FOR STATE SENATOR
| Definite arrangements have not yet
been made in regard to the reduced rail-
road rates that will be given the dee
gates who will attend the Democratic
Congressional convention at Weston
next Thursday. The chairman OF the
Congressional Committee has been
negotiating with the B. & o. company
in regard to rates on that road as far
as Clarksburg. The full delegations
from Ohio and the other Pan Handle
counties will likely go from here II
satisfactory rates are given. II not
the attendance will probably be small,
as each delegate will have to bear the
expense of the trip, which includes a
hotel bill, while attending the conven-
ton. An effort is being made to get q
sleeper for the Ohio county delegates,
as was provided two years ago for
those who attended the District Demo-
cratic convention at Clarksburg. The
delegates will leave Wheeling at mid
night Wednesday, and will very likely
be back Friday morning.
Ohio, Marshall, Tyler and Lewis
counties have elected their delegates to
the Weston convention. Other coun-
ties of the district will choose their
delegates either to-day or tomorrow.
Lewis county Is the only one that has
so far instructed to vote for favoritc
candidate, but it is quite likely that
| other counties will also present candi-
dates and instruct their delegates to
vote for them. Lewis Bennett and w.
|
ed some weeks ago as probable or avail
able candidates, hut their names have
| been eliminated on account of Lewis
county instructing for DR.. Holt DR..
Holt is an ex-Republican and Joined
the Democratic party few years ago
on account of his party declaring in
favor of the gold standard. The name
of ]. V. Blair. Of Doddridge county, has
been recently mentioned In connection
with the Congressional nomination, but
no assurance has been given that Mr..
Blair will be or has any intention of
becoming a candidate. The majority of
| the delegates so far elected who have
| expressed preference, have declared
themselves in favor of the nomination
| Of eX-Congressman Pendletou. Mr..
Pendleton's popularity and ability as a
campaigner is conceded, and many of
bis friends believe that he could easily
defeat the Little Giant" Dovencr, who
was nominated by the Republican con-
vention. They argue tha: Pendleton
has never been defeated and would not
be defeated this time. The name of j.
W. Davis, son of ex-Cong ressnan John
j. Davis, of Clarksburg, las also been
mentioned, and it Is possible that the
Harrison county delegation may be in
structed to vote for him. There will be
no lack Of candidates when the con-
vention meets, as Democrats smell yic-
tory this year.

all agreed that Gen. Toral was

lays and the possible incidental
loss Of life which was certain to re-
suit from an attempt to carry the
town by assault, the danger of our
troops from fever and disease. and
above all, the fact that the Spanish
feet was destroyed, which has been
the real object OF the campaign, it
seemed to be the general disposition
to allow Gen. Toral to evacuate
Santiago. This would give us a
military and naval base, permit the
starving refugees to return to their

Several suggestions have been made
for the Democratic nomination for
State Senator. Friends are urging the
name of M. F. Tighe. the well-known
labor leader, for the nomination. 1t is
understood that the Republicans intend
to nominate a manufacturer and Mr.
Tighe's friends argue that his nomina-
ton will be particularly appropriate
as a representative Of the working
class. The name of John A. Weisger-
Der, prominent and popular Damo-
crat Of Webster district, has also been
suggested for the nomination. Mr..
Weisgerber would make an admirable
candidate.

The exhortation of Judge Campbell
to his supporters to stand by the nom
inee Is not taken seriously by know
ing Republicans. 1t is known that
what delegates Judge Campbell had
secured previous, to the Republican
convention yesterday was not due to
his own personal popularity, or appre-
citation Of his individual fitness for the
nomination, but went to him on ac-
count of the opposition to Captain
Dovener. This opposition is just as
strongly manifest and 1t is safe to say
will not be eradicated by election day.
1t is deep-rOoted and will be one of the
factors in the contest this fall. Dove
ner has many bitter enemies In all
parts of the district, and has alienated
some of The most influential politicians
of his party. In Marshall county, par
ticularly. this opposition to him Is very
bitter and quite number of prominent
Republicans have announced their IT.
tention of supporting the Democratic
nominee. Dovener's appointments and
record in Congress have combined to
make him far from being a popular
candidate this time and there will be
considerable element in his own parry
that will leave no stone unturned to
defeat him.

Gen. Miles was received with
great enthusiasm all along the line
and was greeted with cheers on all
sides. The general expressed him
self as being exceedingly gratified
ut the strength Of our position and
at the character of the works
thrown up. He compilmented
many of the commanding officers
personally on the work accom-
plished. To a correspondent of the
Associated Press Gen. Miles said
he was proud to command an army
which had carried the lines of hills
ION which our center rests. He
'added that there was no prouder
bage In our military annals than
that written on July 1.
In conclusion, Gen. Miles re-
parked that he felt satisfied from

Major Taylor VS.. Jimmy Michael--
Local Clubs Busy:

A few of the knowing ones are looking
forward to the defeat of Jimmy Michael
this afternoon by Major Taylor, the col
orad flyer. To back their opinion they
speak of the performances of the colored
wonder yesterday in practice. Ten miles
in "a minutes and 2 seconds was his gait
record made by Tom Linton a week ago
in competition. Taylor did his in prac-
tice. a wide difference His fastest mile
was minute 81 1-5 seconds.
The Mantle Wheelmen will turn out to-
morrow in search of fun, without definite
idea of where they will go.
A large number of the wheeling clubs
have signified their intentions Of going to
Sea Girt tomorrow as it is thought it
may be the hast chance to see the gallant
Fourth 50 near home.
Tomorrow the Arcanum Wheelmen will
go to New Dorp, S. l., and then through
the Berger Fields. The trip is a pleasant
one and a large number has decided TO
participate.
The date set for the postponed two hun
dred mile run of the Defender Cyclers to
Philadelphia and return, has not yet been
decided upon.
The officials of the twenty-five mile
road race held on the Boulevard last
Monday, has not yet been settled by any
means Mr.. Frank Eveland. the referee,
has received seventeen letters accom-
panied by affidavits stating and swearing
that the riders finished in better tnan
fifth place. The matter will be adjusted
at a meeting of the Judges, and the de-
cision thus arrived at will be final True
there will be 2 large number displeased
with any decision rendered, but seven
teen men cannot be granted positions in
better than fifth place.

but now they appreciate the fact lhat
even the name Sure Winner will not bring
victory without proper talent to support
it. The Sure Winners belong to the upper
section of the city and yesterday they
travelled to Greenville to meet two clever
amateur teams. They first enjoyed the
pleasure Of tossing with the players and
things went their way until the game
got going. The Sure Winners went to
the bat. and Green, the Players strong
twirler, began feeding them most puzzling
curves. That inning gave the visitors
two runs When the field was taken by

the box and did few contortions that
were productive OF just what the home
team seemed to want. The Sure Win

they knew their business, and though a

The Famous Miller Was at San Juan
--Whereabouts Now Unhnown,

Tommy Conneff, the orle-mile record
holder, who will be easily remembered
by all interested in athletics. Is either
dead or lost. He was with the Twelfth
Regiment at San Juan Hill and there met
a New Yorker, who was a keen lover Of
sports. OF this man conneff inquired
about Travers Island and the New York
athletic Club before the battle The New
Yorker searched for Connect after the
fray, but was unable to find him, and it
is feared that he died on the field Of
battle.
Conneff was known throughout the
country where track athletics fiourished
and if he died as suspected many adj
mirer will be deeply grieved. He was we'll
known here on account of his wonderful
performance at the New Jersey Athletic
Clubs grounds on Labor Day, 1886
