The State Convention .

The Democratic and conservative State
Convention meets in Parkersburg to-day.
It's work is an important one and the
result of it's deliberations will be anx-
iously awaited. 1t is expected to NOM
mate candidates for the various State
Offices to be filled this fall, and the coun-
ty delegations from each Congressional
district will probably select candidates
for Congress at their present meeting.
We will have some report from the Con-
vention tomorrow morning.
The chances for the election of the
ticket to be nominated by the Conven-
ton are far from discouraging. True,
we labor under the disadvantage of a
most Ubiquitous registration act, the
whole machinery of which is under con-
troll of the man who will probably
be the radical nominee for Governor,
but, at the same time, we know
that last May when the act was first en-
forced and when the newness and unu-
sual character of the regulation deter
red theu sands of conservative men from
