DEMOCRATS CONVENE
IN WEST VIRGINIA
Meeting of State Convention at
Parkersburg.
"wHITE SUPREMACY PLANK"
Agitation Between the Radicals and
the Conservatives Continues on the
Above Question-senator Davis Is
Leading Spirit of Convention.

Parkersburg, w. Va, August 3.-The
convening of the Democratic state
convention here today was not under
such harmonious conditions as had
been anticipated, especially for minor
places on the state ticket.
The delegates were still disposed to
subordinate everything VI the inter
est of Henry G. Davis, carrying his
own state for the national ticket, but
there were differences Of opinion as to
what was best for Davis and as to
how things should be done after it
was decided what was wanted. When
importuned yesterday former Senator
Davis was reluctant about expressing
preferences for candidates. His clos.
est friends were insisting that Judge
Holt, of Huntington, would head the
ticket. Meantime the friends of other
candidates, notably those Of w. R.
Thompson, also of Huntington, were
very. active and strong sentiment
was created that "the best thing for
Davis was harmony" and that would
be assured by concessions from the
Davis men. At the same time it was
desired to have the governor from
different part Of the state than that in
which Davis resides.
One of the first conferences at Da.
Wis rooms was shown when a delega.
ton headed by former Governor Mac.
u rL
After this conference, it was announc.
ed that Judge Holt would not stand for
governor, and that in the interest of
harmony he would present the name
of his fellow-townsman, Thompson.
There was then much comment
among the candidates for other places
on the state ticket as the forces had
been so lined up that there was a
Thompson state as we'll as a Holt
state and Thompson candidates insist.
ed on recognition with their leader
The agitation between the Radicals
and the Conservatives continued today
on the white supremacy plank"
The radicals were all wearing white
badges bearing the words: "White
Mans Party" and insisted that the
platform would be white" Former
Senator Davis was engaged much of
the time also with platform makers.
He said he would not attend the at
ternoon session of the convention, but
he might be present at the night ses.

Kuropatkin's Movements.

st. Petersburg, August 3.-General
KurOpatkin's armies are now cOncen-
trating upon Lao Yang, falling back
respectively upon Anshanshan, Liam
deansian and An Ping, as predicted
in the dispatches of the Associated
Press. These three points form ring
of closely knit defenses around Liao
Yang and enable General Kuropatkin
to risk a general engagement. The
only cause for anxiety is An Ping and
General Kuropatk1n's words that he
hoped the troops would hold that place
indicate misgiving. The Japanese
evidently realized the advantage of at
tacking this point and directed their
strongest advance along the Saisat-
