THE OTHER CONVENTION.
Proceedings of the Convention Held b.
the Tyler County Delegates.

The delegates from Tyler county
who walked out of the convention held
in the Opera House went to the office
CT the kanawha Oil Company, where
they held another convention. The
delegates who walked out claimed that
the Wetzel County people were trying
to run the first convention to suit
them elves ard they would not stand
it. Following is the report of the sec
ond convention handed your CORE
spondent:
Al a meeting of a majority of the
Democratic delegates representing Ty-
Ter county, attending the delegate dis
trict convention Of Tyler and Wetzel,
held August 4, 1898, in Sistersville, Ty-
Ter county, w. Va, having retired from
the so-called convention dominated by
Wetzel county alone, hereby met and
nominated as chairman John f. Nc
CURE and L. H. Morris as secretary.
On motion the temporary organiza-
ton was made permanent.
On motion the following resolution
was offered by Clell Nichols;
Resolved, BY the Democratic dele
gatss attending this convention hereby
condemn as a high-handed outrage
and contrary to ali former presidents
in foisting upon the people of Tyler
county the nomination of w. r. Ryan.
he being only the choice of said Wetzel
county and not the choice Of Tyler
county, and we hereby nominate Louis
B. Hill, and pledge our support as a
candidate of said delegate district to

ton in November, 1883.
On further molten it was ordered
that Mr. Ralph Rroodwater was APP
pointed cen nlitteeman for Tyler coun-
ty, and that it is further ordered that

ent camps. That intended for the men
with Skaters army should be sent to
Santiago while that intended for the
army with General Miles should bear
the superscription Porto Rico expedi-
ton via Washington" whence it will
be forwarded as rapidly as possible to
its destination. If money is to be sent
the soldiers IN Santiago or Porto Rico
the suggestion is made that the best
means would be by draft On New York
City as the presumption now is that
the business will be opened promptly
between financial institutions in the CT
ties of New York and those taken poss
ession by our armies. To send the SOL
der boys in the United States army
money, drafts on New York also can
be used as well as checks on reliable
banks in the localities from which the
money is transmitted AS to supplies
other than that for hospital purposes
the government has steadfastly, except
in rare cases, refused to transport them
to the commands for which they are in
tended. There is no fund available for
such shipment, and they should be sent
by express or freight according to .heir
character The rule of the department
applies alike to supplies intended either
fer the soldiers in the United States or
those in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phi
lippines. For the army in the islands
organizations should ship supplies by
some responsible steamship company
which will guarantee their safe deliv
cry. This is something the govern
meut cannot do, even should it consent
to ship free the delicacies designed for
the men, as is instanced in the case of
supplies sent with Skaters army some
of which came back to Tampa twice
without being unloaded In the matter
will undertake to see they reach the
army, but it does net promise to de-
liver them to the organization to which
they are consigned. Supplies for hospit-
ais may be sent through the army hos
pital headquarters at New York whence
they are put aboard ship. Regimental
hospitals generally have been abandon
ed in the army and division hospital
substituted, which makes it impractic-
able for the medical department to dis
criminate in the distribution Of any,
thing sent for the department. Arti-
Giles in the line of hospital supplies are
gladly received and distributed by the
government.

A SPECIAL. BOARD
To be Appointed to Consider Recon-
mendations fer Promotion.

Washington, August $50 numer-
Gus have been the recommendations
presented to the Secretary of the Navy
for the promotion, or recognition in
some ether suitable manner of Ameri-
can sailors, officers and enlisted men
who have Sc notably distinguished
themselves during the present war, that
Secretary Long has now determined
to create special board for the purpose
of considering all such cases on their
merits. This was practice adopted
after the civil war had progressed some
time to avoid charges of discrimination
that had begun to be made in many
cases While this naval board will
consider the great mass of cases on
favorable recommendation in some few
instances the President and Secretary
Long will reserve to themselves the
right of independent action, such for
instance, as that in the case of Lieut..
Hobson.

other means showed the inequalities of
the traiff, and advocated an economical
administration of the affairs of the gov
eminent. After dilating to some ex-
tent on this issue the judge took up
the money question and explained in a
very lucid manner the differences be-
tween the gold and silver standard, and
explained that 1t was utterly imnossi-
Bile to transact the business of the
country without a double gold and sill
yer standard; that it was utterly inn
possible to transact business on SIN
gle gold standard. Judge Johnson
showed by his argument that he was
familiar with the money question; that
the two issues of gold and silver was
not only the money question Of the
constitution, but was the money of the
Bible. The judge in many ways illus
trated the different points that he de-
sired to make on the money question
to the entire satisfaction of the many
people who had assembled. We are
satisfied that from the able address Of
Judge Johnson that the Democracy of
Webster county is solicited and will
roll up this fall an increased majority.
Judge johnson closed with beautl-
full perotion advising the Democrats to
stand by their colors and aid in redeem
ing the Third district
After Judge Johnson's address Mr..
w. r. Talbot, the recent nominee for
the Legislature, was called on aad
made neat speech, thanking the peo-
pie for his nomination. After which
Hon. w. E. r. Byrne, in his inimitable
manner, delivered one of his character
istic speeches, which brought down the
house Mr.. Byrne touched upon the
Spanish war and showed that this
was not "a Republican war, as General
Grosvenor asserted but one Of our COM
mon country against the Spanish ma
ticn.
Rev. Mr. Irwin, defeated candidate
for superintendent Of schools, made a
fcrcible speech urging the Democrats
to stand by the nominees of the party.
After short addresses by other speak
ers the meeting, on motion, adjourned.
This has been a field day for the Dem
ccracy of Webster county. and they
will roll up majority Of 400 at the

1t was called to order at one O'Clock
by the temporary chairman and the
first thing done was the reading of
the report Of the committee on rules
and order Of business, which was to the
effect that the convention be governed
by the rules which have governed the
conventions in the past. Here was
where the fight commenced. A. B.
Hunt moved that a substitute be pass
ed that the convention be governed by
such rules as might be necessary for
its government. This caused a general
discussion in which a number of those
present took part. Some sarcastic talk
was INDUCED IN by the speakers and 1t
was only after considerable discussion
that the substitute was adopted Or
report Ct the committee on permanent
organization the temporary officers
were made permanent. The reports OF
the other committees were adopted. B.

stood that the officials OF the war de-

pounds to the thousand; s1.5C per thou
sand on cigarettes weighing not more

ports from Spain which are about ten

Addison, Webster County, w. Va,
August This has been field day
for the Democracy of the independent
state of Webster county. Judge d. E.
Jchnson, of Mercer county, addressed
a large concourse Of the people of Web
ster county in the Court House at this
place on the issues OF the day.
Judge Johnson, the nominee for Con-
gress in the Third district, was intro
duced TO the large concourse of people
who had assembled in the magnificent
temple of justice of Webster county by
the Hon. Andy Saulsberry, chairman
of the County Executive Committee, In
a very appropriate address en- the issues
of the day, urging the Democrats to re-
main steadfast to party fealty and to
remain steadfast to the issues Of the
party. Webster county is in accord
with the Chicago platform. After the
chairman had called the meeting to
order ne requested Mr.. Sernis Williams
to act as chairman. Mr.. Williams ac-
cepted the position in a neat speech,
advising the party to stand by its prin-
ciples.
Judge johnson delivered one Of the
most forcible speeches ever delivered
in the court house at Webster. Judge
Johnson commenced by speaking OF the
manner in which he was nominated for
Congress in the Third district, which
was brought about in harmonious
manner and after complimenting the
good people Of Webster county, he
branched out on the issues Of the day.
Touching on the Cuban war he illus
trated in many ways that the first
blood shed in Cuba was from Demo-
Gratis, that this was not Republican
war. but an American war, by Ameri-
cans against Spain, and that ii was not
Republican war. but war Of united
country against Spain. The judge
touched on the bond issue, showing the
fallacy Of the issue of the bonds to car
~ on the war. After yentilatlng the
whole theory of the bond issue the
Judge took up the Dirgiey bill and the
tariff bin and in a most lucid manner
showed up the ineqnalitiesuf the Ding
ley bill. Judge Johnson took up the
tarif question and By illustrations and

Washington, August 1.-The revenue
act which took effect July /, prescribed
a government tax of two cents on each
United States money order Instruc-

two. cents to the buyers of money or
ders in addition to the regular fee
This two cents is to be accounted for
separately by postmasters to the aud
itor for the postoffice department and
the gross amount of the collections:
estimated at half million dollars per
annum, will be transferred from the
postal revenue 10 the internal revenue
funds quarterly by the auditor In spite
Of the plain instructions sent out mon
ey orders are now coming into the
auditors Office with revenue stamps af-
fixed. Some of them have evidently
been affixed and cancelled by postmas-
tiers, Others by purchasers Of money or
ders Still others, and most numerous
ly by payees when they receipt for
the money. All this is double payment
of tax, for the selling postmaster will
in every case be required to account
for two cents on each order sold. No
