specIaI to the InteIlIgeucer.l
This town is filled with delegates to the
Democratic State Convention and nearly
every portion Of West Virginia is repre-.
scnted. The excitement runs nigh and
everything is lie and buzz
The steamers Courier and Emma Gra'
ham, with over 300 delegates, arrived
early in the afternoon, accompanied by
Kramer's and Vaas' bands, and Of course
created a sensation. The whole OF the
afternoon and evening has been spent in
caucusipg. Tonight each, Senatorial dis
trict met in private caucus 10 agree uPen
ticket, platform and organization
The three most important points
that are troubling the faithful are
.Q) Walkers resolution to submit
the Capital question to ayote Of the peo
pie OF the State as part OF the party
platform, (2) the Financial plank, and g,
the split in the Wheeling delegates
Walkers resolution is we'll backed by
the Third district, but vigorously OPP
posed by the other two. Walker, howev.
er, is determined to carry it through OF
bolt. Major Mathews, the leading
candidate for Governor, opposes its adop
tion, and it now looks as il his opposition
would defeat his nomination. The hard.
money men oppose any distinct declara
tion on financial matters, but the rag.baby
fellows are determined to strike boldly
for soft money, and they will probably
win, as they are plainly in the majorit!
and more aggressive than the OtherS.
THE WHEELING INBRoGLro.
There ia no prospect Of a reconciliation
tonight among the Wheeling delegates
II is understood that Hans Good and Al
Caldwell will open out on the Bakerite

that he is dead cock in the pit.
