STATE CONVENTION
FIxING THE PLACE.

The next matter was where the con-
vention should be held, and this was
the tug of war. Mr.. Vincent made
a strong and eloquent appeal for
Huntington, showing up her advan-
tages in the way of hotels, public
buildings and Democratic hospital
ity, In excellent style.
Mr.. Gallaher put Charleston in
nomination.
Mr.. Armstrong spoke in favor OF
Huntington.
Mr. Riley nominated Parkers-
burgh, and addressed himself warm
ly on her central position, and the
great convenience it would be over
Huntington from the upper end of
the State and Eastern Pan Handle.
He knew Wheeling could not get it
as she had it the last time, therefore
he would not occupy the time of the
committee in trying to get it there,
but he hoped that Parkersburr
would be selected.
MIR. Leonard seconded Parkers-
burg.
At this point Mr.. Gallaher with
drew Charleston and favored Hun
tington.
Others spoke, after which a vote
was taken resulting in Parkersburg
getting it by vote of five to six.
Suddenly Mr.. GaIlaher remember
ed he had Mr.. Montgomery's proxy,
and request to reconsider the vote
prevailed. The next also was in
favor of Parkersburg, when one OF
the gentlemen who had voted for
Parkersburg changed his vote for
Huntington. This made it tie.
Then Huntington's friends became
aggressive and succeeded in getting
another Parkersburg man to relent
when eventually Huntington was
chosen by reclamation.
The basis of representation for
each delegate to the convention was
fixed as in the call for delegate con-
ventions.

tant business looking to the thorough
