Judge Bennett made many friends
while here, and created a strong
sentiment in his favor. We hear
complimentary remarks on all sides
and we believe he will receive the
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor in The Parkersburg Convention
and be elected in November by an
old fashioned majority.

Probably it willsbe news to DR..
Brown and his friends to learn that
he was marked for the sacrifice.
But such is fact. The Leader"
was going to remove HIM, but he
could find no one to accept the
Lucrative position" How sad :
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1892-07-14

The latest information is that Drg
Brown and Trippett have not been
removed by the "Leader" from
their Lucrative positions" But
authentic information records the
fact that the Leader" has been
removed by common consent.

Now that Preston has instructed
Tor Col. Monroe for Judge, VIC hope
that the State Democracy will view
our claims in the proper light and
grant us this recognition.

Democratic Convention

Pursuant to call as printed in the
HERALD, democratic convention was
held in the Court House, Saturday
last, for the purpose of taking such
action as would be for the best inter
ests of the party. There was present
]. Y. Whitcomb of Long Island,
Messrs lambeth, Mccoy and Bailey
of Marvin, Mr.. Rhoades of Dayton,
Mr.. Beckman of Belmont, and nine
teen from Phillipsburg. The conven-
ton was called to order by r. A
Handy who nominated Frank Mckay
for chairman Mr.. Mckay stated
that reports seemed to indicate that
the democratic party of Phillips coun-
ty was a fit subject for the services OF
the coroner and an undertaken, but
judging from the number present, the
reports were erronerous. He believ-
ed that the principles of democracy
were the true ones, and believed that
the party organization should be kept
up. 7. V. Whitcomb of Long Island
was chosen secretary. There seemed
to be some question as to whether the
party had a county organization Oh
not, and to settle the question, DR.
Brothers moved that the present or,
ganizatlon hold over until the county
convention was held. This motor
was opposed by Messrs ]. II. Handy
Barber and others, these gentlemen
claiming that in many townships nj
committeeman could be found, anC
that the party had no organization
whatever. The motion was favored
by Mr.. Baum, who claimed to holC
the Craftsmanship, until he was sue
ceeded by some one chosen at a dele
gate convention.
The contest was somewhat warn
and took the nature of a personal con
troyersy. the chairman called tn
speaker down. stating that they ha,
not met to settle personal quarreli
A rising vote was taken resulting il
ID ayes to IL nos. As this seemed t
settle the question that the party ha
an organization, a motion to adiour
was carried by rising vote of Is t
