BLAINE DELEGATES ELEcTED---A STRONG
PLATFORM ADOPTED.

FAIRMoNTy w. Va, May l6.-The
state convention to select four dele
gates-at-large to the national conven-
tion at Chicago convened here this
afternoon, with Hon. John w. Mason
OF Taylor, as chairman, and M. j.
Holt, of Lewis county, secretary.
Hon. John Frew, of the Wheeling In
teuigencer; Judge Ralph Berkshire,
of Monongalia county Col. T. I'll. b.
Swami, of kanawha, and Capt. G. B.
Smith, of Wood, as delegates. at
large, were elected by reclamation,
| and l.. Il. Wade, of Braxton; Chas.
L. Elliot, Of Webster, Chas. r. Te-
ter, of Barbour, and Maj. Henry g.
Flesher, of Jackson county, alternat-
es. There were no instructions. The
DELEGATES were, by large majority,
in favor of Blaine. The delegates
will carry out the wishes of their
constituentsby supporting the Plum
ed Knight, they being all regarded
as Blaine men. The following is
from the report Of the Committee on
Resolutions ave demand that the
imposition of duties on foreign i'm
ports shall be made not for revenue
only, but that in raising the requis-
lite revenue for the government such
duties shall be so levied as to afford
security to our diversified industries
and protection to the rights and
wages OF the laborer, to tue end that
active and intelligent labor, as we'll
as capital may have its just reward,
and the laboring man his full share
in our national prosperity. Against
the so-called economic system of the
Democratic party, which would lie.
grade our labor to the foreign stan
dard we enter an earnest protest,
and we pledge ourselves to revision
OF our present laws restraining for
eign immigration as will prevent the
introduction of underpaid foreign la
Dor to compete with home labor. We
challenge the wisdom Of the present
national administration in recon
mending through it's chosen head
the abolition, or radical reduction of
the custom duties on coal, lumber,
wood and salt, four OF the principal
products of West Virginia, and we
are against the Democratic party for
its failure to keep the pledges it made
for wise revision of the tariff laws,
and for it's inability TO meet the needs
of a great and growing people. We
favor the establishment Of wise and
judicious system of general reduc.
tion by adequate appropriations from
the national revenues whenever the
same is needed, and denounce the
Democratic party for its hostility to
the same. Recognizing the ability
and valuable services OF our distin-
guished fellow-citizen, the Hon. Ma
than Golf, we recommend him to the
National Republican Convention as
a candidate for the Office Of vice pres

The Rotten Food Question.

We called attention yesterday to the good
that the Citizens Sanitary Association,
which has decided to make its influence
felt again, might do. DR.. Num-, at the
meeting Wednesday night, when the associ-
alton reorganlzed for work, pointed out
that the death rate among the white people
of the city was remarkably low, while
among the colored people it was very high.
There are reasons, of course, why it
should be higher among the colored than
the white people, but it is certain that it is
good deal higher among the colored peo-
Pile than it ought to be. One of the reasons
for tho high death rate among them is be-
lieved to be the Embellishments of much
of the food which they consume. Unwhole-
some food causes disease, and there is rea-
son for saying that there is good deal of
that kind Of food sold In this market
DIR. Bulloch, at the Wednesday night
nesting, said that dressed chickens, which
were unfit to be eaten, were sold AS soon
as the chickens show signs of being af-
flicted with some disease, they are killed
and brought into market. OF course
somebody buys them, and it is not improba-
bio that sickness, that cannot be traced to
any source, is caused by food of this kind
DR.. Num- stated that diseased meat was
sold, and from another source the statement
comes that rotten bacon comes here in large
quantities. 1t is scraped and washed and
sold to the colored people for price almost
equal to that of good bacon.
In the face OF statements like these who
will say that conscientious and thoroughly
competent inspector of all food articles sold
In this market is not neededl 1t is a crime
to sell articles of food which are calculated
to produce disease and death. A man vino
would traffic in such articles knowingly
ought to be severely punished.
But the testimony is that rotten food is
sold in this city, and it will continue to be
sold unless steps are taken to prevent it.
What does council intend to do in the
natterl 1t bias the testimony of two
physicians that disease producing food is
disposed of to the poor who donot know its
dangers, and it is probable that great
deal more testimony on the same subject
can be obtained. Docs it intend to dc
nothingg Does the Citizens Sanitary AS
ISOLATION intend to let the matter rest where
it isl If so, it would have been just as well
to have said nothing about it, If, however,
the association is in earnest, and is ready t.
serve the public, it will not rest until it has
forced tho council to take such action as
will make it impossible to dispose of rotten
food in this market
