Il have little to add" said Mr..
Scott, ito my personal card printed
IN the Intelligezcer q Jew days ago,
stating as clearly ana briefly as I
could. my opinion OF the Republican
defeat. 1t now seems to be settled
that We Will havesa BemOcratic
House of Representatives, Repub-
Hean Senate, in which however, the
Republican insurgents Will be con-
stdered factors. and Republican
president. Under the circumstances
the Legislative sttuationiis likely to
be very mixed. In fact 1t is dif1cuIt to
see how any thorough going party

bills and routine matters will re-
eeive all due attention but certainly
it will be impossible for discord-
ant elements to sgree upon any ex-
tenslve program of party or progress
sfve Legislation. One thing, how
ever, has already been observed by
the business Interests OF this country
That is. the possibility OF COM
bfnatfon OF Democrats and in
surgent RepuBlicans controlling
both branches of Congress, and pro-
ceeding to revise the tariR down
yards, and radically as to certain
specific schedules. That, believe,
is the very greatest danger, the peo-
Pile of West Virginia and the Ohio
Valley have to anticipate. The
Democrats OF the South and West
and the Republican senator's from
those western states who are pleased
to term themselves insurgents. have
set their hearts on reducing the pro-
tective tarifr on the products OF
the Ohio valley, and particularly on
iron. steel and glass and potteries.
In my addresses during the cam
paign. tried as vigorously as
could to point out tina danger that
will result from such-,a line OF ac-
tios. We arc now fact to face with
that danger. Whatever tariff re-
vison is undertaken by the next
Congress will be by special meas
ures. and the schedules that Will be
assailed before all Others viii be the
wooden schedules and the iron,
steel, glass and pottery schedules.
My ouly regret is that the interests
OF many Of my friends and neigh
bors in tho city OF Wheeling and the
State of West Virginia are likely
to sufrer under these conditions.
personally. I feel a distinct relief
that the campaign is over and that
the long senatorial fight has at last
ended. While would have appre-
oiated greatly recollection to the
United States Senate, 1 appreciate
still more the fact that in my own
district, the candidate for the state
senate who was pledged to my sup
port was reelected, and in my own
county the Legislative candidates
ran considerably ahead OF their
tickets, L appreciate more than
can say the loyal and devoted
friendship that has been. shown me
by hundreds and Thousands OF good
men all over West Virginia during
