OHIO COUNTY IN THE STATE CON
VENTION

The demonstration made by kanawha
county and the threats of her newspapers,
give us to understand that Ohio county
has work TO do in the Charleston Con-
vention. 1t is no boys play now, there
IS something serious about it, affecting
the business interest of the entire city and
county 1t may not be regarded as very
serious matter (although there is some
thing serious even in that when crowd
of young politicians on the "you tickle
me and III tickle you" plan, throw their

tion to dish out the respective offices to
each other, and in doing SO set aside all

SAD ACCIDENT--On last Thursday
Messrs. Nimrod Eddy and Adam Bentz,
of Barnesville, went out hunting, and
after being in the woods awhile got sep
arated from each o.her, but this didn't
seem like anything out of the usual way
until the long absence of MIR. Eddy
created II iecln. of uneasiness in Mr..
Bentz, and he ut once began search for
his missing conpanion. After searching
for perhaps half hour lie found Mr..
Eddy lying in Il tree top on his face, and
upon lifting him up discovered that he
had been shot in the back part of the
head, and that q portion of the brain
was protuding. Mr.. Bentz at once had
him taken to Barnesvllle, where he re-
ceived medical treatment, but at last ac-
counts his recovery was considered
doubtful. 1t has not been ascertained how
the accident occurred, as Mr.. Eddy has
not been able to explain.

The prospects of the money market
for the coming season forms the subject
OF recent well considered article in the
New York Times, in which the inference
is drawn from the small supply of cash
in May, as compared with previous
years, that there Will be a corresponding
deficiency in September and October
which is the season of the year when a
scarcity Of cash in bank vaults has often
caused great trouble to those who are
In any way dependent on loans. Upon
that idea the Times makes some very
just remarks upon the need OF
better measures for the New York banks
to strengthen their reserves in anticipa'
ton Of the times wnen the reserves OF
these banks are largely drawn upon. The
lesson, which was enforced somewhat
rudely by the events of September, 1873,
cannot be reverted to too frequently; but
we hardly think that there is any espe-
cial necessity for forebodings this year.
1t is true that up to few days ago the
reserves of the New York banks were
drawn more closely than is gen.
erally the case at this time OF
the year; but this was due to variety
OF adventitious circumstances. and
rapid increase in reserve has since
been taking place in New York. The
country banks are full of unemployed
funds, and should there arise In New
York next fall an increased demand for
funds it is likely that the movement OF
money IN that direction would be
extremely heavy. 1t is, however, worth
while to ponder on the phenomena
afforded by the movements of currency
to and from the metropolis, and to reflect
upon the scant means of self protection
afforded to the n ew York banks, against
the cxigencies which such movements
may produce.

WHEELING, w. VA. MONDAY MORNING, 2,

propertyholder, but Is 1t ordinarily the
case that delegate 80 situated will subor-
dinate everything else to the interest OF
the city. If by reason of failure of the
Ohio county delegation to cope with that
from Ksnawhs county, the Democratic
party of this county will be held respon-
sible, and justly SO for the injury we
suffer. We now appeal to the Demo-
Gratis OF this county to know if you are
going to take the risk. We appeal to the
business men of Wheeling to know if
you are going to jeopardize your in
terests.
The objection urged to passing a res
olution in the convention admitting all
Democrats as delegates upon the ground
that the gentlemen connected in an Of
fetal capacity with the State House
would'ac as delegates, is perfect bosh'
In the first place these gentlemen do not
claim citizenship in Ohio county, and
did not propose, nor do they ask to go as
delegates from this county. In the
second place the resolution in question
was written by DR.. GEO. BAIRD and Of
fered by Col. Tom OBRIEN and any
one in Ohio county who knows these
gentlemen, knows that neither of them
would desire to do anything that would
compromise the interests of Wheeling.
1t Is perfectly clear the candidacy
of individuals had more to do
with the action of Convention
which we denounce as undemocratic
in every particular, than anything else.
And now we submit that when the in
terests of candidates and the interests Of
the city come in conflict which are the
people, and which is the Democratic
party going to sustain? 1t is a pointed
question and has meaning.

The Rev. W. H. H. Murray says: IF such
LADIES' us Miss Dickinson and our own Mrs.
Barry continue TO study for the stage and
adopt the theatrical profession as theirs, WI.
not the stage be revoiutionized, and become a
source OF pure and healthy entertainment p
That lts possibilities for good are immense no
one who knows the craving OF human nature
for tne spectacular the humorous and the
tragicsi, can deny and for one we feel that
tbs time is coming, and speedily, too, when the
stage viii be purged OF the coarseness which
has CHUNG to It, not because OF anything i'm
pure N itself, but as relic OF az eaiher and
coarser age IN morals and literature. 1t is evil
dent that the prejudice against the theater on
the part OF religious people is wearing away
not because they are growing worse, but be-
cause the thsatsr is growing better and Is beng
better understood. We, therefore, from a
moral point Of view, hail Miss Dickinson's
debut, and trust that others o. like character
and genius may follow her example, until the
stage shall be lifted above the suspicion OF
reasonable people and become source OF
profit aud pleasure to the public"
