show Democratic Gains.
Wellsburg, w. Va, November
8.-The first and Third Wards
show a net gain over Dovener OF
eighty-two.
Sistersville, w. Va, November 8.
The vote here will be about two
thirds of what it was in 1896. The
republicans will get the State SEN
ator sure, and Dovenor will prob
ably have majority. The vote on
delegate is hard to conjecture.
Hill will go out Of Sistersville with
a large majority, but hardly enough
ITO overcome the immense repub-
lican vote tn the interior of the
county.
Clarksburg, w. Va, Novumber
Sat nine o'clock no returns are
in from the county districts, nor is
the vote in this county yet counted.
There is sufficient to show that
John D. Davis, (Dem.), is elected 70
the Legislature. He carried Clarks-
burg by 100 votes, while the ma
jority of the republicans, except
Lowndes, will average about $50.
Davis ran $50 ahead of his ticket
here.

70 short Of 1896 Seventy.fve

Sturm I25. For commissioner,
Dunlevy has 1903, Davis Io7, a DEM
ocratic gain of 73.
Middlebourne, w. Va, Nov. 8.
Returns from nearly every pre-
cinct in the county, upon which
vote of missing precincts is esti-
mated, indicate that Dovenor will
carry Tyler county by $50. He
carried it two years ago by 642, a
republican loss of nearly 500 votes.
Indications also point to the elec.
tion OF Louis B. Hill, democrat, for
house of delegates, although the re-
suit is in doubt. For commissioner,
Riggs, democrat, Is elected beyond
a doubt.
