Letter from West Virginia.

WHEELING, w. VA, July 18th, 1915.
Dear JOurnal.:
For some months past l have held my
peace and not written to you because saw
that your space was largely taken up with
the controversy between Mr.. Roy and a
host of Mining Bosses, Superintendent
and lesser lights correspondents so plenti-
full it becomes modest young men, like my
self, to stand aloof and be "looker on in
Venice" Now, however, since the storm
has blown over leaving but scattering
flash now and then, l will begin where
left off and give you a chapter of the his
tory of the "Sang Digger State" in the gal
axv of stars named West Virginia.
NV last letter was written you from
Charleston, thc-then-seat of government
Now, the governmcnt-that is, the live
stock of the government is at Wheeling,
while the archives are still at Charleston.
Shortly after the passage OF the act Tor
the removal of the capital some shrewd
LAWYERS of Charleston concluded that a
flaw appeared in the wording of the bill
and got out an injunction against the re
moyal. Judge Smith, before whom the IL
junction bill was made returnable, Dissolved

PAINFUL, But WITTY-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore SIN gives
the following:
Some time since the accounting clerks in
the office of the third auditor Oft the treasu-
ry discovered Il discrepancy in the accounts
of an officer who served on the staff OF Gen
cral Benz f. Butler during the war. Fail
ing by means of his former address to
reach him, letter was written to the
Statesman of Essex asking whether he
could indicate his whereabouts. To this
General Butler replied; THE officer in
question mas been dead ten years, and |
reyerently believe he is in heaven A
similar case, involving one of the same
staff, came up oday, and letter waH adj
dressed to the general desiring To know
whether the officer chad gone on the same
expedition" Meanwhile the answer Of the
general is awaited with much soliCiIdc aS
the other may have taken the detecting
road.
VINO Is HE?-Thc Baltimore Gosottc
prefaces its Convention report with lively
description of the antics of a ''Cumhcrand
editor in attendance. Rusticplaytulncss is
always funny to townpeoplc, hut the latter
are generally not so spitcful and unsparing
as this metropolitan sCrihhlCr. 1t isn't just
to dcride the country press entire for the
grotesque simplicity of one, for those who
laugh will, in turn, play the monkey when
nickels are to be gathered. tits rather sad,
though, after the show is over To yet 10th
ing for the performance: Which leads us
to inquire, who is this Cumberland cditor?'
The Times references to the Gd:6tteS staff
seem to solve the problem. As the fight
stands on,hc question Of perS2nnd however,
the Times is several ahead.
NOMIN ATIons.--At the Democratic State
Convention held in Baltimore on Wcdncs-
day, Hon. John Lee Carroll of Howard
County, was nominated for Governor on
the first ballot by vote of 60 to 30 for
Hon VIM. r. Hamilton.
For Comptroller Hon Levin Woodford
of Somerset, and for Attorney General,
Hon c. J. NJ. Gwinn of Baltimore were
nominated by acc!amation.

the injunction but suspended the effect OF
his order for one week which did not cx-
pire until after the 21st day of May, the
day on which tie act of the Legislature
was to take effect The Governor, howev-
er, did not recognize the injunction of a
circuit Judge, in the case and attempted to
make the removal. This brought on cor
rcspondcncc between Judge Smith and the
Governor which finally resulted in the Gov
crnor's allowing the court to hold posses
sion of the archives at Charleston while he
and the other executive officers and attach
cs set up government at this place.
In such Il fix matters still stand, except
that part of the force was returned to
Charleston and now West Virginia, like
Connecticut and Rhode Island, is virtually
possessed Of two capitals and puts on airs
accordingly The Supreme Court of the
State will pass on the matter in August
and decide which place-W hcCling or
Charlcston-is lawfully the seat of govern
mont | have very little doubt but that
the case will he dccidcd in favor of this
point In the meantime the attaches of the
government here are not very heavily
worked and enjoy life to Il reasonable de
gree of comfort.
The iron works, nail mills and glass fac
tories here, are about all closed up for the
hot months and the atmosphere as II result
is getting SO one can see across the river by
taking Il steady look.

Mr.. Editor:

an error has occurred, the blame for which
apology is of no use in this case, | must try
to correct it, which hope will be satisfac-

two other orders from Maryland that he

The nomination of Hon John Lee Car
roll for Governor by the State Democratic
Convention held in Baltimore on Wednes-
day, was not altogether unexpected. He
had in his interest the power of ring
which cannot be easily broken. With Bal
timore and the Eastern shore TO back its
pledge against Western Maryland, and
with all the patronage i'll It's hands, it would
ibe strange had it failed. The onslaught
however was desperate, and came near sue
cess. If Mr. Carroll can enlist in his sup
port the courage which was 50 formidable
in opposition, he will doubtless be what is
claimed by his ardent adriircrs, "ouI pride
