PAIEEHsBuEG, W. Va, June l0.-All
those in attendance at the Democratic
conference here to-day were big men;
that is, they are the big chiefs Of the
West Virginia Democracy. The net re.
suits OF the conference are that the State
is already redeemed, in the minds ofthe
pnrtici1 PANTS. As the Stale Journal puts
it, the conference was composed Of the
big and little guns, men whosarc in
office and men who want office; men
who ran the campaign and men who are
glad they are not responsible'for the way
it was run--all are here. A. Il. Fleming
laid aeide ,hareares OF Governor GoF $
office long enough to lend his presence.
Bill Dave Goshorn, erstwbile Of the
Greenback Labor, ct ceera party, Is
with them. Bob Carr ought to be here,
but is not. The object OF the conference
was to hear the reports OF the political
engineers on the problem OF making a
hali.dozen or more wings OF different
construction and propensities flap to-
gether on the same Democratic bird.
TIE BIRD HANDICAPPED.
The recent attempts at flight made by
this bird have been so disastrous that it
has been absolutely necessary to do
something with its flying apparatus
Chiet Engineer Riley, Of Wheeling, has
proved himself failure, and he is
likely to be replaced with new chief
,epeineer, but the wings are no more
iikely to flap in unison than they did at
the last election, notwithstanding what
must be confessed was very harmoni-
ous conference. ~
As has been stated, this was the day
OF the meeting OF the State Democratic
Executive Committee in the city, and
tho committee concluded to make 1t n
general pow.wow Of the State Den1ocra'
cy. Thereupon, they sent word 10 the
various county executive committees
and many other Democrats to be presens
and assist Mt the funeral. Consequently
the great statesmen began to arrive last
evening, and BY noon to day enough
were present to fill all OF the State,
county, city aud district offices in West
Virginia. .-.'
