Special DI5pntch 10 tho lntclllSoneer.
PARKERSBURG. w. Va, Aug. 2i.-
The Democratic state executive com
ml,tce has adjourned. After II session
this morning the committee adjourned
TO meet again at ClarksburE September
.. The action Of last night making this
city headquarters was rescindtd and
the selection OF headquarters left TO
Chairman EdmIston.
This action was taken nt the earnest
pleading OF the Watts crowd. who. hav-
Ing hHnc worstcd In everything else,
hoped TO save the sta:e headquarters
FOR Charleston and the state house
gang. Edmieton, however, wants Par
kcrSburg FOR the place, and has prac-
tgCIlly agreed Is name IT,. He offers 4
Cancellation by proposing to establish
sib-hentQuartrrs at Charleston.
The sockdOlaEer that was given VIII
Chiffon. in turning him down for chair
man, was beyond doubt an unlOokcd-tor
surprlse. For two hours after Elmls-
tons election that fact was kept secret
BY his opponents. who tried to nTrsuadc
aGd even to force him. II Is said. to rc-
sign. but Edmiston stOutly refused TO
DO so.
EdmIston's selection was contrary to
all expectations OF the Chiffon crowd,
who never for once thought Of such a
thing as the reins being taken from the
hands OF the kannwha syndicate.
From uil reports current. the meeting
was not an unlntcrcst!ng or prOsaic one
b. any means.
Letter that Never Came.
There is something mysterious about
the actions of the Populls;s which
would indicate that they are rot seek
inS fusion with the Democrats on the
state electoral ticket, and that they in
tend to let RalphsRyder remain on their
state ticket. Their action created 4
great hubbub amongst the Democratic
brethren. 1t was understood that letter
would be presented from the POpullsts
containing their ultimhtum, but the let
ted that was lOnEed for never came and
It's nDn-appearlnce caused great worry
and unaesiness. Chairman PIersol was
Immediately dispatched for bur he had
broken the engagement and had Gane TO
Nicholas county.
Before adjournInr the following ud-
visory committee was named: ". C.
Handian. J. J. Davis, ]. w. St Clair,
Lawrence Tlerney, Henry G. Davis, 4,
Couslnnd. Governor MacCarkle and
Senator Faulkner. The selection OF n
campaign committee was left to the
chairman. 1t is the intention to selec,
the electors at Clarksburg.
\ George Wesley Atkinson club OF
over seventy members was organized
here last night with y. l.. Upton as
president. The club starts on with
bright prospects.
