MARrISsDURo, July 81.
Special Dispatch to the IntsllIEeuesr.
Martinsburg is alive with delegates to
: the State Democratic Convention, which
> assemblies tomorrow. Some old stagers
say that 1t will be the largest Convention
OF the party ever held in the State. Most
all OF the counties are now represented
and more are expected tomorrow morn
ing.
THE GUBERSAToRIAL FIGHT.
The gubernatorial contest has waxed
warm all day, and is very animated to-
night. Jackson has apparently gained de-
cided headway and his friends are very
confident OF success. He himselfexpress-
es great confidence.
JACKsoE's FAIRNoNT TRADE.
His speech at Fairmont is said to have
created quite boom for him. And speak
ing Of said speech it is said he used very
intense and bitter language expressive Of
his undying hate of the Republican party.
This may commend him to the Democracy,
but will be nothing in his favor at the
polls. A large minority in State are
entitled to somenobler feeling than hate
on the part OF a man aspiring to be the
Chief Magistrate.
YAULKSKR's CHANCES INJURED.
The defeat Of Martin and the selection
OF a Martinsburg man for Congress is sup.
posed to have injured Faulkners chances
for Governor. Still Faulkner's friends
talk confidently. 1t would seem that not
withstandiug all the fine talk about his
not being candidate for many months
past, he has been throwing dust in the
eyes OF the multitude, and has been in
dustriously laying the ropes all the time.
The consequence is that he has great
number Of delegates.
THE LATEST SENSATION.
The latest sensation tonight is that if
Faulkner's follosinS find bis nomination
impossible, they will go to JeRsrs rather
than permit Jackson to succeed, and thus
the friendly lightning will at last strike
the ex.Mayor. Tbs other Offices are the
subject OF vast amount of buttOn-holing.
o'BalKS's RAID on VESTS VoRuEs.
Tom O'Brien has considerable OF boom
for the Treasurership. Mr.. West, the in
cumbent, arrived on the scene of action
tonight, and IL said to have been Disagree
ably impressed with thS raid made by the
man from Tipperary on his strength. lie
and his friends have gone to work 70
counteract the movement It ia said that
the outcome OF the contest over this office
will depend on the order 10 which the
nominations are mAde, particularly II this
one is left to the last. 0'Brieu'a friends
seem TO have hopes OF success.
SUPREME JuDGEsHIP.
For the Judgeship Green has the inside
track for renomjuatiou. The bench ia
not considered any too strong as it is, and
the Democracy are aPpreheusiVs that il
they fool with the nominations they may
make laughing stock, and thus matsrlal-
ly injure their whsle ticket. Sam Woods
is here working up his chances, but it
seems az Il the tide IL tOwlrds Green.
No OPPOSITION TO NILLKA.
For Auditor Miller will have no oppo.
sitiou. lie il on the ground 10 watch and
ward of any sign OF All adverse bargain or
combination, and is apparently Just as
busy ~ The candidates who have opposi-
ton.
THE ATTORNEY GRERRAIsHIP.
For Attorney General, E. Windy Will
sou, Of Charleston, who stands Ia with
the Jackson crowd, seems to have the lead
oyst VISITS, OF the same place, who is on
the Faulkner Siate.
DAvIsFAULKNEa RiSd.
Speaking OF states there is much tai; OF
heavy DaviG.Faulkner ring. The nomt-
nat on Of Hogs at Fairmont is said to
have been part of the programme arranged
at Washington last winter. Gotwithstana-
ing all denial by Faulkner and others, the
suspicion is abroad that there was slate
fixed up, and there is an indefinite desire
to smash it on the strength OF this suspt'
cion.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
For Superintendent OF schools, Mr.
Butcher, of Randolph county, seems to
have the best chance. Mr.. Hough, OF
Brooke, has poor show, as two officers
to each Congressional district are talked
Of, and il the First district gsts the Cover
nor and Treasurer that will be its share.
If Jackson Is not nominated there will be
NEw DEAL
all around and Sands, Of Parkersburg, will
be nominated for Attorney General.
There is pretty large delegation from
Wheeling. Sheriff Tingle Is on hand and
looking grim and determined. Uncle Mike
> Reilly Is on hand to look after his position
J as Chairman OF the State Committee.
/. ANXIOUS FOR BAKER's SCALP.
1t Is said that Baker is buttonholing for
it, and that GslIaAer and Tipgle have their
guns loaded for him in. ease bis name is
' mentioned. They are for Uncle Nike.
Col. Ben. WILSON is also here, and also
. Col. Aleck Campbell.
a Uncle Mike will call the Convention to
: order at II o'clock, and John J. Davis will
be made temporary chairman. Governor
}. Jacobs will probably be chairman Of the
