Doubts Eliminated.

The republicans have been Tightening
their lines considerably the last few days
and the feelings of doubt entertained re-
Gently have been to an extent eliminated
by a goodly share of success In winning
back anti-Dawson republicans. The l1ickers
are not all loud-mouthed, though, and the
dissatisfaction is widespread, taking in
fully fifty of the fifty-five counties, that
DewSons defeat is still a possibility unless
the republican vote for Roosevelt is SO large
it will pull him through. While disposed to
expect a Roosevelt plurality yet hopeful of
the success of Parker and Davis, the demo-
Gratis do not believe it will be large enough
to save Dawson, and they point to republic
can Pennsylvania which twice elected Pat
tison, democratic governor, and to republic
can Ohio, which elected Campbell demo-
cratic governor.
The republics MS and democrats figure the
situation in West Virginia from different
standpoints. The republicans think Roose-
welt. or, to be correct the normal republic
can national strength will pull their can
didate for governor through The demo-
Gratis believe the vote for their candidate
for governor will similarly aid their ma
tional ticket. The country at large figures
too largely on the personality of Henry e.
Davis 1t is undoubtedly factor. and
without Davis the democracys strength
this year would be at the minimum, so far
as the national ticket goes, but the Davis
termination has been almost completely en-
veloped by the state fight. This contest
would have been equally keen without
Davis nomination, but of course the demo-
cratic end would not have been SO well
financed
