Sheriff Richards, Circuit Court Clerli
Henning and almost twenty-five others
Mayor C. B. Scott, of Bethany. and sew
eral others from the Pan Handle went
out on the midnight train.
The convention is likely to be a brief
affair, there being but two active can-
dldates In the field for delegate, in the
person Of Colonel Morris Horkheimer
of Ohio county, and Captain Daniel U,
o'Brien, of Gilmer county. Doubtless
the pair will go through without oppo-
sltion. AS to the alternates there has
been little talk in advance Of the con-
vention.
The same delegation goes to Fair
mont on Tuesday for the state delegate
convention, where four delegates-at-
large and four MISUNDERSTANDING to
the national convention will be chosen.

convention IS only Mckinley ratihca-
ton meeting this year, there is not thu
usual scramble for the honor OF attend

Of Mr.. John Frew, of Wheeling, are
mentioning his name, and it meets with
hearty approval Mr. Frew, however,
