WHEELING. w. Va. May D, 1903.
West Nirginia's fourteen delegates to
the Denver convention will be named
next week. The five district conventions
will be held in the early part of the week
and the Zig four will be picked at the
grand roundup in Wheeling Friday In
structions for Bryan will be the predomi-
mating feature. 1t will hardly rise to the
dignity of an issue, except in the state
delegate convention although instructions
for Bryan will be opposed at the first dis
trict convention, to be held Tuesday at
Fairmont.
An influential but numerically small vot-
ing element of the democracy is adverse
to the nomination of Bryan. This element
is suspected of a desire to be generous in
the hope of warding off Instructions at
Wheeling. Suspicion is aroused by the
proclamation Of r. E. Horner of Parkers-
burg, :: veteran editor, who aspires to
membership IN the big four group. He
has made the charge repeatedly of late
that somebody is offering free transporta-
ton to the delegates to the Wheeling con-
vention.
From what Horner says and from other
indications there is a belief that the anti
structions at any cost. On the question
Of Endorsement the state committee num-
hered five negatives to ten Alternatives
and the negatives propose to keep UP the
work. They include Chairman John T.
McGraw. John J. Cornwell, late demo-
cratic candidate for governor. and a host
of corporation attorneys who have been
for years prominent In democratic coun-
ellis.
Their Defeat Probable.
Defeat seems due to be their portion in
the district gatherings. and likewise at the
state convention. although they promise
to be more In evidence at the state meet.

Less active in field work. but Bryan adj
mirers are r. E. Horner, Clyde B. john

have similar ambitions. Horner has never
subscribed to all of Bryans vageries but
he supports him and he is vigorous in his
opposition to Judge Gray or Gov. johnson.
Reymann lives in Wheeling and was the
candidate for attorney general four years
ago. He is satisfied with Bryan. and
