The silver men made contest at
each precinct to secure delegates to the
Davis convention favorable to free
coinage, and have undoubtedly elected
majority Of the delegates Of that way
Of thinking. AT Shepherdstown the
delegation is composed of two sound
money men and two free coinage advo-
Gates. At Duffelds, we are informed,
there was a unanimous vote for free
silver At Moler's the vote was 80 to
II in favor Of free silver delegates
At Charlestown precinct the mass
meeting ordered the voting to be by
ballot. and a lively contest ensued,
lasting from 8 until 6 clock. When
the vote was counted it was found that
only four delegates out of seven had
been elected, there being tie vote
for the other three places, five candl-
dates each receiving l49 votes The
four elected We're W. II. Travers, r. ?.
Chew and T. C. Green, gold men, and
George Baylor, silverite. The contest
over the tie for the other three places
will be referred to the executive com
mittee, which, it is said, will order an
other election to fill up the delegation.
| Of the FIVE men who are tied four are
for silver. There We're 290 votes cast
at that precinct, and the contest be-
tween the silver and gold factions was
very warm and close, no delegate being
elected by a majority greater than
five.
At Middleway resolution was
adopted, declaring for the free coinage
of silver at lG to l, and instructing
the delegates to vote for Judge D. B.
Lucas as delegate to the Chicago con-
yention.
