form not Accepted.

'NAt'oh Va sho Ahot uiottiStt hclu ia viz
Marshall county court house at Mounds
villeyeHorday, resulted, as was gen orally
expected, in the denomination Of John
o. Pendleton, on the first ballot.
In some respects the convention was
notable. At times the confusion and
racket equaled anything on record In
this section, but on the whole tho pro.
ceedings were harmonious except rs to
the question OF the tariff, upon which
there was decided split. Ohio county
and other delegates desired for policy
sake to iugglo with words. to adopt a
plank in the platform which would mean
one thing In the interior and another in
Wheeling, aud to a certain extent they
accomplished their purpose, much 10 the
disgust Of less polite ones who desired
TO declare for free trade. A motion from
Ohio county TO strike out the tariff
revenue only plank was yelled out Of the
convention.
The Ohio county delegation packed
two cars on the Baltimore 4 Ohio &C.
commodation which left the city at s a,
III. The Opera House band was not
present as bad been announced it would
be, but a, Moundsville the crowd was
met by MeConkey's brass band, which
marched 10 the court house playing a
medley Of Little Annie Rooney" and
"Giddledewinktum Vice."
The court house had been handsome.
ly decorated with the national colors
and evergreen, this being the Joint work
Of Republicans and Democrats, tho un.
derstanding being that the decorations
are TO remain until after the Republican
convention on Friday. A portrait OF
Cleveland and another OF Cleveland and
Hendricks adorned the space about the
Chairman's dais. These seem 10 be the
Democratic stock in trade in the picture
line. Friday the walls will scarcely hold
the pictures II the committee cares to
use even 1.-THE Of the party's represen.
tative men. On Saturday the Prohibi.
ton County convention will wrap itself
in the solitude Of it's own self esteem in
the same roomy hall.
Yesterdays = convention was called for
10 Ia. m. The various county delegations
met in jury rooms prior to this hour to
make their organization, and 1t was a
few minutes past ten when somebody
tolled the bell to call in the faithful.
Rumors reached the main hall OF
feeling" in the Ohio county delegation,
which had chosen +. P. Jepson Chair
man and Ollie W Id Secretary.
DOWN TO BUSINESS.
District Committee Chairman. John
G. McEldowney finally called the con-
vsntion to order and introduced Col.
w. W. Arnett as the Temporary Chair
man. Col. Arnett was applauded; He
said few words OF thanks, and then
said that for long time the Republican
party had promised to revise the tariff,
but still the people are staggering under
load OF taxation, taxation OR every
thing from the material OF the infants
swaddiing clothes to that which entered
into the old mans collin.9 The party
seems determined to adhere to their
policy. More, it has invaded the polit-
ical rights Of the people. II another
Republican Congress be elected the
force bill will become law. There
never was tims when the Democratic
party should be more alert for the rights
Of the people than now. [Applause.l
That party has raped the ballot box and
robbed the district OF its rights by un-
seating the Representative it had elect
ed. [Cheers Tue verdict Of the peo-
Pile cannot be uncertain il We are wise
in choosing candidate to-day.
For Temporary SecretaryJ. 3. Stewart,
OF the Moundsville Sun, was chosen.
iH,rnn, Enrarnl HalIr rull nHnrad a

mittees, which was adopted.

lutions and propositions touching the
party policy be referred to the COMMITTEES

named John Edwards as page. This
was after Gen. Caldwell and Mr.. Wilson
had been obliged to carry up their own
resolutions.
Mr.. Robrecht moved that the roll o.
counties be called for the names O.
committeeman, which was done, with
the following result:
