WILLIAM G. BROWN
The Next Congressman from the
Second District.
NOMINATION UNANIMOUS
An Enthusiastic Convention ut Fair
mont-Mononga!ia Represented by
Large Delegation Lncas for
Presidential EIector.

The Congressional Convention for
the second district, held at Fair
mont yesterday was one of unusual
enthusiasm. Large delegations
were present from all the counties in
the district. Monongalia did hon
or to herself by sending a large del
egation, nearly all her delegates be-
ing present.
The decision which character
ized-all the work Of the convention
is indicative of the determination
and confidence of the Democrats of
the district.
Col. G.. l.. Smith acted as chair
man and brought the convention to
order. r. w. Morrow, of Jefferson
county, was elected permanent chair
man, and the work in hand was ta-
ken up with vim
Three names were placed before
the Convention for congressman
They were VIM. G.. Brown, of Pres
ton county; Samuel " Woods, of
Barbour county and G. 5. Scott, of
Randolph Co. The convention then
proceeded to ballot upon these three
names. 1t was evident from the
start that VIM. G. Brown would re-
ceive the nomination, and before the
ballot was completed the other two
candidates withdrew from the race
and the nomination was made unan-
imous for Mr.. Brown.
Presidential elector come next
The convention had evidently al
ready decided upon Judge Daniel
b. Lucas, Of Jefferson county, as its
choice, and he was unanimously
nominated As soon as they had
completed their work the members
Of the convention left for Wheeling.
ON special train to leak upon the
more exciting scenes of the State
Convention, full account of which
will be given in the Now DOMINION

A Confidence Game.

Farmers and others, says the
Shelbyville Democrat, who wish to
borrow money from representatives
of gold syndicstes or other Eastern
capitalists should inspect their notes
before signing, as these conspirators
against the common people are pre-
pairing to have clause in each note
requiring the same to be paid in
gold The Democrat would say,
don't sign any such notes. They
are species Of highway robbery.
What kind of conscience has man
who loans man 81 900 in paper,
silver and National Bank notes and
then requires it paid back in gold,
knowing that there is not dollar Of
gold in circulation in this country?
If the Government has to sell bonds
to get gold to satisfy the New York
and London gamblers, how is poor
devil one thousand miles away from
the gold market, going to get the
gold to meet his obligations? Last
week John Zackery, of Marion coun-
ty, went to the bank to pay off a ST.
600 mortgage and was informed that
the note called for gold and after GO
ing to all the banks, found that he
had to pay $50 premium to get his
81 900. Mr.. Zackery is now for free
silver. At Uniontown few days ago
gentleman placed note for $400|
in one of the banks. The banker
filed it out to resd payable in
gold.N The gentleman refused to
sign it and explained also that his
friends would refuse to endorse it as
they knew it would be almost out of
the question to get the gold to meet
it az maturity. The bank accepted
the note finally, drawn in the usual
way. If the gold men should win in
the coming election all obligations
will be made payable in gold and the
debtor will have to pay whatever
premium eastern bankers demand
for their gold, in order to get 1t to
meet obligations

Vote for Your own interests.

The financial issue which is now
before the people for solution, is of SO
great Importance to the farmer and
laboring man, that they should, for
the time being, forget party ties and
vote for their own interest as they
see it, after a careful investigation.
On the solution of this question de-
ponds, in large measure, your future
prosperity. Your farm produce for
years past, has been decreasing in val
ue, until to-day you can scarcely raise
enough on your farms to pay your
taxes and expenses. Do you want to
continue policy longer, which has
proven disastrous to your best inter-
ests for years past? In 1873, silver
was demonetized, thereby destroying
one-half of the redemption money of
this country, and gold was made the
unit of value, and the standard of our
monetary system. This resulted in
the appreciation of gold, and CORE
spending decline in prices. This is
not theory, it is facts. We know this
from observation. The best argu-
ments which may be advanced by an
advocate of the gold standard, would
not convince farmer that the prices
of his farm products have not con-
stantly declined since the demonetiza-
tion of silver in 1873. As long as this
country is on gold basis, the farmer
can hope for nothing better than that
which he is now receiving. Then do
away with party ties. Vote for your
own interest. The moneyed men of
the East are not interested in your
welfare. They did not frame the st.
Louis platform with view to the
betterment of your conditions.
Whatever is to the interest of the
money lender, is just the reverse to
the farmer and laboring man. Re-
monetize silver and we double the
amount of standard dollars in the
country. Increase the amount of
money and prices will become better.
With better prices, farmers will be
more prosperous and demand for
manufactured goods will spring up,
thus calling labor into service. Re-
silver and we will start in
on an era of prosperity, the like of which
has not been known for many years.

New York Lost to McKinley.
The greatest setback McKinley's
chances for election have had since
the single gold standard was forced
down the throats of the st. Louis
convention by the eastern plutocra-
cy is the utter failure of Mark Han
ma to make any Roadway in New
York either with the fighting fac
tions of his own party in that state
or with the gold Democrats, with
whom it is absolutely necessary some
sort of deal should be fixed up if
Mckinley is to stand ghost of a
show to carry the State.
But Hanna's overconfdenee, or in
experience, or arrogance, or boorish-
ness, or whatever it was, has thrown
all the Mckinley fat in the fire.
Not only has the Republican chair
man utterly failed to bring together
the warning factions represented
BY Lauterbach, Millholland, Plat,
Bliss the Einsteins and others
those smooth, polished, suave poll
ticians being entirely too much for
the breezy westerner, but he came
within an ace of insulting the court
ly and polite Mr.. Whitney, without
whose aid Hanna might as well
throw up the sponge in New York.
His managers disastrous failure
in New York has, it is said. greatly
chagrined Mr.. Mckinley, who is
better acquainted with these New
York politicians and their ways than
Mr.. Hanna is, and endeavored to
coach that gentleman as to the best
methods to pursue to quiet the
troubled Republican waters in the
Empire State and to capture Mr..
Whitney. But the bluff Hanna
knew it all and would take no ad
vice from Mckinley. Neither
would he listen to editor Whitelaw
Reid, of the New York Tribune. who
had been. to Canton secretly to see
Mr.. Mckinley and later had Mr..
Hanna stay at Ophir Farm in New
York. There Mr.. Whitney's propo-
sition was fully set forth to the Re
publican manager. Mr. Whitney, it
is saidssimply asked that the gold
Democrats be given place in the
Mckinley cabinet as a reward for
their service. Mr.. Reid also. it is
said, intimated that foreign Am
bassadorship for himself would be
acceptable as the price of his own
service in concentrating so impor-
tant an alliance. These PROPOSE
tions were scoffed at by the Repub-
lican managers. He had New York
won without Whitney and he was
going to settle up in a jify and get
back to Chicago by the end of the
week. In vain did Mr.. Reid impress
upon the western manager the i'm
portance of such an arrangement.
But chairman Hanna was too much
intoxicated with past success to
take the advice either of Reid or
Mckinley. He did not propose to
have any Democrats showing in Nc
Kinley's administration. He pro-
posed to dominate that himself
Whitney was rudely east aside and
Hanna started back to New York to
tackle the factional fight inside his
own party. Everybody knows how
ill he succeeded.
His trip has been woeful, dismal
failure, and in his confusion the
puffy, bull-necked, clustering chair
man has fled to Philadelphia to seek
the advice of Wanamaker and Qnav
and other old-timers.
Meanwhile it is said that McKin-
ley makes no concealment of the
the fact that his campaign has re-
ceived the worst setback yet
