CHARLESTON w. VA, August 19.-
The Repu bIicans OF the Third Congress
sional district having met, adopted a
NJ platform aud nominated a candidate,
the issues between the TWO parties of
the district may now be said TO be
y fairly Joined, and the contest between
Anderson and Huling will soon begin in
earnest. Mr.. Huiing is clearly not the
l choice Of a majority OF the Republi-
cans Of this district, and the fact that
his nomination was compassed by the
most disgraceful methods employed
both in the appointment OF the dee-
gates and In the manipulation Of the
convention Is not contemplated W Ith
auy degree Of patience by the average
Republican Of the district Money was
the factor that dominated and ruled
everything in cOQneCtiOn with the nOm-
Hhation. Some II the delegates 10 the
convention, who fought vigorously for
other aspirantS, profess 90 be satisfied
with the nOmiUatiOu OF Mr. Hunng,
but tt Is evident that they are dis
gusted with the whole affair. Tae
Rucker men came 20 the convention
well organized, aud 10 must te said that
theY conducted a tight that was al OuCe
clean, vigorous aud even brilliant, aud
although they had votes sufficient 20
nominate their man by fair aud hOnOra-
bic methods, the influence OF bOOdls
was all powerful, and after prolonged
struggl3, IN which they were COerced,
ruled out a8A owled down at every
point by tbeW IuIing buldozers, they
gave up the fight in disgust. The sup
lrterS OF Rucker made the charge

nv tbe secretary Of the Convention for
the ourDose of allowing these dele
Gates 10 vote for the candidate
OF their choice, was perem ptOruy re-
fused. COL Swami, one Of these dele
gates who wanted 10 vote for Rucker,
but was denied the right 10 do so, ap-
uealed in vain 70 the Convention FOR
iustice. The white haired leader, who
had fought the battles Of the party for
thirty wears, should have secured for
!. himself some consideration, but he was
N lowled down in a disgraceful manner.
N ne nv one the delegates were taken
II Nde by the Ruling supporters and
REASONED with, " aud the inducements
that we're being offered seemed 70 be
affective. for they Invariably came back
"a their seats aud changed their votes
for Hpliug. These tactics were kept
mn all through tho six hours OF ballot
ing when finally the nomination Of HUI
ing was accom- DliSheC.
The supporters OF Huling have evil
deptly ,bit of more than they can
cbew Their candidate will never sue
coed in creating any enthusiasm in the
campaign. without which his election
wouid be impossible under the most ia
variable circumstances. The delegates
