HAWKS NEsr, W. Va, August 4-I
have read with interest the correspondence
on the conference project, and have heard
expressions of opinion with regard thereto
from good many Fayette County Repub-
licans, aud. while few have said that the
meeting would do the party no good, l
think am safe in saying that a majority
Of them favor 1t. Some have suggested
that there will be trouble in getting the
Republicans togetherit the meeting is held
on the B. & o. r. X. They argue that the
Third district will not be properly repre-.
sented, and that this, the "Gibralar Of
Democracy" is the very place that should
be cared for. think that II the meeting
we're held on the @. & o. r. r, say at White
Sulphur Springs that it would do much
towards inlusiug little more enthusiasm
into our friends who have so long been
staying away from the polls, crying, 1--WE
have no chance; what good will my vote
doW There are great many sore and dis.
gruntled Democrats in this district They
thaye all sorts OF factions and rings, and
there Ia very little harmony. The reassess.
ment act and the taxation OF the calves and
hogs, have convinced great many think.
ing Democrats that they have been voting
in direct opposition to their interests.
And, SO, taking the tariff question which
is doing good work for kspublicanism,
Ii is surely not impossible in next
year TO make the Democratic majority
Al tnN
ably less than 1t was in May.
1 hope the conference will be held in the
the Third District, and that the Republic.
ans from the other parts Of the State will
come down and get acquainted with us and
with what We have " contend With. It
can't do harm, and may do much good.
