and elects the en-.
tire County ticket, including two
members of the legislature
AT noon Wednesday a telegram
was received from Mr.. McGraw,
Chairman of the Democratic Con
gressional Committee, saying that
the election of Dayton will be by a
majority of from 1000 to 5000, an
accurate estimate being impossible
at that time, but enough information
being available to show thu Mr..
Wilson is defeated by an enormous
majority.
In all the counties heard from
there was. as in Monongalia, large
ly increased vote everywhere, and in
almost all of them there were Repub-
lican gains.
RESULT IN THE STATE
OF the four Congressman to be
elected in the state, all of whom are
now Democrats, it is certain that
three of them will be Republicans,
and probably Harvey, Democratic
candidate in the Fourth district, will
be defeated. In fact Harvey's cleo
ton is not vigorously claimed now.
LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN.
The Legislature will be Republi-
can on joint ballot sure, and will Sc
lect u. 5. Senator to succeed j. n.
Camden, present Senator. Stephen
B. Elkins will in all probability be
the next Senator.
The State Senate will probably be
a tie, there being at present ten hold
over Democrats, and the holdover
Republicans added to the newly cleo
ted ones will make their number 10,
there being 26 all told In the coun-
ties it is estimated that the Repub-
licans have elected over 40 mem bers,
which will give them good working
majority on joint ballot.
In West Virginia Democracy is
temporarily showed under. Long
live West Virginia Democracy, and
may it grow!
THE NATIONAL RESULT.
From present indications the Dem
ocratic majority in the House of Rep
resentatives is wiped out-or so near
ly extinguished that the parties will
be nearly equally divided.
The Republicans claim 1873 Repre-
sentatives, which would give them a
working majority But it is too soon
to make positive statement of the
strength of the two parties in the
House. There is at least chance
that the Democrats will hold the
House, and of course the Senate will
continue to be Democratic, at least
for one session more.
The most that can be said is that
the general drift of the elections
throughout the country was the
same. Wherever the Democratic
margins In Congress Districts were
small they were wiped out by the in
creased Republican vote.
The greatest Democratic loss was
in New York, where the fight against
Tammany affected not only the mu
nicipal ticket, but the State and Con
gressional tickets as we'll 1t is es-
timated that Hill is showed under to
the tune of ,000-while the anti
Tammany mayor and entire ticket
were elected by large majorities-
results which the Democracy at
large do not much deplore except as
they indirectly affect the national
organization. 1t may be said that
upon New York depends the stand
lug of the next House of Represen- (
tatives.
Thank heaven, among other things
