COMMUNICATED.

EDITOR OF THE REGIsTER-Sfr:-Ihe
Farmers Adv0eake of the goth inst, in
its report of the district convention of
the 18th inst, states that the minority
report or resolutions was tabled by
unanimous vote. This statement is in
correct, and does injustice to the 30 or
40 delegates present who were and are
opposed TO the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and who voted for the mi
nority and against the majority report
of the committee on resolutions.
The Advocate also condemns the &C
ton of the Berkeley county delegation
in not voting solidly for Judge Lucas for
delegate at large. The facts of the case
are that Mr. Westenhaver and one or
two Others of the Berkeley delegation
finding it impossible to elect sound
money delegate, favored casting the vote
of this county for Judge Lucas; but with
five or six exceptions, the members OF
that delegation were so indignant at the
insulting treatment lin which one mem
Der of the Jefferson county delegation
was conspicuous accorded their speaker
Mr.. Frazer. who attempted to speak In
favor of the minority resolutions, that
they positively refused to do So If II
had not been for that, the Berkeley men
would have voted for Judge Lucas and
he would then have been elected by
majority of about twenty-five.
The Jefferson county delegation con-
sisted of nine free silver and four
sound money men, but as ii was thought
desirable TO record the full county vote
of 25. the silver men took 10 votes, or
, 10 votes each, and allowed the SOUND
money men votes, or Il votes each.
A protest to the committee on creden-
tials was of no avail The silver men
seemed to think the sound money men
had no rights whatever, and threw out
the lawfully elected delegation from
Morgan county and seated set OF silver
men who had no legal claim to seats ;
and the rowdyism on the floor OF the
convention was carried so far that no
member of the minority could get II re,
spectful hearing. Mr. McMullen, o.
Grant county, who presented the minor
ity report on resolutions, was howled at
and ieered and had much difficulty in
reading them, and the names of three
of the greatest leaders of the Democrat
ic party, Cleveland, Carlisle and Wilson,
were hooted and Kissed.
Such exhibitions of intolerance ana
madness should compel thoughtful
and fair-minded men to take counsel to-
gether to devise means to save the coun-
try and the Democratic party from the
control of demagogues who have by their
teachings brought about condition OF
affairs which threatens both the coun-
try and the party with disaster.
In Justice to the delegates from this
county, it is to be said that, with the
single exception noted above, they were
gentlemen, and, as such. condemned the
rowdy proceedings on the floor of the
| convention. ii. W. l.

all her votes for Mckinley and Ho-

The feature of Thursday was the
withdrawal of the silver delegates from

party. They had given notice that
they would bolt if a gold standard
plank was adopted, but the committee

ator Teller, of Colorado, presented a
minority report, and addressed the
convention. He spoke with an earn
estness that greatly impressed the vast
throng in the convention hall, and as
he pleaded the cause Of silver the tears
streamed down his cheeks. The con-
vention, however voted for the gold
resolutions, whereupon Senator Teller
beaded the little procession OF free
silver delegates and left the hall and
abjured the party. There were about
thirty in all, among them being such
prominent men as Senator Dubois, of
Idaho, Senator Pettigrew, Of South
Dakota, and Senator Cannon, of Utah.
As the boilers filed down the aisle a
number of the delegates hooted and
Missed at them. Senator Dubois stated
that the Republican party would not
carry one State west of the Mississippi
river at the election in November.
The convention pushed its business

FORMER legislatures of West Vir-
ginia have often been prevented from
properly attending to the States busi-
ness because Of the distractions brought
about by the election of United States
Senators, The next legislature will
not elect Senator, and will therefore
be free to attend to the necessary
legislative business. 1t will be wise
and sensible for the people to elect
capable and well qualified men this
year to both the House of Delegates
and the State Senate. Let us elect
business men and have in consequence
a business legislature. Free silver
or sound money viii cut no figure in
our State government, and ought not
to distract the attention of the people
or their representatives from more
important considerations.
We are for the most capable bust
ness men, whether they are for sound
money, free silver, or unlimited coin.
