CONVENTION,
IContinrcd from Frs Pagel

West Virginia, bordering on Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, with largely the same
climate, the same soil and the same rivers,
with her rich valleys, her ioreSss OF all
varieties Of timber almost untouched aud
her mines of coal and iron orc, only opened
here and there, and larger IN area and
quantity than those OF Ohio and Fennsyl-
Vania, is certain, under proper conditions,
to have and enjoy the same, or greater
degree Of development, progress 0 pros
perity than either of those great states.
While nature has done 50 mnca lor the
State man has done very little. with her
natural advantages West Virginia mas the
basis OF much that makes a S'ate great,
powerful and prosperous, ats people con-
tented and happy, still she has fingered IN
the march of progress and development
We who are sincerely interested ~ the pro-
gress of the state, should IN all proper
ways and by all proper means, make its
attractions, advantages and resources
| widely known. This will bring what Is
most needed and desired more farms,
more coal and iron mines opened, more
coke furnaces, more mills more capital,
more towns, cities, and q population
reaching millions instead OF hundreds OF
thousands.
The State has no debt. Taxes are low.
The people are liberty loving and law
abiding. For the most part they lead pure
lives. Crime is rare sndiwhen committed
il promptly punished. The laws are fair,
liberal and well administered. Under
them the rights Of the wsge farmers are
guaranteed, and capital isamPly protected,
II we DO our duty and make wise use OF the
gifts nature has 50 bOuntitully lavished
upon this fair State, happiness, prosperity
and progress will be the reward The
present Is suspicious.
Everything seems to point to success, tC
warrant confidence, encourage hope and
make the future bright Tor ourSel'es anc

WESTON, W. VA, February 29.-WorC
was received here tonight that the Demo

called the Camden Club, in honor Of FIX
Senator Camden. Dr.. j. W. Kidd wa

1t will be remembered that Rrax ton /
one Of the strongest Democratic counties il
the State, and never fails to give the party
nominees rousiDg majorities. The fact
that a club has been organized SO early
demonstrates that her people are alive Il
the best interests Of the party, and no op
p0rtuuity will be missed TO max,
the msjorities even larger this year thar
ever before. This is the first club that hal
been organized in the county, but il is sale
county will follow suit. The Democrat
of BraxtUn are certainly to I've congratula
ted upon their fidelity to the party and
the interest they manifest in making III
organization SO thorough. Some of tn,
best party workers in the State are to b
found there, and it is rumored that one o.
the strongest OF them will be before the
next State nominating convention as a
candidate for one of the prominent State
offices.

The Ohio Valley Life Company TO Remove
from wheeling, This Week.
The current week witnesses the removal
of the Offices of the Ohio Valley Life Com
pany, OF this city, TO Washington, ID. c.,
which will be, hereafter, it's headquarters.
While it is not possible, perhaps, to ques
ton the wisdom, from a business stand
point, of the managers Of this company in
making this change, il can but be with
regret that our citizens see the depsrtur,
Of an institution which, during now nearl,
ten years, has been q credit 10 Wheeling
has carried its name into distant State
where il has been engaged in business, ant
always in q way that has reflected honor
on our city and the business capacity o
the Wheeling men who have had the man

| Valley was organized the people Of thii
country were Just beginning to feel theil
way toward a system Of life insurance

ciples, should still come nearer to th,
means of the masses in the way Of cost.
We are glad that such q company hal
grown up in our midst, and while it goes
from US, we are glad TO be able to beal
testimony TO the fact that it goes from nj
with clean hands, a good record and in .
prosperous condition. Ia the officers Of
the company, our citizens and business
men will still form a connecting link be-
