CINCINNATI. o., Nov. IA special TO
the Commercial Tribune from Charles
ton. w. Va, says: THE political com
plexion of the West Virginia Legislature
on Joint ballot depends upon contested
seats and will not be settled until the
two houses are organized. The Republic
cans will reorganize the Senate and the
Democrats the House. The two contest
ed seats in the Senate Will be decided
by the courts. and the same decision Will
settle both, the question being whether
a senator loses his seat by accepting a
commission In the army. Senator Get
zendanner is a captain and Senator Pier
sonisa lieutenant.
Democrats have been elected as sue
cessors. The House Will pass on the
eligibility OF its members, and several
seats will be contested. The official re-
Turns will amount to nothing more than
to furnish data upon which the two
parties can work.
