ANOTHER BIG BLAZE,

Elizabeth, N. j., Destroyed.
ELIZABETH, N. j., May THE Singer
sewing factory was discovered to be on
fire late tonight. The entire fire de-
partment responded, but their work so
far has had little effect, and at midnightit it
was feared that the main building, which
covered acres of ground, would be de-
stroyed. The works employ $500 per-
sons.
At 2 a. m. the main building is nearly
destroyed and the fire is spreading rap
idly. 1t is likely that the entire factory
will go, in which case the loss will be
several million dollars. Great excite
ment prevails in the city, and thousands
of people are viewing the fire.
At 3 a. m. the fire is under control
The loss is estimated now at So 600, 900.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
A Magnificent PIatform-.Judge
Lucas Nominated,

The convention was late in re-
assembling, and later in beginning
the really important business of the
day. 1t was fully two o'clock when
Chairman Travers again raped the
delegates to order and called for the
report of the committees, which had
been in session during the dinner
hour. Hon. Alfred Caldwell, of
Ohio, was recognized, and presented
the report of the Committee on Gre
dentials and Basis of Representation.
The latter was fixed on the Demo.
cratic vote in 1888, and as stated by
the Register this morning gave 7S5
votes TO the convention. The an
portionment by counties was read.
and the committee stated that there
were no contests, and the delegates
holding their seats, were entitled to
votes in the convention. Major e.
a. Bennett, of Cabell, presented the
report of the Committee on Perma-
nent Organization. 1t recommend
ed that the temporary organization
DC made permanent. The resolu.
ton was put and carried with a
round of applause, and Mr.. Travers,
now permanent chairman, again re-
sponded in neat address of thanks
The Committee on Resolutions re.
manned to report, and it was called
for, but the call was not responded
to. In few minutes word came
from them that it had not vet
finished its labors. A wait ensued
but the convention was in "a humor
for oratory and enthusiasm. Hon.
John Il. McGraw moved that com
mittee be appointed to invite
the Hon. William l.. Wilson to
address the assembled Dem
ocrats. The motion caught the
spirit of the convention. 1t was
carried with resounding applause.
and u committee was immediately
dispatched in search of the eloquent
Congressman. Another wait en-
sued, and the convention punctuated
1t with calls for number of the
prominent Democrats in the hall.
After quarter of an hour of this
throat splitting occupation, the com
mite arrived with Mr.. Wilson. A
ringing cheer went up as the dele
gates first caught sight of his slender
form advancing down the middle
isle, and it was repeated and
doubled until the massive walls
rang, as he advanced TO the platform
and acknowledged the grand ova-
ton rendered him. Never has d
West Virginia audience been treated
to grauder flow of eloquenoe from

acted as an escort for Hon. VIM. l..
Wilson aud Gov. Fleming. A mag
nificent audience awaited them at
the place of meeting. Over twelve
hundred people crowded the large
hall from wall to wall A few min
utes after eight the distinguished
guests of the association appeared
on the platform in company with
President Handlan and were en-
Enthusiastically applauded. Judge ].
NJ. jackson appeared a few minutes
later and as the audience caught
sight of their defrauded representa-
tive another round of cheers went
up TO be repeated and doubled as
the hands of the Second and Fourth
District congressman We're clasped
In warm greeting. On the platform
besides the gentlemen named We're
Hon. r. +. Kid, of Gilmer; Hon. X.
ii. Browse, of Peasants; Mr.. w. @.
Yeaton, of the local committee on
arrangements, and number of
prominent citizens of Parkersburg.
President Handlan spoke briefly,
introducing Mr.. Wilson, and another
ovation was rendered him ms, he
came forward. After briefly ac-
knowledging the enthusiastic greet
ing, Mr.. Wilson paid complimen-
tary tribute to the Den cratic clubs
and launched into eloquent discus
sion of the tariff question. He re-
viewed the iniquities Of the present
tariff system which he said extorted
and enormous surplus from the
people annually only TO be spent,
squandred aud -tiissipated in wild
and extravagaut Legislation. A
English state sMan once said that
while other people guarded against
the cncroachments of tyranny at
this or that point the great English
people guarded most against its adj
vance through the gateway of tax
alton. 1t wassa part of free institu-
tions that government should be
conducted on the most economic
basis, and no government could be
honest with the people that persist
ed IN collecting and retaining an
unnecessary revenue. MIR. Wilson
then took up the wooden, tin plato
and other schedules of the McKin-
ley bill and dissected them in a
masterful manner that provoked
round after round ofapplause.
At the close of Mr. Wilson's adj
dress Gov. Fleming was called for,
and responded in brief but happy
address, in which he touched on the
most important issues of the day.
Hon. II. F. Kidd, of Gilmer, and
Judge j. NJ. jackson were also call
ed for and made short but vigorous
talks.

THE PLATFORM

AT the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson's
address, the Committee on Resolu-
tions announced that it was reai y
to report. Ex-senator Henry g
Da . as chairman, and in pre.
sci an, th. eport made a short adj :
DIRE $. Mr.. Davis reviewed the
financial extr; vagance of the Ma
tional administ alton, and declared
that we would ave an empty treas.

much further toward the centraliza-

move was ever attempted by the
most extreme men during the late
war. L believe that even Wade

against the people and to keep
themselfln power. The Democrats,
faithfully following Jefferson, are
against Capitalization in all forms
and for purity of elections, the right
of local government and the
continued freedom and liberties of
the people.
The reading ofthe platform was
interrupted with frequent cheers.
and at its conclusion il was adopted
without a dissenting voice. Hon.
j. W. ST. Clair, of Fayette, then pre-
scented the following:
Resolved, That at the election held
in this State on the Sixth of Noyem-
Der, 1888, great frauds were.commit-
ted upon-the ballot by the Republi-
can party, and in order to establish
the will of majority of the honest
and legal voters at the said election
the expense of a contest for the of
nee OF Governor was made neeessa-
ry, and we commend the action of
our State Executive Committee in
instituting and carrying to sue
cessfui termination the centest flr
that Office; and we congratulate the
people that Governor Fleming was,
by the proper tribunal, declared
duly elected to said office, and a mi
nority candidate prevented from
nsurping the great Office of Cover
nor of West Virginia.
If there ever had been. a doubt
that the Democratic party believed
in and approved the Gubernatorial
contest, it would have been removed
by the hearty manner in which the
resolution was received. No great
er enthusiasm was evinced during
the whole day than was shown
when il was read and declared the
sentiment of the convention.
Hon. Ira Post, of Harrison, offer
ed a resolution in favor OF the free
coinage of silver, and made forci-
BILE argument in it's advocacy. 1t
was unanimously adopted, and with
these planks inserted the platform
was complete.

LUCAS NoMINArED.
Not a Dissenting Voice.

The decks were cleared, and the
convention proceeded at once to the
real work of the day The call
proceeded in silence until Fayette
was reached when Hon. J. w. ST.
Clair arose, and went to the stage,
and in u brief speech nominated
Hon. Daniel B. Lucas. He said
that in behalf OF the Democrats of
the county of Fayette, and the De
mocracy of the Third District. he
desired to name a gentleman who
they thought was entitled 10 the
nomination, gentleman profound
in law and deeply versed in the lore
of the courts, the Hon, Daniel B.
Lucas, of the county of Jefferson,
(great applause) He had no eco.
MUM to make, other than to say
that the lawyers of West Virginia,
both Democratic and Republican
had confidence in the ability end
integrity of Daniel b. Lucas, and
If he were nominated the Third
Congressional District, no matter
what the differences had been in the
past, would be solid in his support;
they wanted Mr.. Lucas, and they
proposed To elect him if nominated.
Greenbrier was the nest county
reached,and Senator ]. w. Arbuckle
seconded Mr.. Lucas nomination.
Hon. Henry S. Walker, of Kanawha.
again seconded il, provoking un-
bounded enthusiasm by declaring
that the Democrats of Kanawba had
buried past differences and there
were now no Camlen, no Kenna, no
Walker men, but eve"y living,
breathing soul was Democrat. So
the roll call roceedcd. C. C. Hig-
ginbotham, OF Upshur, added anoth-
er word for Lucas, and then a Writ
delegate was recognized to move
that the rules be suspended and the
nomination be made by reclamation.
The motion carried with a round of
applause and chairman Travers
formally declared Mr.. Lucas the
nominee. Little more remained to
be done. Chairman Travers and
Secretary W.estinhaver were APP
pointed committee to inform Mr..
Lucas of the nomination. The con.
vention caught sight of Governor
Fleming aud called him out. He
was received with great enthusiasm
but spoke briefly, referring to the
tariff question, and the situation in
the State. Congressman Pendleton
was also called on and responded
in a ringing address, predicting
Democra ic victory. A motion to
adjourn was made and carried.
Chairman Travers eloquently ard
ably thanked the convention for
the courtesy with "hich it had sub
mitted to his rulings. The gavel
fell and at 4 o'clock sharp the con.
vention adjourned sine die.

none, he will mallea representa-
tive whom all the people of the
District would be glad TO honor.
A man of temperate habits with
no political animosities, no wounds
received in former political con
tests to be healed, no political
enemies to placate, he could and
would make an aggressive cam
paign from the start and we be-
lieve would be elected by such a
majority that even Speaker Reed
aud his plant tools aud minions
would not dare to reject.
With MIR. CAPEnART as oar
nominee we will go into the fight
u lited and enthusiastic, with tie
certainty that victory will perch
upon our banners.
With MIR. CApEnARr as the
nominee the farmer and the fax
payer will feel a personal and T.
naneial interest in his success, such
as no other candidate spoken of
could inspire, for well they know
that

a distinguished assemblage of Dem

from Grafton brought over two
hundred and they with the Ohio

large numbers and nearly four hum

club organizations and counties in
which club organizations have not
been completed, were in the CITY by

number of young men noticeable
among those in attendance. 1t was
a convention of the vigorous and
