There was no lack OF spirit in the con-
vention today. Men fought hard for
their fayorltes, but the majority had
determined not only to get good men
but to distribute them fairly, and SO it
has happened that somegood men were
left to fight with the thousands in the
ranks. Hall, of Kanawha, could have
had tho treasurership, because it was
felt that his county was entitled to rec
ognition, as he had developed great
strength in tho contest for auditor, but
he declined 1t. Kanawha could have
had it for any good man the Kama
whans had centered on, but though q
man was named from that county he
had not the support OF his delegation,
and this was fatal to him. The treas
urership contest was entirely Third
district affair and first rate man,
Payne, will go actively into the CAM
paign and be heard from on tho line OF
a fair distribution. The Fourth dis
tricE took with comparative ease the at
torney generalship, capable young
man who stands high as a lawyer. Bull
lock received telegram from home
saying that he would get 800 Demo-
cratic votes in Wood county,
BY common consent the nominee. for
Superintendent Of schools is the best
equipped man in West Virginia for the
place. He deserves every word that
was said for him in the convention.
Democratic school men are rejolced. and
he will get astrong support among them.
The nominees for supreme court are
excellent men and will do the party
credit. The more the ticket is talked
over the better 1t is liked. :.
Tho convention is particularly well
pleased with itself, because the ticketis
It's own work. More than once 1t looked
as though everybody was at sea for lack
Of direction. This was because there
was no assertion OF leadership to try to
force anything or anybody on the con-
yention. Some Democrats present no
ticlng that tho men regarded as leaders
were sitting quietly looking on congra::
tulated each other on the assurance OF
badly constructed tickot. A Democrat
said to me this evening that ho had
noycr seen a body OF mon work out 10
better conclusions. "You have made q
tickct OF business men and young men,
and you are going 70 give US trouble"
endorse tho sentiment. It will be q
troublesome ticket for tho West Viz.

Through and It IL strong in whole and
In part. Mr.. Davis will try to got to
avery county In the state, and as no
goes about, it will be seen that he is q
full sized man. He has kilograms from
Taylor and adjoining counties assuring
him OF tho biggest Republican vote ever
poIled in that rogion. Ho leaves to-
morrow morning for Parkersburg to be
nresent there Tomorrow night at q big
ratification mcctinE.
Captain Doyenor and some others OF
note will be there. Mr. Elkins would
have been there, but q telegram from
Washington took him off on the atser-
noon train. Delegates hayo left Tor
