In the meantime, according to the
legation of Japan here, the japanese
by no means share the general opln-
ion that the advance on Pekin must
be Indefinitely delayed. The officials as
sert that the Japanese have no inten-
ton OF hating at Taku or Tien Tsin
but propose to advance on Pekin dur-

authorities express the opinion that the
10000 of their troops, in addition to
the international forces, already avail

to the Chinese capital.

RIDICULES THE IDEA.

Swisher.
RIDICULES THE IDEA.
He ridicules the idea that Swish
er's delegation would be turned
over to Hail. Swisher could not
deliver the vote of Marion to Hall
if he desired to do so, and would
not dare to do it. There are, he
said, many ambitious young states
men in Marion who are looking
forward to a State Office or a seat
in Congress some time in the near
future. They could not afford to
turn down a candidate from their
own district to help a man in an
other district. Mr.. Scherr's name
will be presented to the conven-
ton by Judge Frank Reynolds,
of Keyser.
HALL MAKES SOME CLAIMS.
Like Scherr, ]. X. Hall is claim
ing enough votes to secure his cleo
ton on the first ballot. He de-
clines to say where they will
come from, but confidently asserts
that his nomination is a foregone
conclusion.
His lieutenant, Chas. Henning, is
ooualIx, confident uo cavc tho
lines are SO closely drawn that they
can tell exactly how every man
will vote and that they know ex-
actly how many votes they will
have. They are sure of nomina-
ton on the first ballot.
Senator Elkins visited Halls
headquarters tonight and was
closeted with the Wheeling man in
a private room for some time.
What Encouragement, if any, the
Senator gave to Mr.. Hall is not
known, but it is believed that his
good offices were earnestly sought
TO save Ohio county's candidate
from defeat.
Since the arrival of the root
ers from Wheeling this afternoon
the fight for Hall has been waged
with considerable more vigor and
such leaders as w. P. Hubbard,
Sheriff Richards, Nanny Buchanan
Harry Mcclure and Nate Fields are
straining every nerve to gain votes
for their man.
