CLAIMS LEGISLATURE.
Chairman Miller Lays Claim to
That Body.


is Ours Efforts to steal Fayette
County-Great Frauds Committed in
Southern Counties-A General Re-
view of the Situation.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. S.
There has been enough fraud and
illegal voting to enable the Republi-
cans to claim the State.
While the indications are that the
Republicans have carried the State
Chairman Miller will not concede ii
until the official returns are received.
Chairman Miller is confident that
the Democrats will have a small ma
jority in the Legislature.
The Republicans are claiming Ka-
nawha by from four to eight hun
dred. but the returns indicate that
they have been padded at number
of precincts. Ii these illegal votes
are not thrown out in the canvas oil
the vote next week, the Democrats
will institute contest. They con-
idently believe that the Democrats
will have majority of the legal
votes in the county.
The Democrats have carried Fay
cite by small majority, but the Re
publicans are trying to steal it, and
are claiming it by a big majority
The canvas of the vote will be close
ly watched, and the Democrats pro
pose to defend their rights at all
! hazards.
Monroe is reported to be Republi-
can by small majority.
Pocahontas was carried by the
Democrats by over 200 and Nc.
Clintock, Democrat, was elected te
the House of Delegates.
A private dispatch from Roane
this morning SAYS that the Demo
Gratis carried that county, but later
adyices indicate that it was carried
by the Republicans
The Republican majority in Jack
son was increased 400 over what it
was in '96.
Boone county is safely Democrat
ic, while Raleigh is Republican. Sam
| Stephenson, Democratic candidate
for the State Senate from the mint b
district is probably elected, while
w. H. McClung, Democratic candi
date from the eighth district is said
to have been defeated. The indica
lions are that S. u. Stokes, the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Senate
from The seventh district is defeated
| by Clark w. May, Republican.
The returns from the counties OF
the third congressional district SC
far received indicate that Gaines
Republican, is elected TO Congress
Chairman Stokes, of the Demo
cratic county committee of McDo-
well county, telegraphs that his
county was overwhelmed by illegal
voters, there being over 1900 sent
into that county from Virginia A
large number also voted in Mercer
Kanawha and Fayette.
If the Democratic candidates for
the Legislature elected in Kanawha
and Fayette are not counted out, the
Democrats will have majority in
the Legislature OF fifteen on joint
ballot. Without Kanawha and Fay
cite the Democratic majority in the
Legislature will be three, if the re
ports of the result in the several
counties heard from prove TO be re
liable.

the first snowfall. In case it comes
krue we will have great deal Of snow

makes a special fight ON Mr.. Durbin. In
his speeches he deyotes his entire time
10 an attack on Mr.. Durbin on the theory
that he agreed TO serve as sheriff for the

Durbin when the campaign opened
whether ne could an the Office for $500

not. llo did not think Il was enough 10
get good men 10 take the Office, and at
the opening meeting Mt Turner he de.
clined 10 make any pledge TO conduct
the office for that sum. No living man
could do IL, unless II might be Mr. Flagg,
and he has never shown any dispo,i
tion to serve the public at personal

Offices could be conducted for. and de
clded that reduction Of $1,000 could b,
made ON the yearly pay Of county Offices
without impairing the efficiency Of the
service. The republicans Of Marion
county met week later, aud put out a
platform 10 reduce the amount Of the
county salaries 10 $4,000. That figure
would never have occurred TO them II
the Union party had not proposed cut
Of $1,000. To make their cut ON ealar.

GOOD GOVERNMENT AND GOOD
SCHOOLS

The reputation Of having the best cit,
government Of any municipality on the
Pacific coast will in time prove the best
advertisement and the means OF bring.
Ing more capital, more manufactures
and more population TO the capital city
than any other inducement we can hold
out, not even excepting our glorious eli.
mate. Next to good government. good
schools will bring more permanent
prosperity to salem than anything else,
aud II IL gratifying that the Salem board
OF education has employed 30 many
lirstclass teachers for the ensuing year.
The board has retained the services
OF the primary and grade teachers who
have made good records and served
faithfully In the public schools the past
year. They could not retain all, as is
b it natural in list OF forty teachers
There will be- personal differences be.
tween live members Of school board
and even some good teachers deserving
retention can not always be kept. In
the employment Of new ones mistakes
will be made that have afterwards To be-
corrected. But II the board act in good
faith with an eye singly 10 the public
interest and To give the people the best
schools for the money expended, the
total result will be good.
In the employment of new teachers
the board have strengthened and i'm.
proved the Salem teaching force and
have set the schools ahead Of any in the
western part Of the state. II they will
give the people all the grade work in all
the large buildings as the people at their
annual meeting two years ago asked
them 10 do, IL would be- great improve.
ment They will no doubt refund the
debt with four per cent money as fast as
Il falls due as the people have ordered
them 10 do, and Il possible carry all the
hoating debt in the same manner. Next
To the reputation Of the city for good
financial management, the morale and
educational standards Of our public
schools, as well as their economical
management and freedom FROM political
and machine management arc all i'm.
poriant.
