LOGAN G. H., W. VA, August TO-
The Democracy Of tho Seventh senate
rial district, composed Of the counties
OF Lincoln, Logan, Raleigh, Wyoming,
Mcdowell and Mercer, assembled in
convention here to-day. It was typi-
cal Democratic invention, and fairly
represented tho unwashed and inter
riaed DemocracI of tho Kentucky bor-
der, and do iall justice 10 LoHan's
unearned reputation for cuasing and
kicking.
As early "a Monday morning dele.

flowing with a crowd of Democratic
hustlers. while it required no second
glance to convince the timid stranger
that a life and death struggle was being
waged in the corridors and upper rooms
of the Hotel Brunswick. To the uninl-
tiated it was a fight between Daniel
Harmon, of Mcdowell, and G. T. Ma
hood, of Mercer, for the Senatorial
nomination from the Seventh Senatorial
district. but TO those who could get a

guage of Mr.. Mahood in his speech Of
acceptance, "the elimination Of con-
tlict that had been waged in every
county in tho state" 1t was the final
charge OF the last ditch brigade OF the
Camden-Fieming administration army
which was swept into ''inocuous disue-
tude" at tho Waterloo OF Parkersburs
and which landed Tive" Wilson, "Bilp

It ended here in another victory for
tho Kanawha combination, in scoring
one more point for Senator Faulkner
and the placing Of club in "Twe"
Wilson'S hands to be used in nm emer.
gency on the pate OF Bulldozer Anderson.
When the convention assembled Ma
hood stock was bringing a handsome
premium. Chairman "Att" Sanders,
OF Wyoming, called the convention to
order, and after stating that there had
been no legal call for this convention
declared "the id thing adjourned
forever" This declaration was received
with wild shouts OF approval from the
Harmon men, who picked up their hats
and started, while the Mahood men
yelled go, go; dam you; &C" and out
walked the entire delegations from Nc

OF that wild and .woolly sort which de-
lights tho soul of the Loganite. Goats
and cusswords were flying in every di-
rection, and the departing braves
emerged from the court house yelling
"Hurrah for Payne and Harmon" The
Mahood men at once proceeded to Or
ganize the convention and get down to
business. "Wirt" Prince, OF Mercer,
was unanimously elected sergeant-at-
arms and the committee on resolutions
reported:
Resolved, That we reaffirm our alle-

that We pledge our hearty support to

The chair then called for nomina-
tons for state senator, and Mr.. Nc
Graw, Of Mercer, presented G. D. Ma
hood, Of Mercer county. A delegate
from Raleigh seconded the nomination
OF Mahood and moved that "this accli-
nation be made unanimous"
With IA wild hurrah Mr. Mahood-
declared the nominee.
The convention then adjourned to
the streets where bots OF two to one
were freely offered that Aahood would
be defeated.
The convention was composed largely
OF young men and compared favorably
with similar conventions in other parts
OF the state. Logan @. H., is a very
pretty little village and its people full
OF that generous hospitality for which
Virginians and Kentuckians alike are
famed. After meeting with the people
from nearly every section Of the county
it is our private opinion that "0ld
Logan" has been outra2eously lied on
by the West Virginia correspondent Of
the eastern papers.
