WEST VIRGINIA.

The indications are that substantial
Democratic gains were made in West
Virginia yesterday, but the returns re-
ceived last night were so scattered that
it is very difficult to make up a proper
estimate of the result That Mr.. A. B.
White is elected Governor appears to
be sure, yet his majority promises to
be less than that given Mr.. Atkinson
four years ago. Much of this result is
due to fraudulent and unlawful votes.
The Legislature is in doubt. There
have been Republican losses and Dem
ocratic gains, Democratic losses and
Republican gains. The net result is
probably beneficial to the Democracy.
In the light of present returns it Is en-
tirely justifiable to say that the next
United States Senator is in doubt.
The Congressional delegation is in
volved in the same obscurity as the
rest of the ticket in this State. Possibly
it may be three Democrats to one Re-
publican; probably it will be two to
two-it may stand three to one, as two
years ago. 1t will take time and much
more information than is at present
available to settle this important mat
ter. Our Geographic columns present
to the reader he best summary of the
news up to daylight this morning.

The Old Man Seems to Have Doyvned

Estimates of MckfnIey,s Majority.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6. - Esti-
mates from one-half of the counties in
Pennsylvania indicate a plurality for
Mckinley of over 200, 900. In this city
the fusion of the Democrats with the
municipal league cut down the Repub-
lican county majority, but ]. Hampton
Moore, for city treasurer, and Jacob
Singer, for register of wills, are elected
by more than $4,000 plurality. In Mont
gomery and Chester counties, where
the fusionists made strong fight to
elect nine anti-Quay members of the
Legislature, they suffered severe set
back, the regular Republicans winning
by large majorities.
Pennsylvania delegation in the next
Congress will not be less than "a Re-
publicans to 6 Democrats, as against
20 Republicans and 10 Democrats in
the present Congress.
NJ 8. Quay's friends are claiming
that they will have a majority on
joint ballot favorable to his reelection
to the United States Senate. and the
returns appear to bear out this claim.
The control of the State Senate as
between Quay and anti-Quay is IN
doubt, with, the chances f9voring the
Quayites, though the complete returns
may give the organization of that body
to the opponents of Mr. Quay.

THE BOARD of COMMISSIONERS.


At four o'clock this morning the in
dications were that the new Board of
Commissioners would stand four DEM
ocrats and six Republicaps-a Demo-
cratic gain of two. At this hour not
a word had been received from Liberty
district and the result for Commits
sioner is unknown.
The Democracy have elected Mr..
Byrne in Center, he defeating Mr.. An
drew S. Hare. In Triadelphia, MI.
Cecil D., is elected. In Union. Mr..
Bearley, D., was chosen, and Mr.. Nc
Cullouch carried Richland, according
to the latest figures. Webster was lost
to the Democracy, Mr.. Moore being
elected. The Board may stand five
and five political. but more probably
four TO six, with the Republicans hav-
ing the best end of it. For the Demo-
cratic gains, Republicans who realized
the necessity for a change az the Court
House are largely entitled to credit.
The men who voted for Democratic
candidates for Commissioner are good
citizens, and are to be both congrat-
| ulated and credited.

THE REGISTERS NEWS SERVICE.

THE REGISTERS NEWS SERVICE.
The Register last night gave mag
nifcent exposition of it's ability to give
the public the news.
We didn't wait until a paper could
be printed. That method, while good
in its way, is too slow when the pub
lie is upon the tip-toe Of expectation
and wishes to know right away what
is going on.
Promptly at seven o'clock the re-
sources of the long-distance telephone
and the bulletin service of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and Of
the Associated Press were brought
into play, Charles G. Schmidt unlim-
bered his stereopticon, and the news
was flashed upon mammoth screen
| where the five thousand people who
| damned Market street for square
from one house line to the other could
read the intelligence as it came over
the wires. The average time elapsing
between the receipt of bulletin and
giving 1t to the vast crowd was less
than one minute, and one telegram fol-
lowed another at the rate of sixty-five
or seventy per hour.
All the news, Democratic or Repub-
lican, worth displaying, was handiAd
impartially, and the service was the
best ever known in Wheeling
The Register is a newspaper, and
/ the public are our friends when it
comes to spreading news broadcast.
Everybody is always welcome to all
we knew, and last night there was an
universal recognition of enterprise.

4 NAGNIFIcENT SERVICE.

The stereopticon service given the
people of the city of Wheeling last
night, from the Register Office, by Mr..
Charles C. Schmidt, was a magnificent
one. Up to midnight more than two
hundred and fifty bulletins had been
displayed, and it is entirely safe to say
that twenty-five thousand people read
them, for the crowd averaged five
thousand for hours, and was coming
and going all the time. After midnight
the service was continued, and hundreds
of additional bulletins were displayed.
1t was the greatest news service
ever given in Wheeling, and there was
popular appreciation of the enterprise
of the Register and for the personal
service of Mr. Schmidt and his assist
ants.

: uckIyLEY RE-ELECTED.

Il majority of the electoral vote of
the country has been cast for William
Mckinley. and he will be President
OF the United States for four more
wears. There will be decidedly less
arrogance at the White House, how
ever. for the indications are that there
VIII be a Democratic House of Repre-
seasatiyes as a curb upon expenditures
and legislation, and the people will be
correspondingly better off. The DEM
ceracy made large gains in the pop
ular vote, notiteahly in New England,
whore the people have felt the heavy
hand of the trust more particularly
than in the agricultural West, and
where imperialism and militarism are
decidedly unpopular. In no case, how
ever, were these gains, large though
they were, sufficient to cnange any Of
the States from The Republican to the
Democratic column. The drift towards
the Democracy in Republican New
England, however, was sufficiently
strong to make Mr.. Mckinley and his
political friend. do some very hard
thinking, and will serve as a solemn
warnin that d persistence in past pol
icies will result in making Maine, New
IIamp. shire, yern- ont, Rhode Island,
Massac husetts and Connecticut Demo-
cratic ystronghoIds. The tendency is
decidedly in that direction.
In New York the majority is less
for Mcslin ley than four years ago, al
though eth very large Brooklyn voted
for him very substantial plurality,
while tire lie aocratic plurality for
Bryan in the ooroughs of Manhattan
and the ,sronx md Richmond was not

publican vote in the State at large.

me result is to be regretted, yet per-
haps it comes to the Democracy as a
blessing in disguise. Within a year
there viii be a great traction in bus

artificial boom We hive experienced
in the year or two just past. This is
Inevitable Had the [ emocracy car
ried the election and in stalled its ma
tioaal candidates in Off e, the b'ame
would have been laid at the doors Of
the party. AS it is, the Republicans
cannot escape from the esponsibiIity
for the legitimate result OF their own
legislation and policies andi.will have
to bear the burden.
AS for the Democracy, It is undis-
mayed and unterrifed. Its cause has
made distinct gain in tie election
{ of yesterday over four years ago, both
in the electoral and popular vote. 1t
is even possible, when all the returns
are complied, that Mr.. Bryan will have
a plurality of the total vote of the
country, while losing the election.
That has occurred before in our polit-
zeal history, and it is possible at any
time for a minority candidate to oc-
cupy the Presidential chair. The peo-
pie will have to fight one more battle
at the polls, and for that contest the
Democratic party is both ready and
eager The campaign of 1900 is over.
That of 1904 is to come, and for it we
must prepare.
