trary to general expectation the First

the Minneapolis convention was very
largo In numbers, every county being
well represented. Nearly all the dele.
gates IRON tho counties OF this district
TO the statc convention came in from
Martinsburg lust night and this morn
ins, filled the hotels to ovcrilowing, and
after the few hours rest from the labors
Of Yesterday and the nights travel, were
ready for business when the convention
was called to order ut l2 o'clock.
Fresh from the scenes OF yesterday at
Martinsburg, and enthused from head
to foot with genuine lscpublicanism,
they were eager for repetition OF tho
scenes they hadwitnessed there, though
Of course they expected them to be on
smaller scale.
While the convention was gathering
the ClIrksburg Kid band, an excellent
organization, by the way, played lew
inspiring Mrs and at the close was
warml y applauded.

grcssional committee, called the con-
ventiou 10 order and named Hon.
Josiah Sinclair, OF Marshall county, MS
temporary chairman, and Hon. j. S.
liver, OF Braxton, for temporary secre
tary As both gentlemen came forward
they were greeted with enthusiast c
applause.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Sinclair
made 4 rattling speech, which aroused
much enthusiasm. He predicted Re-
publican success in November and his
illusions TO the principles OF tho Kcpub-
lean party were greeted with great APP
plause. At the conclusion OF his speech
he declared the convention open for
business.
Mr.. G. B. Hart, OF Ohio county, sug.
gested that, unless there were contests
ior seats in the convention, in Wow OF
the TACT that the state convention yes.
tcrday had adopted platform which he
ielt sure all Republicans would subscribe
10, and that it was necessary to expedite
business in order that delegates might
have 4 chance to take early trains Tor
home, tho regular committees be done
away with.
This was opposed by Hon. 3. i.
Alciglen. OF Marshall county, who was
IN iaycroi the convention doingits bust
ness IN the regular way.
OHIO COUNTY INIT
Dr. T O. Edwards, OF Ohio county,
suggested that the one committee be
appointed TO cover the whole field and
in a short speech gave logical reasons
why his motion should carry.
Mr.. J. X. Hall, OF Ohio county,
thought that majority OF tho delegates
present had not had the pleas.
ure OF participating in the magnificent
convention at Martinsburg, and were
mere TO hold district convention in
The regular way. Many OF them had
come many miles to do so. 1t would he
courtesy 10 them, he said, for those who
had been to Martinsburg, to yield them
the preference and allow the convention
proceedings to take a regular course.
some OF us had good time at Mar
lihs0urg; now don't let us dc anything
mat wall prevent our friends who were
not there from having one here"
