That the present season is not going to
be as dull as has been feared because OF
by greater demand for summer cottages
to let than there is supply of the same,
and by the fact that already some OF the

Capt. John Gilley has moved the rear
ell OF the Dirigo back some 100 feet, and
men are excavating for cellar to the new

.MR. GEORGE
is MAKING
H1EADWA'Y.
Among the Ohio County Senatorial
confereeg, and he May be Nom
mated This Afternoon.
A LENGTH. CONFERENCE HELD.
Friday Afternoon, at Which No De-
termination rs to United Action
Was Arrived at.

Z 10 = = q
Yesterday afternoon committee
representing the Wellsburg Trades
Assembly came to Wheeling for the
purpose OF furthering the interests OF
Mr.. Samuel George the Wellsburger,
who has been endorsed by Brooke
county for the senatorial nomination ut
to-day's convention at weilsburg, The
committee was composed OF Messrs.
George Patterson, John Longbottom,
Joseph Combs, Sol Combs, Robert
Combs, E. D. Mooney and John ]. MUIR
ply.
The committee first met n committee
Of Wheeling glassworkers, members OF
the union In North Wheeling, but Il
is said that the conference was not at
tended by representatives of the two
other local unions OF the Flints, Nos.
0 and g. The two committees later
met in the flrst branch council cham
Der, city building, with the Ohio coun-
ty senatorial conferees, and thoroughly
discussed the situation With reference
to Mr.. Georges candidacy. The two
committees reported totheconferees that
any trouble that might have occurred
In Mr.. Georges factories was without
his knowledge; that George had
unlonized his plants and that the sit-i
uation is now perfectly satisfactory. 1t
was also stated that President John
KunEler, OF the American Flint Glass
workers. Union, had written letter,
stating that the George glass works
are now union, and that his candidacy
would not be opposed by the Fllnts as
an organization.
The committees left. and the confer
ees continued the discussion. II came
out that number OF the conferees
were not convinced that the nomina-
ton OF George would be wise. It was
stated that although some Of the
Wheeling sglassworkers had appeared.
In favor OF his candidacy, two other
unions will work against him II nom
mated. It was suggested that before
the nomination is made there should
be further Investigation as to how the
unlon-labor people In Ohio county will
receive Mr.. George as candidate for
senator. 1t was determined that the
Ohio county conferees would meet In
Wellsburg to-dnytat noon for the .pur.
pose Of going over the situation In de-
tail, and endeavor II necessary In the
interest OF party success. to delay the
nomination four or FIVE days or week.
This would mean the adjournment Of
the convention to-day without the
naming of candidate.
There is disposition, howevr, among
some Of the Ohio county conferees to
support Mr.. George. and It would not
be surprising II he were nominated
this afternoon.

HEERMANs ON BRYAN.
Though He Was Heard by Large
Crowd, Enthusiasm Was aShv.u

D. : VA.
Though He Was Heard by a Large
Crowd, Enthusiasm Was "shy.n
s Mr. Bryan's speech making tour Of
West Virginia was not brilliant sue
cess, according to many OF the non.
partisan newspaper Correspondents who
accompanied him upon his itinerary.
Mr.. Ed. NJ. Heermans accompanied the
Bryan party upon tho trip through
West Virginia and Maryland. writing a
daily report for the New York Sun.
While in Wheeling yesterday morning,
Mr.. Heermans talked with a represent
tatiVe OF the Intellgencer about the
trip.
He said that Bryan had good crowds
everywhere but at Parkersburg. There
the attendance was even disappointing
to the local committee. Six thousand
people heard Bryan at Parkersburg, but
they, came mostly from tho city AMI
,vicinity. The GOODNESS OF Mr.. Bryan's
audiences almost everywhere, was
marked. AT shepherdstown and
C!arksburg the county fairs were in full
blast, which partly accounts for The
large turn out.
Throughout West Virginia." said
Mr.. Heermans, "the interestin Mr.. Bry-
ans trip was that Of curious people,
who ut this season of the year are
eager for a holiday. They would flock
TO their country towns to see and hear
any man of national repute. The pco-
pie stared ut Bryan in Amusement when
he screamed out to them in laundering
tones that they were not prosparing.and
that good times were on the wane.
"Those multltudes were enabled to
have the holiday and privileged to see
and hear the Nebraskan orator. because
OF their prosperity. The men and
women were unusually well dressed,
and the men could Jingle coins In their
pockets. They marveled ut Bryan's
urgent remarks that they were not en-
joylng good times. Bryan told the
ciatksburg people. right within sight OF
new glass works. a new railroad and a
score of other signs OF prosperity, that
they were having hard times. The local
Democratic committee at Clarksburg
had whispered to Mr.. Bryan while driv-
Ing to the grove, that good times was
the Republican argument that was In
jurlng the Democratic cause In Harrl-
son county. Hence Mr.. Bryan's on.
slaught upon prosperity"
Mr.. Heernans said he asked Mr..
Bryan after the meeting. why he had
taken up the calamity cry again. He
said he expected to devote much time
and many speeches to the subject OF the
unstableness of prosperity. in view OF
the fact that he anticipated many labor
agltations and 4 great strike among
the anthracite miners.
1t was rather amusing that Mr.. Bry-
IN preached hard times to the Clarlss-
burg crowd. when upon the very plat
form upon which he spoke, sat
Col. T. Moore Jackson. the Democrat
who declined the congressional nomi.
nation in this district, who upon his
own statement Thursday to the CORES
pondents, said he was too busy MAX
Ing money to be In politics." Mr.. Jack
son drove the newspaper correspon-
dents from the train to the grove In his
carriage. The calamity cry" did not
set well with him.
