While wo are not Hniiguinoas to Mason's
election in the Second district, yet tlio lntwt
lisurcH look encourntflng. The Uilllin

to depend on tliem. Mr, Reynolds, tlio (

Wilson in Kamlolpband 200 in Pendleton.
Oar advices from Uuverly, however, seem
to iuilicute more than 159 for Wilson in
that county, hut do not give actual figures
to jro upon. Secretary McCormlek telegnph.'d
113 'iltu niglxt from Grafton
that the returns favored Mason's election
by from 50 to SO, and ho is well advised j
Hliertof lie speaks. It looks as if tho d
chances were with Mason at this writing, i
We will probably know definitely to-day. 8
?nl!> Jlnjorliy.
It is scarcely worth while to repeat.our
table of counties this morningshowing the
Majorities in detail for GotT. Tlio returns a
indicate about 1,800 majority for him. g
(ioo<! lias 354 in Wetzel, JtfO iu Gilmer and
3j0 iu Braxton, or 831 in tho three coun* o
tics which he carries, while Goff has *
in tho tight counties which
he carries, including 404 in Tyler, v
niik-li came up tho river yesterday. This f]
gives him 1,832 majority in the district.
Tyler rolled up a splendid vote, Burpas3ing
ccr ui-si rccuru in inuuern unys, ana .15 entitled
lo a profound salaam from the whole 1
district. She cauio within six points of
making it cvon 500. Well done Tyler. . 1
I'lNliur Cntiiily.
This ia the county tlmt was squeezed v
into the Third district with-a tight string
around it* ncck last winter, but nil the c
same it continues to roll up decided Re- 1
publican majorities. Wo notice that 8
Unburn, the Republican candidate for the
.Senate in the Tenth Senatorial district, reeeicevl
.Vw majority in that county, and,
what is better, he was elected. ^
a 11 vnvy induction. v
Governor Jackson was elected Governor r
ol this State two years ago by a Democratic t
plurality of 10,11:15, and it now looks as if ]
that plurality lmd been pretty well wiped j
out by the heavy deciuiation of Democratic e
majorities iu the First, Second and Fourth c
Congressional Districts. Kenna's majority
iu the Third district is reported at 4,000, c
and Gibson's, in the Tourth, 13 not likely t
to exceed 1,500. In the Second district tho j
hemocralio mujarity has been entirely ob- f
litented, and in this district it is not only ^
wiped out, but is about l,800.the other way. ^
?So that instead of 15,335 as in 18S0, the ?
Democratic plurality iu West Virginia today
is less than 4,000. This is a treinen- j
dons and very significant change. It looks {
a3 il the people were sick of Bourbonisin. j
If any proper eflbrt had been made iu tho
Third district the whole Bourbon plurality
might have been practically wiped out. 1
However, the work cati be fiuished up in p
1 SSI . ; 1
The defeat of McKinley, the well known I
tirifF member of the Ohio delegation seemB 1
lo have stirred up Pittsburgh and is >
thought ,to have decidedly increased *
Paver's chances of success in Pennsyl- i
tauia. There is to be a great scramble 1
made to save as many Congressmen as ?
possible in that State. They have an idea ^
that Republican members will bo needed 1
iu the next Coneross. 1

Washington, October 13.'?The electio
news from Ohio was the-principal sub jet
of conversation about the departments an
hotels to-day.. The result was canvassc
principally with regard to its effect ou th
elections in the November States and o
the political complexion of the next Hons
of Representatives. While some entbu:
iastic Democrats were foiind cxpressin
their belief that the Ohio victorv marke
the beginning of a tidal wave of bemocra!
ic success, no Republicans were willing t
accept that view of the situatiou. On th
contrary, Republicans everywhere extrac
the consolation from the defeat in Ohio thn
it was the effect of local causes,and that thes
causes taken out of subsequent contest
would insure that party lines would agaii
be drawn in succeeding! elections even ii
Ohio. Farseeing politicians also are look
ing hopefully forward to the moral in
lltience of the defeat in Ohio on party pro*
pects in other State#, principally. Pennsyl
vaniaand New York. As ah illustratioi
of this an opinion expressed to-day to Th
Press correspondent by Judge JlcCammor
of the Interior Department, is apropos
Judge McCauimon, who is hiniEeUa Peun
sylvauian, said, that he. thought i the in
fluence of the defeat ill Ohio would torn
toward Republican unity in Pennsylvania
it would be a note of warning to such lit
publicaus as were ltd by their oppositioi
to Beaver to risk the chances of Kepuh
lican success in close .cougressiona
districts. This influence, too, woul<
be felt principally in the western part o
Penusytvanin, which ..was closely, eon
nected by business aud socialties in Oliio
and would thus reach the scat of disafl'ec
tion in Pennsylvania. A treasury oflicial
who isa New York , Stalwart, held xnucl
the same opinion with regard to'Jthe efIec
of the Ohio defeat on Republican prospect
in the Empire State. It was a note o
warning he thought, to Republicans ii
that Suite, and would be heeded. II
thought, tqo, that the Democrats would, a
usual, bo so obtruiively jubilant over thei
itbuvca ua lubul ujj IVjpUUllUUU priUU UIll

it with opposing the efl'orls of the Dem
