The story is a simple one-tbe
Democrats didn't get enough votes.
While the returns from all over the
country are in, and it is known how
the states went, the exact figures
cannot be given as yet. 1t is sufli-
cient to Mckinley is elected
and he has nailed to the government
flag staff the National flag, emblaz-
oned with the words, "For National
Honor" A sufficient number Of
states have declared for him to make
certain that he will get 276 votes in
the electoral college. The returns
show some interesting features, and
in some respects surprising 70 both
parties. While chairman Hanna and
Jones were making, as the people
supposed, exaggerated statements as
to their majorities, yet neither sup
posed the vote would yindicate their
claims; but the claims made by Han
ma were far nearer being realized
than those OF Jones.
Pennsylvania and New York We'd
with each other for the largest plu-
ralities. They gave respectively 1885,
600 and 100000 maiorities, and in
the latter Black was !ected Cover
nor by $4,000 more the presi-
Dental vote.
In Kentucky the state goes for
Mckinley ana a Republican Leeis-
lature elected 20 elect a successor to
Senator Blackburn. Tennessee was
at first thought to be in the Repub-
lican column, but the Democratic
plurality viii be 5000 and the cleo
toral vote of that state goes to
Bryan.
Ohio gives her favorite son over
$4,000, and before all the vote
has come in or corrected. Republic
cans claim they will double the ma
jority given for Garfield which was
the greatest majority ever given in
the state.
Oregon viii go for Mckinley by
over 5000 plurality. Bryan will
carry Montana by about $4,000. We
have placed Nebraska in the Bryan
column, but it is doubtful. New
Jersey is proud to give a majority
for her sons running mate of 10000,
and California swells the popular
vote over 5000.
In Virginia while the state is lost
to Mckinley, yet several Congress
men are elected, notably that of ia
cob Yost. Republican, over Harry
Flood by 100 majority.
North Dakota swings into line BY
nearly 5000 for Mckinley. And
when the total line is formed, added
to the above named will be lows,
Minnesota, Connecticut, Delaware,
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine,

Proudest of all are we of the vote
in West Virginia. It's plurality will
be 5000 for sound money, and all
four of the Republican Congressman
are elected. There was heavy Re-
publican gain IN the western part of
the state generally, while the gain in
the eastern part was confined to sew
eral counties.

thing over 10000, and that of Day.

the same as that by which he defeat

Judge Faulkner is re elected, many
persons outside of the Democratic
party voting for him on non -politi.
cal grounds.
So far as Berkeley county is con-
cerned Republicans have achieved
the greatest victory ever known in
the history of the party.
q. S. G. Pitzer leads the ticket
with majority OF 558 over johnson,
who was chairman of the Democratic
County Executive Committee. Nc
Kinley's majority in the county is
4l2. 1t was gallant and glorious
fight from beginning to end, and the
the entire Republican ticket goes
through with majorities ranging from
255 to 588, with but one exception
that of l. L. Bender, who defeats G.
W. North for County Clerk by 1874.
This was the hardest fight of the
county, and even many Republicans
conceded the election of North.
In view of this fact, although with
small majority, Bender's victory is
equally as great as any other person
on the ticket. Notwithstanding the
ludicrous placing of free silver can
didates on sound money ticket, and
by which movement it was expected
to carry through the Democratic
nominees with a handsome majority,
the people rebuked the self.appoint-
ed action of the free silver men by
rolling up big majorities against
them. Many gold Democrats instead
of endorsing such a scheme simply
voted the straight Republican ticket
and showed the schemers what such
low down politics meant.
Dayton defeated Brown, whose
money was poured into the district,
by 800 in this county. Atkinson's
majority over Watts was 41S, and
Shaffer, the free silver champion of
the district, went under in Berkeley
county by 443. His election even
with that enormous Democratic ma
jority OF Jefferson, is in doubt. Later
returns seem to indicate that Shaffer
will have small msjority, and it
will require an official count to de-
eide who is elected. Nicely receiv-
ed 483 majority for Assessor. Four
years ago he led his ticket for
the same position. Gerbardt re-
ceived 346 majority over Colston.
He had hard fight, but got his
man.
Berkeley county bas spoken in
tones that cannot be mistaken and
shows that her citizens, irrespective
Of party, believe in keeping this
country free from the faint of re
pudiation, and national dishonor.
