strong Johnson, his successful COMPETE
tor, may be in the interior OF
tho state. his nomination certainly
weakened the ticket decidedly in Ohio
county. Scarcely a Democrat was met
who did not express regret at the re-
suit, while many were indignant. On
the contrary all the Republicans agreed
that Johnson's nomination would be
worth many Republican votes in Ohio
county.
Garden has a peculiar strength. His
vote in the rural districts would have
beeu immense, while in Wheeling he
would have had some degree OF strength
that no other Democratic candidate
can control. Not only Ohio county,
but the entire Pan Handle, will regard
his defeat as o slight to this section.
In the early hours of yesterday q
great many expressions OF approval and
Satisfaction we're heard as to McCor-
Hes nomination, but Of these the large
majority were based on the general be-
lief that McCorkle for governor meant
Garden for auditor. There were some
who suspected the McCorkle support
ers Of bad faith in the matter, but at
this distance no definite idea could be
formed Of the justice Of this suspicion.
That the authorship was the center
OF interest in the convention for Ohio
county was shown by the way it mo-
nopolized conversation all over town.
Some Of the many expressions heard by
reporters are given below:
CITY Clerk Thoner-Garden has my
sympathy. / don't like the result. 1t
Will weaken the ticket, at least in this
part OF the state. 1t won't lose
than 200 votes in Ohio county for the
ticket. I think.
Assistant City Clerk Will Fee-The
picture Of Garden in this mornings
Rgtar did it. That would defeat any
body. You ought to hit it a crack in
the morning.
THenryschonck said: When did Ohio
county ever get anything OF any &C.
count from a state convention, any
how?"
Deputy Circuit Clerk John Walton-I
heard that with a good deal Of regret.
WANTED to see Garden nominated.
George Bayha-ohio county is all
right to pay taxes and that's all.
Platoff Zane-It was a great disap-
pointment, and l am afraid it was a
mistake.
Dennis o'Keefe said, just after the
news Of Gardens defeat came: Now,
il Mr.. Riley's friends in that delegation
arc for him in earnest, they can nomi.
nate him for attorney general"
G. F. Brandfass-I am sorry to see
Garden beaten, but l think much of the
outcome can be attributed to the people
who ran the campaign.
William Laughlin-I think it was
all wrong, SO far as l can hear.
N. ]. O'Kane-The nomination Is all
right SO far as that is concerned. john
son is a good man, but l would rather
have Garden nominated, of course.
G. R. Behler-0h, l hoped Garden
would get it, but l suppose Ohio county
could not expect it.
Leo Riester-0h, I was not sur
prised. lnever expected Garden to be
nominated. I bet two Of the delegates
before they left for Parkeraburg that
Ohio county would not get as good an
office as that.
The Average Democrat = Who is
johnson, anyhow?
William Love-It suits me first rate.
1never was a Garden man.
Thomas NJ. Darrah was not found,
but the prevalent report that he wept
when he heard of Gardens defeat was
found to be without foundation in fact.
.. P. Brown think they passed.
over q good man. Ohio county's three
candidates for positions on the ticket
no doubt had something to do with it.
The county cannot expect three good
things. She has not had much luck in
the past.
James Burns, jr.-It suits mo SO no
is a good Democrat 1t was II shame
tho way they treated Garden, though.
A well known friend Of Gardens
said: "late spent $1,000 or $1,000 max
ing Eis canvass, and he was entitled to
recognition. They can nominate a man
by any means they please, but let's SEQ
uthey can elect him."
Said another: Its tho game old
story; the same old snub to this end OF
the state. As o Democrat ] am ready
TO join a movement to rebuke that cus-
tom and down the ticket, Just for the
moral lesson"
This sort Of expressions, indeed, were
common. One Democrat advocated re-
wing the old movement toseparate the
Pan-handle from west Virginia and
unite the counties with Pennsylvania.
We never get a thing that Is worth
taking" said he, ''aud all the West Wiz.
Glnia legislation discriminates against
this section"
Mr.. Joe Zoos said: 81 hope tho state
will go Republican this year, and / bo-
lleve it will. II you want to put me
Gown as saying 80, you may. The first
disaster will be to John D. Pendleton.
Then Ohio county will go Republican
IN spite OF anything. As long IS the
present two managers and the present
ring run things We will meet disaster,
and We will deserve it. They beat
Andy Patterson, thcy beat John Corco.
ran and now they have beat LOfe Gar
oen. Next they will beat the party,
ana then we will have a change, and l
tell you it is time"
Nearly, If not quite, half the delegates
osue FRrKersburg convention arrived
nome on tho delayed 8 o'clock Ohio
n 10 say they were warm is weak.
1hsy we're only interested in Garden,
ahd they were all the hotter because he
