cry man is admirably fitted for the
Position for which he is Placed in

ness Transacted Everything is har
monious and Everything is in good
shape -McGraw heartily endorsed.
Work OF the Meeting-The County
Committee is reorganized John
alexander Retires aud j. j. Wharton
is Elected to fill the yacancy-Full
Proceedings of both Meetings.
The Democrats of the county held
their convention on Saturday in the
feed store CT Jason Clark in South
Morgantown. The morning was a
very bad one and a great many peo-
pie were kept away by that fact
However the attendance was much
better than was expected and those
who were there were very enthusiast
astic.
A county ticket was nominated
and every man was placed in nomi-
nation because he was fitted in an
eminent degree to perform the du-
ties which the office for which he
was named imposes on man and
not because of some other reason and
in the face Of the fact of unfitness.
Every man named goes before the
people representing the best inter
ests of the county in every way and
their election would in no case he a
mistake. This cannot be said Of all
the tickets that have been named
in the county this fall.
There is a great deal of dissatis-
faction among the Republicans over
the nominations that they have made
and the opportunity is now given
those who are disgruntled a chance
to vote for man who does represent
what they want and who would be
an ornament to the office for which
he is named
The convention was called to Or
der by the county chairman John
Alexander who called S. G.. Stewart
to the chair On motion Justin M
Kunkle was made secretary. The
temporary organization was made
permanent on motion.
A committee composed Of one del
egate from each district was APP
pointed on order of business and
basis of representation. All Demo
Gratis present were made delegates.
The committee reported that the
nominations should be first for
houseof delegates, next county com
missioner and then county superin-
tendent of free schools.
T. p Reay placed in nomination
for the house of delegates Mr. Van
| A. Barrickman and he was unani-
mously nominated. He responded
to calls for speech in short and
happy address. The impression that
he made was a good one and he will
make a good canvass. He represents
our greatest interest being student
at the University. Should he be
elected there is no reason to think
that wewould lack anything in that
direction. His other qualifications
for the Office are excellent
For county commissioner Lance
lot West, of Clinton and Garrison
Mcclure, of Morgan, were named
and on roll call Mcclure was nomi-
mated He stands for every interest
of the town and county and would
be the best choice for the position
He will receive a large vote in the
county.
For county superintendent S. j.
Snider placed in nomination Alex
ander Eddy, Of Battelle district and
he was nominated by reclamation.
This is very good selection and he
will run well. There is great deal
of dissatisfaction with the Republi-
can nominee and the chance is now
given to vote for man who is thor
oughly qualified for the position.
There is every possible reason why
he should receive the suffrages of
the people who are interested in ed
ucation in the county and who do
not care to sec it 60 back any.
The members Of the county exec
utive committee were then confirm
ed as follows:
Battelle district, Dan L. Tenant
and the E. j. Eddy; Cass, w. p.
Barker and Lorenzo Davis; Clay, r.
S. Lantz and S. j. Snider; Clinton,
Solomon Frum and Clark Powell |
