NFEMS OR Gill

With General Hollingsworth Dan.
gerous Factor, Is tho way the SituR.
tIon is Sized up Over the River.
Everybody in the over-the-river dis
trict yesterday was guessing on the eff
feet OF the uniooked-for contests in Sc
curing congressional delegates for the
Martins Ferry convention. The effect
of the result of the only real contest,
up In Jefferson county, was easily fig
ured out by some people, and It was
conceded that the delegates selected by
General HoIIlngsworth's friends In one
or two Belmont precincts would not
break the solid delegation for Mr..
Weems, ut least until their candidate
got close to the goal,
In Washington township, however, an
attempt to instruct the delegates for
the general as O second choice was
voted down. The delegates are for Mr..
Weems and will stay with him until
they know whether a second choice is
necessary or not.
Hon. j. ]. Gill was kept busy in his
own county and seems not to have
worked his friends in Belmont, but not
withstanding this there 10 very consld-
cradle feeling for him in parts Of the
county, and some talk about him as a
second choice.
There will be much work done by
all Of the candidates this week. Bel
mont's candidate has shown himself an
expert in that line and has apparently
the longest line out for retaining the
lead in the contest.
The vote of little Carroll will cut
quite figure, and II 1t lands solldly
anywhere there will be no deadlock,
and 1t is the general talk that Mr.. Finn
pie and his friends, while they are out
for that nomination, IL they cannot get
It, they want 1.-THE next best thing"
It looks like Weems or Gill, but Hol-
lIngsworth got in few surprises in
the primaries and maybe he can keep 1t
up.
