Convention Echoes.

The nomination of Mr.. DAYTON is
enthusiastically received throughout
the district. So far every Republican
we have heard speak of it, has only
words of praise, There are no sore
heads. All are now at work and will
continue until the close of the polls.
Marion and Preston counties care
lessly frittered away their opportunity
They had it in their power to name
the nominee but allowed TAYLOR tc
capture the bouquet.
Frank Cox, of Monongalia, and c.
F. Teter, of Barbour, took first honors
on nominating speeches. d. NJ. Wo-
tring, of Preston, and G. NJ. Ford, Of
Taylor, labored too hard
Jefferson and Berkeley pulled to-
gether as one man. DEMOCRATS should
take warning In union there is
strength.
Some of US thought portion of
Morgan was little selfish.
We have heard OF shaking the
bushes in political campaigns, but we
never before saw them pulled out
by the ROOFS. And when the man up the
tree comes down it is time for Dem
mics to hunt their holes.
Truly may Johnny McGraw fear
Dayton. He is hustler and will be
found at the heads of the hollows.
Yes, he will bear watching.
Bro. J. O. Thompson read the plat
form with force and eloquence sell
dom, if ever, equall,d.
Do you know we are rather proud
of that platform. Every word was
most carefully weighed and the full
import of each sentence thoroughly
digested. There was a studied effort
to avoid straddles so common in such
documents and when completed every
member of the committee indorsed
every word IN it. 1t will bear careful
study.
Tyler County Republicans, at their
convention last Saturday, adopted the
Second District platform. They know
good thing when they see it.
Berkeley County delegates were
''solid for Elkins,n but when it was
known he did not wish to accept the
nomination, their preference was for
that brilliant statesman and orator.
Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss. When it be-
came apparent that Gordon Dayton
was the choice of the convention, they
changed to him with a shout, and
Monongalia followed with motion to
make it unanimous. There was then
not dissenting voice.
Ex-President Harrison was more
than delighted with his reception. He
is quite positive that Prof Wilson has
at last met his fate.
Hons. VIM. M. o. Dawson and John
w. Mason were model presiding Off

The Register is Democratic.

The Wheeling Register of last Sat

"Sales of woods have fallen to Ais.
100 pounds, OF which about one mil.
lion pounds actually belonged to the
previous week, against 1910, 500 in
1892, and domestic fine wool has
weakened about cent at Boston, al
though Australian has advanced 4 c,
with stronger foreign markets"
That was press dispatch and the
truth. In the same issue at least a
column is used by the editor to prove
that domestic wool has advanced

THE wooi. MARKET.

4
Somebody, no ore knows who. start
ed a report last week that there had
been considerable advance III the
/ price OF wool The Democratic Con-
gressional committee was doubtless
responsible for it. but how any person
astute enough toNserve on committee
Of that character could be taken in as
that alleged statistician was is beyond
comprehension.
As is we'll known. the threat of free
wool knocked the price of that COM
modify to free trade basis and it kept
at the very bottom until about the
sth of July, when the impression got
out that the free traders would not sue
coed in passing their business para
lyzer the Wilson billy, and then there
was a slight advance in the price of
WOOL Prices held their own fairly
well until about the first OF August
when there was another decline. The
Senate bill was adopted and the antic-
ipated boom did not naterialize, al
though prices did not sink nearly so
low as they would have done had the
Wilson bill been enacted into law
But with reference to the price Of
wool last week, we beg to quote from
Dun's report for the week ending last
Friday, and also TO call the special at
tention OF our Democratic brethren to
the fact that they were away off, and
to remind them that it is in order for
them to eat from the favorite Demo-
cratic dish-crow
Read what Dun says and all he says
on that subject:
"The sales of wool have fallen to a, :
lis, 100 pounds of which about 900, :
900 pounds actually belonged to the
previous week, against 1910, 500 in
1892, and domestic fine wool has weak
ened about / cent at Boston, although
Australian has advanced * cents
with stronger foreign markets.
But for fear an effort may be made
to impeach our witness we call anoth-
err Bradstreets. Hear him
Trade has ruled moderate, and the
tone of the market is undoubtedly
weaker on domestic woods. Foreign
woods are largely nominal in price, as
the trade is generally waiting for the
London sales to open in order to estab-
fish prices, Holders in London are
very firm at present, but until the sales
open it will not be known whether the
advance asked in that market can be
secured or not. There will be a good
representation OF buyers from this
country at the sale, and the prospects
favor firm market The London sale
of fine woods opens September IS,
while on September 20 the East India
sale ofcarpet woods will open at Liver
pool, with 80, 900 bales offered at the
latter sale"
And now, word of advice: Demo-
cratic editors should be shrewd enough
not to bank on Democratic theories
They are formulated for the sole and
and only purpose of catching votes of
verdant, unsuspeeting Bourbons, whose
greatest pleasure is found in blindly
swallowing the dogmatic hypothesis
of crossroads demagogues, a shining
example Of which class misrepresents
this Congressional District in the Con
gress of the United States.

You Republicans who have been ex-

up your minds that here is to be the
battle-ground of the campaign. Here
the battle between Protection and
Free Trade will be fought to a finish.
The reelection of Mr.. Wilson means
more free trade agitation, more I'M
certainty, more poverty. 1t means
that the wreck and ruin of the past
year shall be continued indefinitely
Knowing the past, it is the duty Of
every man who loves his home, friend,

in the contest between American in
dustries and American labor on the
one side and European pauper labor
and British gold on the other.

An error in punctuation in the sill
yer plank Of the Elkins platform de-
stroys much OF its force. 1t originated
in the Associated Press report and
thus found its way into most of the

Ger and Register both had it wrong.
The Fairmont West Virginian and
some other State papers got it right.
The error is in making the first SEN

which was to pull Hon. A. r. Unger
OIL the Senatorial race track. From

seems their efforts were not crowned
with success as Mr.. Ungers friends
insist that if he comes off Cattlet,
must also retire. That don't suit A
little bit. 1t is a rather pretty mud,

presumption is that Unger will retire

bosses when thecritical period arrives.

three pitchers in the box in to-day'e
ball game and rhey were all hit freely.
Eight innings only were played Fore
man pitched for the home team and
only three scattering hits were made by
the visitors.
Considering the hard manner in which
Petersburg hit the ball the fielding of
Roanoke was good. The visitors only
had ono chance to score and that was in
the third inning. There were two out
and three men on bases when Mccoy
was caught of third.
The game was protested on account
of the UNI ire allowing Kelly safe, after
he had struck out and the catcher
dropped the ball, with man on first.
