VETERAN PUBLISHER
TELLS OF CONVENTION
lanes K. Hall Recalls West Virginia
Political History.

James X Hall. a veteran news
paperman. of Wheeling. w. Va. and
at one time publisher OF the Wheel
ing Intelligencer. is here for a few
days visiting his son. Ensign J.
Frew Hall, OF the main recruiting
station of the navy.
For many years Mr.. Hall has
taken an active interest in the pO-
lItical destinies of his state. and
formerly was postmaster of Wheel
in. He has been a lifelong Repub-
Iican.
He talked reminiscently yester-
DAY of Archie Campbell, as early
editor. Campbell was. a delegate
to the national convention from
West Virginia" said Mr.. Hall, and
when West Virginia was called in
the roll Of States. he got up and an
nounced that the delegates from
his State carried their sovereignty
in their hats and would vote as they
pleased.
This announcement operated as
a bombsheIl. because the unit rule
had prevailed up to that time, and
the Grant forces reckOned On West
Virginia.
Senator Roscoe ConklinC. of New
York, VINO was managing Gen.
Grants interests in the fight. raised
an emphatic protest against the at
titude of West Virginia, but the
convention upheld Campbell. and
Senator ConklinE's efforts to con-
troll the convention went for naught
The breaking of the unit rule
created such a chaotic condition
that James A. Garfield. of Ohio. was
nominated a. a compromise be-
tween the ConteEdinE factions. He
was elected over Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, the Democratic nominee,
but was assassinated by Guiteau be1
fore his term expired.
Archie Campbell was a son Of
Campbell founder Of the CanpbelIite
Church."

AFTER DEATH
EASTER TOPIC
OF DR.. GORDON
Pastor of First Congrega.
tional Church Gives Ser
mon on Hereafter.

A monster audience greeted Rev.
James L Gordon. pastor OF the First
Congregational Church. at the spe-
cial Easter service yesterday morn
ing Anything relating to the here
after is always attractive. and Dr.
Gordon preached a sermon about "A
Trip In an Old-fashioned Ferry
Boat in q way that was remindful
of a voyage across the dark and
mysterious Styx.
Taxing for his text / Samuel, 10:
Is. And there went over ferry
boat to carry over the kings house,
hold. and to do what he thought
good" DR.. Gordon outlined a dark
river with a near shore on this
side and a far shore on the other.
leaving much to the imagination
"The greatest river in the world
Is the River of Death" he said, and
he drew a picture Of 1t flowing
through every land
He arranged his characters in
the form of a debating society. the
negative representing those who
did not take much stock in death,
and the affirmative composed of a
class having bright hopes Of a fu-
ture life It's the same in all hu-
man nature, he thought; two sides
to every question. and both sides
put up a splendid argument.
Louis XIV opened the debate with
the declaration why are you
weeping? Did you imagine I could
live forever?' The dying infidel
asked in dubious tones. who shall
carry me over the river?" Some
even went so far as to hint that
there wasn't much in life after all.
and death was a delusion and a
snare so far as future happiness was
concerned
GreyiIle was of this class. In his
memoirs he said: In the course
OF three weeks have attained the
three things 1 have most desired in
the world Am I.happier? No"
Byron had said II am sick and
tired of Iifer' and George EIiot's
last utterance was, II wish l had
never been born!' All seemed to
long for a lodge in some vast will
derness, with its boundIess contig-
uity of shade, said DR.. Gordon.
Then he gave the sunny side of
death its innings. He described
IL: sweet fields beyond the
swelling flood stand dressed in liv-
ing green. so to the Jews old Canaan
stood while Jordon rolled between"
Beethoven went to the bat on the
theory that he would hear in heaven.
Paul in the dungeon was cheerful
in the knowledge that Il have
fought a good fight; 1 have fin
ished the course and have kept the
faith. and laid up a crown of right
eousness."
In quick succession DR.. Gordon
cited the dying moments Of distin-
guished characters to prove that
death had few terrors for those who
had lived a righteous life.

Be Speciality Upon
Chautauqua Program

(EllisOn- White Publicity Service.)
The first announcement of the
Chautauqua program for this season
Indicates clearly that it is dedicated
chiefly to national service President
Wilson has strongly endorsed the
Chautauqua in a letter saying, let
me express the hope that you will. let
nc discouragement weaken your ac-
tivities, and that the people will not
fail in the support of a patriotic in
stitution that may be said to be an
integral part of the national defense"
That the other officials of Washing
ton are of the same mind is evidenced
by the fact that the government has
requested special lecturers to be sent
over every Chautauqua circuit in the
United States.
Probably the most important gov
nment-accredited lecturer to appear
on our weeks program will be Linz
coin L. Writ, war correspondent di-
rect from the western front. He was
sent by the government solely to OBJ
tain Information ON the actual cOndi-
tions in Europe and to present. them
to Chautauqua audieces. He sailed
