CHICAGO, jane 1S.-Tde West Virginia
delegation went into secret caucus this
morning, but the events that transpired
we're too rich and varied for some leaky
president manners 10 hold. All were pres
snt except Payne OF the Third district.
The delegation organized by electiDg Capt.
W. P. Hubbard, Chairman, Major Ii. G.
Flssher, OF Jackson county, Secretary, and
Col. Ham. Davis, (eolored) OF Ohio county,
Serveant-at-Arms. The anti-Sherman
mems programme went through but there
was war from the start. John Frew was
appointed member OF the Committee on
Permanent Organization and Judge Ralph
Berkshire made Vice President for West
Virginia
T. b. SWAMI on RESOLUTIONS.
For member of the Committee on Rsso-
lutions A. B. White, of Parkersburg, and
Col. T. B. Swami were both put in NOM
iustion. On the first ballot the vote was a
tie, when Mr. White withdrew in favor OF
his opponent, who was unanimously elect
ed. Charles B. Smith, of Parkersburg,
was chosen to the.cOmmittee to notify the
nominees The fun began ever the cleo
tion of a National Committeeman. n. b.
Scott and Stephen B. EIkins we're both put
in nomination, the latter By Captain Cur
Tin, of Grafton. Then A. b. White arose
to demand something for the Fourth dis
trict.

He WAS tired of Ohio county raking in
everything, and put c. B. Smiths name
before the delegation. On the first ballot,
the vote was Scott 6, Smith 3, Elkins 2
On the second, one Smith man changed Ito
Elkins, and Elkins' name was then with
drawn and the third ballot resulted Scott
; Smith 4. After disposing of the Ma
,iOnal committeeman to their satisfaction,
the boys proceeded to reproduce, dust-off
and re6urnish the GoH' boomlet for Vice
President. The delegation resolved to
vote unanimously for the West Virginia
Republican idol, and instructed Col. I. b.
Swami, of Charleston, to place him before
the Convention. ]. P. Dolliyer, Of Iowa,
former West Yirginian, will second the
nomination. Hence the theorem. Afte'
the adjournment some impolite but viSor-
Ous terms were freely INDUCED IN by
the Sherman men OF the delegation.
They felt that they had got besuu-
fully and numerously left. 1t was Q
fight not so much against Sherman as
against his friends, and they have right
to feel sore at the treatment they received
Il is evident that there is an element that
fear that the nominatiCI of Sherman would
give the PArkersburg Jo.TRGl and its man
azer greater prestige il Republican eoun-
ellis, and they will fight them TO the bitter
end. 1t was TO this end that Swami, VINO
is warm friend of While, was put in NOM
nation against him for member OF the
Committee on Resolutions.
