Thirteen for Cleveland.

In the;great freeze-out convention to
be held in New York state to-day in
honor OF George Washington and David
Boulangcr Hill, Grover Cleveland will
have thirteen delegates.
1t is to be a Democratic convention.
Grover Cleveland is u Democrat. He is
the most popular man IN his party, out.
side OF his own state. He is the presi-
dental hope OF the masses OF his party,
de is the embodiment OF their idea OF Il
specimen free trader.
He has the courage Of his convictions.
He has money enough to get along on
comfortably, and a well maintained
avoirdupois. He has about everything
a Democratic aspirant to the presidency
could ask for but the support OF his own
party in his own state.
Only tho fateful thirteen stand by
him. What is the meaning OF this co,
incidence? Can it be that in spite Of
the triumph OF Hill in New York Cleve-
land is to got tho nomination and once
more have the life drubbed out OF him
by Benjamin Harrison?
Everybody knows that thirteen is an
unlucky number. And in his own state,
right at home, in Democratic conyen.
ton! Mr.. Cleveland, who is known to

MoRdASTowH, w. Va, Feb. 10.--Thc
need OF disscctinC room separate
from tho regular university buildings
has been very forcibly demonstrated
during tho past few weeks. Tho room
now used for that purpose is adjoining
one OF the literary society halls and at
the last meeting they were driven from
tho hall by tho offensive odors. Count
ing tho health and comfort OF all con-
cerned it appears to DO very necessary
that some steps BIO taken towards pro-
riding tho proper arrangements.
A considerable amount OF ammunition
has boon received at the headquarters
OF tho corps OF cadets. This is intended
Tor target practice and will DO used ac-
cording to the recent orders issued from
the war department.
On Tuesday night tho Tenth Rcgi-
ment band, assisted by several ladies,
gave concert in Academy hall, and on
Wednesday evening Blind Tom enter
tanned large audience at the same
place.
The suit against DR.. Ogden, of Fair
mont, for malpractice being tried hcre
now, is attracting considerable atten-
ton. The testimony is SO extensive
that an extra session was held Thursday

pied the witness stand during the entire
afternoon and night sessions as expert

The Chicago Convention.


Chicago was not candidate for the
Democratic convention. If the conven,
tions came to her she would do as well
as she did in, 1854. That was q happy
solution to the question and Chicago got
the prize.
1t is estimated that local pocketbooks
will have to shake out from $4,000 tc
100000 TO meet all tho expenses falling
on the local committee. For this there
is tho honor, already secured, and there
are some thousands OF seats for sub,
scribers and their friends, not yet SO.
cured.
It's proposed to provide a wigwam tc
hold $4,000 persons. Chicago offers tc
give the national committee 5000 seats
and keep 1000 for herself. In 1851
Chicago had 1900 seats. Chicagois not
seven times as big as it was then, and
the national committee can see no rea.
for giving the enterprising Democracy
OF that great city seven times MS many
seats as it had when it was last in the
Democratic convention business.
Chicago hits back by saying that il
the Brice-Gorman-Hill combine wants
to pack the convention with its heelers
it will have to make other arrange.
ments." A neat compromise would be
to hold the convention in the lake,
where there is room for everybody to
get in.

This Is Hnrd.

Mr.. Bland and his silver brigade sus-
poet some dark and dangerous design
on the part OF certain of their fellow
Democrats, and they are doing their
best to have it understood clearly that
no schemes can be schemed success
fully until they are permitted to know
exactly what is to be tho status OF tho
silver in the house. 1t is not that they
love free trade, but silver more.
Unless terms be made with the silver
men tine Democratic party will be in
bad shape to do anything in the house;
and no terms that can be made will make
the Democratic situation much worse
than it would be without terms. This
IN odd state Of affairs, but this is the
way it stands. It would not be so hard
to bear if the presidential election were
not SO near at hand.
