the sixteenth district F. d. Downing,

five precincts in this district are miss

Not q Plank to Stand On In West Virginia.
WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. s.-The
democrats haven't saved a plank from
the wreck in West Virginia. Returns
compiled from nonpartisan sources
show that the state senate will be a
tie and the republicans will have a
majority of 10 in the mex house of del
egates, making possible the passage of
bills redistricting the state so that the
democrats will not gain the ascend
ency for years. These returns are Off
cial with one or two exceptions, and a
republican senator will certainly sue
coed Senator Camden.
