Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1894-10-01

Five Of the eleven candidates uOmi-
mated by the Democrats have served 10
Congress. These are Layton, Richie,
Cultivate, Richards and johnson. OF
the nineteen candidates already noml-
mated by the Republicans eight have
had experience in Congress. These are
Hulick, Wilson, StroDg, Grosvenor,
Van Voorhis, DanfOrd, NOrthway and
Burton.
Paul ]. Sorg, the present Congress
man fro the third district, serving
the unexDlred term Of George w. HOuk,
deceased, has been nominated by
the Democrats afOr reelection. The
Repu bncans will hardly make
nomination against him. He Is very
strong in the district and cannot be
beaten. The other districts that the
Democrats feel reasonably certain Of
carving are the Fourth, where f G.
Layton is their candidate; the Fifth,
where John ;. Shook is their candidate;
the Twelfth, where j. II Outhwaits is
she nominee; the Thirteeuth, where
Boston G.. Young is the nominee, and
the Seventeenth, J. A. ID. Richards the
candidate. The gerrymander was made
by the Republicans with view 10 max
-frfZ-&shese districJs--aud these only
certain Democratic, though two years
ago ths Democrats carried, upon the
same gerrymander, eleven Of the twen-
ty-ope districts. Its probable also that
Congressman Tom l. Johnson will be
elected 10 the TwentY-6rst district in
spite OF the opposition OF the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, whose owner is in favor
of protection and the unlimited coinage
OF silver.
w. ID. pavis, the Republican candi-
date in the Fourth district, claims 20
believe thst he will defeat Layton, aud
Is WORKING 20 accomplish 10 as though
be really thought II could be done. For
the first time il many years the Repub-
licans are making Sight with some
homo of carrying this, the capital dis
trict. Congressman Outwaite finds, for
the irst tine In his long Congressional
experience, that a fzht is necessary 10
hold his seat in Congress, Ire is max
ing a telling campaign, and there Is
every reason 10 believe that he will be
returned, thOagh bY q reduced plurality.
On last fall'S vote for Governor ,the R.
publicaus carried the district. it nom
inally gives a Democratic plurality OF
about 5000. His opponent isl ID. X.
Watson, ex-Attorney General OF the
State. lie is a man Of fair ability and
quite skillful 10 politics.
The failure OF the Republicans OF the
First district (CinCin0ati) 10 dominate
Bellamo StoreT for another term In
Congress was the political surprise OF
the week 10 Ohio. Following the pubsi-
cation of the likely story tpat Storer
was the choice Of George Bl Cox, the
Republican boss OF CnCi Ciulnau, Tor
United States Senator 20 succeed Brice,
the deli iberate,turnin down cf StOrer by
Cox came like q shock. TIE uomina-
tiou OF Charles p. Taft, of he Times
Star, 10 his place, shows that it was
accomplished by 4 deal Of some kind
between the sherman apd Foraker
managers Cox has com vlete control
OF ell the Republican EhScntnery In
Cincinnati. lie is a Fora sker Repuoli-
han, while Taft is one Of She most radi-
Dtal Sherman faction men. The move
ment promises no advantage to the
Democrats In the Congressional cleo
tions therefore. Taft fand Bromwell
are certain 70 be elected.
The nomNatio OF n. ). ROtf by the
Democrats \ the Eighteenth district
,,recludes an possibility OF throwing
tbs snnport oi the Democrats there TO
Coxev. the cOmmOnwealer, who is the
Ponulist caudid idate FOR Congress there,
80 also takes away all chance OF COxey
letting into Congress. The PopOliSts
rvil no donbt have an enormous vote in
-, S..ta bna IL will Do so scattered
tbat they viii not be able to elect 10
snv case-ceItsinly not in the case OF
n Congressm&n.
