PARKERSBCRG, July ~ hAciusNe'J J.
A few struggling delegates and trio of
sleepy reporters boarded the $50 train over
the Ohio River road this morning, and for
the succeeding FIVE hours made their way
slowly and painfully southwark toward the
metropolis of Wood county, arriving here at
high noon. We found few evidences Of to-
morrow's convention on reaching our desti-
nation. To be sure, the somewhat limited
hotel accommodations were pretty much
pre-empted, and the painfully con
Spicuous stranger could be seen
here and there wandering dis
consolately about i'll the rain and mud, but
all told the delegates and wire pullers did
not number three score, and everything was
at sea as 10 the
Programme to be Submitted
to morrow. Reinforced by the Wheeling
folks and the quite respectable cargo Of
politicians picked up en- route through
Marshall, Wetzel Tyler and the other coun-
ties having dockage on the Ohio, the quiet
Old town began to assume an air Of llveG-
ness and hustle, which was further aug
mented BY a large delegation which
the B. / o., landed at the
depot at lao p. m. three hours behind
time Among these latter were Wcs. At
kinson P. ". Morris, Sam Mccormick, n.
y. Hoffman, of Morgantown, and num-
Der of
other High Priests,
who all professed the utmost confidence
that Harmony with circust poster II would
prevail and that winning ticket would be
placed in the field.
There is quite boom for H. H. Flick for
Governor, but he is quoted as saying he will
not accept the nomination. He is willing,
however. to go on as Supreme
Judge, long term, and he can
he safely put down for that. For his as
sociate, Judge Brown, of Kanawha seems
10 have the pool, and these two will make
strong and probably successful team.
Flick is Especially Strong
in the Eastern Panhandle, and Berkeley
county delegates now here say he would
sweep that couny-FaulknerS home-by
500 or 500.
For Attorney General John Hutchinson
seems to monopolize about all the talk,
although there are a few who insist
that George B. Caldwell would beabout the
proper thing. John Frew, for Presidential
Elector-at-Large,
WllIHSve Walk Over,
unless all signs fail Said Postmaster
Evans, Of Martinssurg, when spoken 30 on
he subject: "Berkeiy is solid for Frew, and
! think he will have little or no opposition.
As to the GOveruOrship we are undecided.
Flick could get our solid vote, but he is out |
Of the race. John W. Mason has more
friends than any one else; and will probably |
get there. For the SupFeme Bench we are |
favorable TO Flick and Judge
Brown, Of Kanawha They would |
have 10000 majority, and with them |
on the bench the Court would have some |
thing to tie to in the way oS honesty and its
kindred virtues
j. X Thompson, the "deadeye" states
man trors Putram is here, sad is vigorous
" booming Col. Mclean, OF biscounty, for
Governor. Mclean is a new Richmond,
md stands as much chance of Being strack
" the GubernatOrial lightning as Archie
Campbell-sRd that is no chance at all.
Next to Mclean,
Thompson Favors MaxwslI3
He SAYS it is all bOsh about Wilson polling
anything in excess OF his party strength in
he KanawAa Valley The worhingmen
viii vote as they have always done--strictly
With their oId party associates.
Judge Brewn, OF kanawha, who e down
or place On the Supreme Bench; is rath-
,r inclined to think the Fusionistsare in
be MAJORITY The talk Of Maxwelrs with
lrawing he thinks is without the slightest
Oundaticn. and is entirely out of place
Geo. ". Bowers, CT Berkeley, the yCnng
81 delegate to the convention, and > gsnial
,Sd cuItva sei gentleman, is
opposed as Fusion,
,yt from aBg personal objection to Max-
veil, but rom feeling that the two or
hree Thousand Greenbaesers in the State
.re not entitled 30 so much

ION. He thinks Faulkpers nomination
would be mistake, aud shat he wocid fail
