In response TO the call published IN

Among those present was a conllnlt'ee

Mr. Delaplain explained the object OF
the meeting, in doing so stating that
he had received a letter from Governor
Campbell. I'm which he expressed a
warm feeling for the Democracy Of this
city. and hoped they would be well
represented al the Bellaire meeting.
Mr.. Delaplain also said that some pre-
liminary steps looking to the attend
ance Of Wheeling Democrats at the Bell
aire meeting had already been taken,
but that. as a matter of course, they
we're subject TO the approval OF the
meeting he addressed. He said 1t was
the intention to secure a special train,
have a band. a good supply Of red fire,
and to present a good appearance II
was desirable that all who could con-
veniently do so would appear in black
coats. silk hats and carry canes. Mr.
Delaplain said that Sheriff Franzheim
had secured figures from some OF the
bands. and that he had been assured
bv Capt. Dsvries, of the B. & o., that
a spec!al train could be secured at any
time which might be fixed, and that
the fare for the round trip would be
twenty-five cents. He closed by an
nouncing the presence of the delega-

Mr.. Muth. from the Bellaire Commit

been sent up to invite the Wheeling
Democracy to attend tina meeting.
They would be accorded nearly WEI
come. and Mr.. Campbell would be held
at his hotel until the Wheeling tram
arrived. Enquired Of as to the prob
able time of the meeting, Mr. Muth
said it would be about eight o'clock.
Mr.. Campbell is due TO leave Woods
field for Bellaire at four o'clock, and
would likely arrive about seven.
Mr.. Franzheim formally moved that
the Wheeling Democracy go down, and
after some remarks by Mr.. R. S. Kinch-
eloe. tending to show Mr.. Campbell's
cordially towards the party in this
city and county, this was adopted.
Mr.. Delaplain moved the appointment
of a Committee Of five on Finance, and
this being adopted, the Chair appointed
as such committee Messrs. Delaplain,
Kincheloe. w. P. Robinson, w. c.
Handlan and Capt. Devries. Later this
Committee had its duties so enlarged
as to constitute it a General Commit
tee TO make all arrangements of what
ever character. the motion bringing
this about being made by Mr. J. B.
Handlan.
The Committee will report to an adj
iourned meeting, to be held next Mon
day evening, at the same place. After
the adjournment the Committee on
Finance got down to work at once, and
about one-rhird the necessary amount
OF money was contributed on the spot.
While it is desired that all who can
wear silk hats and black coats, the
absence Of these articles of dress will
by no means disqualify any Democrat
from going. All Democratic voters of
the city and county, as we'll as the
young Democracy, are invited and urged
TO make the trip, and a large crowd is
expected. The Moundsville Democrats
VIII come up in the evening, and for
the return trip the regular Mounds
Vile accommodation train will back
over to Bellaire after leaving this city,
to carry the Marshall county people
