the - counties Of the State are repre-
Sented with about 60 delegates. The
meetings of the Alliance were secret,
but in conversation with a delegate to-
night your correspondent learned that
the three sessions to-day were all oc-
cupied in preparing constitution to be
adopted. The Virginia constitution is
being remodeled and adopted to West
Virginia. The Alliance has had won
dcrinl growth in West Virginia, hav-
ing increased in one year from
nothing to $50 Alliances with
1900 members The object of the ALE
ance, as expressed by a delegate, IS to
obtain for the farming interests legiSla-

part In the campaign this fall. The
men in session here are fine looking
set. They have plenty of brains and
they are determined to win in the fight
they have undertaken. Many county
officers will doubtless be elected by
them this fall and several members Of

This morning the Adrertiscr gained all
Information in regard to the Brumlield

last night, Paris Brumfeld, John Brum-
field, Charles Brumfeld, Al Brumield,
Jr.. Morgan Brumiicld and Howard
Frye were acquitted Of the charge Of
being the murdcrers of HALEY and
Mccoy and they are now free
men, and will never be held
to answer this charge again.
This case is famous one, and many
of the main details have been extensive
ly published. 1t will be- remembered
that last November Al. Brumfcld. Jr.,
and his wife were going to church on
horseback, up in Hart's creek district
OF Lincoln county. When passing a
certain clump of trees several shots
were fired at them, one taking effect in
the jaw OF Mrs. Brumiield, which did
not prove fatal. but from which wound
the lady has never yet recovered and 1T
is thought never will. The men who
fired these shots were Haley and Ne
Coy, and they fled into Kentucky,
but we're caught and forcibly taken
from the officers and shot TO death.
For this killing of HALEY and Mccoy
the BrumfcldS and Frye were arrested,
and the case has been on the docket

The jury had been out in the case for
several hours. but it was hntcd that a
verdict would be reached some time last
night. and true enough at o o'clock the
official proclamation was read declaring
the accused free of the crime. The
BrumfeldS. the AdrGtiScr is Informed
by friends OF attorneys on both sides in
the matter, had a good case, and proved
beyond any question their innocence.
The question will ever be. Who killed

FOR THE FARMER.
Ninth-We declare that the agricul-
tural interests are the mainstay and
support Of our dual system OF govern
ment, State and federal, and we ar
raign and condemn the Republican
party for its legislative discrimination
against this class which has greatly re-
duced the price OF farm lands and pro-
ducts; for its corrupt grant OF large
subsidies to special corporations. for
its efforts TO foster combinations, un-
lawful trusts and monopolies so oppres-
sive to the great mass of people for its
failure to enforce the laws against the
importation Of contract and pauper
laborerS.
\ VITAL ISSUE.
Tenth-Thc political issue to-day be-
tween the two great parties is more vi
tai than il was between the parties in
the days OF Hamilton and jefferson.
The Republicans have fairly outStripped
Hamilton in Capitalization OF power In
the hands OF few to use as they think
best against the people and to keep
themselves in power. The Democrats,
faithfully following jefferson. are
against Capitalization in all forms aud
for purity Of elections, the right OF local
Self-government and the continued free
dom and liberties Of the people.
The reading of the platform was in
.. IL nj NJ
its conclusion it was adopted without a
dissenting voice. Hon. j. w. st. Clair,
OF Fayette, then presented the follow
ing:
THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.
Resolred, That at the election held In
this State on the Sixth of November,
lsss, great frauds were committed upon
the ballot by the Republican party, and
i'm order to establish the will Of ma jor-
ity OF the honest and legal voters at
the said election the expense OF con-
test for the Office of Governor was
made necessary, and we commend the
action of our State Executive Committee
in inStitutng and carrying to successful
termination the contest for that Office,
and congratulate the people that Gov
ernor Fleming was, by the proper tri-
bunal, declared duly elected to said
Office, and minority candidate pre-
vented from uSurping the great Office Of
Governor of West Virginia.
II there had ever been doubt that
the Democratic party believed in and
approved the GubernatOrial contest. it
would have been removed by the man
ner in which the resolution was re-
ceiyed. No greater enthusiasm was
eyinced during the whole day than was
shown when it was read and declared
the sentiment of the Convention. Hon.
Ira Post. of Harrison, offered a rcSolu-
tion in favor Of the free coinage Of sill
yer, and made a forcible argument in its
advocacy. 1t was adopted, and with
these planks inserted the platform was

JUDGE LUCAS NOMINATED.
Not Single Dissenting Voice in the Con
Nentinn.

NenttOn.
The decks were cleared, and the con
vention proceeded at once to the real
work of the day. The roll of counties
for nominations for supreme Judge was
ordered. The call proceeded in pro-
found silence until Fayette was reached
when Hon. j. w. st. Clair arose. He
took the platform, but spoke briefly.
lie said that i'm behalf of the Democrats
of the county Of Fayctte, and the
Democrats Of the Third District. he
desired To name gentleman who they
thought was entitled to the nomina-
tion. a gentleman profound in law and
deeply yersed in the lore OF the courts,
the Hon. Daniel B. Lucas OF the county
of jefferson, great applause). lie had
no encomium to make, other than
TO say that the lawyers OF West Nlr-
ginia, both Democratic and Re
publican had confidence in the ability
and integrity of Daniel b. Lucas, and if
he were nominated the Third Congress
ional District. no matter what its differ
cnceS had been in the past, would be-
solid in his support. They wanted Mr..
Lucas, and they proposed to elect him
if nominated.
Greenbricr was the next county
reached, and Senator j. w. Arbuckle
seconded Mr.. Lucas nomination. Hon.
Henry : Walker, Of Kanawha again
seconded il, and provoked unbounded
enthusiasm by declaring that the Demo-
Gratis of Kanawha had buried past diff
ferenceS and there were now no Camden,
no Kenna. no Walker men, but every
living. breathing soul was Democrat.
So the roll call proceeded. {. {, Hig-
ginbotham, of UpShur. added another
word for Lucas, and then a Writ dele
gate was recognized TO move that the
rules be- suspended and the nomination
be made by reclamation. The motion
carried with round of applause and
Chairman TraverS formally declared
MIR. LUCAS THE NOMINEE.
Little more remained to be done.
Chairman Travers and Secretary West
inhaver were appointed Il committee TO
inform Mr. Lucas of the nomination.
The convention caught sight of Gov.
Fleming and called him out. lie was
received with great enthusiasm but
smoke briefly, referring to the tariff
question, and the situation III
the State. Congressman Pendleton was
also called on and responded in ring
ing address, predicting Democratic vic
tory. A motion to adjourn was made
and carried. Chairman TrayerS elo-
ouently thanked the Convention for the
courtesy with which it had submitted to
his rulings. The gavel fell and at

At Albany.

ALBANY, y. Y. August 13.-The men
claim they have detected the Delaware
and Hudson officials endeavoring to
move Central freight in violation Of the
promise made to District Assembly 2i6.
They say they did not strike without
due warning that the strike will extend
the whole length of the road before
night. The passenger trains are all
running and the strikers say they will
not disturb them. There is large
amount of periShablc freight here CON
signed to the Saratoga hotels, which
was all ready to go up this afternoon.
The knights claim that the action Of
the Central people in bringing ON Il
large number of switchmen from the
Michigan Central yards in Chicago will
at once extend the strike to the West
ern lines of the Vanderbilt system rs a
result. At noon the Delaware and liud-
son Canal Company's freight and yard
men except the engineers quit work as
though a signal had been given on that
road. 1t is said the Boston and Albany
and Fitchburg freight departments will
strike before night. Trouble is feared
here now.

New YORK. August l3.-The strike
situation remains practically unchanged
excepting that trains are coming I'm and
going out on time. They also say that
the running of passenger trains has re-
sumed the normal condition. The
suburban traffic still suffers. but as the
New York Central is notorious for the
poor accommodations furnished the un-
fortunates who live along its line, it is
not surprising that these trains should
be the last resumed. Mr.. Webb says he
has received numerous applications from
old hands. but will not under any cir
cumstances reinstate them. He
also saws he has received applications
from men on other roads sufficient
in number to man the whole Central
system. The firemen are employed but
they would consider change to the
Central an improvement. Atthe Sixty
fifth street yards the men are at work
preparing to send out more freight
trains to-day. The usual number sent
out from these yard mt this time of the
year - lIblu t4S III W N'u ""i'H' ,''N'
day five men were sent out and it Is eX-
pected that the number will be in
creased to-day. Freight trains are be-
Ing moved from st. Johns Park in
Thirtieth street The police are still
on guard at the Grand Central depot,
but to the ordinary observer there is
nothing to indicate That there has been
a strike.
Manager Touccy, when seen this after
noon, said that everything was running
smoothly Vice President Webb left
for Albany at 1890 o'clock this morn
ing, supposedly to look after matters
pertaining to the strike. All trains are
leaving the Grand Central depot ON
scheduled time. but a few of the incom-
ing trains are a little late.
