Club Convention Of Wednesday.

The Democracy of this district and State
will rally in Wheeling in force this week,
and for the ensuing three days the hotels,
and the headquarters of the various party
organizations and of the State Executive
Committee will be crowded to their fullest
capacity with enthusiastic and earnest
workers for Cleveland and Thurman
and believers in relief from war taxa
ton. Once these representative mem
bers of the party are present, the
long and varied list Of attractions TO be
presented by the State Fair can be de-
pended upon to keep them here during the
entire week, and they will torn notable
and conspicuous addition to the throng OF
strangers with which the city viii be
filed.
A warm and hearty welcome will be ex-
tended TO these political visitors, and care
will he taken that in addition to nomina-
ting the next Congressman tomorrow, the
next State Senator the ensuing day, and
having o good old Democratic revival
meeting, in the sessions of the big Club
Convention, the strangers will have q
chance to look about town, and see the
blooded stock and anomalous pumpkins at
the Fair, look on or take part in quiet
little parade by the local Democratic or
CARNATIONS, and have q &c neral good time.
The fist thing in political way, is the
Congressional Convention, which is to as.
semble tomorrow morning, at the Capitol
rink, the headquarters of the Central
Democratic Club. The interest in this
Convention, as matter Of course, Is in
tense, as there are quite number Of CAN
didates who are exerting themselves to
the utmost to secure the nomination there
to be made. The more prominent candi-
dntes, and those who have been doing the
most work, are Hon. ]. ]. Woods and
John o. Pendieton, of this county; Col. ID.
D. johnson, of Tyler, and J. @. Palmer, Of
Brooke. A. A. Lewis, Of Lewis, has with
drawn from the contest in favor OF
Hon. K F. Kidd, whose friends are
doing good work in his behalf
Others who have been more or less prom
inently mentioned in connection with the
domination are Col. Robert White, Col. w.
w. Arnett, Hon. A. ]. Sweeney, ]. d.
Hobbs, and Judge ]. ]. Jacob, Of this city
and county; Judge G. d. Camden, of Har-
risou, and Capt Robert McEldowney; Of
Wetzel. Col. Benjamin Wilson, whose
friends all over the district are ready to
fiy to his standard in q moment, is not
mentioned with the others, because the
Colonel has declined to allow the use of
his name before the Convention. But
such destinations have often proven Of no
avail before, and there is no telling what
will happen, if the leading candidates lock
horns ami stay there.
Delegates TO the Convention will begin to
pour into this city this morning, and by
this evening most of them will be here.
With them will come dozens Of delegates
TO the big Club Convention, which will be
convened at ten o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. probably in the Grand Opera House.
This will be one of the largest political
assemblages ever got together here, and
will be made up of representative Demo
Gratis from most of the counties of the
State, who will come as the delegates Of
organizations representing tens of thous-
snds of voters. This Convention
will be addressed during the day
by some of the best speakers within
and without the State, includ-
ing Senators Kenns and Faulkner and
Representative w. l.. Wilson. In the even
ing there will be parade by the Young
Mems and Kenna Clubs, in which perhaps
other organizations will join, and incl
dentally there will probably be some more
speaking
The Senatorial conferees for this district
will meet at the rooms Of the Young Mems
Democratic Club at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning, and will there select q candidate
for Senator. The candidate comes from
Hancock county this time, and Mr.. Bax-
