The conference of the sound money
Democrats Of West Virginia, In numbers
amounting TO over 100. at the Mcclure
House yesterday morning, was n pro-
nounccd success from more than one
point OF view. The carncGtucss OF those
engaged In the movement was only cx-
cellod by the representative character Of
the gathering. and those followers Of the
POnullsts who captured the Democratic
convention NJ Chicago. had they entered
the meeting to SCOT At the probable
capitalization OF the movement would
hive remained to praise the manhood
and fearless patriotism that n reveal
ed during the proceedings. The gather
Ing was composed OF members OF the De-
mOcracy who put principles before par
~ Regularity" and the regularity Of
their conscience above thcls regularity,
and degradation of s:%ultifylnE them
selves.
1t was n remarkable meeting from the
fact that. as some OF the speakers eX-
pressed 1t, those who participated In 1t
knew they would be- the objects OF abuse
and perhaps persecution. but they would
brave all that. and more too. FOR the
sake OF reconcillng themselves to nm act
that would maintain their intcGrity.a n
command the approval OF their judy
ment.
Among those IN active participation In
this conference were four former state
senators and two eX-attnrneyB general.
There was no m!ncing OF words In con-
demnlnS Bryan and Scwall and the
mongTCl platform that was delivered by
the POpulist and Anarchist obStelrlclans
AltGeld and Tillman. There were three
things left for them to do: vOt for Nc
kinlcy, tnke 10 the woods or put a DEM
Ocr1tlc electoral ticket in the field based
on Il platform that enunciatcd the unde-
filed principles OF pure Democracy. The
latter course was naturally adopted,
n they did not waste much time In
pcrfcctinS arrangements for carrying
out their object. The four congressional
districts were well represented. and an
executive committee Of three from each
was appointed. which met Immediately
after the adjournment III the conference
and appointed a subcommittee to Issue
n call for Il state convention to be held
In Wheeling, August %. to elect twelve
delegates to the indianapolis convention
and also select presidential electors. II
was incidentally stated that the confer
ence was not in any way lnimicablr 10
the state ticket that would be nominated
by the Democracy at the Wheeling Park
casino. The full proceedings Of the con-
ference follow.

continent. Many grand men were
there, but, alas, so many of those who
took FIRST place in the great struggle
of third of century ago, have gone
to that country to which the rest of
their comrades are rapidly Fastening.
Gordon, Hampton, Garnett, Rosser,

Business in-cyery branehsis progres-

pace with its onward movement is left
1t is not infrequent to hear men COM
plain of the lack of business, and hard
times and in the most OF such cases
the fault is with the man and not
with times. If we would have an
article that will go, it must be modern
with every profitable improvement,
and to no branch of business does this
apply more than to the manufacture
of conveyances. High class rolling
stock must be neat and attractive
with the best of wood, the highest
finish and put together by the most
experienced workmen. No man is
better acquainted with these facts
than Mr.. James l.. Conroy. He uses
the best of every kind of material,
puts it together strong and gives the
carriages he axes neat finish.
Everything is just right, the prices
charged are reasonable and hence his
continued good business while Others
are around talking hard times

Conroy is without superior. When

boys and girls, wearing white and
