THE CONVENTION
urlp Fo.MoRRow AZ wEsToN,
A Resume of the Present sitpatiOn-Goa
Probably the NOmlnse-what the Feel
ing i.-HOw the Delegates from this
End Of the District will 60.

From present indications there will be
a large attendance at the Republican con-
yeution which meets at Weston to-mor-
row, There has never been more interest
shown in a similar event. Republicans
believe that the district can be held by q
wise nomination, and they seem unwilling
to take any unnecessary chances, From
every part Of the district come assurances
that the counties will be represented by
their most active men.
There can be no doubt but that the con-
yention will be for GoH, who Is regarded
BY Republicans and Democrats as the
strongest man in the district. General
Golf would be nominated with rush u
1t could bo said positively that he would
accept. The probability is that his name
will be presented anyhow, with aasur'
apces that he will not decline. Genera
GoH's intimate friends say that i the
nomination is heartily offered to him he
will take itand go In to win.
Several months ago, Hon. W. F, Hub,
hard, OF this county, who had been looked
upon as a strong possibility, announced ia
| ia friends that no did not desire to 80 tC
Congress ut this time, With the under
lstandinv that General Golf was of the
track, Capt. b. b. DoYener, Of Ohio, and
Hon. John A. Campbell, OF Hancock
were announced as asplrants. General l.
II, Duyal, of Brooke, was suggested, but
General Duval said he was not candi
date, and that Golf must run again.
Capt. Dovener has made an active per,
sonai canvass through the district, and
his friends, who are many and warm, de-
clare that with Golf out Of the way he
will sweep the convention. Some Of Capt
Doyener's friends are for GoE II he viii
have It, but others Say the matter hal
GONE too far for DOvener TO take u bach
seat; that he will be placed Ia nomlna
ton and fight made for him, win Of
lose,
those from Brooke and Hancock will
leave for Weston on the B, i 0 at 5;2;
O'clock this evening. 1t is probable thai
several OF the delegates from the rlyel
counties DelOW HeIt WIN Cuuie Wy tuIt
morning on the Ohio River road and join
their brethren from the Panhandle. Al
MouudsyilIe the Marshall county contin'
gent will board the train. All OF these
delegations will form q crowd, together
with those who go to look on, that will
number about one hundred.
There will be close connection made
at Grafton and Chrksburg will be reached
at / 80 o'clock tonight. The delegates
will spend tho night ut Clarksbulg and
leave for Weston at 8 O'Clock tomorrow
morning over the narrow gauge. Assoon
as the convention is over special train
will convey the delegates back to Clarks
burg, The fare over both roads has been
reduced to one fare or hnlf fare for the
round trip. In order to obtain this rate
orders for tickets must be obtained from
Mr.. W. j. W. Cowden. He will be Of
Lincoln club at 1880 o'clock thtsatern0on
TO furnish these orders to tho3e who have
not obtained them.
An effort ia beingmade by the delegates
from this county to obtain sleeping car
and have 1t side.traeked at Clarksburg.
This would enable them 10 get q good
nights sleep.
