KEYSER CONVENTION
THE REASONS F0R B0LTING
Examined and Reviewed.


of this Congressional District,that a
Congressional Convention was held
by the unterriGed Democracy at
Keyser, commencing on Friday,
August 18th, at which every county
in the district WAS represented ex-
cept Pendle,on. The Executive
Committee failed to call a Conyen-
ton 10 elect delegates, and 10y reason
of this, the county was not represent
ed; but it is truly wonderful that
Mr. Lucas financial agent with his
great success in manipulating mat
tiers Of this kind, so as to secure
men to vote for Mr.. Lucas and
thereby misrepres6nt the people Of
the counties from which they hailed,
did not get up delegation from
Pendletou. It can only De accounted
for by the fact that the people were
SO thoroughly in favor Of Judge
Hoge in that county, that a cor
poral's guard could not be procured,
In number Of counties men were
found to attend the convention as
delegates and vote for Mr.. Lucas
who did not represent the people OF
the counties from which they hailed,
the Democracy Of these same
counties being almost solid for Judge
Hoge, and now only, by ways and
means that are dark can more than
. a score be secured to vote for Mr..
Lueus. The Executive Committee
of Pendleton County however knew
the sentiment Of her people to be in
favor OF Judge IIoge, and authoriz d
Mr.. pennybacker to cast the vote ia
the convention for him, but Mr., i.
did not come to the convention
had he done so we would not have
permitted him to vote, as it was al
together irregular and without pre-
cedent.

arrival Of lhe delegates was the as
