Republican Success Assured.

The optimism OF Governor Atkinson
with regard to pronounced Republican
success in West Virginia this year, as
expressed in the Intenigencer yester-
day, is wholly within the bounds of
realization. AS the governor pointed
out all the signs and indications are In
favor of the party polling an increased
majority in November. The influx OF
new population in the past three years
owing to the tremendous strides the
state has made in the development Of
ner boundless resources in oil, coal anu
lumber, has been greater than many
people imagine. OF this new population
4our-fifths are Republican. AS the par
ty is undivided on the one great object,
the success OF the stare ticket, the addi-
tlon OF this new element Of strength. to-
gether with the first voters, those young
men who viii have become Of age, there
does not seem to be any clouds OF ap-
preciable size on the horizon OF victory.
Besides, as the governor remarked in
his interview. the Republican party has
a very decided advantage over thu
enemy in being behind the breastworks,
But there is one thing that will aid
the party in no less degree than those
already mentioned, and that Is the Won
derful prosperity the state is enjoying

would be the height OF folly to consider
such probability.

his father in having no taste for club or

Another prospective millionaire whose

more prosperous than to-day. His ar

Some suggestive Figures.

Here. are a few suggestive figures for
the farmer and stock raiser to conteu-
plate, and the peoplt of the country in
general to applaud. The farm value
of live stock in this country in 1891, -
says the Philadelphia Press, was 81
S2s,7s7,77O. By 1898, under President
Harrison. this had increased to S2,lS3,-
5O6.6Sl. From this point 4 steady de.
crease followed under Democracy and
President Cleveland until, in 1897, when
the country had had four years of an
agitation of free trade and cheap cur
reucy, both carried on by the Demo
cratic party. the farm value of live
stock had fallen to $1.665,4l4,619. With
the Inauguration OF President Mckinley
these values began to rise and in 1870
they were 5000. 65O,T13.
In four Republican years the farm
value Of live stock had risen Sl5iOOO,OoO.
In four Democratic years 1t had fallen
$50. 900 900. In three Republican years
ii has risen again s55IOOOooO, or, to put
it this way:
