SISTERSVILLE. August 27.-The in
dications tonight are that the first
district Democratic convention which
will convene here tomorrow, will be
one OF the biggest and most harmoni-
GUS held for long time. So far, only
few scattering delegates have arrived,
the majority not being expected before
tomorrow morning.
From those who have already ar
rived. it has been CLEANED that there
will be full turnout
The question which is paramount to-
night is who will get the nomination,
and it Is question that will be hard
to answer. So far there have been six
persons mentioned for the honor-Col.
T. Moore jackson, of Narksburg; Col
Benjamin Wilson, Col. w. w. Arnett.
Andrew Edmiston, John o. Pendleton
and w. w. BranRon.
OF the six men named, Mr. Jackson
of Clarksburg, seems 20 be in the lead.
Mr.. Jackson for quite while refused
TO allow his name TO go before the con-
veption on accountof his immense bus
mess interests taking up SO much of
his time, but on the earnest sohcita-
ton of his friends, and for the welfare
of his party, he has recon Sfdered the
matter, and his name will come. before
the convention with good prospects Of
his winning out.
The only man of the many who have
been talked about who will give Jack
son any kind of fight is Hon. John o.
Pendleton, of Ohio county. Andrew
Edmiston is third on the list. and the
other three are running together.
According to a number OF the COM
mittee who was seen this evening Jack
son wiIl get the nomination ON the
first ballot sure, and may possibly get
it by reclamation.
Col Jackson is the president of the
short-line railroad, and is we'll known
all over the district, and many are of
the opinion that he can do more to de-
feat Dovener than any man that can be
put up.
Judge J. H. Holt, nominee for Gov
ernor, has sent word that it will be i'm
possible for him 10 be here.
Hon. Stewart Walker, of Martins
burg, and Hon. George N. Mccoy, nom
inee for attorney-general, will address
the meeting.

SUTTON, W. Va, August 27.-Judge
Holt addressed here to-day the largest
number of people that ever assembled
in this county for any purpose, and the
meeting was composed of the highest
character of citizenship of this SPLEEN
did old Democratic stronghold.
The court house, in which political
meetings have generally been held,
proved entirely too small to hold this
| immense throng, and the meeting had
| to be held in the open air, where the
large crowd stood, many Of them in
the sun, and listened with unbroken
attention for an hour and half while
| the eloquent young statesman, a native
OF the county, discussed in singularly
clear and lucid manner the issues now
confronting the people.
Mr.. Holt began hts speech by beau
tiful tribute to the people of BraxtoR,
among whom his early years were
spent, and declared that it was from
them that he learned the lessons which
had brought to HIM whatever of sue
cess with which he could be credited.
1t was here that he had drunk in those
lessons Of liberty anGrdemocracy with
which the people of the county must
meet the crisis that was now upon them
If they would preserve for the use of
future generations, the heritage of free
dom which had come to them from
the fathers of the republic.
He took up the policy of the Re-
publican administration and showed
that if carried out it would inevitably
lead to the loss of freedom OF the peo-
pie and the
Destruction of the Republic
for it was impossible for any country to
maintain system of colonial govern
ment for its dependencies abroad and
a republican form of government for
its own people al home.
He showed how the size of the
standinf army would be gradually add
ed to by the necessity for large force
abroad, and that not only would II
greatly increase the burden OF taxation
of the people, but it would finally be
used by the ambitious and designing
| for their Subjugation and enslavement.
ne dTTdlBHeQ the administration lOE
its record on the question of trusts,
showing how the farmer was forced to
pay more for everything he purchased
but reaped no benefit in the way of
higher price for anything he had to
SELL
Taking up State matters, he showed
how the present Governor had failed
in his constitutional duty when he re-
fused to call a special election to
choose senators in place of GetZendan-
ner and Pierson after they had re-
signed their seats by the acceptance
of commissions in the army, was clear
ly in
Violation of the Constellation
and violative of the rights of the peo-
pie to choose their own senators. He
declared that the same spirit that dis
franchised men and kept them out of
the courts in the sixties, was rampant
now and that opportunity was the only
thing lacking for it to make itself man
ifest.
He closed with an eloquent appeal
to patriots to save their country by
placing in power the party that has
always stood for the common people,
against the aggressions of those en-
dowed with special privileges and for
their rights against the encroachments
of those ambitious for power.
