The greatest State convention the
Republicans have held in the State OF
West Virgins was brought to close
last night in blaze of enthusiasm
and red fire. 1t was the greatest con-
vention in a number of ways, partic-
ularly In the amount of hard work
done by the different people WHO de-
sired to be the standard bearers CT
the party at the election to be held in
the fall and during the campaign
which will be on after the early part
Of next month. Everybody appears
to be satisfied with the result and the
general sentiment now is for all Re-
publicans to get together and make
things interesting for their friends the
enemy, and they will do it.
After the convention adjourned last
night and the delegates and candi-
dates for nomination had returned 10
the city there was warm time about
the Mcclure House and later il was
transferred to the streets. Delegates,
candidates and other "ates took
charge of one OF the bands which has
been doing duty for the past three
days, and having secured aScorner on
all the red fire in town they proceeded
ITO celebrate the result of the conven-
ton in proper shape. There was no
i'll feeling manifested anywhere. E'v
erybody seemed to be in the best of
humor and all entered into the spirit
of the celebration
Even the Shouting Is over.
This morning the crowds about the
hotels were all busy telling each other
how it happened. If things had been
the way each man wanted them there
would have been a State convention
in session in Wheeling for the next
three months. The consensus OF
opinion appears to be that the ticket
is all right and that when the election
is held in November the Republicans
will roll up the biggest majority they
have ever had in the State.
This morning most of the delegates
were getting ready to take their
trains for their homes and the major
ity of them had left the city before
noon Some few remain in the city
this afternoon, but this evening Il ere
will hardly be a delegate or spectator
present, with the exception OF those
from Ohio county and the immediate
vicinity. AS one prominent gentle
man expressed himself this morning,
Its all over now, even to the Shout
ing, and the thing to do is to get to
work and make things as interesting
as possible for the common enemy
from now until after the election is
held"
Jake Snyder ReconciIed.
Although Jake Snyder, the rotlnd
and urbane State Senator from Ohio
county, is still a little sore because
his name was not presented 10 the
convention for the nomination for
governor, he is reconciled and will
support the ticket. There has never
been any doubt on this score. for it
| has been known that no matter what
the Importance of the individual, Jake
has always held that the party is
greater than the man, and on e num-
| Der of occasions has expressed him
self very emphatically on this point.
Jake was around awhile last night
and was dispensing wisdom to all the
boys. He told them" the thing to do
was to hustle now and not allow any
| lnlnS 10 interfere WIN lnelT fISruDIl-
canism. Support the ticket. 1t was
the will of the majority of the dele
gates to the convention and the gen
! tlemen who We're nominated should
| lead the Republicans on to victory,
and no man must Sulk in his tent but
everyone put his shoulder to the
| wheel and see that everything is done
that will bring the boys out and show
the other fellows that they have no
show in West Virginia any more
Delegates Leaving For Home.
The fast train out of the city this
morning that carried many of the del
egates was over the Ohio river divi-
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio This
train was composed of eight coaches
and a parlor car and every one of
them was filed to the platform. and
quite a number of those who would
have liked to get away on the first
train were compelled to wait until
noon. The delegates were all in Il
happy mood this morning and each
side was joshing the other over the
way they had been defeated anG vice
versa.
