The state convention OF the Nation
al Democratic party OF West Virginia
meets at the Opera House this morn.
Ing at 10 o'clock. Hon. Benjamin Trap
nell, Of Kanawha county, formerly OF
Jefferson. will be the temporary chair
man. From present Indications 1t will
not only be a representative meeting OF
the best elements of the Democratic
party, but the attendance OF delegates
viii be OF the most encouraging char
acter to those who have cut adrlft from
the Chicago raft.
The National Democrats, otherwise
the sound money Democrats, OF West
Virginia, are going to have state con-
ventlon to-day. 1t has been called on
short notice, but the 'Popocrats pre-
dlcted that 1t would never materlalize.
Last night 1O6 delegates came In on the
Ohio River road. They came from all
along the river. from the Kentucky
border. from Kanawha and from as far
east as Greenbrler. Forty came in on
the Baltimore & Ohio, and more are due
this morning. The indications are that
the attendance will reach ut least. three
hundred, quite double the maximum
number looked for In the beginning by
the promoters OF the movement.
The men who have come to the con-
vention are representative citizens In
their respective counties. They are
earnest and enthusiastic. They feel that
the Chicago ticket should not succeed
and they do not intend that It shall
succeed In West Virginia II they can
help It. They make no war on the
state ticket. although Some Of them feel
that this convention cannot consistent
ly endorse the state ticket. because the
convention that made that ticket n
dorsed all that was done at Chicago,
and every candidate on the state tick
ct Is supporting the Chicago nominees.
Those who take this view want the
convention to take no action with re-
gard to the state ticket. There are
others who want the state ticket en-
dorsed. It was difficult TO tell last
night which view would have the sup
port OF a. majority when the time for
action comes. Delegates did not all
know which side they would be on.
Some Of them wished to hear the mat
ter discussed before taking a side.
General Alfred Caldwell and Major
Ran. Stalnaker are talked OF as dele
gates from the First district to the In
d~ianapolis convention. Browse and
Simmons. of the Fourth, and Colonel
John A. Robinson, OF the Second, were
mentioned. The Third had not develop
ed anybody, or had kept 1t very quiet.
Ready FOR Business.
