The retrrno received OF Republican
state headquarters to-day make no
changes IN the estimate made yesterday

and the Republican majority in both
branches Of the legislature. That osh.
mate was 10000 for tho head of tho
ticket, $4,000 for White. and a majority
Of sorty In the legislature on Joint bal
lot The Indications are that the Deno-
Gratis have elected member Of tho
house both In Lewis-Webster district
and In Nicholas county, but this will
not change the estimated result, which

Politicians at Headquarters.
Chairman Dawson remained at head
quarters until nearly midnight receiving
news Of the vote In the different dis
triets. Governor-elect White was also
there receiving and answering tele-
grams that came addressed to him in
large numbers. Hon. William eeymour
Edwards, Of Charleston. General Curtin.
Of Sutton, Congressional Chairman /
Northcott, Bank Examiner kefaaver.
Secretary Hall, and many other leadera
were also at headquarters. There were
many visitors from all parts OF the state, J,
during the day and there was figuring
and much discussion Of the victory.
Chairman Dawson was warmly con-
graduated upon the success OF his man
agement of the campaign, and upon the .
accuracy with which he predicted tho
result In the state.
He was the only Republican leader OF
prominence In West Virginia who pre-
dlcted that Mckinley would carry tho
state by n larger plurality than he re-
celved in 1896.
Dawson's Predictions Verified.
1t will be remembered that on tho
Saturday preceding the election,he gave
out his final figures, and predicted Nc
Kinley would carry West Virginia by
1900. Many persons and majority OF
the managers associated with him in
the conduct of the Republican cam
paign, with the exception OF Major
Charles D. Elliott, thought that he was
putting his figures too high. But Daw-
son was confident that the returns
would prove his Judgment, which they
have done. None know the situation tn
the state better than he, and all his COL
leagues are now willing to declare ugain,
as they have declared many times that
as party organizer and the manager Of
q great campaign. he has no peer In the :.
state.

Dispatches from Charleston tonight
state that Miller has given up the fight,
and has not even claim in sight. The

parading the streets playing "a Hot
Time Red fire flashes on all sides.
and great enthusiasm prevails.
