TO-DAY'S PRIMARIES.
EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR POLLING
THE DEMOCRATIC CHOICE
For District Officers and Selecting Delegates
To Mondays Conyen-
ton.

This afternoon between the hours Of one
and seven o'clock, the Democratic voter
of Ohio county will meet at the usua
places of voting to select from among the
names placed in nomination, candidates
for the various district offices, and also to
select three delegates from each of the ten
districts to the county convention, which
meets Monday morning. There has been
an unusual amount of interest displayed
all over the county, in the contest, and
especially have, the rival candidates and
their friends been active in the city
districts, the preliminaries being charac-
terized by friendly rivalry which has
kept the party leaders on the Qui rire dur
ing most of the present week.
This activity and keen interest
will have its inevitable result in
the polling of very large vote this even
ing, all over the county, and especially III
Washington, Union and Webster districts,
where the contest for County Commits
sioncr has combined with other causes to
put a numerous and alert body of workers
in the field The polling places in the
various districts are located rs follows:
Washington, Vigilant hose house, and Full
ton school house; Madison, Market house;
CLAW, Court House; Union, Atlantic en-
CINE house: Centre, hook and ladder house;
Webster, United engine house; Richie,
Eighth ward hose house; Triadelphia,
LlwsOn's hotel, Toll Gate, and Robinson s;
Richland, Brick school house, Glenn's run
school house; Liberty, Centre school house,
and Elm Grove.
Not the least result to be attained by
the primary is the selection OF the three
delegates from each district to the county
convention. This convention will assem-
BILE at 10 o'clock Monday morning at the
Court House, and besides selecting candi-
dates for the county offices will select del
egates to cast the 46 votes of Ohio county
i'm the Congressional convention which
meets in Clarksburg on the 7th of Septem-
Der, three Senatorial cOntereeS: nominate
four candidates for the House OF Delegates,
and, finally, to choose County Executive
Committee to serve for the ensuing two
years. 1t may not be amiss at this partlc-
ular point, to call attention to the fact
that this year the Senator will
come from Ohio county, thus giving
us five members in the Legislature. The
convention will be called to order by Mr.
J. S. NaylOr, Chairman of the County En-
ccutive Committee, and it is probable the
business to be transacted will take up the
major portion of the day.
Last night was busy one, rs all inter
ested were hard at work making the final
preparations for to-day.
The following named candidates have de-
clined to stand for nominations: Madison
district, Henry Neuhart, Henry Weisger-
