RAyESswooD, w. Va, August 2.-The
Fourth district Republican nominating
convention hold to-day at Spencer, was
one Of the most enthusiastic ever held
in the "shoestring" district. So much
enthusiasm this carly in tho campaign
is surely a pressage of coming success
at the polls in November Besides be.
ing an enthusiastic affair everything
was harmonious from start to finish
and in harmony. We can give our
Democratic brethren lessons in this
campaign. Before tho convention met
tho two formidable candidates werc
Hon. Chas. 4. Caldwell, OF Parkcrsburg,
and Hon. jas. A. Hughes. of Wayne.
Tho candidacy OF j. N. Campbell. Of
Huntington. was merely side issue,
being In tho interest Of Caldwell III
Cabell and accomplished its purpose OF
throwing part of CabelPs vote to Cald'
well. This morning when tho Hughes
people arrived on the scene, It was
seen that Caldwell had already secured
enough votes to nominate him. After
hasty conference with his supporters,
Hughes decided not to have his name
presented to the convention. Menagcr,
OF Mason, was also spoken OF in con-
nection With tho nomination, but his
boom like tho othcrs disappeared be-
fore the Caldwell cyclone that swept
over THO convention.
