We learn that the Mercer coun-
ty convention which was held on
last Saturday had a high old time
and that there were several fights.
For Congress the delegates were
first instructed for Anderson,
when some two hundred persons
withdrew from the convention.
Mr.. Anderson and Gov. Wilson,
who were both present, then
agreed upon a division Of the del
agates IN which Anderson has s,
and Wilson 6, and harmony was
. restored. Manhood was named as
MERGERS choice forState Senator
and the delegation is said to be
solid for Mac Corkie for Governor
We want big majority in Mer
cor in November.

Gentlemen-I have read your
valued letter, published in this
mornings Gazette, in which you
ask me to reconsider my decision
declining to be a candidate for
Governor, and generously proh'er-
ing me. Your support for that posi-
.tion, regardless-of past party aflil-
iations.
our appeal is, to me, deeply
touching, and brings to my heart
a feeling Of gratitude that none
can know who have never been
similarly situated Allow me,
my friends, to say, that when :
wrote my letter declining to be a
candidate, 1t was after mature de-
liberation. The situation that
then confronted me still exists.
Were | to yield to your request
and now declare myself a candi-
date my action would not only
have the appearance Of inconsis-
tency, But would give rise to a
suspicion of insincerity on my
part at the time of writing my
former letter. | may also state,
as an additional reason for not
being a candidate, that for the
most part of last year | was in
bad health, and a greater demand
on my time in private business
affairs is now made upon me
than formerly.
am also now engaged in an
enterprise, which, if successful,
will benefit large portion of this
State vastly more than my being
Governor could possibly do.
am deeply solicitous about the
political welfare Of West Virgin
ia, as also the success Of the Dem
ocratic party, and cannot but
think that the convention which
meets at Parkershurg in July
next will consider with delibera-
ton and wisdom the wants and
welfare Of all our people, and
give us a candidate who while
commanding the support of the
Democratic party, will, at the
same time, stand forth the ac-
knowledged champion Of all the
masses, in their rights under the
laws of our State. In conclusion
let me say that ! must adhere IL

TIE PRESIDENCY.

There is just at this time an I'M
certainty as to whom either the
Democratic or Republican parties
wi4l nominate for the Presidency
or what the issue will be. Upon
platform whose central figure is
Tariff reform, Cleveland is thought
by many to be the logical candi.
date, but If the South and West
should demand a free silver
plank, Mr.. Cleveland would find
himself in an unenviable position
at the head of the ticket. Hill
hastbeen named as the choice OF
New York Gray as the choice OF
Indiana; Boies as the choice Of
Iowa, and Palmer the choice OF
Illinois. We believe that the
rights Of the States to central
their elections should be the cen
trail idea with Tariff reform and
the free coinage Of silver strongly
demanded, and Arthur z. Cor
man and Horace Boies named as
running mates and that victory
would be assured.
The Republicans, however, with
no candidate except Harrison,
seem to be in worse. condition.
The party evidently does not
want Harrison, and no one else
seems to be willing to be sacri-
feed. Seven States held their
Republican conventions last
week, Nebraska instructing for
Harrison, and Maine, New York,
New Hampshire, Ohio, Missouri
and Colorado refused to instruct,

As candidate for Governor he
is presented on his merits and

recognizes the worth Of the Logan

Ex-senator Camden has de-
cHned to enter the race for Uni
ted States Senator. We are glad
Of this as his candidacy would
have had tendency of disorgan-
izing the party at this time. There
is no better Democrat in the
State than Senator Camden nor
one which under ordinary circum-
stances it would afford us more
pleasure to support, yet the de-
feat Of Senator Faulkner at this
time would have been political
blunder even worse than the de-
feat Of Senator Camden in 1857.

Terrible Result of the Explosion IN the

PRAGUE, June 3.-Owing to the great
excitement that prevailed when it was
known that the fire that broke out
Tuesday night in the Birkenburg silver
mine, near Przibram, had caused the
death of a number of the
miners, many contradictory state
ments were made as to the
number Of those who had persisted.
One of the first reports had 1T that
forty had been killed. Now, however,
that the excitement had died out to a
great extent and inquiries have
been made among the survivors, it is
estimated that fully 400 Of the employees
lost their lives in the disaster Among
those who we're killed were five stu.

were studying the working of the mine
to gain practical knowledge of mining
