To the Editor Of The InielIigeheT.
SIR My attention has been called to an
article in your paper suggesting a confer
ence OF Republicans at some place in the
State, in the near future. Understand
that it is proposed that this shall be an in
formal conference to which all persons op.
posed to Bourbon rule shall be invited, for
the purpose Of considering questions Of in
terest to the public; Of reyiving old friend
ships and becoming better acquainted with
each other. Such gathering would GER
tainly be pleasant, and might be made
profitable.
Experience, however, has shown me that
the persons who collect at and do the talk.
ing In large assemblies are not always the
tru.st exponents OF public sentiment. As
was so truthiully and beautifully said by
Mr.. Garfield in his great speech at Chicago
in 1885, when he nominated Senator Sher-
man for PresidentI "We shall find below
the storm and passion that ca I'm level OF
public opinion from which the thoughts of
a mighty people are to be measured and ny
which their final action will be determin'
ed." It is aronnd the are,sides Of the tax
payers that We shall find the true grognds
Of complaint against the dominant party
in this State.
However, ! see no objections to the pro.
posed conference and will do what little |
ean TO make II success II one be deter
mined ubop, Yours Truly,

Special Correspondence ot the Eieligeieer.
PARkERsBURa, July 3l.-The Republi-
cans Of Parkersburg believe in the ability
Of the party to carry the State next year.
They are planning with that end in view.
To-day l spent an hour with such tried
aud true Republicansa as Judge Loomis, ex-
Governor Stevenson, White, Of the
Journal, Ex-Governor Boreman, 7. o. Bul.
lock and Postmaster Scott. All are con.
fident the success OF the party next year
depends alone upon unity OF purpose and
concert OF action, q good ticket and an az
gressive campaign. In reference to the
suggested conference you already have Mr..
Whites views.
Ex. x.Goyernor Stevenson said: TosuCh a
gathering Of Republicans l can think OF
no reasonable objection. All will admit
the necessity for the exercise of great dis
cretion In the management OF such a gath
ering. II FAUST not be conducted in the in-
terest OF any man or set of men. 1t would
be wise TO arrange program, before the
meeting OF the conference, A very careful
and thorough canvass OF the matter
should be made, and i any considerable
opposition is discovered, theproject should
be abandoned at once. II a meeting be
held extraordinary efforts should be made TO
secure attendance from what are popularly
denominated the back counties. This /
consider OF vital importance.
Judge Loomis: ~ am very much in
sympathy with the suggestion, and regard
il as q valuable one. Carried cut in the
spirit with which 1t is proposed, the party
would derive immense benefit from it
Cer.ain things must be guarded against,
but these may be prevented by judicious
management. / believe the fullness OF
time has come for the Republicans OF the
State, and this meeting properly taken ad-
vantage Of, will put US on the highway to
success e
W. ii. II. Flick, q. s. District Attorney:
Yes, l believe It will bea good thing. We
don't want any slebbering, give away reso.
lutions, or foolish speeches, but good old
fashioned love feast that will enthuse the
party and insure success"
]. W. Vandevoort: II think 1t Is good
idea. Itneedscareiul management though.
There is no reason why We should not car
ry the State with proper effort"
Hon. J. A. Hutchinson: l think 1t
would be o good thing. l am in favor OF
II, but must insist on the most judicious
management OF the meeting. A minority
party should not expose its plans to the
public. Let US have the meeting u gather
Ing, Of earnest Republicans, and good will
result. 4
Ex-Governor A. I. Boreman: do not
care at this time to express an opinion. l
have had no time to consider the matter.
Such meeting may be of great injury or
lasting benefit to q party, and requires the
most judicious management.

HARRBBuRo, Pa, August 1.-The Dem
ocratic Convention, the dullest which mer
old in the party history can remember, to
day nominated Robert Taegart for Auditor
General and Joseph Powell for State Treas
urer. 1t has been gathering Of new men
chosen under new party rules, and has
from the start been anybody's convention
1t degenerated into being nobody's con
yention. The one effort Of every one
interested in Democratic success has been
able to smothcr the smoking feud be.
tween the young administration, which
has ignored all the men most entitled TO
Ia confidence, and the young element oi

tion last fall, and which has been offended
not only by being persistently ignored but
by the appointment OF Attorney General
Cassidy, whose name is identified with
the most disreputablc periods OF Democrat.
ic history in Philadelphia.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The anti.administration people were led
by young Chairman Hensel, Of the State
Committee, while Senator Gordon, the
still younger satellite Of Pattison and Cas-
sidy, shed the reflected beams Of the
Executive upon wondering ruralIdelegatee.
The smouldering embers Of this quarrel
did not burst into flames In the
organization and the nominations.
The administration, more by accident than
design, has had Its own way. Hensel,
however, has been made the most promi.
nent oil the young leaders Of the party by
the cordial outbursts Of applause which the
rank and file OF the delegates have repeat
edly given him during the day. Indeed
the only enthusiasm displayed at all by the
convention was infused into these personal
tributes to Henssl.
The absence oil the greater party lead ers
and the lack Of anything in the party ma
chinery to fight for made it impossible for
the brooding quarrel to take any wider
range than this.
THE PARTY LEADERS.
Randall kept away. His rival, Wallace,
had purposely goneaway. Cassidy skow-
ed himself but for moment in an OBJ
scure corner, and Lieutenant Governor
Black kept in the distant background.
Thus the aspirants for the United States
senatorship, which the Democrats some
time hope to capture did not invite dis.
elimination in applause. The nomination
for Slate Treasurer is strong; not because
Powell Is II strong man, but because he Is
eminently respectable and brings high local
standing to back him.
He has served one term in Congress and
Is President { the Towanda bank
Taggart was an accident to-day
and will not count in the
campaign. His only strength Is
that be comes from the oil region where
he Is ranked among the opponents OF the
Standard Oil Monopoly.
