a surplus of self-assurance and sell
esteem about it; an elaborate theory
of how the campaign can be won by
the Democratic party in West Vir-
ginla expounded by Senator Chiffon;
and a line OF affable jolly by that
prince OF puryeyors Of political pleas
antries, John Cornwell, from the
Hampshire county peach zone. The
majority OF the visitors pinched
themselves to see If they weren't
dreaming and wondered if they had
ripped out mileage to travel cross
state for this and this alone. They
are still wondering-but need not
longer.
Secret OF the Meeting.
Here Is the secret of that meeting:
1t was to get as many of the county
Chairmen together as possible, and
one by one, steer them into the pres
ence of the new boss. there to hit up
a personal acquaintance with the
new power, and to receive llrst-hand-
running instructions from &c. W."
One by one they were ushered into
the royal chambers of the Baron Of
Bituminous, and one by one they
were turned out with their orders,
with promises Of definite backing,
and went about their respective ways
much after the satisfied manner Of
men who had just heard Of the death
OF a rich uncle and that they had in
herted all. The outfit of editors
who had gathered received no such
intimate and pleasing treatment.
They were herded into room and
organized into some sort of a parti-
san organization which is expected to
handle Jimmy Weir's output Of dope
and-well, otherwise there was
nothing doing" That is always an
invariably discouraging and depress-
ing to the fashioners of public
thought as represented in the Par
kersburg gathering. However, they
did not give up hope as the season
is yet young.
The upshot of the last powwow,
as the politicians here see it, based
on the reports brought to them by
the scouts who attended it. is that
Watson's' grip on the party is such
that it leaves nothing to be desired
in that respect by him. Win or
lose, he is it, and is in position to
continue the boss of the party for
many years to come. There is no
one to dispute with him, and all out
ward opposition has been utterly and
completely crushed. There is no one
in partnership with him in the con-
troll Of the party. He Is supreme
Senator Chiffon is, according 10 the
view Of it taken here, playing sec
ond fiddle and a poor one at that.
and if he escapes getting hurt from
that source he will have to be meek
and humble and excessively good.

In Washington about the SeCre'
tive SeIfiShneSS Of WatSon'S
State Committee.
lBy charles Brooks smlthD

WASHINGTON. July 22-There Is
an angry growl heard here-"woof!
Just like that, originating in the
Democratic camp, which is com
posed Of patriots Of the pap-priyi.
legged class. The reason for SAID
growl is that they are far from being
satisfied with what was done at the
state committee meeting held in Par
kersburg a few days since. Some Of
the GROWERS attended that meeting,
and some of them hung around and
about the raveled skirts OF it unable
to find an open sesame, or a push
button, or a countersign which would
admit them to the inner side to
glimpse the workings of the new
ritual Of the party as prescribed by
National Committeeman c. Wayland
Watson. What makes the growl all
the angrier, mayhaps. is that this
last powwow developed that some of
the old reliable headquarters hang
ers-on, got the cold, cruel congo, as
the say in Paris (Ky.) hung on 'em.
Which, being interpreted in the light
of the bright lexicon Of George AIDE,
means that they had the tins tied to
their tails and will not be around
headquarters hanging on this year

half dozen headquarters, more or
less,

too, which makes for the growl stun
which has been referred to. Mixing
up the metaphor, and scCambiing the

the discontinued and unhappy com
