Had they succeeded in carrying West Virginia at the Octo- ber election of 1884 the presidency in all probability, would have been lost to the democracy. as the influ- ence in old Virginia would have been so disastrous that the republicans would certainly have carried that state, too. Steve Elkins andthe t ance of the republican leaders pour- ed lots of money into West Virginia in 1884. They will hardly do the same thing this year. Representa- tive Wilson, the of the West Virginia delegation in the house, says the political outlook in his state was never more favorable for the democratic party. Men like ex-senators Davis and Camden, who formerly leaned strongly toward protection, are this year staunch ad- vocates of tariff reform and the only da apprehended the entire state from the agitation of this issue is in the immediate neighborhood of Wheeling.
