SATURDAYS CONVENTIONS.

1t Is somewhat difficult to determine
the net results OF Saturdays Republi-
can conventions in the five counties
holding them, but it seems that Au.
tlltor Scherr got the best OF it some
what. Three counties instructed for
him in such n manner ass TO leave no
rom for doubt, while there are con-
flicting claims in two. The counties
which are ,lnqMestionably5 for the Au-
tlltor are Taylor. with 1G delegates,
Randolph. with 10. and Gilmer, with
ia. In Wayne Mr.. scherr claims IS out
OF 1G and in Lewis Mr.. Swisher clai
II out of II, but both OF these claims
are disputed. In Taylor a rather in
teresttng and sensational thing &C.
Cured. Senator S.. B. Montgomery
and Prof. Mcdaniel two we'll known
Scherr men, came over to Grafton in
the interest of Hon. w. G. Conley for
Attorney General. bnt Senator Bailey,
the leader on the Scherr side, was rn-
willing to give Instructions to the
Preston county man unless he knew
what Preston county would do for the
Auditor. Hence. instructions We're re-
fused. despite the plendings Of Sena-
tor Montgomery, and the result was
that Montgomery and Mcdaniel went
away feeling very sore and declaring
that Taylor's action in refusing to
instruct for Conley after having
pledged him support at the district
primaries. would lose Preston county
for Mr.. Scherr. Montgomery and Nc
Daniel both went back to Preston out
and out Swisher men, Montgomery
declaring that his paper, the Preston
Lender, would come out for Swisher
this week. AS he has been a leader
on the Scherr side in Preston, his
change OF base will be felt by the
Auditors friends. Scherr sentiment
was very strong in the Taylor con
vention and 1t was their fear OF unfair
treatment in Preston 1t Is claimed that
made them turn the Conley resolution
down and give Senator Montgomery
such cool treatment. The mixup was
an unfortunate one and may prove
costly to more than one candidacy be.
fore the final round up is made.
