WHEELING; Oct. 24-The Rev.
Edward Randall, famed for walking
local streets and reading aloud from

spiritual work in connection with

tempts its reorganization. Since
Captain Craig resigned it is under
stood that the local branch has rap
idly dropped in numbers and is in a
state of DISCRIMINATION. The hand
Of a man like the Rev, Mr.. Ran

II is understood, however. that after
the local organization is again on
it's feet, he will give most OF his
attention to the spiritual end Of the
army, allowing others to take care
OF, the business end.
The Rev. Mr. = Randall, according
to advices from the Pittsburg head
quarters, is to take charge OF the
spiritual work at once and relieve
Captain Weimer, OF the Industrial
Home, who has been conducting
both ends. cg}
Randall is IS years old, but looks
much younger. He claims to be
militant enough, even ut his age. &c

Denver.-The land convention to be
called by Governor Shafroth In accord
ance with the resolution passed by the
present Legislature may not meet UNI
til October. The first meeting OF the
committee that is to have charge of
the convention was held in the COVER.
nor's office recently. when the ques-
ton as to the date of the convention
was raised.
1t was originally planned to hold 1t
in August or July. but the fact that
1t is desired that all the congressman
from the Western states be in attend
ance may lead to a postponment until
September or October. It is believed
by some that the extra session of Con
gress may not adjourn until fall.
Il am sure that this convention is
going to be a most important one,
declared Governor Shafroth in discuss
ing the plans for the big meeting
which is to be attended by representa-
tives from every state in which there
is more than 100000 acres of public
domain.
THE time has arrived when the
West must assert Its rights and fight
for fair play from the national govern
ment. The theory that the federal gov
eminent has the right to withdraw
from entry and hold for an indefinite
length OF time any considerable por.
ton of the territory Of Colorado or
any other Western state is OF com
paratively recent growth. 1t has been
spreading OF late. however. and a de-
cided stand by the Western state is
needed to show the people of the coun-
try the rank injustice of such a pro
ceeding," said Gov. Shafroth.
