SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic convention to NOM
innate candidate for the State Senate
was held here Wednesday. 1t was a
fulfillment of the warning given BY
Judge D. B. Lucas sometime ago that
Jefferson would nomA te the man
Berkeley did not want,S
The candidates were Capt. d. w
Shafer and Mr.. Robert Burkhart
Shaffer had Jefferson solid, nearly all
of Morgan and some scattering votes
in this county.
Most of the Berkeley delegates re.
fused to vote and Shaffer was declared
the nominee. Loud and deep were
the threats made and it is evident
that there will be some severe CUTTING
done. Several of the Jefferson dele.
gates demurred but they were forced
into line for the time being. There's
fun ahead.

Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner was re-
nominated for judge of this judicial
circuit, at Berkeley Springs, Tuesday.
SO far as we know he will have no
opposition. There is one thing, how
ever, that some people would like to
know and that is how he could, as re-
ported, put himself in line with the
gold standard Democrats who are go
ing to support Bryan and SewalI. s.
This is new-fangled idea that ap-
pears to have suddenly crept into the
campaign. Surely no man of the in
telligence of Judge Faulkner can vote
for Bryan with the idea that that me-
teoric statesman will ever favor
sound money or anything else for
that matter that is sound

About the Size of the Crowds at
Inwood.
Thursday was Republican Day in
deed and in truth at Inwood. There
was a great gathering of people and
great speeches were made.
Hon. Alex. Clohan presided at the
morning meeting. Hon A. G. Day
ton presented an unanswerable argu-
ment in favor ofRepublican principles,
all Of which was received by the peo-
pie with gladness.
The afternoon meeting was like
wise a great success. A. B. Smith,
Editor of the Herald was in charge.
Hon. G. w. Atkinson started the ball
rolling with a commute talk and
then gave the way to Senator Stephen
B. Elkins.
All agree that his effort was mas
terly one. The people were specially
impressed with his earnestness cnd
will long remember the facts so force
fully put.
The evening meeting was likewise
good. Rev. David H. Shields, former
ly of this city. but now stationed in
Minneapolis. Mimi. favored the
audience with brief address upon the
moral issues of the campaign TO the
great delight of his numerous friends.
Then came Mr.. Atkinson with a
clear, lucid and conclusive argument
in favor of sound money and protec-
ton. His happy way of clinching
a point OF illustrating a passage was
highly appreciated by the people.
The closing address vas by Hon.
U. S. G. Pitzer, of this city. Grant
was in good form and, though il was
his first speech in the present cala-
paign, it was such a Que as reflected
credit upon himself.

General Watts. United States Dis
trict Attorney for West Virginia, came
here this morning on business with
the department of justice which will
deta;a him a couple of days. Gen.
Watts said he thought there could be
no doubt the free silver sentiment was
dying out rapidly in West Virginia
and that the Democrats of the State
could be relied on not to allow this
question to divide them this year or
next to any greater degree than in the
past.
Gen. Watts haE since been nomi-
mated by the Silverites for Governor
on a tree-and- unlimited -coinage-of-
silver ratio-of-I6-to platform and
is now engaged in making a canvass
for votes. He surely cannot expect
to be elected.

THAT PRIMARY.

We had thought to write up the
Democratic primary Monday evening
but finally decided that the task was
too great. 1t was all and more than
all who expected lively time antici-
pated. Hon. Alexander Parks was
chairman and more than once his
patience was severely taxed. Edgar
Stewart and John Henshaw, young
men who had been but are not now
Democrats, were elected secretaries,
but no minutes were kept.
The first bout was for delegates to
the senatorial convention in which
My BYSkhart defeated Capt. Shaffer

har Jed for district delegate
ands e tug of war over the
delegate bunty convention. J.
w. Dodd handicapped by the
candidates clerk of the county
court who n tinted tickets OH one
of which wa name of rival can
didate for Dodd plead for a
vote on thd idate for sheriff but
could not it. The delegates
chosen faJ Mr.. Doll for clerk.
With the b Eots for delegates were
cast slips 6f Dodd for sheriff, repre-
senting majority of the voters, but
no action was taken.
During the time the vote was being
taken the convention became howl
ing mob and oaths and execrations
and anathemas were hurled about in
profusion. Blows even narrowly
averted and riot ran rampant.
A very fair executive committee was
turned down and another more in acE
cordance with the wishes of the gang
was chosen.
AL in ah the Proceedings were dis
graceful in the extreme and many
men who participated were thoroughly
disguised.

Indications are that Col. Dodd will
get the Democratic nomination for
sheriff. He put up a lusty fight in
the primary Monday evening against
great odds.
