Gathering OF tho 81. Louis Del
egnteS.

ST. LOUIS, June 22.-But comparatively
few delegates to the Democratic National
Convention have arrived yet. There is
really nothing to report directly touching
the struggle between the aspirants for the
nomination. No State delegations are
yet here except California, which came
tonight and took quarters at Barnum's.
Tomorrow others will arrive, and then
the contest will begin,
Augustus schell, Chairman Of the Ma
tional Committee, arrived this morning,
and is at the Lindell Hotel. Several
other prominent New York men are also
here, including Lieut.. Gov. Dorcheimer,
Hon. John Kelly, and two or three rela-
tiyes OF Gov. Tilden.
Hon. Montgomery Blair, ex-senator
Doolittlc, and a number Of prominent
gentlemen.from Indiana are among those
arrived to-day. .t
Gov. Hendricks headquarters will be
at the Southern and those OF Gov. Tilden
at the Lindell, and by Saturday lively
scenes will be enacted in each. Most Of
the New Workers SO far arrived seem 10
be opposed to Tilden and assert that he is
about the least available man among the
aspirants. They say he has lost
strength and influence in New York, and
that he can't carry that State while
Hendricks, Bayard, or almost any
other good man can.
The Executive Committee OF the
National Convention held meeting
to-day, but nothing except the
routine business relating to the
preparations for tho convention was
transacted. The merchants vacated their
hall at the close Of the change this
morning, and the room was given ". TO the
Hall Committee to put in order for the
convention. It will be very conyiently
arranged and handsomely decorated for
the occasion. It's seating capacity in
Guiding the delegates will be about
5000. There viii lbe accommodations for
150 reporters at the tables and space for
perhaps so more will be provided, but
without writing facilities. The telegraph
ic facilities OF the Western Union Com.
pany will be equal TO almost any emer-
gency; 25 to 80 wires will be run into the
hall and there will be no lack Of accom-.
modations to reporters,

A Big Time In Marshall County
on the Fourth.

From the Reporter Of Yesterday.
From all parts Of the county we receive
encouraging reports OF determination
on the part Of the citizens Of each locality
to participate on the obseryace Of the
approaching Fourth in this place. We
believe there will not 10 another celebra-
ton on this day held in tho county, or al
least there will not be more than ono or
two local picnics. Secret Orders, Schools,
and Grangers, all are going to turn out
en- masse to assist in rendering onr
county celebration 0 grand affair.
The various committees 10 whom
were assigned different duties-except
committee on music-held a meeting In
the office Of the Circuit CouO Monday
evening, and reported progress which
showed that they were at work in earnest,
and the partial reports were fayorably re-
ceived. The committee to arrange for
the Centennial soldiers, and Indians are
making that part Of the programme a sue
cess, and this feature Of the procession
will present 6ne appearance, no doubt,
as there will be about one hundred per-
sons dressed in Continental and Indian
costume. The selections Of ladies to rep
resent the several States and Territories,
have not all been made yet. Miss Min
mic Caldwell Is to represent the Goddess
OF Liberty and Miss Name Cans, "MOl.
Pitcher" GeorgeC. Knight Ia to be "Un-
Gle Sam," seated in sulky, drawn by a
mule and his oostume'is to be red, white
and blue. Al. Wayt is to be the aiunny
character" and make fun for the procGs'
sion, dressed in an odd costume. Mr.. vii.
liam Edwards has been appointed TO su.
perintend the roasting Of the OK. From
present indications, the County Celebra-

day will be a grand affair. We hope the
committee to arrange the music for the
occasion will be looking after this inter.
esting feature Of the day, and do their
part so that the arrangements will be per.
feet.
The point from which the procession is
to start will be designated in time, SO all
may know. We hope to be able to pub
lish the programme in full when the ar
rangements are perfected.

A ClxcrSNATI dispatch this morning
announces that the pressure of private
business will not permit Geo. II. Pendle-
ton, the great greenback chairman Of the
Ohio delegation to ST. Louis, TO be in ut
tendance at the Democratic National
Convention in that city next week. This
is an important announcement and one
that to us looks decidedly Thurmanish
as regards the vote of Ohio at St. Louis
It has been more and more obvious every
day since the nomination Of Hayes-the
man who laid out old Bill Allen in Ohio
last fall-that the friends OF the latter,
Notwithstanding the Ohio delegation is
instructed to vote for him at 81. Louis,
would never dare to nominate him,
even supposing they had the power to
do 80. They are not such incorrigible
fools as not to see that such nomination
would simply be their death warrant.
With Bill Allen as their candidate the
Democracy would rush to certain destruc.
ton in every Northern State. Geo. H.
PendIglon secs this thing as plain as any
body. He discorns great recoil Of the
rag money furore. He sees that that
wing of the Democracy is doomed to
defeat and humiliation at 81. Louis, and
he has no idea OF being on hand to have
his feelings hurt. This is the meaning
Of his pretext about pressure Of pri-
vatc business. Gentleman George is sim
ply getting out Of the way Of coming
eyents.

cinnati. We have accorded that honor to
Major Bickham, OF the Dayton Journal
partly because in so doing there Is GER
tain amount Of glory reflected on our
West Virginia soil, as the Major used tc
20 to school here, but the Moundsyille
Reporter now comes to the front with the
claims OF Capt, Criswell, latO member oI
the National Committee, whose one VotG
located the Convention at Cincinnati, and
thus, indirectly, nominated Gov. Hayes
for President. The Reporter Is somewhat
in error in this inference as to the conse'
quonce of the Captains vote. While we
accord due credit to the Captain for his
good judgment, yet it is nevertheless q
fact that Cincinnati was not a Hayes
town. The air was not Hayesy down
there to any noticeable extent, save when
Bro. Bickham went abroad in the streets
to take little exercise, or DR.. UpdegraN
expressed himself vigorously at the
Ohio headquarters. The feeling AT
Cincinnati was overwhelmingly for
Bristow. He was the candidate oi
her people. 50 that local surround
ihg' had very little direct bearing for
Hayes Tho fact however that Mr.,
Blaine was SO hOtly opposed at cincin-
natl by the two leading papers there
backed up by the public sentiment for
Bfi'lOW, did undoubtedly inure indirectly
TO Gov. Hayes benefit. weare therefore
willing TO see Capt. Criswcll come in for
a'mall slice Of the honor that attaches to
Brother BickhAm as principal owner of
the Hayes patent 1t will always DO u
curious speculation as to whether or not
Hayes would have been nominated at
Chicago or PHILADELPHIA.

" Of Monongalia, which this year Of
grace attains her hundredth anniversary,
In common with the American Republic,
whose Centennial birth.year We would

WE are informed that the Republicans
Of Sand Hill, Marshall county, at pub
lie meeting the other day, took occasion
to bc little rough on our friend Nc
Fadden, Of Moundsville, candidate fol
sheriff, because Of the fact that he nomi
mated Prof. Simmons (colorel) Of Par
kcrSbug, as delegate at large to represen,
the Republicans Of West Virginia in the
Cincinnati Convention.
We hardly see why our Sand Hill
brethren should be thus exercised toward
Nc on this account. The CIarksburg Con-
vention did entirely right to give the
colored people of West Virginia one
representative in the delegation to Gin
cinnati. We expect the votes OF the
rolored people as q class, and as class we
should recognize their right Of express
sion in the choice Of candidates. The
olium of negro suffrage is fully attached
to the Republican party and no body
need scare at it at this late day.
