Grafton, w. Va, May 16.-An inter-
esting incident of the Republican con-
vention aftermath is the fact tina: there
is a strong probability that the Hon. G..
Wesley Atkinson will not be nominated
fer Governor without a contest, as his
friends have fondly hoped he would be.
The secret leaked III. here yesterday
that Kanawna county had it in her head
to arise in her might and with the Third
district at her back as :. starter, TO put
up a red hot light TO win the Guberna-
torial nomination for John j. Floyd,
editor of the Charleston Mail. The
probability Cf such big division SroWs
out of the scrap" between W. 5. Ed
wards, of Kanawha, and n. B. Scott, OF
Wheeling, for national committeeman
a contest that has been going on with
intense interest and earnestness since
the Clarksburg convention. One or the
Edwards men said to the Register man
to-day: I'VE are a united party in
KanaWha county and up TO this time
had no intention of asking for any
place on the State ticket. We have only
been disposed to ask for the election of
Mr.. Edwards as national committeeman
and our disposition has been one OF
fairness, looking to the party's wei
fare. We have regarded as improper
any attempt to tie up the st. Louis del
egates in cast iron instructions. but
friends of Mr.. Scott have been trying to
run over us rough shod. Now, if it is
to be a general all-around grab game
on the part of Ohio county, we propose
to take hand in it and play trump
card that will upset some calculations.
Your correspondent afterwards
learned from reliable sources that the
card that Kanawha would play would
be the presentation Of John B. Floyd's
name for Governor The delegates
from this district are F. NJ. Reynolds, 7.
B. Gould and w. n. Lynch. Lynch is
for Scott. Gould and Reynolds are
said to be non-committal with some
Ieanings for somebody else for national
committeeman other than Scott.

with his majesty's consent. This mes
sage was almost 6rutally brusque, and
read:
The clergy must not meddle with
politics. because it is no concern of
theirs"
This augered the clergymen, and the
whole clerical press has been expressing
indignation. DR.. Stoenker has made
an outspoken reply in his own organ,
the Evangelical Church Gazette. in
which he says that the Emperor when
still Prince William. himself character
lied the Christian social activity of the
clergy as a means OF vanquishing So
cialism. DR.. Stoecker added; Since
Christian social thought was taboOed in
Berlin. socialism reigns politically
there. As | have begun, so shall l con-
