For four more years will Theodore
> IRoosevelt stand at .lite head of the
.Sreatest government oa earth. Though
L 'tho election of the Renuhlican ticket
f bad been, a foregone conclusion for
;several weeks there have been those
"who doubted and some were willing
i'\ to be in the doubting class until midnight
last night. Then all room for
"unbelief had ceased to exist and the
whole United States was willing to
accept the facts and most of the in;
habitants rejoiced.
; The American people like to know
-a thing for certain and many gathered
on the streets at an early hour last
, . evening to hear the news. Enthusiastic
Republicans and anxious Denio,-erats
thronged the streets, eash side
i -cheering for its candidates. As is al'
ways the case, a great deal depended
j|p| upon New York. Being the home of
two leading candidates of the
1 . campaign, it would, to a great extent,
J -ahow which way the Presidential wind
i -was blowing.
The first returns from New York
V , showed up in favor of Herrick, Demi
-ocratic candidate, for governor. This
: caused some uneasiness on the part
L -of the Republicans and made the
r. "Democrats .hilarious. The up-State
I . returns as usual showed that the Ref
publican ticket was ahead. Soon the
city districts were heard from and
the New York World led by conceding j
the Slate to Roosevelt. We were :
next nearly tickled to death by the
I .following: "The New York Sun says
f ^everything indicates that Roosevelt
has carried New York by an enor- j
annus plurality, exceeding McKinley's
in 1S09. Looks like a Republican
..Landslide." ? In order to be in the lead
-the New York World next conceded
jthe election of Higgles, Republican
^candidate for governor of that State.
Roosevelt then began to lead In the
returns' from the city districts of the
metropolis and the Brooklyn Daily
' 12agle, Democratic, recognized the inevitable
and announced that Roose

the next governor of New York State.
This bit or news intermingled with
that of the overwhelming Republican
majorities from Maine. Pennsylvania
and Ohio, sent many of Ihe people
home satisfied, others to he saved from
humiliation. Then the New York
World conceded Roosevelt a plurality
of 250.000 in New York State and a
plurality of 150,000 for Higgins. That
was enough for that State and even
the Democrats were convinced.
Next came forth the World saying
that, the next House of Representatives
will he Republicans by from 25
to 30 majority. Then the same paper
gave Roosevelt 325 electoral votes
and 3 51 to Parker.
Then the New York Journal dispelled
the clouds of doubt hanging
over Illinois, New Jersey. West Virginia
and Wisconsin and handed them
over to Roosevelt without even having
the concession disputed by the Democrats.
Connecticut was conceded to Roose- I
velt by 20,000 and Utah and Colorado
sent out good reports. At 10:40 P.
M. Herrick sent to Governor elect I
Higgins, of New York, the following:
"Please accept my congratulations,"
which of course he did. Indiana and
Montana reported for Republicanism
and there were no more doubtful
States, and Parker was left nothing
but the Solid South. Most of the oth- 1
er States have permanently joined '
the Republican column and it is the 1
final contest In many for the political
supremacy.
New York.
Mew York gave McKinley a plurality
of 143,606 but was considered doubtful
this year, being the homo of both
the Presidential candidates. The Mew
Yorlc World's estimate of 250,00 plu- *
ralitv for Roosevelt shows how far 1
I it was doubtful.
r
West Virginia. g
West Virginia was considered
doubtful because of its being the hoine n
of Vice Presidential Candidate* Davis e
wlio could easily produce a bar'l with ^
a million in It (but he didn't). This c
State gave McKinley a plurality of
21,022 which the returns show will t
be increased this year. The State will Q
remain in the Republican column and a
never again be considered doubtful.

MARION COUNTY I:
$1
THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICKET
IS ELECTED WITH POSSIBLE
EXCEPTION OF HARRY
SHAW.
ROOSEVELT'S AND DAWSON'S MAJORITIES
WILL REACH INTO
THE HUNDREDS CONSIDERABLY.
The returns are slow in coming from
Tie different precincts in Marlon
;ounty and at six o'clock this morning 1
here were yet eight voting places
vhich had not heen heard from. From :
lie returns so far It is estimated that '
he whole Republican ticket has been 1
ilected. Wm. M. 0. Dawson has car- 1
led the county from 700 to 1,000 and 1
he majorities of the candidates on tlie '
tepublican county ticket will range '
rom 200 to TOO. From present indi- s
:atlons Harry Shaw and the whole <
icliet has been elected. In most in- 2
tances the dictrict officers on the Re- *
'ubllcan ticket have been elected. 1
The Republicans are proud of the J
howing that they have made. All 1
orporations in the county of any 1
iote were fighting the ticket and the
ntire Democratic force and money i
.-as centered on one man. If they 1
annot elect their man by such work I
here is no use for them to ask any- -v
hing more at the hands of the voters I
f tills county. Here in Fairmont the i
mount of money paid by the Demorats
far exceeded anything of the
ind in the history of the city. Yet
. seems that the Voters showed of 1
'hat they are made by voting for the /
arty which has brought them pros- c
erity. v

but the great part of it
because the Democratic dollar was
appearing to the voter. Yet this same
dollar was earned under Republican
policies. And this dollar was multiplied
many fold to-day. It has been
estimated that the Democrats spent
from $30,000 to $40,000 in hard cash
in Marion county to-day. It was the
most shameful work ever perpetrated
in the county.
It is only just to say that the Republicans
had some money, but they
were not prepared to meet bids of
from ten to twenty dollars per vote,
as was found in numerous cases to
have been offered by Democrats. But
notwithstanding this desperate effort
:o capture the county, the Republicans
withstood their tempting offers
a hundreds of Instances and the result
is as above stated. We have
elected every man on the ticket by a
good safe majority, with the possible
exception of Harry Shaw, against
whom unusual activity was made.
3ut we shall not give up his election
mtil the full vote is counted and the
-esult positively shown.
The following voting precincts had
lot yet been heard from at presstlme:
Hotter Building and Burt's Tannery,
tfannington; Bunner's Ridge, First
vard Moyor's office, Nuzum's Mills,
"'airview, West Monongali and Farmngton.
