1t seems probable that the election Of
a Democratic senator in Congress from
West Virginia will turn upon the ques-
ton of the eligibility Of two Republican
"hold-over" senator's who are officers in
the army. In the districts represented
by them-the Ninth and Tenth-the Dem
ocrats nominated candidates and elected
them, while the Republicans made no
nominations. Ex-Judge Brannon, one Of
the ablest lawyers in the State, has been
interviewed by the Wheeling Register,
and quotes the authorities on the subject
as follows:
'"rhe thirteenth section of Article VI
of our State Constitution provides as fol-
lows: No person holding lucrative Of
fee under this State, the United States,
or a foreign government, shall be
eligible to a seat in the Legislature The
words eligible and seat are both en-
ployed Both words being employed, we
can see plainly the word eligible would
certainly apply 10 a candidate who might
or not be eligible, but II must be observed
the word seat IS also employed. If, in
deed the question under the quoted lam
guage of our Constitution should be
strange construction of the provisions of
our State Constitution that, in the in
stance of the election of an eligible per-
son. such person could accept an Office
under our State or the United States and
continue to be Senator. and resume his
seat as a member of the Senate.

provides that no person holding office
under the United States shall be a men,
Der Of eCongress) either house This Ian
guage makes the word member In ef-
feet the same as the word seat In our
State Constitution, and under the Federal

RALEIGH, n. c., November 30-(Spe-
cial)-Governor Russell said this evening
that as so many applications are made
to him to use his influence to obtain dis
charges for enlisted men Of the First
North Carolina Regiment, and that as
about % per cent. of the men desire dis
charges he had decided 10 use his good
Offices to induce the War Department 10
grant them. and also allow the regiment
to recruit TO the full strength. He will,
therefore, go to Washington next Satur-
day TO attend to this matter, and also
TO endeavor to secure repayment of
North Cardinals military claims.

The legislative Ticket.

The question as TO who shall he
elected at Harrisburg this winter to
represent Pennsylvania in the United
states senate to succeed NJ. S. quay
enters into the legislative fight to this
extent; If by reason of Republican
detection to third party nominees the
Democrats secure q majority ON joint
ballot, Quay's successor will be a free
silver Democrat. Eut if safe Repub-
llcan majority is elected tomorrow, the
decision will still be open between
quay and some other Republican.
Those Republicans who oppose Quay
can hardly want free silver Demo-
Crat to represent Pennsylvania in the
senate. That would be q most humil-
iatlng spectacle. Think of the posi-
bility! Two years ago Pennsylvania
gave 100000 majority for Mckinley,
Protection and Sound Money. To turn
over in that brief time anG send a
free silverite to Washington would be
not only to shame the state: it would
inevitably revive the silver movement
into dangerous vitality and leopard
most unnecessarily the presidential
election in 1900. IT Pennsylvania, the
back bone of Republicanism, could
thus reverse itself, upOn what states
could the Republican party depend?
TIE only way to avert this misfor-
tune is to eject the Republican legs-
lativc nominees. Make certain tomor-
row, that TIE next legislature will be
Republican on Joint ballot. and the
name OF its choice for senator can be
determined aftcrward. Lackawanna
county. which gave Mckinley 1000
plurality. ought not to give any votes
at Harrisburg to a free silver Demo-
Crat for United States senator.

A Confession of Defeat.

The Philadelphia Press yesterday
printed Il poll of the state which gave
stone 1880 plurality over jerks It's
estimate allows Stone 396,100, jerks
@S1,3S0 and DR.. Swallow 190,975 votes
lnasmuch as the Press is the chief or
gan of the Republican element which
is opposing Stone in this election its
admission that he is likely to win is
significant. Senator Kaufman, Wana-
makers right hand man, goes further
than the Press He estimates that
Stone will have $4,000 plurality.
The Press in it's table of county plur-
alities makes some estimates which are
notoriously doctored. For example, it
gives stone only 5000 plurality over
jerks in Allegheny. Everybody con-
versant with the situation in ALLIE
gheny, stones home county, knows
that his plurality is reasonably GER
tain not to fall below 10000 and may
go to 10000. At any event 5000 must
here be added 10 the Press estimate of
stones vote in the state. Similarly in
Philadelphia the vote given to Stone
is absurdlY low. The Press allows
Stone only 10000 plurality when it
knows that he is absolutely certain of
10000 and will be disappointed if he
does not get 10000, The Press esti-
mate of the Lackawanna vote is that
stone and Swallow will each have 5000
with $500 for jerks. Here the Swal-
low strength is put at The maximum
claim of the Swallow leaders; but -
swallow gets 5000 votes in this county
he will do far more than any practical
observer now expects, The difference
bctwcer 5000 and G,O00 should be given
10 Stone, who as the situation stands
today ought to have little difficulty in
carrying Lackawanna by 1000 plural
ity at the very lowest.
Tho Press table is full Of similar in
accuracies. For example, Luzcrnc is
given to jerks by 2,iO0 and Schuylkill
TO jerks by 5000, when it is patent to
everybody in these parts that Stone is
going to carry Luzerne and break al
most even in Schulykill. Again, the
Press gives Chester county to Swallow
i'm Chester practically cOncede it to
stone. Its estimate that Stone will get
but $500 votes in Blair against 4,7OO
for jerks and $500 for Swallow is
manifestly absurd III view of the fact
that last year, when Swallow carried
Blair Beacon, Rep, had a lead of
nearly 1900 over Brown, Dem, and
Stone is fully as strong today as Bea-
com was then, if not stronger.
Reading between the lines of the
Press table it is evident that the Wan
amaker people recognize the futility
of their attempt to destroy the Repub-
lican party's ascendency in Pennsyl-
Vania and expect to see stone and the
whole Republican ticket elected by
pluralities little if any smaller than
those of one year ago.

him. II Is on off year. Republicans
were apathetic, the people were angry
over alleged mismanagement I'm the
war department and disposed to sulk,
ana many OF the more prominent Mug
wumps, Jealous of Roosevelt's popular
ity, nominated a ticket against him;
yet Roosevelt plunged into the canvass
ana by sheer force Of will and power
full personality has aroused the whole
country by his wonderful fght.
The odds apparently are against
him. Not counting the abnormal elec-
tlons OF 1894 and 1896, New York state
III the past fourteen years OF state
elections has been Democratic by 10000
ON the average; even in presidential
years IT has been carried an equal
number of times by each party, This
year, too, in addition TO the powerful
opposition o. Tammany, Roosevelt Is
confronted by a scandal in the man
agemcnt of the Carals which gives
tr"acherous Republicans an excuse to
make deals with Croker and timid
ones q chance to go into hiding. lie
has had to make bis campaign almost
alone; the loyalty OF the Republican
organization to him has been question
ed and 1t does not seem to be doing
a great deal to Checkmatc Tammany.
Yet in spite of all these obstacles and
cmbarrassments the conviction is
growing that Roosevelt is to be elected
tomorrow by virtue of an uprising of
honorable and decent men without re-
gard to politics.
1t should be so.

Roosevelt's Chances.

The most interesting political battle
of recent years will come to an end
in New York state today and ,he re-
suit be known probably by s o'clock
tomorrow evening. 1t is u fight very
largely of organization against sentl-
mcnt and of money against principle,
and its outcome is bound 10 exercise
an important influence upon the future
of American politics for many years
to come.
Theodore Roosevelt, representing
absolute honesty ana fedrlcssress in
public life, was nominated ON the Re-
publican ticket for governor of New
York against the opposition Of the
present state administration and
without sincere support by the party
organization, He has against him not
only the open antugonlsm of Tam
many, now in undisputed control of
Greater New York with unlimited
campaign money and almost unlimited
power To corrupt election boards and
falsify returns but also the secret
opposition OF large interests which
recognize that they could not handle"

dition In It's history. The voters thought
that they would like "a 'change" and
they brought one about by the election OF
Democratic congress and president.
Thcy have not yet ceased to repent that
change The business losses that fol-
lowed were in the aggregate greater than
the cost of the civil war over 2,OOo,00O
workmen were thrown out of employ
ment prices declined, wages were re-
Guccd and the government had to borrow
money at excessive rates OF interest to
pay current expenses.

Under Republican rule all that has
changed The rising sun of prosperity

II has been seen and felt ever since.
Prices of farm products advanced. The
Farmers Cancelled their mortgages One
OF the sights at the Omaha exposition was
a pyramid of large dimenslcns, composed
OF Cancelled mortgages, lifted from the
homes and farms of the people of Kansas
ana Nebraska, who we're told by the Dem
ocrats in 1896 that nothing excepting the
trce coinage Of silver could restore pros
pcrlty. Happiness and Contcntmcnt now

amity and despair prevailed. There are
no croakers, no grumblcrs, no prophets
OF evil such as filled the land in lS'6
Even the blindcst have felt the inspira-
uon and noted the quick improvement
made In trade conditions. The country is
IN sound financial condition. and the
endless chain" and the danger to the
gold reserve have disappeared and almost
passed from memory. They vanished
quickly with Democratic rule at WASH

republican congress there will be a
steady and rapid advance in the future.
do the people want another such change
as they got in 1892? No man will say aye
TO that question A Democratic con-
gress would throw a chill over the land
ana arrest prosperity. Make sure that
such calamity shall not beiall the cOun-
try by voting the Republican ticket on
