The speech Of the Chairman, which was
first made, lasted for nearly an hour.
He caustically scored those who would

party, reckless whether their names
were linked with defeat or
triumph, If they could only be kept
in the public gaze TO be talked Of.
Harmony among leaders he held to be
essential to the success of party in this

the operation of new and better light

manhood. Ex-Congressman McComas

mis- OF Somerset, secretaries. The usual
committees were appointed and a recess
was taken till o'clock.
At 4 o'clock the convention proceeded
with its business. There were no con-
testing delegates.
The committee on resolutions report
ed a platform that endorses the Fifty
first Congress, reafirms the National
platform OF 1888; commendS the liable
and pure" administration of Mr.. Harri-
son, and "the brilliant diplomacy Of the
Department. OF State;" condemns "cheap
silver dollars" that cheats labor of
wages and the farmer. of values; charg
ing the State Democracy with plunder
of the State Treasury; denonncing the
State Registration law and demanding
its repeal, as also of 1.-THE vicious pay
certificates" which the present law COM
pels mechanics working outside the
State to buy or lose their vote; opposing
the leasing of oyster grounds; adopting
as the party emblem the profile head
and bust Of Abraham Lincoln; and
favoring the adoption Of "Such treaty
arrangements by the government with
countries 10 which we export our tobacco
crop as will secure the abolition or ma
terial reduction of foreign import du-
ties, and other government action
upon the same"
The platform adopted, nominations
proceeded and the names OF Harry M.
Clabaugh, OF Carroll county, and of Col.
William Van Mort, Of Kentucky county,
were presented. The President of the
convention, ex-Congressman McComas,
vacated the chair and withdrew

opposition TO his unanimous nOmina-
tion. Col. Van Mort was the unaRi-
mously nominated for Governor, and

LEAD TRUST MEETING.
The Reorganization Plan Adopted To-Day
Almost UnAnimouslY.


New YORK, August 27.-The Lead
Trust reorganization plan has been
adopted with practically no dissenting
votes.
The Lead Trust meeting was called
to order by President Thompson. There
were about fifty shareholders present.
Mr.. Thompson said that the stockhold-
ers had been called together to con-
slider the most important matter
brought to their attention since
the organization Of the Trust.
He then referred to the capitali-
zatIon OF the company, pronouncing 1t
excessive IL not outrageous. For this
the present management was not direct
ly responsible. Furthermore, the laws
of different States were now such that
in some of them the officers were liable
to arrest and imprisonment There were
now nine trustees, having very large
discretion aud responsibility. 1t was
desired that the trustees should be re-
lieved Of this responsibility and the
property of the company put under the
laws governing corporations IN New
Jersey.
The chief objection to reorganization
was the plan of issuing three million OF
6 per cent debenture bonds. This had
been urged In many quarters and by
many interests, and all but one gentle
man, TO whom the matter had been ex-
planned, had eoncnrred in the plan. The
trustees could have issued bonds II they
had seen fit. The right 10 issue bonds
under the laws of New Jersey was In
volved, hence IL was much better on ac-
count of the legal questions 10 put the
right to issue bonds in the charter.
The company owed S372, 364 on mort
cages and Sl49, 4S7 which the trustees
had advanced in connection with the
purchases of various properties IL was
| desired to issue bonds TO liquldate this
Indebtedness. The balance OF the bonds
would be held in the treasury for speci-
fed purposes. The company at times
had TO be borrower of money TO carry
on its business. 1t must either restrict
its business, or in some way must have
the power of borrowing money. The
company owed 500, 900 less to-day than
on January /. The amount would In
crease because business would increase.

WESTON, w. Va, August 1.-THE
Democrat will tomorrow contain the
following reference to the sad death OF
an inmate OF the asylum: Last Satur~
day at the Hospital for the Insane, VIM.
f. Cook, patient 81 years Of aged, ad-
mitted from Wood county in August
last, met his death in an unfortunate
manner. He was suffering with dysen-
terry, and went to the bath room
the purpose of washing himself.
He got into the bath tub and turned the
water on, but was so thoroughly de-
mented that he had not sufficient mind
to regulate the proper temperature.
The result was that he was badly scald-
ed, from the effects OF which he died
Sunday morning. The circumstance
was entirely unavoidable, and no blame
can be attached to the officials on ac-
count of negligence. In ward where
thirty or forty inmates are confined 1t Is
difficult matter to watch the move
ments of each patient, and this is the
first instance of the kind that has ever
occurred in the knowledge Of the Demo
crQt."
