SKETCHES OF,
:. TIE VISITORS

republican workers from all over
the State Of West Virginia. Some ar
rived yesterday, some were already
mere. All OF them are Of the opin-
ION that the meeting of the state
committee called by Chairman S. V.
Matthews for tomorrow will do more
TO cement the party again and bring
ABOUT united working front than
anything that has been done since
Inc differences or opinion within the
ranks or the party brought about
more or less disruption.
1t will not OILY be a meeting OF
the committee, all the members Of
which are expected to be present, but
a bringing together of the party men
VINO do things in their respective
communities and elsewhere during
4 campaign. The type Of men who
are coming to Charleston are the
ones who Wish TO see harmony the
primary equipment Of the party, for
the fact is realized by them all that
the next one must pc a concerted
hsht rather than a campaign of in
ternal Grumblings and backbiting.
From All Directions.
The visitors are coming from all
directions. And they all look and
talk like they mean business and will
90 their part in bringing about q
proper solution Of the troubles Of
the party at this time, and to map
out course Of campaign which will
insure the success Of Republicanism
again in West Virginia to the extent
that old time campaigns and cleo
tons will be wildly recalled.
20, everything is lovely with US
now, said Chairman Matthews this
morning, but l nave nothing to say
FOR publication. You reporters will
nave to wait until the meeting is
held and then find out what has been
done. The prospects are for a Wig
o1ous, but q harmonious session and
great many matters of Importance
TO everyone in West Virginia, Re-
publican and Democrat, alike, will
nc Looked after. | have received re-
Flies from nearly all the members
OF the committee and believe all of
mem Will be in attendance Not
only will they be here but 7 have
Teen apprised Of the fact that lead
ing party men from different sec
lions Of the state are coming, aside
from the many who are already
here'
Fine Meeting Promised.
There arc splendid prospects for q
tine meeting Of the Republicans and
good humor is everything in evil
cence among them now. Of course
there will be some warm debates in
committee but it is reasonably be-
lieved that this session will suffice
to bring about the desired coming
together Of all dangerous fractional
strife within the ranks, and that thes
campaign will be on in dead earnest
at the conclusion Of the meeting,
with all the leaders working in
harmony for a cause that can be
relied on to be q just and an equit-
able one, and one that Will prove
satisfactory to everywhere.
