The ofTlcial returns oa the Wci*t Virginia slate ticket testify to the great personal popularity of th<* Itepublleacandidates, esp*?dally In the case of Mr. Atkinson, whose plurality far ahead <>l that received by t!he next Ipghetft tnan on tho ticket, Mr. La FoMette. the auditorclecL Mr. A ikluaon'a plurality la 14,575, which is 3,687 in excess of that received by ftteKlirioy, atrtl 2,273 ahead of Mr. La let teal' lt-4? very evident that Mr. Atkinson was much stronger than hi3 party vote and that a great many Democrats regarded him as a better man lor governor than their own candidate, or at ieost that they preferred "him over Mr. [Watts. In comparing the vote tecoived (by the state ticket with that cast for .the national ticket it should be remembered that there was a fusion of "the Populisms am! Democrats on presidential electors. True there was one attempted on the btate ticket, but the returns show that a very considerable number of Populirfts refused to be delivered,_1,129 of them voting for Fitzgerald in spite of his withdrawal, and there is reason to believe iliftt many more contented themselves with scratching the name of Watts from the Democratic ballot. Tho handsome vote received by Mr. 'Atkinson in excess of all others Is convincing evidence of/his extraordinary strength us a candidate before the people and is as gratifying to his friends as it doubtless is to *hlm. A compulsory school law seems to l?c ~r i?Klnno ?K;?? 'i rn rvrnvlnc In West Virginia. Thorp is no doubt that there is a very strong: sentiment in its favor in the state. Sot Prolinlile. The story from Charleston that Judge John Jay Jacson will probably retire from the federal bench before the expiration of President Cleveland's term and' that Governor MacCorkle will probably be appointed to succeed him, needs to be vouched for before it will be believed. The reference to Judge Jackson may have some basis, as -the judge is getting tveii up in years and It is but natural that he should feel a desire to rest, after a third of a century o{ service to his country, but the speculation regarding Governor MacCorkle as a possible successor will be taken with salt. Governor MacCorkle, whatever may be his private views on the currency question, allied himself with the enemies ot the national administration in the lute campaign and aided and abetted the cause of Mr. Bryan and free silver. It lias been observed of Jatc that President Cleveland, In filling vacancies Jn high positions, Isn't looking in tliat direction, but keeps his eye steadily the other way. Howards arc going to those who stood by him nnd held up his bands in the light Lor true Democracy. With all duo respect to Governor MacCo rkle, and with the very kindest regard for him, and good wishes for his future, the Intelligencer Is bound t<? say it dobs not believe he will receive the honor ?uggi.jjted at tho hands of President Cloveland. The question now arises, will Mr. Hanna succeed Mr. Sherman in the senate? It lo"ks that way. Mr. Hanna will be a valuable man In the senate and Ohio will loxe none of her prestige by his selection. Slightly Mistaken. Here 1? a rich paragraph from Iho Rcgi. I r's editorial comment on the governor's message: Tim governor points out that It ban rt)nuln<-il for thoprwnt ]>inoerutlo ndminl (ration to nofvo tho knotty problem of uon-partlMan boardn In tho tr.?in;iK^rncnt of mir Ktato institution:), which uro all Ju Hpletidid nhape. That la a champion exhibition of ignorance, even for tho Register, nnd will bo duly appreciated by tho state-:men -at .Charleston, Intfudiug tho gover ; ; ! j' ; nor hlmSelf. Jf the Register will rub up its memory. H will recall that the "knotty problem" of non-partban boards was not solved by " a Democratic administration,"' t)ut by a Republican legislature, which reformed the old Democratic method of not allowing the minority party any representation and compelled the appointment of non-partisan boards. And for 90 doing the legislature wa3 denounced as partisan by the Register at the tlma.' The Pro Mightier tliMii (lie Sword* A friend of the Intelligencer, who has been a close reader of the Cuban new3 fince tho outbreak of the Insurrection. has done som > figuring from the dispatches, from Havana, giving Uid Spanish official report* cf the lighting that has occurred, lie Amis that there ha-, been altogether about 'ICO days of lighting, and, 'judging from the Spanish reports of the results thirc has been .in average of 0"> Cub&r.s killed per day, making,& total ??f 4.5,700 dead. If wo add the 1,50^ reported killed in the battle of SanAa ClaraWednesday, the number i caches 45,200. Now, according to thejo Same Spanish .*? coonttta Uio total Cuban army consisted of only 60,000 men. so that there are but 14.S00 i>? the original army left. Thcr* has beeh comparatively little recruiting. Gome?, It Is stated has 6,000 men In Santa Clara province and Revelra has 8,800 In the provinces of Matanza3 and l'inar dal Rio. The Spaniards admit that their army in Cuba numbers 196,000 men. j These figures, which, ns we have remarked. arc baaed upon the Havana dispatches, which have passed through the handti of General Wcyler's press censor, edited, as It \vere, by military editors, are Interesting as showing one of twi thiugu. They Indicate either the utter ira potency of the Spanish, army in Cuba, or that the Havana; reports of Spanish victories and wholesale low oC life on the Cuban side have bHe,n grossly exaggerated for a purpose)by the official reports. l'U? Huit fhft ^nllu rnnrtHlo ftf .Spanish victories are untrue. They do not tally wlth'the accounts that are furnished by the]representatives of American newspapers, nor with the accounts received-from Jot her reliable source.?. A t the rate! that the Cubans have been killed off by the Spanish editor in Havana, ns calculated jby our friend, the entire host of insurrectionists should be wiped out in a few|morc days, and then the war will end for want of any more men for "VVcVIer'Sjto cat army of 11)6,000 troops to slay.) Verily the Spanish editor Is daily demonstrating that the pen is mightier than the sw*ird, and that when it comes to crushing an insurrection the pencil of NVeyler ? official reporter is more deadly than shot and4 shell.

It appears tfhat the information he obtained jjy reason of his standing a?.a I senator-elect, he has made merchandise of, audi has sold to newspaper men, 1n some c;ises violating sacred confidences, j Consul General Leo charges him with having dono this. One of the acts'of indiscretion he at; mtush 03 admits. Ho I says General Lee Intrusted him with an important message to Secretary Olney. a message which was to be delivered in the strictest confidence. It Is now charged that Mr. Money sold the message to a 1 ne\v.spa|ier syndicate and Secretary Olney received It along with millions of other newspaper readers. Mr. xoncy is, m consequence oj: una highly improper action, just now receiving: a v|ry t?vero hauling over the coals and is .>eing made to feci any way but comfortable. The senator's motive 1n vidllngj Cuba was reganjtfd at the time as very praiseworthy, hut his conduct since hif 'turn, if Consul deneral Lee is | to lie c?E?ted, has been 'hardly such as* calls fogiommeridiUon.

The total vol* cast for governor by all parties j was 20ZpiA, while the total voto cost-for ail presidential candidates was only 201,739, accordtog to the official returns. It I seems strange that there should be nearly 4,000 voters who were not sufficiently interested in the presidential contest to express a preference, and yet such is the logic of the figures.

The above taken from the Sheperds-1 town Register, a Jefferson county paper, may "be accepted a.-; true. It will be re-' membered that the Review predicted more than a year ago that Mr. Wilson would not return to West Virginia, but would go to New York. It Is well that he .should, for the politics advocated by him 'have been in the interest of the peapi'' of New York, rather than f<?r the benefit of his constituents in tho Second district.?Hampshire Review.

Sprlugfleld Republican: The Palmer and Buckner Christmas celebration ex Dudley, Kan., is reported to have been a marked success. That town is noted as having been the only town or election precinct in the wide land carried by the gold Democratic ticket last November. It contains eleven voters, of whom six, or a majority of one cast ballots for Palmer and Buckner electors. When General Buckner heard of this he sent on to the town clerk a twogallon jug of raro old Kentucky whiskey and $50 in money to pay for a Christmas celebration. The clerk was instructed to turn over the big Jug and money to the sound-money Democrats, but, having in mind the recognized character of Democrats, sound money as well as silver, and considering the laws and morals of Kansas, the cierk left the whiskey in cave of Mrs. Samuel Acres and Mrs. George Hanthorn. Tlie I two women kept hold of the Jug, and | proceeded to Organize the celebration. The sound-money Democrats Invited the other five voters and their families, and the whole population of about fifty inen, women and children participated. The entertainment was heJd in the school house, and consisted of a Christmas tree, feast and dance, the $50 having fceen use3 to buy food and presents for the children. "Mrs. Acres and Mrs. Hanthorn." the report says, "had charge of the liquid refreshments, consisting of straight whiskey, eggnog and punch, Hiving the men enough to make them feel good, and no more. The celebration lasted from early in the morning until midnight. And nil the voters went home sober, thanks to the feminine monopoly of the whisky jug. It was unanimously votcd thst General Buckner was Just their kind of man, and they hoped he would run for the vice presidency every year. The prohibition government of Kansas docs not yet appear to have taken cognizance of the successful run of General Buckner's Jug past the state's rum blockade.
