and the flour, eggs and butter used are wasted.
This is because they made from inferior

1t was next to impossible to proceed
with the balloting. There was dis
order in all parts of the hall as soon
as the roll call of counties commenced.
A veritabe Pandemonium reigned. An
unavailable effort was made to clear
the aisles. and in sheer desperation
Chair Mckinney announced that bus
mess was suspended and dispatched a
messenger for police officers.
Harrison was announced solid for
Tavenner, but Camden Sommers, from
that county, announced that there were
six votes for Holt, but the delegation
had adopted the unit rule He charged
that this had been done unfairly. More
disorder followed. Jno. d. Anderson
secured recognition and demanded that
order be preserved. Prof Jno. ID.
Sweeney supplemented his remarks
with a statement that 1000 rooters had
been admitted to the wigwam and ao-
tually crowded the delegates out of
their seats. He insisted that some del
egates be appointed as officers with in
structions to eject all outsiders. Root
erS and the gag rule can't run our
candidate" shouted Mr.. Anderson. The
trouble in the Harrison delegation con-
tinued, and the convention was in an
uproar. The chair ruled that the dele
cation had not the right to enforce the
unit rule. Harrison's vote was then
announced as "19 votes for Tavenner
and six votes for the other Teller. I"
Berkeley was the first to change, giving
Iavenner a small gain. Kanawha
changed from Flournoy to Holt Hamp-
shire and Grant changed TO Holt, and
Monongalia went solid TO TaVenner.
The changes were being made to Holt,
but there was so much confusion that
the chair recognized no person, There
was great enthusiasm among the Holt
supporters, however. When order was
restored the roll was called again for
changes, and they came rapidly. The
vote as originally taken gave Lewis 81,
and Flournoy 9S. Most of this strength
was given to Judge Holt, but Judge
Tayennerss friends remained steadfast
and loyal. Both men gained, but laoit
more than Tavenner. The vote was 80
close and the confusion so general that
both sides at first regarded the victory
as theirs. The scene was that Of IN
describable confusion, with all the del
egates talking or cheering at the same
time. w. E. r. Byrne, an ardent Holt
supporter, mounted the reporters desk
and f1ourishing his umbrella in the
air shouted repeatedly Holt is nomi-
mated Holt is nominated" An hour
and three-quarters were consumed in
taking the ballot and 1t was a few
minutes before midnight when the re-
suit was announced.

AND THE ROLL CALL WENT ON.

The roll call proceeded. When Jack
son county was reached. S. F. Parsons
took the stage to name Virgil A. Lewis.
He was youngful in appearance, but
possessed clear, resonant voice. and
was heard in all parts OF the wigwam.
He attacked the national and State adj
ministrations for their corruption, and
said that now as never before the
times demand candidate who can de-
pose of the rottenness Of Republican
rule. While the speaker was eulogiz-
ing his candidate and before he named
him. several delegations attempted to
interrupt him with calls of Name
your man The applause this time
was confined to few county delega-
lions.
Again the roll call proceeded until
Kanawha was reached. General c. c.

Thousands have been cured of palpita-
ton liver trouble, shortness of breath, pain
in the side, backache, and numerous other
complaints by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This medicine acts
directly upon the stomach the organs of
digestion and nutrition and the blood max
ing glands, and the fact that it cures so
many forms of disease is the best proof that
these diseases originate in the stomach and
must be cured through the stomach.

The roll of counties was then called

Stewart w. Walker took the stage and

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-06-07

increase of more than forty per centum
in the annual expenses of the State in
six years. In open defiance of the ex-
plicit provision of the Constitution it
has refused to publish the customary
report of the receipts and disburse-
ments of public moneys. SO that the
people may have an opportunity OF
learning in detail what sums are re-
ceived into the treasury and to whom
and for what purpose the public funds
are paid out. To repay old services of
party sub-bosses it robbed the State
treasury of over $4,000 in single
lump, under the pretense OF paying
military claims that had been repudiat-
ed by a non-partisan Legislature more
than a quarter of century before.
ITO reward hungry claimants for
party recognition more indirec.iy at the
public expense, it has practically
wrecked the management OF some or
the State institutions by making out OF
them mere local political machines, to
be run as adjuncts to itself, the great
central head of the political oligarchy
of the State. AS the natural result OF
such political manipulations, laXlty OF
methods and wasteful extravaganza are
now dominate in the conduct OF those
institutions. (Adopted.)
I'm the management and conduct of
the penitentiary, to cover up an mel
ficient management, 1t procured, under
a per capita contract from plant
federal administration, felons con-
victed of crimes in other States
and Territories and sold and
to-day is selling the labor Of
these imported convicts to contractors
in competition with the honest labor
of West Virginia citizens against the
protest of every labor union in the
State.
THE conduct of all departments of
the State government, the manage
ment of all State institutions, the dis
tribution of offices and the character
of those IN charge of the campaign
equipment, all show that the Republic
can party of West Virginia is now run
on lines of practical, commercial pol
itics without any pretense OF consld-
ering the interests of the people or
observing the common decencies or
proprieties of public life. Every con-
vention is in charge of trained fed
eral or State office holders, nearly all
candidates are already feeding at the
public crib and now either asking for
another term or to be changed from
an old place to new one. Judges of
courts act openly as chairmen of coun-
ty conventions and county commit
tees. Other county officers illegally
discharge the duties of election offic-
ials
''The Democratic party therefore asks
to be restored to the direction and con-
troll of the government of West Vir-
ginia in the assured belief that such a
restoration will result in more honest
and efficient conduct of public affairs in
the State, in the prevalence of a higher
moral tone throughout all the institu-
tions of the State and in the greater
material prosperity and happiness of
the whole people.
The reading of the resolutions was
interrupted by applause at many
stages.
