There was no night session owing to an
accident which destroyed the electric
light connections. A severe storm had
passed over tho city about o'clock and
the wires were blown down. Despite
this fact the delegates assembled In the
hall and awaited for over an hour In
total darkness for the lights to he turned
on. About n dozen candles were brought
In for the use OF the newspaper men. One
was placed on the chairman's table, and
another stuck in the top of guldon In
the middle OF the pit. The effect was
werdly picturesque. CHASTITY faces nut-

band played and the crowds sang.

"A great hush fell upon The vast con-
course OF people whom the roll of coun-
ties for nomination for governor was
ordered. Barbour, tho first called, gave
way TO kanawha county and Hon.
Samuel G.. Burdett. tho gifted political
orator and leader took the platform,
amidst a storm OF cheers and applause.
In mntchlcss oratory rcplete with beau

It's powerful rloquence and logic, and n
neroration that was n fitting climax TO
the superb speech he named George
Wesley Atkinson.
The convention was Just waiting for

thing and everybody along with II. Full
~ three minutes of pandemonlum reign
ed and the widest, noIsest time was Wit
messed. The crowd at last ceased Its

physical inability to keep st up any

The roll call was then resumed. A. u
Smith. OF Berkeley, seconded the nomI-
nation OF Atkinson, as did George Fur

Atkinson was nominated by accIama-

state convention.
A Committee consisting OF C. B. Hart,
Mr.. Yantis, OF Jefferson. and Congress-
man Dorener, were appointed to notify
the next governor. While the committee
was absent the convention was still in

PARKERSBURG. W. va. July ~
West Virginia has had great political
gatherings, but this one ccllpses the
greatest Of them. The fine assembly halt
erected by Parkersburg was provided
with what was thought to be seating ca
paclty enough for the delegates. but the
seats for delegates fell short. There are
more than nine hundred delegates In
this convention, within about twenty
OF tho number that composed the st.
Louis convention.
II Is not so many years since we have
seen county after county represented
by proxy In q Republican state con-
vention. Those were the days when
West Virginia Republicans were strug-
Cling almost against hopc.
To-day's convention names the men
who arc to administer the states af-
fairs for the next four years, and the
faithful arc here to take part In the his
toric event. 5ggtta
Itisa great convention In.intelllSencc,
and in enthusiasm as well as In num-
bers, but even this WAS not the best
feature OF 1t. There are very many DEL
egates who arc comparatively new to
tho party. faces that used to be fnmIl-
lar in Democratic conventions. These
men arc In TO stay nnd there are no
better Republicans thnn they.
No better speeches have ever been
heard In the state than were heard
here to-day. Senator Elkns talked
straight business. as usual, and his
speech was q tremendous hit. Tho
nominating speeches were OF high
order and nwokc the echoes whenever
the name Of tho next govrnor. was ut
tered. The convention went Wild when
he appeared to accept the honor. There
was such n scene OF enthusiasm ns Ia
rarely witnessed outside OF a national
convention. Mr., Atkinson'g speech de-
lighted the boys and kept them shout
ing. Tho next governor was good
deal moved by the demonStrn tIun, but
he had himself we'll IN hnnd.
To-niSht's feature was the wheeling
OF the convention away from Ohio
county's almost solid vote. When fifty
nine out OF Ohio'g sixty votes were
pumped for l1yer for auditor the con-
'vontion whlrled and went for Lnl'ol-
lottc. 1t looked like desire on Ohlos
Fart to put her stamp on the nominal
ti0n. IL the vote had been announced
before the convention caught on and
put In its resentment. liycr would have
been nominated. OhiO's action made IL
certain for LnFoliGttc. But no mnttcr
ho" 1t camc about, Ohio hcIned In her
negative way TO put good man on tho
Ticket. Everybody IL con,cntcd, but
som" OF the Ohio boys think they Will
take fcw lessons In politics.

cident Of the theft grew dim AZ q fact
and as a dangerous riddle. Likewise the
captain gave but scant attention to the
ten. They loafed through the furious
weather as best they could, smuggling
down in corners for a smoke, and mark
edly breaking themselves mp so that
they seemed no longer the same compa-
ny of gentlemanly men who had come
together by chance and quickly devel-
oped into q ganglike clan. They d come
ON deck, and, holding on stoutly, stare
for little into the whole heart of the
blast.
On the evening of the fifth day the
weather moderated. At midnight some
stars were shining, the loose send few
white as milk, and much about this
hour beautiful light that irradiated o
wide space Of sea and air, like little
moon. fell out of the heavens and smote
the water with note Of thunder. This
seemed like signal to the wind. In go
minutes it had fallen stark calm, and
through the dark hours Of the morning
the ship lay rolling upon a round. vast
black swell. without q single pulse Of
life in her outside the trouble of the
sea.
Two men, pipes in mouth, passed
from under the break Of the poop and
stationed themselves ut the foot Of the
mainmast for a chat and q smoke. Il
was q warm night, but the place these
men had chosen was made pleasant by
refreshing tanning Of the mainsail,
that hung festooned from its yard. All
this particular part of the deck was
thick and black with the hinge pillar of
the mainmast and its lines of gear. be-
layed to girdling pins. along with other
furniture such as the pump, the winch
and the rest Of it hereatout in the
wake Of the main hatchway. The two
men were Mr.. Dixie Caldwell and Mr..
Patrick Weston. They were both fresh
