Special Correspondence Of A<InieIiGenoz.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, August 5.-After
a hurried trip along the L. & 0. I am able
to give the views Of some leading Republi.
cans Of the "Gibraltar." Tie results
Of the late elections have been thoroughly
digested, and the party is hopeful, even
confident Of success in 's4. They feel that
hard work is necessary, though, and are
willing toEdoit.
J.F. Lewis, Of Quinnimont, Fayette
county. in answer to my inquiry said: ~
consider the idea OF conference good
one. Let US meet and become acquainted;
talk over plans and methods and have a
good time. It will do good and l will be
present"
Mr.. n. NJ, jenkins, Superintendent Of
the Fayette County Coal and Coke Compa-
ny, Stone Cliff, is enthusiastically in ia
vor Of the meeting, and suggests 1t be held
between the eighth and fifteenth Of the
month, not mentioning the month, as dur
ing that week the coal men have more leis-
ure; will be present at the meeting. He
had no choice Of place.
Mr.. L. w. Nuttall, OF Nuttallburg, in
response to telephone message, met me
at the train. He thinks the idea good
one, and will attend. To the efforts OF
these gentlemen is largely due the great
Republican victory in Fayette last spring.
From the last named place to Charleston Is
quite jump, but it Is full Of Republicans
at this time.
Mr.. D. II. Willard, member Of the State
Central and Congressional Committees,
was the first gentleman met.
"What do you think OF the INTELLIaES-
CER's suggestion OF a conference, MIR. Will
laId?"
Mr. wILLARDs VIEWS.
"T think the idea frst-rate. II there
could be such a meeting for a free inter-
change Of opinion and renewing Of old
aequaintainces, it would be Of great bene-
fit lido not think personal ends could be
subserved as there would be no authority
to bind. You can state that Col. ]. L. Nc
Lean, OF Putnam, was in the city last night
on his way home from the East, and he is
favor OF the conference and means to at
tend. IthiAk the expense will be con-
sideration and suggest White Sulphur as
the place OF meeting"
J. W. Malcolm, bright young lawyer
Just moved from Hinton to this place, con.
siders II a frst.rate idea; especially since it
is the very thing the Democrats don't
want. ~, &
Major G. W. Patton, ex-United States
Marshal wSs in bis office hard at work
when l bade him good morning. After a
pleasant chat OF some time ! asked his
opinion OF the suggestion.
Conferences all do good, !" he said. "In
q frank interchange OF opinions there
Is always more or les hope. There Is now
o better feeling in the rank and file than
ever. We should hold it. Point Pleasant,
I think, would be the best point. The
Third needs some help and We should
have larger delegation there than else.
where"
CHAIRMAN BuRLEw rAvoPs TT
Across the hall I found Mr.. A. Burlew,
Chairman Of the Congressional Committee:
"Think the idea good; 1t can do no harm
and may do good. Anywhere on the line
OF the @. 80. would answer for the meet
ing point. White Sulphur is the best
place, perhaps, as 1t is common ground
and the citizens could take some enjoy
ment outside the talk"
Mr.. H. @. McWhorter thinks Il good
thing II nominations are not talked over.
1t will do us good to have an old-fashioned
lovefeast.
Colonel 7. B. Swami, found In his Office
on Kanawha street Alter kindly greet.
ing and some pleasant "reminiscences
made known the object of my call.
~ think that suggestion very apropos,"
said he. THE Republicans owe 1t to them
selves and party to meet, interchange opin-
ions and straighten up differences that
have no foundation; or, at least, should be
forgotten. Wear goihg to be the banner
Republican district OF the State, and that
before long. Parkersburg is the most &C
cessible point"
JUDGE browns OPINION.
Judge Brown looks none the worse for
his vigorous campaign, and thinks il the
conference were largely enough attended
It would be successful. P&rkesburg or
White Sulphur would be good points. y
w. s. Edwards, Secretary Of the Con.
sressjonal Committee, thinks the idea to
Be a good one theoretically, but fears Its
practicability. The expense ot the trip
and the time consumed in going and COM
ing are strong pointa against it.
Mr.. K. Deyendort says: "If such
conference can be held, made up OF repre-
sentatiyes from every district, 1t will
strepgthen the party, and 10 the best thing
that can be done: The State is bound to
20 Republican some day. and tue time can
Be- materially lessened by harmony and
hard work. I am sure no Republican hav.
Inc the interests Of the party at heart can
have anything TO say against any attempt
at harmony"
all are heartily 10 tayor Of the meeting and
anxious to get 10 work for the next cam
