track at Erie mines, few miles be-
low this city. The large hoppers

track is expected to remain closed.

Jefferson Democracy, and in de-
nunciation of Republican princi-
piles.
A resolution was introduced by
W NJ. Kincaid in favor of a rails
road rate of 2 cents a mile in this
Estate, But Owen 81 Mckinney ops
posed it, except as to trunk lines,
and hoped the resolution would be
thus amended. The resolution was
voted down, after a very unseemly
controversy, in which much bitter
ness was shown.
Nominations being called for
James B. Brennan, of Ohio county,
placed Thomas s. Riley, of Wheel
ing, in nomination, in a short
speech.
John j. Davis nominated Thomas
r. Horror by request. Mr.. Hornor
declined and asked hat his name be
withdrawn. The same was done.
In the discussion of the plank
eondemning the new tax laws there
was a spirited opposition to the
adoption of the resolutions and also
appeals were made not to handicap
the Democratic nominee for con-
gress with any 2 cent fare resolution
One delegate declared it would be
political suicide.
The subject of a 2 cent a mile
rate was then ignored altogether
and che Democrats of the First con-
gressicnal district is opposed to a
2 cent mileage in West Virginia.
7. r. Horror again addressed
the convention and John J. Davis
placed his name before the conven-
ton again. The vote was then
taken.
The Ballot stood.
