ADAIsY CONVENTION.
Vets and Drys Contest for Supremacy in
Grafton.

SPECIAL 7elSord1a 70 ne R<cSisr.
GRAFTON, w. VA, August 1.-THE
Republicans held their primaries
throughout the county yesterday, 10 ap-
point delegates TO the County Conven-
tion, TO be held IN this city on the eth.
The contest was between the license
and anti-licenSe people. Both parties
have made thorough canvass OF the
county, aud in some districts every Re-
publican voter was out but one or two.
Both parties are claiming the victory.
In Grafton district the entire fifteen
votes will be cast for license commits
sion, and West Graiton's fourteen will
oppose license, with the remainder OF
the county about equally divided.
The delegates as appointed taqor
l.. Nj. LaFallete for Prose
cutting Attorney, against John II.
Holt who has made a most bitter, fight
for il, he having at least 40 delegates
out Of the 65 appointed. The conye D.
tion at this place was amusing TO say
the least. When p. IN. arrived the
"drys" were in full force and the Chair
man OF the Executive not being present,
T. +. Blur one Of their prominent lead
ers moved that VIM. Morgan another
"dry" be made Chairman with Profess
or Angis Secretary. A motion was then
made TO make DR.. Leeds editor OF the
Sentinel Assistant Secretary and after
two or three efforts toward getting n
ballot he was declared elected by small
majority. This was another victory
for the ''drys" giving them
the entire organization. The next fuss
was about the number OF delegates and
the manner of choosing them. About
this time about 10 ladies appeared, some
carrying their babes in their arms, filed
in and took their seats near the Chair
man. This seemed 10 cause the vets to
renew their fight. AT various times
Democrats, OF whom there were good
number In the hall were accused OF vot-
ing, followed by proposition TO put
them out. Men who had been voting
the Republican ticket all their life were
challenged All were at last required
TO register his name aud swear allegi-
ance 10 the Republican party iefore he
was allowed TO vote. Ninety names
were presented, A. vets and A. drys,
the vets having a majority OF twelve.
Nearly every Republican In town, IN
cluding the Il colored voters were
present 1t was a daisy convention.

from naval and military divisions, and
patriotic organizations to-day joined In
the funeral procession OF Charles w:
Riggin, bOatswains mate of the United

At least 100000 others silently

terry, while several thousand more who
were permitted TO enter the cemetery
listened to the funeral Grafton and SER
mon and witnessed the religious SER

One Kind of Postal Law for Democrats
and Another Kind for Republicans.
Special Telegram to the Re0Istr.
PARKERsBURG, W. VA, Aug. IA
The State of West Virginia is being
flooded with an alleged supplement
called Reciprocity and Protection,
which is being given circulation folded
in Republican local papers as a supple
ment.
Reciprocity and Protection" claims
to be a regularly issued newspaper, en-
tered as second class matter In New
York city at the post Office Of that city.
1t also claims to have a regular sub
scription price of one cent per number.
The alleged newspaper contains lew
advertisements, but is made up
Of Republican political matter. At
least one of the papers circulating
in West Virginia which has been send
ing ont this campaign literaure Tor the
administration, is owneI, edited and
published by Postmaster in an sdjoin-
ing town in Ohio. No Postmaster has
had the courage, honesty and integrity
TO put a stop TO the circulation OF this
campaign stuff at regular newspaper
rates, but when a Democratic newspa-
per was ffered at the POstottice in this
place containing the New York World
supplement, which contains no adver-
tiSementS, 1t was refused admission to
the United States mails st pound rates,
by the Postmaster here. When the
Reciprocity and Protection paper was
shown him he admitted IL was
unlawful TO send IL through
the mails at regular newspaper
rates, but he will not look up the paper
which sendSit out, although he knows
well enough and has been informed
that it Is being done daily, and doubt
/ less knows that one Of the editors is d
postmaster himself, for fear Of the dis
pleasures Of Wannamaker and Harrison.
According to this postmaster, who it is
to be presumed is authority, the post
Offices of West Virginia and the ma
chinery Of the Government is being
daily prosttuted, and the laws daily
violated in the interests of Harrison.
BY his action this postmaster virtually
says that there Is one kind Of postal law
for Democrats and another sort for Re-
publicans.
This is one Of the most outrageous
abuses OF the postal laws conceivable,
bat it would appear from the recent in
reference in National and State Con-
veutions by the officeholders and the
United States Marshals and their depu-
ties that the machinery of federal courts
which are in the hands Of such men
would only be used to protect and de-
fend the viovations instead of furnishing
them, and that an appeal TO the statutes
would be useless.

FALL RIVER, MASS, August 1.-THE
Borden murders are the great topic here
yet. City Marshal Hilliard has heard
nothing from Prof. Wood, who is ana
lying the stomachs Of the victims and
comparing the spots Of blood on the axe
and carpet.
The police to-day have been engaged
in chasing down clues and testing state
ments i'm many letters sent 20 the Mar
shal. 1t is Lizzie Borden's side Of the
case that is now attracting the
whole attention OF the police. II
is not thought now that the prelimi-
nary hearing set down FOR the 22nd
inst. will be of long duration. 10 has
been the policy OF District Attorney
knowlton, in his handling Of capital
crimes, TO give as little evidence as pos
sible until the trial takes place. Attor-
ney jennings. who. beyond question be-
lleves I'm the innocence OF Miss Borden,
will do everything in his power 10 have
q full examination at the earliest dase.
Although Miss Borden is under arrest.
charged with perhaps the most heInous
crime committed In recent years, there
is little talk about the punishment that
should be meted ont To her. She is
finding supporters and friends Ia most
unexpected places. The talk Is almost
entirely regarding her chances OF prov
ing her innocence. This fact gives the
police authorities reason 10 think that
much OF the strongest evidence will
have TO be given before Attorney Jen-
ninCs will co.Spnt tO An order for hold
ing his client until NOvembar. II Is an
open secret in police circles that the
government officers believe that MISS
Borden was insane at the time Of the
murders, II she committed them.

MUYCIE, IND, August 14.-All's well
that ends well" is the good old adage
that applies to couple Of well known
citizens at Newcomer, this county.
For the past year George Thorp' a
young man Of the village, has expert
enced much trouble, and several times
administered a good thrashing to DR..
Eustas. whose daughter Thorp was en-
deavoring to court.
The men would waylay each other,
and at one time threatened the others
life, and carried revolvers, until the
community daily expected deadly duel.
1t has Just developed that by shrewd
scheme Thorp got the Doctors daugh-
ter away from home two weeks sihce
long enough for them TO go to Marion
and get married. Mrs. ThorP greatly
surprised her parents when she informed
them of what had tranSpired, asking
forgiveness.
The appeals to parental affection
were effective, and the Doctor relented
and gave his child his blessing, also as
suring Mr.. Thorp that ne would receive
the fotherly treatment Of the worthy
son-in-law he had proven himself to be
in so neatly stealing his. daughter un-
der the existing circumstances.
