MAerNsBuRo. W. Va, August 7.-A
short horse Is soon curried, and to.mor-
rows Democratic convention for the
Second congressional district, which
will renominate the Achilles Of tariff re-
form, the Hon. William L. Wilson, will
not be lengthy. The attendance from
al parts Of the district promises to bo
very good, owing to tho reducted ratea
on the railroads, and tho hustling to
get up crowd indulged in by Mr.. viii
sons admirers and Office hohders. The
advance guard OF the latter contingent
10 already on the grounds and further
delegation Is. expected tonight on tho
lato trains.
Mr. Wilson himself, accompanied by
aoyernor.elect Oates, Of Alabama, and
Minister to Russia Clifton X. Breckin-
ridge, Mr.. Wilson acolleague on the ways
and means committee. arrived from
Washington tonight on the eleven
o'clock train. Addresses by tho two
distinguished visitors will be features Of
tho convention. They will do all they
can to bolster up Mr.. Wilson's lost tariff
cause, and will appeal to tho faithful to
stand by tho party on the promise Of
doing bctter next time.
There will be opponents OF Wilson in
the convention, but thoy will not show
their hands, because they do not hold
enough ttumps to take the trick, and
will permit the nomination TO be made
BY acclatnation, without kick.
TIE TARIFF PLANK.
There arc predictions that there will
be show Of fight against the tariff
resolution in the platform. fight SINH
lar to that Mt tho first district conven-
ton last week, but do not think 1t will
materialize.
Judge Daniel D. Lucas 10 on tho
grounds and there ID q possibility
that he may enact rolc similar 10 that
assumed by Hon. John ]. Davis in the
Clarksburg affair. Senators Faulkner
and Camden will have friends In the
convention, and II an effort is mado to
censure the senators there will be. fun.
That such an effort will be made Is pro-
gent Of the Thirteenth senatorial dis
trict convention which mot hero to-day
is still in town and may carry its fight
into the congressional convention.
TIE SENATORS cEwsuREp.
The most signilcant incident to-day
in connection with the senatorial con-
vention and one, The effect Of which
NAV be felt In to-morrowD congress
sionai convention, was tho Introduction
OF a resolution In the full convention
by Hon. Jesse Brilliant, censuring In
severe terms Senators Camden and
Faulkner, naming them and calling
upon them to resign their seats.
The thing about 1t that has direct
connection with the Wilson convention
tomorrow is that tho resolution also
called upon Mr.. Faulkner to resign the
chairmanship OF tho national congrea-
slonal committee because of his un.
iaithfulness to the cause of tariff
reform. II this fight is carried into tho
Wilson convention there may DO an
interesting timc, though, as intimated,
tho attempt may bo souclchcd in time
TO prevent row.
Thore will be enough Of an undor-
current OF Ithis sort Of thing, however,
to cause Mr. Wilson unoasinoss. for 1t
is beyond his power to prevent indts-
Greet remarks by his friends on tho
street andin the hotel lobbies-remarks
TINT may bear fruit. On the other
hand It 10 no secret that tho Faulkners
regard Mr.. Wilson as very much in thoir
way, and they may welcome anything
that will afford them an excuse to fight
back, @. A. D.
