EASILY SATISFIED.

The Intelligencer affects to find great
cause for rejoicing in the fact that,
with the very large Republican MAORI
tys in Ohio county, its party was able
to hold on to eight members of the
Board of Commissioners, and sets up
the claim that the Board has been vindi-
Gated.
The present Board stands eight Re-
publicans to two Democrats, and the
new Board will be the same, but the
two Democratic members come from
districts formerly represented by Re-
publcans, while two formerly represent
ed by Democrats turned up RepuDll-
cans. That certainly showed popular
dissatisfaction with the Board in four
out of ten cases, to start with, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans suffering alike.
In one other district the Republican
only won by the very narrow margin
of thirteen votes, in still another by
but tbirty-six votes and in third by
seyenty-nine votes. In neither of these
instances was the popular endorsement
sufficiently marked to swei! mans
head or keep him awake at night.
Stated in other words, in the three dis
tricts of Union, Webster and Richland,
change of sixty-six wees would have
made the Board of Commissioners a
tie, and a change of 141 votes would
have made the Board stand six Demo-
Gratis to four Republicans.
That it came very nearly turning
out that way must be apparent even
to the Intelligencer, and that Republi-
cans were fearful of defeat and pri-
vately admitted they deserved it cannot
be doubted. Until quite late hour on
election night the officials at the Court
House Believed the majority of the
Board Democratic, or that it stood five
to five, and it was not until long after
midnight that they could draw pain
less breath, and embrace each other.
The plain fact of the matter is that
the public was hot on the trail OF the
Board Of Commissioners. and cane very
nearly administering the castlgation
the Board 50 richly deserved.

WHEELING KNOWN ABROAD.

The Paris edition of the New York
Times, Of October %, has this to say
of Wheeling as manufacturing point,
in connection with the reported re-
moval of the English firm of Seybold
G Dicksted, of Sheffield, to this city
or its immediate vicinity:
Wheeling is exceptionally well To-
Gated as a site for manufacturing
plants, and within the past few years
has become one of the foremost iron
centres of the United States. Situa-
ted on the Ohio river about 100 miles
below Pittsburg, it is within easy
reach of the coke fields of Pennsylva-
MIA, of the coke fields Of West Vir-
ginia, and is connected by three lines
of railways with various ports on Lake
Erie from which to draw its ore sup
ply. Its business men have long since
realized the advantages of its position
and to-day Wheeling is the home of
over a score of large establishments,
to which the new plant will be quite
an addition.
This is an admirable exposition of
the advantages OF Wheeling stated in
few words. We can afford exceptional
facilities for manufacturing and all
the indications point to a great future
for this city. The newly organized
Board of Trade promises to be Of great
utility in manufacturing and nercan-
tile channels alike. and it should have
the hearty support OF everybody.

There is, however, little doubt but
that water power will be available
President 4. NJ. Barton and vice
President A. B. Anderson will go in
this month, and will settle the point,
and the power will be ready by the
time the mill is set up. The whole
thing will be in running order by

make a good run on the mines this
