Perhaps / ought to add that our
committee is unanimously of the opin-
ion that Republican success can best
De obtained by the selection of a cam
didate for governor from New Castle

There is a general sentiment among
the Republicans Of New Castle county

Yours very truly,
PHILIP @. CHURCHMAN,
Chairman.
AS further proof Of the good faith and
intentions of the Republicans It may

OUR PARIS LETTER.
Comparing the Great Exposition
With the Worlds Fair at
Chicago.
The Travelling Statesmen OF European
Countries Contrasted With Ours.
FROM our special corresponden,.

From our Special Correspondents.
PARIS, FRANCE, Aug. 7, 1000.
The questions most frequently asked
about the Paris Exposition are. "Is
It success ?" and GLOW do you
think 1t compares with the Worlds
Fair at Chicago ?" A whole
volume, even an encyclopedias
might be written IN reply to eithe r
OF these questions. For Paris, the
Exposition is success. 1t has
brought thousands of visitors and
millions of francs to the city and
has convinced the world for the
hundredth time that there is no
capital Qet us be thankful for the
fact) like Paris. 1t is a tremendous
advertisement for the articles of
luxury and taste for which Paris is
famous. 1t has averted or perhaps
only postponed political crisis
which, in France, is always pre-
tentious of revolution. History
may be able to record that this Ex-
position by its restraining influence,
imposing good behavior on a host
at national entertainment enabled
the nation to tide over and amelio-
rate the conditions which threatened

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic Congressional
convention at Martinsburg. We'd
nesday of last week, was well at
tended and large, harmonious and
enthusiastic gathering. State Sena-
tor John J. Cornwell,, of Romney.
was Chairman and ex- Postmaster C..
w. Boyer, of Marunsburg, was Sec.
rotary of the Convention. Colonel
Thomas b. Davis, of Piedmont. was
nominated for Congress by accla-
nation. His name was presented
by Stuart w. Walker, of Martins
burg, and no other name was before
the Convention. Col. Davis &C.
'cepted the nomination in a short
speech, in which he declared that
he was no speaker, but a plain bust
ness man, and if elected would de-
vote himself to the business duties
of the office, and thought perhaps a
business man would make as good
Congressman as lawyer or any
one else.
"A new Congressional Committee
was elected, composed of one mem
Der from each county. DR.. William
M. Dent, the old wheel-horse of
Democracy at Newburg, was elected
as the member for Preston county
Judge John Homer Holt, of
Huntington, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor, was present and
made a magnificent speech to the
Convention, arousing great enthu-
siam.
Those who were present from
this county were William G.. Brown
and Ben l.. Brown, of Kinpwood;
Dr. VIM. M. Dent, of Newburg;
Col. w. !. Lavelle, of Tunnelton

a death struggle with the allied
forces of militarism and Catholic
ism. If the Exposition shall have
done all this it is at least local
success. 1t, of course, has done
more. l hope it has opened the
eyes of some Americans to the very
formidable rivalry of Germany,
Hungary, Of Italy and of Russia, in

that we will spend too much energy
