l read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A. NJ. Fritz, Station A, st. Louis,

spoon is a household necessity. 1t can
not slip into the dish or cooking vessel,

Charleston. w. Va, September 20
Gen. C. C. Watts is quite sick, and his
physician has ordered that he remain al
nome for a week or ten days. The Gen
erals condition is not alarming, but il is
such that were he to attempt to fill his
engagements which the State Commit

result very seriously. He will accord
ingly be compelled to keep his room for a
week. and possibly ten days.
While this is very Disappointing to
General Watts and those who had prom
ised themselves the pleasure of hearing
the next Governor, his place will be well
filled.
Chairman Edminston tonight wired
Hon. John O. Pendleton, of Wheeling,
asking MIN to come 10 Charleston at
once and fill the engagements made for
General Watts. The reply came prompt
". and was favorable, Mr.. Pendleton

Boston, September 26.-Unique and
picturesque as have been scores Of no.
able political contests IN this city, none
approach that which late las, night and
to-day wrought up the entire community
10 its widest pitcl OF excitement and
pEyer has there beensuch an anomalous
result as was shown at the close OF the
day when three conventions he'd in
different sections of the city named the
same man for the head of the ticket,
and that man, George Fred Williams, for
Governor. The factional fight in the
ranks of the hitherto united Massachu-
sets Democracy can be traced back 10
the Chicago convention last July when
in the struggle between gold and silver,
George Fred Williams and a few others
boldly eft the majority of the Massa-
chusetts delegation and voted for the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
The Climax was reached last evening
in the big Bryan rally in Music Hail.
Mr. Williams accused the leaders with
wanting to control the State convention
and requested all those who were in
favor of his nomination to stay al. night
in their seats so that no move might be
made which would deprive them CT full
filing the programme which had been
rartad out by the silver leaders. Thus,
c ., of his followers obeyed to the leuer,
and throughout the long night the vigil
was kept. Every kind Of ingenuity was
tried to make the men vacate the hail
The police were called upon to clear
the hall. but the young lawyers in the
silver element made that move unsuc-
cessful. and as a result the doors were
locked and kept so until 80 this after
noon.
Bright and early to-day thousands or
men, scores Of whom were delegates
from out of town. assembled around
Music Hall. expecting the doors to be
opened at any moment that a compro-
mise might ensue. Overtures were
made by the members Of the State Cen
tral Committee and they were rejected
by the men in possession Of the hall
who were fearful Of treacnery.
The men on the outside then organ
lied in Hamilton Pace, in response to
the suggestion Of Hon. Timothy W.
Coak!ey. the locked-in leader OF the Sill
yer men. and wAatever business was
trq1see ed in TIE hal vas endorsed Dy
the outside meeting.
The State committee then went to
Taneuii Hall. where a convention was
held and the national candidates and
the Chicago platform were endorsed
and Hon. George Fred Williams was
nominated for gubernatorial honors,
This acton was protested by number
of gold standard Democrats. who With
drew in a body and placed ticke, favor
able to Palmer and Buckner in the field
on nomination papers
In Wesleyan Hal, the State conven-
tion of The Populis; party was he'd and
immediately they heard that Williams
had been nominated as the free silver
candidate for Governor they immedi-
ately followed suit and placed him at
the head of their ticket.

Yesterdays game at CoXey park was
the prettiest exhibition OF base ball dur

there were no stolen bases en- ;he

chances which were offered, Wheeling
made but one error, an eXcusabe tumble
by Whaley in the first inning, which
was not costly, as the runner was
thrown out at second. In the fourth IN
ming Violet made sensational rum

which looked good for three bases. The
local infield played with snap and g.n-
ger.
Brodie was also in good form, and
held Wheeling down TO eglJ hits, but
the visitors were outplayed at all points,
and tho victory was fairly earned. In
the first inning Gallagher led off with
