It's all over now except the shouting,
and, according to the latest advices
from steubenvifie. that Is going on yet,
and is likely to continue indefinitely in
Jefferson county.
Over in Belmont county. on the other
hand. there is darkness and gloom from
the river front to the dark borders of
Monroe, and beyond among the hills
and wales OF Harrison no note Of glad
ness stlrs the crisp September air, for
both weems and HoIlIngsworth are
beaten, and their friends, while pledg-
ing hearty support to Mr.. Gill, are too

Lorenzo Danford in the national house
Of representatives,
When the convention adjourned We'd
nesday night, the weems people hoped
to be able to swing the Carroll "twen-
ty-one" into their column Thursday
morning. which would have given their
leader within two OF enough to nomi-
nate. True. Carroll did change Thurs
dag morning, but not to Weems. In
stead, these votes went to Gill, as did
the entire thirteen Of Monroe. making
the total Gill vote 70, only flve short
OF the nomination.
This was the situation when the noon
adjournment came. At that time the
weems people had not entirely given up
the contest, and an effort was made to
unite Belmont and Harrison on weems,
a combination that would have given
him the prize with three votes to
spare. General Holllngsworth. how
ever, declined to withdraw, and in addi-
ton 1t was brought out that the coun-
ty could not be delivered In Its en-
urety to weems. there being many in
the delegation whose second choice
was Gill. Also, 1t was discovered that
Belmont could not be swung over to
Hslllngsworth for the same reason

was ascertained. Mr.. Weems and his

Though there is disappointment
