has this to say of the Keyser Convention pro.

county delegates:
The reader is requested to examine mo>

proxies from Taylor who were appointed in
the very manner authorized by the only con-
vention held in that county and the letting
in of Democrats from Preston who didn't
pretend to have been appointed by any sort
OF convention. The reason of such an in.
detonsible proceeding was this. no doubt:
The Taylor proxies were Lucas men, Hoge's
vote would be increased by keeping them out;
the Preston contestants were Hoge men
Hoge's vote would be increased By letting
them in. Anything to beat Lucas.
