ROMSEr, W. Va, June 9O.-what ha.
become historically known as the "Rom'
ney Kick" was continued here by the
Hampshire Democrats to-day. The mag.
nitude Of the reyols can be Judged from
the fact that Collector MeGraw himself
took the trouble to come here 10 explain
matters before the meeting held At the
Court House this afternoon. Theresult d
the meeting, briefly. stated, Is that the
Democrats reaHirmed their position re-
lglrdirg the appointment Of Democrats 70
office; disclAimed any intention Of in
sulting Cleveland by cutting down the
pole, and listened to Mr.. McGtaW's ex-
IpIanation.
During the morning Mr.. MclJraw was
interviewed at his hotel by number OF
leading local Democrats, TO whom he ex-
lplained matters, and it was supposed by
some that there might be back-down on
the part Of the promoters Of the meeting,
but such vas not the case, and there Is no
Ieyidence that Mr.. MeGEaE objected 10
the meeting, rs It gave him IN opp0rtun-
proceedings were interesting.
The courtroom was crowded, and the
aSemblage included many from the rural
districts. Frank Ewers was made Chair
man and @. S. White Secretary.
3. W. Daley, JE., said Mr. Me6raw was
present and asked for him fair hearing.
Ar. AcGraW said he was ready 70 JUS
tify his acts, but he fst wished the meet
ling TO do whatever il was desired to do at
the time the meeting was called, after
action was taken, If nyindication was neees-
sary, he would speak.
