The enterprise OF the Intelllgcncer in
anticipating the January compilation
OF the official vote Of the state OF West
Virginia after tina canvass by the legis-
lature. by getting into communication
with the many county clerks In the AZ
ty-tive counties of the state and maxi
ing It's own compilation from the off,
cial figures as canvassed by the county
courts. was. commented upon favorably
on all sides Saturday. The Intelligent.
Ger Is under obligations to the county
clerks, who, with two or three excep-
lions. sent in the figures asked for Inn
mediately after the county courts had
acted. ~ W.
The Compilation appearing Saturday
had the estimated vote In three coun-
ties. Since then the official vote for
these counties has been received, maxi
Ing slight increase In the Republican
matorities. The compilation entire.
will appear In the Intelligencer again
Tuesday morning, absolutely correct In
every particular.
Several days ago another Wheeling
morning paper announced editorlally
that 1t would print the complete returns
for West Virginia. The 1ntelligencer,
on the other hand. INDUCED in no ad-
vance agent business but quietly and
industrlously proceeded with It's COM
pilation of the returns-which appeared
Saturday. The Registers compilation
is still in course of preparation.
Congressman Dovener left yesterday
for Washington. accompanied BY Mrs.
Dovener. He Is to attend sittings OF the
house rivers and harbors committee
this week. Captain Dovener ranks Sec
ond only to Chairman T. e, Burton. of
Ohio. on this most important commit
tee OF the house OF representatives.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector A.
r. Campbell, is In Washington.
When one thinks of that plurality of
$500 scored by Congressman-elect
Gaines. in the Third district, he won
ders how 1t was possible for Dave john
ston to slide In on Democratic plural
ity OF 700 two years ago.
The recount in Randolph county on
the vote for congressman seems to have
been held for the purpose Of several
parties who had money bet, that Col.
Thomas Davis would carry the county
by more than five hundred majority,
which was made without proper con-
sent from Colonel Davis, and put the
county to about hundred dollars ex-
pense. The Democratic commissioners
of the various precincts OF the county
returned a verdict Of 499 for Colonel
Tom over Dayton. The Democratic
cnnvassing board counted the refused
ballots and otherwise changed the count
and made 1t SIS. The changes were
made substantially in two precincts,
No. 6, in Leadsville and No. 2, In Hut
louisville, being very little change else
where other than the counting Of con-
trOverted ballots. After the recount
was completed by the canvassIng board
and before the declaration of the result,
a Democratic mob undertook to enforce
the payment OF the money by the stake
holders, which was refused and so the
matter stands at this wrlting.-Elk!ns
