WEST VIRGINIA
TO THE FRONT.
State and First District Conven-
tons at Clarksburg.
LINcH, GOULD. AND PROTECTION
In the Mckinley is Endorsed
Ringing Resolutions.

Ringing Resolutions.
No finer nor more harmonious con
vention ever assembled than that
held at Grafton last Friday. 1t was
the last of series of three, held
for the purpose of electing delegates
to 1.-THE National Convention at St
Louis.
First District people met Wednes.
day, at Clarksburg, and elected Hen
ry Schmulbach, of Ohio County. and
Dan Boughner, Of Harrison. They
also instructed for Mckinley, there
being a number of gentlemen present
from Ohio county who were deter.
mined to get into the Mckinley band
wagon at any cost.
The State convention also at Clarks-
burg, was one of the largest ever
held in West Virginia Enthusiasm
knew no bounds. Every mention OF
Mckinley, Elkins. Dayton, and Dow
ener was greeted with great applause.
o. W..O. Hartman, of Tyler; F. M.
Reynolds, of Mineral; ]. E. Dana. OF
Kanawha, and A. B. White, of Wood,
were the good men and true chosen
as the big Four" to vote for McKir-
ley at st. Louis. Binding instruc-
tons were adopted simply because no
one cared to oppose instructions and
because there were those who thought
nothing less would do.
The Second District boys met at
Grafton, Friday, and according to the
Wheeling Intelligencer twas as fine
body of men as ever assembled in
the State" The convention did not
instruct, preferring to trust to the in.
tegrity of their delegates to correctly
represent the people without placing
label on them The resolutions re-
ferred to the fact that Mckinley is
the choice of the people.
The men chosen for delegates and
alternates are men in whom the State
can have confidence. They will per-
form their duty well by representing
correctly the people of West Virginia
in general, and the Second District in
particular.
Two gentlemen who had been can
didates for honors withdrew in the in
terests of harmony before the conven-
ton met. They were w. G. Wilson,
OF Randolph, and Sheriff Shaw, OF
Preston. This only left three candi-
dates and but one ballot was required.
The resolutions were ringing decla-
rations of principles and were adopted
with whirl amid great enthusiasm.
The delegates and alternates chosen
are: Delegates, W. Newton Linch,
of Martinsburg, and Thomas B.
Gould, of Parsons; alternates, f. A.
Billingslea, of Fai1mont, and w. H.
VENT, of Philippi.

At 10 o'clock Chairman NJ. F. Hall,
of the district. committee, called the
convention to order and introduced
Congressman Dayton as temporary
chairman. Upon Mr.. Dayton coming
forward the most remarkable scene
that occurred in any of the three con-
ventions of the week was witnessed.
Enthusiastic cheering broke forth
and lasted tor full minute. When
Mr.. Dayton attempted to speak the
demonstration was renewed again
and again.
When quiet was restored Mr.. Day.
ton spoke briefly thanking the con.
vention for the ovation. He said
that the enthusiasm and the earnest.
ness displayed by the Republicans OF
this, the best district in the United
States, and those of the entire State
indicated that West Virginia had
come into the Republican party to
stay. He predicted that in the provi-
dence of God the next twenty-five
years would witness the continued
supremacy of the Republican party.
He rapidly sketched the contrast
in the records of the two parties.
This year the Republican party was
not obliged to rake the country over
with fine tooth comb for a candi-
date. The mention of each Republi-
can candidate was greeted with APP
plause, the enthusiasm for Mckinley
being, of course, the most pronounced.
Almost every sentence of Mr.. Day.
toms speech was wildly cheered.
AS Mr.. Dayton concluded. Captain
Dovener came upon the opera house
stage and the convention loudly
called for him. As he stepped for
ward the convention broke loose and
gave him an ovation. Captain Dow
ener was in splendid form and made
one of the most spirited and witty
speeches of his life. His pointed an
ecdotes and sarcastic illusions to the
pitiable plight of the Democracy Of
to-day were greeted with roars o.
laughter and enthusiastic cheers.
While the counties were electine
their committeeman, Chairman Day
ton called Hon. Thomas E. Davis tc
the stage. The popular leader wa:
greeted with great enthusiasm, which
he acknowledged with a brief speech
of thanks, and which welcomed tn,
delegates to Grafton.

Do you like garlicky butter, or

usually strong supply in our market.

genuine butter on hot pan it will

wide-awake farmers and stock owners
will hold on to their Durhams and

Worth Knowing.

A peach tree covered with small
ants has caused Waterbury, Conn,
subscriber to desire a reason. Very
interesting is the cause, as explained
by w. f. Britton. state horticulturist.
Hesays, When an apparently healthy
tree IS covered with ants, there is
usually some potent reason for it. If
you will examine Your peach tree
closely, it is probable that you will
also find upon it a species of aphides
(plant lice) upon which the ants are
attending. The plant ice excrete a
sweet fluid upon which the ants feed.
This fluid is called honey dew,
and the aphides are the ants mich
cows SO to speak these are cared for
almost as faithfully as dairyman
cares for his herd. If you wish to be
rid of the ants, first destroy the plant
lice by spraying with kerosene emul-
sion or tobacco decoction. II thenests
of the ants can be found the insects
may be killed easily by making hole
in the ground, and introducing a.
spoonful of carbonbisulphide, cover
ing at once. The fumes permeate
the ground and are very poisonous to
all forms of insect life. z"

tive Cordial does you no good, don't
