District Democratic Conven-
tons.

The Democratic State Executive Committee
of West Virginia, at meeting held at Par
kersburg, on January %, 1892. determined and
ordered that Democratic conventions be held
In each of the Congressional districts at the
time and place hereinafter named. to- select
three delegates each, one of whom in each dis
trict shall be a delegate-at-large and also Sc
lect one alternate for each of said delegates to
represent the State in the Democratic National
Convention to be held at Chicago, Ill. on
June 21st, 1892, and when they shall have been
80 selected they shall be duly accredited as
delegates to represent this State in said Ma
tional Convention. And at said district con-
Yentions each of the counties composing the
several Congressional districts shall be entitled
to one vote therein for every one hundred votes
or fractional part thereof over fifty, cast for
the Democratic candidate for President at the
election held in 1888. The various County Ex-
ecutive Committees are requested to take such
action as may be necessary to have their coun-
ty represented in said conventions. The con-
Ventions will be held on
Wednesday, June LIST, 1892,
and at the following places: In the First Con-
gressional district at Weston, in the Second

District Club Convention.

WHEREAS, It is deemed tn the best interests
of the party and that 1t will better serve the
majority of tho clubs to hold Congressional
Conventions, instead of State Convention of
Clubs, and with a view of making the organi-
cation of clubs more efficient by the organiza-
ton of Congressional District Associations of
Clubs /; it is therefore ordered that q Conven-
Bional district be held on
Wednesday, the first day of June, 1892,
at the following places For the First Congress
Bional district, at Weston; for the Second
Congressional district, at Charles Town; for
ton. and for the Fourth Congressional district
at Rayenswood; for the purpose of organizing
District Associations of Democratic Clubs and
transacting such other business as may come
before the Convention. In such Conventions
local clubs will be entitled to the following rep
resentation: ALI clubs with u membership of
one hundred or less will be entitled to five del
egates; with more than one hundred and less
than two hundred, seven delegates, and with
two hundred or more, nine delegates
The object of calling said Conventions to
meet at the same time and place as the Con-
TentiOns to elect delegates to the National Con-
vention is to afford delegates the opportunity
of attending both Conventions. thereby saving
both time and expense. The County Commit
tees aud those heretofore appointed to organize
clubs, and all Democrats who believe in such
an organization of the party as will make 1t
invincible in the coming campaign are re-
clubs in every magisterial district and to have
properly represented ut the Conventions.

Communicated.

Mr.. Editor:-In our reasonable
desire to recognize the services and
merits of party leaders and workers,
we are in danger of forgetting the
Importance of sending the strongest
and most influential delegation posi-
BILE to the National Democratic Con-
vention and securing the most faith
full expression of our sentiments.
Other States will be represented by
their abIest and most eminent Dem
ocrats, many such having been cleo
ted already, and the West Virginia
delegation ought to include men not
inferior in national reputation and
party standing, as well as brains: to
their associates.
In the nomination of candidates
and the making of a platform, ques-
tions will present themselves re-
curing the wisdom of the statesman
as well as the sagacity of the politi-
clan. There will be differences aris-
ing from conflicting views of party
policy and duty rather than from the
rivalry of candidates. 1t is to be de-
sired that the Democrats of West
Virginia shall be represented by
delegates who believe that party
honesty is party expediency" and
that the wisest course of the party as
we'll as its duty is TO make an une-
quivocal declaration of its principles,
and especially Gifts purpose to carry
on the fight against Unnecessarily and
unequal taxation. and to nominate
candidates distinctly identified with
the great reforms to which it is
pledged.
The second choice of the delegates
for the presidential nomination may
not be less important than their first
choice. Gentlemen not wholly in
sympathy with the views outlined
above might vote in Convention for
Mr.. Cleveland out of admiration for
his high character and splendid rec
ord, or in compliance with the popu-
lar demand for his nomination. But
if the assembled wisdom of the ma
tional Democracy should decide that
the ex-President is not available by
reason of the situation in New York,
such gentlemen might be led by per-
sonal preference or sincere views of
expediency to vote for some Demo-
crat who has not been conspicuous
in the struggle for tariff reform, and
who, however worthy of the honor Of
the nomination, would not represent,
in the eyes of the people, the ideas
which are the life of the party.
The purpose of this communication
is to urge the election of Hon. VIM. L.
Wilson as delegate-at-Iarge to the
Chicago Convention. No Democrat
in the State can more faithfully
represent our sentiments; none WELD
more influence in the Convention
Mr.. Wilson's activity in behalf Of
the great cause to which his party is
committed and his earnest advocacy
of the denomination, if practicable,
of Grover Cleveland, make his cleo
ton to the Convention duty we owe
to the party and the country as well
as to ourselves. The national De-
mOcracy will expect it of the State
and the rest of the State will expect
it of this District. The honors due
other Democrats among US may be
conferred at some other time.

The North american Review for
May opens with series of articles on
!"The man or the PLATFORM" from
the pens of several Senators and Rep
resenatives, among. whom is Mr..
Wilson, of West Virginia, who is
brief and concise, as is his habit in
giving his opinions, as to whether the
candidate, or the platform of a party,
deserves the greatest consideration.
While fully recognizing the impor-
lance of declaration Of party policy
and programme, which party plat
form is, and believing that no voter
should support party with whose
policy, thus expressed, he disagrees,
Mr.. Wilson still believes the candi-
date to be of paramount Importance.
Political battles have been won with
candidates standing on no platform
but that embodied in their own in
tegrity, but no political contest was
ever won on the strength of platform
alone.
