PARKERSBCRG, ". Va. July Ca
The most notabl. political gathering In
West Virginia for many years Is over
and the Republican party has placed in
the field ticket OF excellent quality. It
Is ticket OF young men. The cand!-
date for governor Is under fifty years OF
age. The candidate for supreme court
OF appeals Is older All the others are
younger men than are usually. placed on
a state ticket. but svery man Of them Is
a somebody and is qualified for the place
he Is to fill.
The men who compose the convention
go to their homes with no other thought
than that their ticket Is to be endorsed
by the people.
II was an enthusiastic and somewhat
unruly gathering. but It was good ma
tured In the highest degree. The con-
tests were sharp and determined, but
when defeat came Il was accepted In
good faith. There IL nat a single sore
spot left. Fortney, of Preston, was not
q candidate for the supreme court OF ap-
peals. but some OF his home friends
thought h!s nomination would quiet the
trouble In their judicial district. His
name was presented with this thought
and withdrawn IN compliance with his
desire.
The nomination OF McWhorter, Of Ku-
nawha, settles the trouble IN that judi
cial district and closes up the ranks for
a running fight.
Chairman Holt. of Taylor county, han
died the big crowd as well as anybody
could have done, and as for Secretary
Tully, OF Wood, he was the Increasing
delight OF the boys.
Everybody speaks well OF Parkers-
burg The crowd was great, but private

night at the Auditorium annex. The
meeting convened shortly after s
O'Clock and was held In secret, the pub

and It was desired TO give him all poss-

Cleveland desired without It's being TOO
extensively advertised. II was general
~ admitted that the wishes OF the ad-
ministration would go far toward de-
termInIng whether or not there should
be another ticket In the field, but many
OF the visiting Democrats had no hest

What Eckei. Has TO Say.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 2S.-Conp-
troller Echels passed through the city
tonight en- route to Chicago to attend
the Democratic gold convention.
He said great many Of the promi-
nent thinkers and fnanciers OF the coun-
Try had made request for such con-
vention. The outcome OF the gathering.
he said. would certainly be the Issuing
OF call for national convention To
nominate ticket on gold platform and
on Il plan suited TO real Democrats. The
new ticket he Is assured would receive
the support OF many Democrats who
would remain at home on election day
rather than vote for Bryan. on a silver
Populist platform. He thinks the silver
idea Is being kept at fever heat by ora
tory which VIII cxpend its force long be-
fore the four months have expired. He
thinks Bryan will suffer defeat; but IL
he should be elected, he could not further
his silver plans because of a Republican
Congress.
On the present status Of the gold re-
serve Mr.. Eckels said the banks had
come to the rescue and averted any
danger of 4 bond issue.

Whitney was asked to-day II, in his
Judgment there would be third ticket
nominated by sound money Democrats.
He replied: II think events and the
course OF the Republican leaders are
making 1t inevitable. The general stu
alton IS far worse to-day in my opinion,
than It WAS ten days ago. The Republi-
can managers and candidates have
shown no realizing sense OF the sltua-
ton. They have failed TO avail them
selves OF 4 great opportunity for bene-
fitting the country. II the present con-
dition OF affairs continues for any great
length Of time sound money Democrats
are bound to organize and 1t cannot be
prevented. The truth Is there does not
seem 10 be In the east a realizing sense
OF the seriousness and sincerity OF the
free silver movement. You may cal! It
a craze, but 1t has captured the imaglna-
tions OF the great mass OF people
throughout the entire west and south.

some portions of the cast, not closely

Gallaudet and Eastern High School
Play Today.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR TIE SPORT
More Teams and an Increase in
PopuIas Interest.
CHANGES IN THE RULES

The foot ball season will open this after
noon with the game between the eleven of
Gallaudet College and the Eastern High
School eleven. The outlook is bright and
the game promises to be more popular than
ever. There will not only be an increase
in the number Of teams. but an increase in
the number Of games. The rules have been
modified repeatedly. tending to reduce to a
minimum the advantages for brutality.
Mass plays are prohibited. Though team
work under the new rules will not be af-
fected, the change will tend to encourage
individual work. consequently permitting a
more open game. 1t all depends on the
way the team is coached as to whether or
not the team work will suffer through the
efforts of the individuals to make display
for themselves. While individual work Can
oftentimes be done to advantage, 1t is poor

ton having no athletic association they
could not be admitted.
The interhigh school track and field meet
was under the auspices Of the Irterhigh
School Athletic Association, which is the
forerunner of the proposed association. 1t
was composed of three representatives from
each school. Mr.. Philip Tindall was chair
man and. together with Mr.. William Hal
lam of the Eastern, secretary the success
of the meet is due. Mr.. Tindall will not
return. so Mr. Hallam will no doubt be
elected chairman.
Hyder 3. Farrow and Fred N. Albert
were on the committee from the Central
and they will talk up the proposed associa-
ton at their school. Eugene T. Cough and
Darra White will attend to organizing the
Business club, while Charles Taussig will
Gevote his time to make the Georgetown
part a success.
The Eastern school has already formed
an athletic club and all that Is required Of
them Is to elect their representatives. If
the proposed plans are carried out, the
High School will be able to send away TO
the spring meets, to which high school boys
are admitted, track team which will no
doubt bring honor and credit to the Wash
ington institution, as some speedy runners
are found in its ranks.

exceptions composed of new men, SO no
definite idea can be had of its strength
The Western.
The Georgetown boys organized their
team last Wednesday. Leetch who played
with the Cook Park foot ball team last
year. was elected captain. The material
is new, and a light team. with an average
of about 140 pounds. will represent the
Western in the coming seasons games.
The best known player on this years
team Is Charles Taussig who has a bro ther
with the Cornell University eleven and
one on the Naval Cadets team.
The line up is as follows: Burch. center:
Manakee. left guard; Blackiston, right
guard; Walter, left guard: Smart, right
tackle: Taussig. left end: Lincoln, right
end: Gordon, quarter: Buck, full back:
Leetch. captain. left half, and Lungford.
right half.
The Georgetown boys, backed by the
western rooters. hope to show their op-
ponents what a light team with plenty Of
enthusiasm can do.

The college has considerable new matcria.

the old men back, the Columbian eleven
this year ought to make some sort of a

athletic abilities of its members, the Light

W. Rosson and Darby have been selected

known to the foot ball public, but Darby
has yet to make his first appearance. The
greatest difficulty has dDeen found trying
to fill Prices position at full back. AT

there. He is quite a muscular man and
