Hon. D. Leonard has been select.
ed as Chairman Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee. We
are more than gtatiiedat the selec-
ton, and more particularly so, as
the Parkersburg Sentinel has Of late
been making war upon Mr.. Leon
ard, and doing its best to read him
out Of the Democratic purity. We
suppose now that the Sentinel will
be content to let Mr.. Leonard serve
his party in this official capacity.
We congratulate Mr. Leonard upon
his signal victory over his enemies.
With Mr.. Leonard as Chairman Of
the State Executive Committee,
Democrats may nov look for thor
ough organization Of the party in
every county in the State, and also
for an energetic and aggressive
campaign.

From this place, the steamer
Claribell which was chartered for
the occasion, took the Cleveland

such numbers as TO tax the capaci-

seemed so general and peryading
that quite a numberof earnest and

grand ratification.

principal ticket stations, and con-
Meeting at Lancaster and Circle

Mccullough and His Man "Bob."

THAT is Bob Pritchard, better known
IS "McCullough's Bob.'' He is the gov
ernor's dresser and has been with him
for about thirteen years. Bob has a
weakness for the ardent, and some
times gets little too much on board,
when the governor will discharge him.
But he is always taken back, for he
knows Mccullough WAYS so well, is SO
thoroughly familiar with his wardrobe.
and is really such a valuable dresser
that his occasional shortcomings are
forgiven. An instance of his value was
shown last year:
''You remember that Mr.. Mccullough
played Ingomar at the Boston Theatre
to Mary Anderson's PaI;henia. Well,
the morning of the day that the gov
ernor was to leave New York for the
Hub Bob turned up rather tue worse
for wear, and the governor summarily
dismissed him; told him to go off and
never show his face again. Bob went
away and Immediately sought Billy
Connor, to whom he related his misfor
tune. I'm fired for good, now," he
said. with tears in his eyes. s'The gov
ernor's awful mad" Conror knew
better, and so he told Bob to go home
and sleep until afternoon and then
como back and see him.
''1E the meantime the governor had
started for Boston without taking a bit
of wardrobe and was in a horrible stew
20 know what he should do. Miss An
derson, who was on the train, suggest
ed that the next day they could get up
early and 90 to some costumer's in
Boston and get something that would
do. This did not please Mae much for
he is not an easy man to lit, you know,
but he thought that was the best thing
that could be done. He reached Bos-
ton in an uneHviable state of mind, and
put up at the fremont House -
"Where was Bob, all this timc?"
'.Hold on and L will tell you. Bob
went home and slept, and went to see
Connor in the afternoon. Connor told
him TO get together everything that the
governor would want in ''Ingomar,"
.nd 60 to Boston on the night train,
and 60 10 the governor nj his hotel in
the morning IS though nothing had
happened. Bob did so. and when the
governor came down stairs early the
next morning there was Bob sitting at
the foot of the stairs. Hello. Bob!"
said Mr.. Mccullough, ''liave you got
everything all right for ''lrgomar?'
Yes, sir replied he. lust as you
told me, Sir"
..You ought to hear the governor tell
the stcTyt when / saw Bob sitting
there THAT morning." says he, Il felt
that l could have put my arms around
him and huggcd the Scotch suss." -
