Caldwell, who, he said, would have the
nerve to ask for a new Custom House
for Huntington, and the push and abih-
ty to get it. The crowd cheered and
yelled for Elkins.
Mr.. Elkins allowed this to go on for
ten minutes and then appeared on the
balcony, explained that he was tired
and hungry, said he would probably be
heard from in the convention tomorrow
and begged to be excused. The crowd
accepted his apology and the Secretary
OF War retired 10 change his clothes.
The question Of the hour is will Elkins
accept the governorship Il it is handed
him by the convention on bended knees.
A few think be can be driven into it;
the many say he cannot. II the last
named are right J. (. Davis will win.
That is as much as anyone can make'out

Hall, of Kanawaha, Is pushing him
self hard tonight for auditor. He
brought big force here including car
load OF coored men and the streets are
dotted with Hall badges. The colored
troops, strange as it may seem, have

Mr.. Davis is modest. As matters are
at this writing, he is head and shoulders

be an easy winner, GOff being Of course
eliminated.
John W Mason says he IS not able 10

about the part the federal officials are

HUNTINGTON, w. VA, August .
Mr.. Atkinson is not a candidate for
Governor.
This is absolute and final according
To- the gentleman himself.
Itis even doubtful il he would accept
the nomination If 10 was rendered him;
st least this is his attitude tonight.
In an interview awhile ago he said:

20 into the convention aad make
Eight for 90; but don't want IL. The

for the stuff which has been poured out
against me during the past few days,

truth As 1 not only don't want
this nomination, but ! never wanted it.

against me. I have been the friend OF
Mr.. Ekins from the first, and am now
i'm favor OF Charley Sensenny. l am
delegate aud 1 will vote for him all the
time. I have been maligued aS no other
man has been; first, because friends or
other candidates have been afraid l
would inWrc them, and second, for a
secret reason. People who knew wss
out of the GovernOrship race kept on
decryiug me for purpose.
This removes one element from the
situation. Another was removed this
evening when a telegram arrived from

for tonight with the purpose OF tender

am assured this will be done unless

Another installment Of Wheeling and

There are now about 400 delegates

WAsuIxGToS, D. c., August 2-There
was but one subject OF public interest be-
fore the Senate, and that one occupied its
attention for most Of the three hours that
the session lasted. IL was the resolution

and Labor for the appointment OF select
committee Of seven Senators 10 inquire into
the organization and employment OF the
Piukerton forces, and under what author
ity they were employed and used in labor
controversies.
Mr.. Sherman stated the reason why he
thought the question should not Do taken
up now. In the hrst place the House OF
Representatives had already, in very fair
and dispassionate way. taken up tho ques-
tiou and examined eintO ,he matter. The
subject involved 10 some extent the do
main OF sovereign state The offense re-
ferred 10 in the resolution had originated
In an old and well organized
community. The reason why h
should not be acted on now was
that the Senate itself was half alive and
bali dead waiting 10 close It's session in
peace and with hardly enough Senators
present 20 make a quorum. Still he was
bound 20 say that the principal question
raised as % whether any man or corpora
