The Business Mems Boom Not Roaring
Niagara.
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The drift of the
news that reaches Washington is that just
now President Arthur is gaining strength as
a Presidential candidate and is likely to cut
a more serious figure in the convention than
was predicted two weeks ago. Still it is
not believed by close observers that he has
dozen chances out the hundred to win the
nomination. Blaine still has the CALL with
perhaps forty out of the hundred and Ar
thur, Edmunds, Lincoln, Gresham, Harri-
son, Hawley and Logan following in order.
ArthurS interests are in better hands than
those of any other candidate. Besides, the
fact that he is to be President for nearly
year yet gives him a powerful leverage. The
business mems boom, worked up i'll New
York by Secretary Folger, was started at
ad time.
Going the other Way.
The recent banking and speculative
crashes have not added prestige to the voice
of New York business and financial men
nor enthusiasm to their expressions. They
are, as a rule, too busy looking out for num-
Der one to have much spare time for poll
tics. Besides, the whole thing bears the
stamp of of a manufactured boom, worked
up to order, and is not going to do any
good in the end. The business boom with
prominent Republicans appears to be in the
other direction First Grant comes down,
almost pitifully. Then drops Sabin, the
Republican chairman. Smyth, the Albany
Stalwart, makes an assignment. The Pres
ident himself lost money in the recent
furry in New York. Governor Foster, of
Ohio, has been a heavy loser during the last
two years in various speculations, and is no
longer the independently rich man he was.
Blaine's book is filling up hole in his
pocket made by Northern Pacific.

The 6reenback Convention at Buckhannon

Quarrels.


BUcSHANNoS, 2l.-The fight is over and
the fusionis,s have won. 1t was bitter
fight full Of personalities and viii not be
quietly submitted to by the best class of
Greenbackers. Up to a late hour last night
and all this forenoon the Greenback dele
gates were in secret session at the court
house with closed doors. A doorkeeper ex-
ercised the most rigid surveillance aud only
known delegates were admitted to the holy
Of holeS. What trauspired in the
secret session in all iis details has not vet
been made known, bat it is acknowledged
that most bitter and violent wrangle oc-
CURED over the question diffusion. The fu-
Sionists, by dilatory and flibustering move
m9ntS, DELAYED action until the arrival of
the noon train, which would bring them re-
Inducements. At u o'clock the Ohio couu-
" delegation and a lot ofAtkinsons proxies
arrived, and gave the fusionists the ascen-
denCv
The Convention.
The Convention assembled at , o'clock
and it was at once evident that there was
considerable of the vital fluid on the face of
the moon. Ex-Mayor Scott Riley, of Clarks-
burg, presided temporarily. Freer, of
Ritchie county, was made secretary. The
permanent organization was effected by
making J. II. Burtt of Ohio county, chair
man. Mr.. Burtt made really eloquent
speech in accepting the chair. 1t was re-
ceiyed with much enthusiasm by all fac
tiOuS.
The Convention then elected j. F. Ran,
dali Spencer Sturm, W. d. Goshorn and S
II. Piersoll delegates to the National Con.
vention at indianapolis. When the nomi
nations for Governor were reached the
names of FarnSworth, of Upshur, Maxwell,
of Harrison, and Barbee, of Mason, were
placed before the Convention. Barbee
withdrew in favor of Maxwell Immediately
an uproar ensued and one of the most eX-
citing scenes ever witnessed in q Conven-
ton followed Men were speaking at
the top of their voices and gesticulating
wildly. Charges of fraud and corruption
were made in the most positive terms.
Sale and corruption were on the tongues
ofscores. Finally after several hours of
quarrerng vote was reached and Maxwell
was declared the nominee BY vote of
seyenty-nine to fity-nine for Farnsworth.
The other places were quickly flied as fol-
lows: Auditor, J. H. Burtt, OF Ohio county;
Treasurer, Spencer Stun, of Marion county;
School Superintendent, Kendall Of Wood
county.
No other nominations were made, and
the convention adjourned in an uproar
The Atkinson crowd are jubilant, and the
anti-fusionists savage. The feeling tonight
is intense Piersoll, Of the State Standard
is loud in his denunciation of the whole
affair, and threats to repudiate it are nu-
merous and earnest. The friends of Max
we'll vouched TO the convention for his SYM
pathv with Greenback notions on questions
of finance as well as all others Fogg, Of
Michigan, who is here as a StraightOut
Greenbacker. declares the whole thing the
most open and corrupt thing he ever saw-a
direct sale to the Republicans.
