closed doors.
Gen. Hardin and all of the other
candidates on the Democratic ticket
were present at the conference. Gen.
Hardin made speech full of vigor.
He did not recede one iota from the
position he had taken on the financial
question. He contended he was
standing on the platform and was
not ia conflict with his party. Har-
din said he would submit to caucus
of the party but he would not yield
to dictation. He asserted his ability
to construe the platform, and said he
abided by his utterances, which have
been published, and has nothing to
retract or modify.
When he closed there was warm
applause from the free silver men
present. All Of the candidates, with
the exception of Mr.. Tyler, candi-

to stand by Mr.. Hardin in his con-
struction of the platform. Mr.. Tyler
announced his purpose of continuing
to speak for sound money, no matter
what the utterances of the head of
the ticket might be on the currency
question.
A committee of five, consisting Of
three silver men and two gold men
was appointed to draft an address to
the Democratic voters of the State
The voters will be called upon to sup
port Gen. Hardin, as well as the re-
mainder of the ticket. The address
will also urge Democrats to drop the
currency issue.

quality and ease of mining, with TO-
100000 acres of virgin forests, with
apparently unlimited oil bearing ter

Here is mineral wealth greater by

Of West Virginia, active as it has
been for ten years, must double and
quadruple in the early future. In
this regard in this region there is a
wide field for safe investments of
railroads, the opening of coal mines
and the establishment of wood work
ing enterprises, and many other in
dustrial interests. From 1880 to
1898, the State advanced its coal pro
duction from 100000 tons to TO-
100000 tons. Some excellent au-
thors believe that this will he largely
more than doubled in ten years more.
In fact Maj Hotchkiss, than
whom there is no one who more fully
understands the coal region of West
Virginia, predicts that from the Low
er Coal Measures of the State alone,
the output of which is now 100000
tons year, the annual production
within five years will be from 5,000,-
