Rumor That the Offices of the Road
Will be Moved to New York Dis
credited.

The Baltimore Sun says there was
some interest shown in financial cir
Giles yesterday in report that credited
the interests recognizing the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad with the intention to
remove the headquarters of the COM
pany from Baltimore to New York.
This is the story that has been revived
periodically for years, ever since the
New York interests of the property be-
came large. 1t is regarded as absurd
by those familiar with the railroad, as
not only does its charter operate against
such project, but good business judg-
ment wouldn't tolerate proposition to
move the machinery of operation OF
the road away from its most important
city to city that it does not even
reach over its own tracks.
It Is thought, however, possibility
of the future that the management of
the Baltimore & Ohio may follow the
example of other big railroads and have
the executive head of the road sta
toned In New York. The duties of the
president of a big railroad are year by
year becoming closer to the financial
interests that control the property, and
this has caused the location In New
York of the offices of the presidents of
a number Of lines. In all such cases
the headquarters of the company are
continued at some place on the line of
the road. AS an illustration of this. the
Southern Railway, which is one of the
largest railroad properties that has un-
dergone reorganization, maintains its
headquarters In Washington and has
IT. president In New York.

The delegates started to leave tn
hall, while several called for Dovensr.
The doughty Captain was on the ves-
anda, and there was not much enthu-
siasm when he walked into the hall and
upon the stage.
A LITTLE SPEECHIFYING.
Capt. Dovener pleaded that his vu1ce
was not in tune. but promised that DIR
ing the campaign he would be heard
from every stump and hustings In the
district He had read with pleasure TIE
platform of the convention. and the
only matter he desired to discuss was
the question Of civil service reform.
He said very little on the subject. how
ever, beyond telling humorous story.
He thanked the convention for the
compliment 1t had paid him, and then
passed to discussion of the war, CIV
ing expression to some very pretty
patriotic sentiments. He closed with
an appeal for harmony.
There were calls for Judge Camp
bell. and he responded. He was greeted
with the heartiest cheer OF the day. He
feeiingly thanked those who had rallied
around his standard during the briee
campaign, and promised that his voice
and influence will be exerted for the
success of the ticket. Recognizing the
principle that THE will Of the majuRity
should govern, he bowed complacently
to the verdict OF the convention. The
judge read his speech from manuscript.
Its relevancy to the occasion, In subject
matter. was not apparent to the dele
gates. 1t was a scholarly. philosophical
effort, and was not appreciated. A
display OF oratorical pyrotechnics was
much more needed, as there had been

the result was announced there was q

Ohio, and the vote was taken by q

ty was not delegate and should be

IT WAS HILARIOUS.
The Campbell delegation from Tyler
retired from the hall, leaving half
dozen Doyener delegates to represent
the county. The roll call resulted in
the adoption OF the committees report.
Considerable times was consumed IN
securing the vote OF the counties and a
number of lively discussions were TAX
ing place tn different sections of the
hall. While an effort was being made
to prevent the few remaining Tyler
delegates from voting on the question,
Mr. Blackmere announced that Tyler
did not desire to vote. There was con-
fusion in all parts of the hall, and the
chairman was besieged with questions
as to the proper way OF dividing the
votes of the respective counties. Mar
shall, Gilmer and Ohio were divided
and it was some time before any of
them were prepared to vote. Speeches
were being made and the sound of All
mated talk added to the general con-
fusion. The fight in Marshall was
prolonged for fully a quarter of an
hour. On the motion to adopt the
committees report the counties voted

The 'Idttle Giant" the Goliath of
the First district Republicans, was
yesterday named, as the victim of the
David who shall be chosen by the
Democracy in convention assembled
at Weston.
The Republican hosts gathered at
the Park Casino to ratify the pro-
gramme previously cut and dried by
the bosses of the district, for the lesser
lights have long since learned that in
cheerful asquiescence Hes their hope of
future preferment. But there were
those among the delegates who man
ifested a disposition to kick over the
traces. The recalcitrants, whose affec-
ton for Campbell is coeval with the
filing of certain Offices at the dicta-
tion Of the Little Giant" gave a tinge
of animation to what would otherwise
have been the tamest ratification meet
ing ever held in the district.
They were very persistent in their
defiance Of the ring and it's methods.
and this attitude, taken in connection
with their threats of retaliation at the
polls, lends peculiar significance to
their conduct Harmony, the erst-
while boast of the party leaders, was
conspicuous by it's absence. While the
manikins danced when the bosses man
ipulated the strings, the kickers were
having hilarious old time.
The big battle Of the convention
there were score or more of minor
skirmishes-was precipitated by the
contest over the admission of delegates
from Tyler county. which is not only
a centre OF oleaginous opulence, but
the home of practical" politics. The
appointment of George Work to be
postmaster of Sistersville, marked the
birth of the faotional fight. Work is a
young man, Wheelingite until a few
years ago, whose service to the e. O. o..
is sufficiently indicated by his name.
But there were native Sistersvilleans
whose life long fealty to Republican
principles was ignored, and who looked
upon the subject of the doughty Cap
tain's recommendation as an importa-
ton, implying lack of confidence in
home grown material. To their notion
the native product was equally capable
of conducting the exchange of postage
stamps for the coin of the realm, and
they anxiously awaited the opportun-
ity for rehabilitation. 1t came when
Judge Campbell revealed the fact that
the Congressional bee was buzzing in
his hat.
The Tyler delegates were selected by
mass convention, system which is
palpably wrong. Lincoln district, en-
bracing Sistersville, was represented
by sixty-three Republicans. When the
district representatives retired to choose
delegates it was discovered that there
were thirty-three Dovener and thirty
Campbell men. The latter withdrew
and presented minority report, which
the convention adopted. The Dovener
delegation decided to appeal to the
district convention.
The factional fight waxed so warm
that Judge CampbeH's delegates disre-
guarded his request to remain at home
In the interest Of harmony, and pre-
scented their credentials, properly GER
titled to, at yesterdays convention.
The recommendation of the committee
was an effort at compromise, but the
Campbell men were uncomprcm.sing.
The action Of the convention is told in
the details Of the proceedings publish

AFTERNOON SESSION.
A Monkey and a Parrot Time Before
the Nomination of Dovener.


1t was shortly after two o'clock
when the temporary chairman raped
for order. Half the delegates were in
their seats, and others struggled into
the building during the next thirty
minutes. The reports of committees
was the first order of business. The
report of the committee on order of
business was adopted. The committee
on permanent organization recommends
ed Col. George w. Curtin for perma-
nent chairman, and he was unanimous
ly chosen. He heartily thanked the
convention and expressed the opinion
thot he had been chosen because the
time was short and he was not a
speechmaker.
Upon motion of Mr.. II. c. Richardc,
of Ohio, all representatives of Repub-
lican papers published in the district
were made assistant secretaries.
The report of the committee ON Gre
dentials was presented by Mr.. Snyder,
Of Ohio. He stated that the only con-
test was in Tyler county. Mr.. Snyder
and the chairman held several short
conferences regarding the proper meth
Cd of placing the matter before the
convention. Mr.. Snyder several times
started to read the credentials from the
two sets Of delegates from Lincoln dis
trict, Tyler county, and he was each
time interrupted. A delegate after
some time Strengthened the matter out
by stating that the committee had
passed upon the matter The chairman
decided the question: to be1Gup6h the
adoption of the report, and ruled out
the reading of the evidence brought
before the committee The committee
recommended that all Republicans from
Tyler be entitled to seats in the con-
vention.
THE FUN BEGINS.
O. W. o. Hardman, of Tyler, took
the platform and made a red hot
speech. He denied that the contest had
been amicably settled in the commit
tee and insisted upon fair treatment
He asked that the Campbell delegates
be permitted to vote, and added that if
they were strangled in the convention
1t would be at the expense of the gen.
tleman who would be the nominee of
the convention. He insisted that the
delegates elected by the mass conven-
ton in Tyler, whose election was duly
and properly certified, should be per-
mitted to vote their sentiments in the
convention. The speaker was several
times interrupted by applause.
Mr.. Blackmere, of Sistersville, re-
piled to Senator Hartman In a vigor-
Gus speech, in which he shed a flood
Of light ON the bull-dozing methods
employed In the Republican factional
fights in Tyler. He covered the pro-
ceedings OF the convention in detail.
and In his argument to prove that the
Dovener delegates were "the people"
charged that the county convention
was packed and the will Of the major
ity was throttled by brute force"
When Senator Hartman arose to re-
ply there were cries of vote" from all
parts of the house.

Hardman. after being recognized, you
