AN OPINION ON THE TICKET.
A West Virginia Republican Who
Sees Things as They Are-Littie
Hope for Any Part of the Ticket
EXCEPT the Electors,

me EISctOEss
Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 17.-Con-
corning the State Republican convention
Tor West Virginia, recently held at Char
lesion, q very prominent party worker
from that State who is spending a few
days in this city attending to some pri-
waite business affairs, had this to say
this morning concerning the proceedings
of that body:
80 far as | am enabled to judge from
the report of the convention published in
the newspapers the only real enthusiasm
manifested during the entire convention
consisted in the grand ovation rendered
Congressman Freer, and the very fact
that he was made chairman against the
wishes of the bosses and afterward nom
mated for Attorney General, proves con-
clusively, to my mind that he was the
enthusiastic choice of four-fifths of the
rank and file of our party for the nomina-
ton for Governor. and there is no denying
the fact that White is the most perfect
type of a machine made candidate that
was ever nominated in West Virginia.
This same gentleman went on to add:
while l have no reason to doubt the
success of our State ticket and the CIV
ing of our electoral vote to Mckinney,
yet our majorities will be greatly reduced
from those of four years ago and the
election Of Hughes and the return of
Dayton to Congress are both exceedingly
doubtful problems.
"As to the Legislature / do not believe
that our party leaders really hope to get
control of that body and the entire fight
will be made to save the State and cleo
toral tickets, which 1 confidently expect
to see accomplished"

WASHINGTON July 1.-THE
whole Chinese situation materially
frightened this morning upon receipt
of Admiral Remey's cable report of
the capture of Tien Tsin by the allies
The Associated Press dispatch show
ing that this was the native walled
city, cleared up an ambiguity that
was contained in the admirals dis
patch and swept away the last doubt
in the official mind as to the impor-
lance of the victory. The hostile
Chinese have been driven out of the
shelter of the city into the open plain
and the allied force has quadrupled
It's efficiency in combat by placing the
Chinese in this position. 1t is not
doubted that the forward movement
on Pekin will begin as soon as a cav
airy contingent has arrived from ia
pan, which should be within day or
two.
The moral effect of the defeat of the
allies at Tien Tsin would have been
terrible, according to army officers,
and would have been followed by the
extension Of the Boxer" revolt to all
parts Of China. Even the Chinese
minister now thinks that this blow
has done much
To Crush the Rebellion.
He already talks of peace commissions
in most significant way.
There was no change in the official
situation this morning. Pending the
arrival of the president, It was not
deemed proper to issue any orders to
the troops.
The impression gains ground that
the good news of this morning has re-
lieved the situation to the extent that
the cabinet meeting called for this
afternoon will not be obliged to deal
with emergency measures.
The prospect for an extra session
OF Congress has receded into the back
ground with the other unpleasant con-
tingencies which were to the fore yes
terday. The financial officers of the
army, the paymaster general and the
Quartermaster general say they have
enough money to meet present emer-
gencies, and that, after all, would be
the only consideration that would in
volve an extra session, in view of the
determination to
Adhere to the ''No War" Status.
Mr.. Goodnow, at Shanghai, sent
routine cable TO the State Department
this morning, which the officials said
was of no Importance, relative to the
conditions at Hankow. If Mr.. Wus
cablegram of this morning is founded
on fact, as he insists. it will have a
most important effect upon the cam
paign.
1t is admitted by all officials that
there can no longer be talk of de-
laying the campaign until fall on ac-
count of climatic reasons if the min
listers are still alive and there is any
possibility of relieving them by prompt
action.
