Congressional Convention.

The Democratic congressional conven-
ton for the second West Virginia district,
held at Moorefield last Wednesday, was
All enthusiastic and interesting affair, par
ticipated in by tull quota OF lively dele
gates and attended by many visitors. II
was great event for Moorefield, that
town not having been heretofore accessl-
bic for such gatherings, and the people
did everything they could for the comfort
and entertainment OF the visitors.
The convention was called to order at
noon in the very comfortable and well ar
ranged town hall. Hon. John J. Corn
we'll was made temporary and permanent
chairman, and he made striving and
eloquent address as he assumed the du-
ties OF his office. VIM. II. Wilson, OF
jefferson county, was placed in nomlna-
ton by James M. Mason, Jr., OF Charles
Town, in a fine speech, the nomination
being seconded by Hugh Mccormick.
w. G. Brown, of Preston county, b. H..
OF Pendleton county, and Lloyd HanSford,
of Tucker county, were also placed in
nomination. The first ballot resulted as
follows: Brown 80, Wilson 81, Hiner 90,
Hansford %. To nominate, ll5 votes
were required. On the succeeding bal
lots Brown and Hiner each gained, while
the others lost, Brown going up to lO5,
while Hiner stuck at about 90, Wilson
falling to 20. Ballot after ballot was re-
CURED, Brown gaining one or two each
time the vote was taken. Finally, on the
tenth ballot, when Brown only needed
one or two more votes, Wilson appeared
on the stage and withdrew. Then his
delegation, which had stood by Wilson
manfully, gave part ofitS vote to Brown,
and he was nominated.
"Junior Brown" as he is best known
in the district, is regarded as very strong
candidate. His friends declare that he
will probably carry both Preston and
Monongalla counties, where Mr.. SturgiSS,
the Republican candidate, is very unpop-
ular. If he doesn't actually carry these
counties, he will certainly cut down the
Republican maiorities tremendously. He
is an unusually good mixer, an able bust
ness man OF abundant means, and he is
enthusiastic in his belief that the Demo-
Gratis are going to redeem the second
district the coming fall.

SENATOR CUhtMINS, OF Iowa, one OF
the ablest OF the insurgents in the Senate,
has been making some powerful speeches
in Kansas, and he boldly denounceS Can
non and Aldrich and the other bosses
who have proven such corrupt and I'M
faithful party leaders. He declared the
other day that the men who framed the
infamous Aldrch tariff bill never attempt
ed 10 keep the party pledges, and he
plainly showed how the people had been
swindled in the interest of the monoplieS.
He said:
"The people have found that the alb
Sence OF foreign competition in the mar
ketS of this country has made il possible
for the American manufacturer to in
crease his price at his own sweet will and
without regard TO the actual market con-
ditions."
This is gospel truth, and comes from
unimpeachable Republican authority.
Yet it seems impossible for even such
plain facts to sink into the mind OF the
partisan voter.

GOES
OUT TO START
HOT Fight

With the FIRE of insurgency in his
eye, with knockout arguments in his
head, and with a firm military tread
that BODIES much evil for the stand
p%atters, Senator H. v. Morehouse
came to Reno from Goldfeld last night
and will deliver an address in Reno
before he returns to the south, says the
State Journal of Monday.
He met George Springmeyer, insur-
gent candidate for attorney general,
and the two held an informal recep-
ton to a number of insurgents who
casually met them at the Overland.
Plans we're made for a big public
meeting at which the principles of
the Lincoln Roosevelt League will be
expounded and there win be a great
gathering of Republicans and Demo
Gratis at the meeting.
Senator Morehouse stated that the
league was formed on Thursday last
in Goldfeld and already possessed a
membership of over 200. Before the
campaign is over he confidently ex-
poets the league to be one of the most
powerful factors in politics.
OF I'm a Republican," said Senator
Morehouse, "and as such / am work
ing to see that the party is represen-
tative of its princiOes-that it is
governed and controlled by the rank
and file of the party and that it is not
made the tool Of corporations who
have interest in neither its traditions
or its honor, but who are actuated
solely by selfish and corrupt motives.
1.-THE people of this state have suf-
fered too long from the dominance
and interference of the railroad in
politics and if the leaders of the Re
publican party will do nothing to
change conditions it is time to do
something on our own account
Senator Morehouse stated that the
result of the California primaries had
been a forecast of what would be
done in Nevada and declared that
the primary law would be one of the
most effective agents.

JUNK men HAD
MISSING METAL

Recently the management Of the Con-
solidated mill discovered that a large
quantity of copper fittings and cable,
taken from the mill after the fire and
placed in a pile near that institution,
had been made away with. Yesterday,
through the efforts of Chester Lyman
and Burns Colwell, it was discovered IN
the keeping of two secondhand dealers
doing business on Broadway near Miner
street. The purchasers, after the cop
per pieces, weighing over 2500 pounds,
had been identified by Mill Superin-
tendent Hutchinson, released the stuff
and it was returned to the mill.
The secondhand dealers had failed,
as instructed by ordinance, to keep a
record of the names of the persons from
whom the copper was purchased, and
had they opposed giving it up, a crimi-
nal prosecution would have ensued 1t
is understood, however, that the cop
per was bought from small boys who
received for it about i've cents a
pound. 1t is worth probably about
fourteen cents.
When found the copper had been
packed preparatory to shipment.
