Delegates to the Democratic con.
vention at Wheeling say one reason
some of them did not leave for home
before the convention was over at q
late hour in the evening was that
the work of the convention had moi
been finished and none could leave
on account of their distrust of the
others. Some were afraid that She
Bryan resolution would not sc
through.

An Evening Echo.
1t is a comedy fashion to be glad.
Jean Ingelow.
a Complex sitnation.

Editor lR. d. Hornor was regarded
part of the McGraw slate until he
issued an interview declaring he
would not vote for either McGraw or
Chiffon for committeeman. After
that he dropped out altogether and
the Chiffon slate went through with
the exception of Wilkinson, who
withdrew. in order to let McGraw
have just one lone delegate.
wv. d. Chiffon in a talk in the
Charleston Gazette about the conven-
ton does not hesitate to declare that
he had McGraw worsted. He claims
three of the big four and says he had
McGraw badly beaten in the conven-
ton. advancing these figures: 700
for Chiffon and 420 for McGraw.
Chiffon also says he is satisfied
with We status off, the Dencer dele
cation as to his candidacy for ma
tional committeeman, which is taken
to mean that he feels he has the posi-
ton in his vest pocket already.
On the other hand McGraw says the
convention results suit him and that
: IL he wants to succeed himself as
committeeman, he can. But, 1t is
strongly suspected that McGraw Is
merely saying this in the best grace
one can, who has been defeated, and
that he, will make but little effort to
get the vote of the delegation for re-
election. AT any rate. taking the cue
offered by many at the, convention,
/. he will engage himself in trying. to
persuade the. delegation that a third
man should have the place, If it Is
not given to him. There are evil
dences already of this movement on
his part, and, it is to be anything to
beat Chiffon
While both sides endeavor diligent-
ly to make the impression that It was
a, harmonious convention with every
one satisfied, there is situation that
is not at all pleasing to either side.
The governorship figures in this con-
sideration. Chiffon, the victor, is
behind Adam Littlepage, and Nc
Graw, the defeated, is backing Ben
nett. The latter's campaign advanc-
ed to such proportions before 1t was
definitely revealed that Bennett is
McGraw's candidate that the Chiffon
victory in the conv$ntion does not
necessarily mean victory for Little
page, Nor does-that victory have the
stimulating effect on the Litt1epage
candidacy 1t would have had had 1t
been earlier in the campaign.
From the Democratic point OF
view the most serious feature of the
! present situation and what is to fol-
low is that Bennett is a sure winner
for nomination, but after that will not
have the hearty cooperation of the
national committeeman Chiffon, IL 1t
be he, and the Chiffon following will
not be enthusiastic supporters of
Bennett in the campaign.
This feature of the Chiffon victory
and the probability of McGraw's can.
didate being nominated for governor
is the most serious of all with the
Democrats. 1t has complexity
about 1t, that Is not easy OF solution.
II is argued the Chiltons can not af-
ford to help elect McGrawHmans to
the governorship as that would be a
long step in wrestling from the Chill
tons their newly acquired control Of
the party, and would re-enthrone
,McGraw.
On the other hand the Bennett
pledges and. instructions have pro-

A hot, though rather one-sided
political fight was waged in Bonners
last Monday. The contest was over
the election of ten delegates to the
county convention to be held at
Standpoint on August IL. There
were All votes cast.
There were two tickets in the
field-one styled Republican Pri-
mary Ticket" and the other "The
Young Republican Ticket" The
former ticket was supporting S. D.
Taylor for county chairman and
stood for a square deal in the divi-
sion of county officers. The social
ed "Young Republican Ticket" was
ardently supported by Sheriff
Doust and Probate Judge Bandelin
of Standpoint which was the most
significant indication of the inten-
lions of the leaders of the so-called
Young Republicans. Sheriff Doust
was up Friday night and Saturday
with the result that he lined up the
saloon vote for his ticket, the same
as he did in the saloon ward in
Standpoint which went two to one
for the court house crowd. After
the ballots were counted it was
found that the Republican Ticket"
had won out over the "Young Re-
publican Ticket" by an average
vote of 242 to 1875.
The primary meeting was called
to order by Thomas ]. Jones,
member of the county central COM
mittee, who read the call and the
notice of the meeting and then
stated that nominations for chair
man were in order. James A
Welch was nominated by S. D.
Taylor and Charles Braham by the
side supported by Doust. Mr.
WEIGH was declared elected by a
vote of 107 to rs. The vote was
counted upon division of the house
the supporters of the respective
tickets ranging up on opposite sides
of the hall. This was the most
exciting period of the contest. II
was a time when everyone had to
show their colors. The ladies were
out in force and three-fourthe o.
them voted against the ticket sup
ported by Doust. The minority
leaders attempted dilatory tactict'
and delayed proceedings consider
ably but both Committeeman Jones

After the balloting commenced,
the proceedings we're orderly, but
there was great hustling. Both
sides were we'll supplied with teams,
Dutch Rosebaugh having hired ali
the livery rigs for the ticket support
ed by Doust, but ranchers and
townsmen rendered the use OF ten
carriages for the regular republican
ticket. Voters were conveyed to
and from the polls all day. Mora
via people voted solidly for the
successful ticket; the Northside did
nearly as well; the laboring men
from the factory and the saw mills
also supported the successful ticket,
and the ladies vote was largely in
its favor. There never was any
doubt of the outcome at anytime
