Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-06-10

Judge John H. Holt, of Huntington,
Democratic nominee for Governor of
West Virginia, arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon to join his wife, who
has been visiting relatives in Leather
wood. He still complains of the loss of
sleep and fatigue incident to the ex-
element of the convention, but when
seen by a Register reporter was in
excellent spirits and talked freely con
corning the convention which made
him the standard bearer of Democracy
in this State. He will remain here I'M
til Monday morning. and during that
time will probably be called upon by
most of the leaders of the party in this
county.
Ohio county did not support Judge
Holt in the convention for several rea-
sons, the principal being thathe was
late in announcing himself and that it
was the belief of many of the delegates
that the candidacy of Joseph Handlan
for Auditor would be best served by
| giving the vote of the delegation to
Judge Tavenner. Judge Holt had
many warm friends among the dele
! gates, and his nomination gives gen.
eral satisfaction. He had a hearty

met yesterday and all OF whom as
sured him that they stood ready to
take off their coats to work for him in
November.
Il don't know how the Democrats in
this section of the State feel about it,"
said Judge Holt, "but in the central
and lower portions of the State they
feel almost certain of victory. Or
| course it will require organization and
work, but this will be done. Consid-
cradle attention will be paid to the an
ticipated attempt to run in illegal vot-
ers among the miners, and none who
are not entitled to vote will be per-
mitted to do so. 1t is too early to talk
about when | expect to enter upon a
personal canvass"
Judge Holt feels very much gratifed
over the personal assurances of hearty
support which he has received from
those who opposed him in the conven-
ton.
Francis V. Yoho is making an ex-
cellent race for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Sheriff of Marshall county.
1t is understood that j. w. Dunlevy,
who has been mentioned in connection
with the place, has declined to be con-
sidered as a candidate.
There are a great many Democrats
in the First district, and some Repub-
licans as we'll, who think Hon. John
w. Davis, of C%arksburg, can defeat
has turned a deaf ear to the importuni-
ties of his friends, however, and may
be considered out of the race. 1t will
be many weeks until the Congressional
Convention is held, and many names
will be suggested in the meantime.
One name frequently heard is that of
Hon. Ira C. Post, of Harrison county,
father of Hon. Melville D. Post, of this
city.
There was a ratification meeting by
the Ohio county delegates to the State
Convention, on the steamer Urania,
while returning from Parkersburg.
The boys were feeling in excellent
humor over the nominations, notwith-
standing their candidates for the two
principal places on the ticket were
turned down. All resolved to support
the ticket, ana StfOnS SpeecHeS "eIe
made by Mayor Sweeney and Joseph
Handlan, of this city, and Mr.. Bam-
brick, of Hancock county. One re-
mark made by Mr.. Bambrick, who was
discussing the fact that the Panhandle
was left out in the cold, is so express
i've though a trife inelegant, that it is
worthy of repetition: They may keep
the pan as hot as hi, but they'll even
tually have to take hold of the handle"
