Huntington begins to look as though a
convention is on the way already.
There is great scramble for accom-.
modations. The boys will bo packed q
little closely, but Huntington will open
every room in town rather than leave
anybody unprovided for. The wigwam
is twice as large as the Parkersburg af-
fair, and hasn't any walls. It has been
suggested that II the roof were removed
it would be- a perfect convention hall
for hot weather. Ohio county came in
handsomely this evening, with Mar
shall, Brooke, Wood and some other
counties, and batch OF braves from all
along tho Baltimore & Ohio main line
and Parkersburg branches. Col. Jake
Kemple is much impressed with the
idea that Atkinson for governor is a
winning card, and will devote his tai
ents to that end.
ATHtEsoN's POSITION.
Mr.. Atkinson came in this evening
from Charleston, with his brother and
Sam Burdett, but ! have not had a
chance to talk with him. 1t has been
understood that he was not a candidate
for governor, but good many Of his
friends would like TO see him run, and
without talk with him at this iuncture
Icannot say what his mind Is. My i'm
preston Is that he will not reach q
definite conclusion until he has con-
tered with his friends from over the
state, understanding that Elkins, Mason
and Campbell are beyond the party's
reach, and that Atkinson preferred to
figure in the ranks. About all the
promising material In the state Is being
canvassed tonight.
State Senator P. w. Morris, of Richie,
Is on5the grounds and his friends are
making Arguments in his behalf Cap
tain George w. Curtain, OF Braxton,
would do good deal Of lively booming
as q business man II 1t were not known
that he would not consider the matter.
Warren Miller, Of Jackson, candidate
for supreme Judge, has been spoken OF
with favor for tho head Of the ticket.
Judge Guthrie would have strong fol-
lowing, but Captain John K. Thomp-
son has in his pocket letter from
Judge Guthrie vetoing that measure.
Judge Guthrie was here last night and
added emphasis to his letter. Judge
Maxwell, OF Harrison, and John Ruhl
aud G. N. Hart, OF the same county,
have been passed around good deal as
good men.
DAVIS BOOM
State Senator Thomas E. Davis, Of
Taylor, one of tho delegates.at-large,
one Of the best men in the state, got in
tonight and ran into Davis boom as
soon as he struck the town. He has
said that he would not accept a nomina-
ton for anything, but he may change
his mind. 1t is being puta him from
all directions from the northern pan.
handle, from the eastern pan handle
from the extreme southern section and
from tho interior, that II the party COM
mands he ought to obey. Just now he
IS trying to find his quarters, will got a
nights rest and think about it to-tnor-
row. There arc not enough delegates
here to nominate anybody, but as they
arrive, tho Davis movement grows and
grows without leadership.
It's interesting to note that among
all tho aspirantS for the places on tho
ticket below tho first, there Is not ono
thus for who does not say that Davis
would suit him exactly and run well in
his region.
OTHER CANDIDATES
General Duval, senscncy, of Ohio,
and Hyer, Of Braxton, have their eyes
oathe authorship. Hall, ofKanawha,
'sexpcctcd in tonight Hc has repre-.
sentativcs here. Willry, Of Summers,
who Is also in the authorship race, is
on his way, and his friends seem hope.

Colonel Hooten thinks the attorney-
genesaIship Is pretty close to Marshall
county but I. J. Hugus, Of Ohio, and
Frank Cox, OF Morguntown, have their
eyes on the same goal, A, s. Bell, OF
OHIO, who has ideas about the superin-
lending 81 free schools, is on hand and
