THE INTELLIGENCE WHEELING. MAY 7, 11100. This Week's Conventions. The Republicans of the First and } ond congressional districts and state at large will hold th* centei the political stage to-day and to-n row. At Clark3burg to-day the F district congressional convention select two delegates and alternatei represent tne state in urc, xwimuji national convention, which meets Philadelphia next month. There la doubt but what Colonel Morris He heimer, of Wheeling, will be one of delegates chosen. Colonel Horkhel deserves the honor for his am inent vices anil effective work for the sue of the state and national tickets 1 years ago. , The main Interest centers In the s convention, which convenes at F mont to-morrow, and which will e four delegates-at-large. It Is expsi that there will be a large attends of the Republicans from all section the state, but not as large as will b the state nominating vu<iveuuuu Charleston. The national conventloi Philadelphia will merely be In the ture of a ratification meeting and publican love feast, and, as a nati sequence, the contest for the hono being a delegate will not be so ] pounced as it would be were there other candidates beside President KInley. Notwithstanding this fact Intelligencer hopes to see an unui gathering of the Republicans of state. Th" Republicans of West ' glnla are thoroughly aroused this y ahd from every hamlet, town and this paper ha3 received assurance the party presenting a united front a determined spirit to elect not < th? state ofllcars, but a majority of legislature. This must be done, we cannot impress upon bur Repii can friends throughout the stats* earnestly tho importance of aclec the best men for candidates for senate and house of delegates. Let all warm up to this fact Ut Fairmont morrow. Revolution in the West. "Eli Perkins," a traveler and a i shrewd observer, writes to the I York Sun, under the date of April regarding the political situation Idaho and Colorado, as follows: "Look for strange political n from Colorado and Idaho. A r *volu Is going on In the minds of the pe in these states. They are changing f free silver to sound money and a | tectlve tariff. Since Bryan 13 dropj silver or making a sub-1.'sue of It dlsafTected Republicans are con hnrk.to MclClnlev. Many predict I McKinley will carry Colorado in vember. The thought is dawning the people? that Bryan is using them political purposes and not for the g of the state. Colorado la a great g sheep, cattle and wheat state. 1 begin to see that free silver is c legislation and is only for the benefl twenty-seven great silver mine o ers. "When I asked a stock man in Id why he changed from free silver said: " 'Why, we raise 5C.000.000 wortt wool In Idaho and dig J1.000,000 vri of silver. We see now what idiots sheep and cattle men wore to go Cleveland free wool and knock 16,000,000 worth of wool down fron cents to 8. To do this again wo not going sailing around with Bry; airship for free silver and get notl but wind.' " 'Now,' he continued, 'our $6,004 worth of wool is valuable. Wool gone up to 1M) cents and lambs are valuable to sell at any price, and money we got for cattle and shoe good as gold.' , <11 , n^.ll^HAn ??11? will bo a Republican stat-' In Nov ber If Bryan and the Kansas City < ventlon weaken dn fr silver or u? as not the main Nor Ih that all. "Th? farmers of egon," says the American Econon "are about to writs th" opening j In the history of th r political camp; of 1900.

Oregon's agricultural voters have r abundant cause for confirming the ver- c diet of two yean ago. Something like f 3,600,000 sheep are owned In that state. & jen In 1896, according to the government 5 . * reports, Oregon's flocks numbered 2.6S0, icc, 049, and. the average value per Head was )136. It Is interesting to noto the J ?0 changes in the sheep raising situation I in Oregon that have occurred since tht ,, free wool of the Democratic free trade v 00 tariff of 1894 gave place to the pro- ^ 00 tec ted wool of the Dingley tariff of 00 1897. lf Ad In response to inquiries sent out by j, .op tho American Protective Tariff league, c .00 in connection with its sheep census, *7 v (U>. reports are at hand from the state of c ad- Oregon.

WAEBEN MILLER. Is Candidacy For the Supreme Court Judgeship. Charleston Mall Trlbuna: Hon. Warn Miller, of Jackson county, was In e city over night, leaving at noon toly. In conversation with a reporter r. Miller, said he would accept the mination for judge of the supremo urt of appeals, but that the position one of such dignity that he did not em it fitting to enter a scramble for He considers the place one of such eat importance to the people that ey would be sure to look out for the st man, and he could not advertise mself as that best man. "I should el greatly honored by a nomination," id Mr. Miller, "and if elected I would vc my best endeavors to me great id important work that would fall ton me." Hundreds of Mr. Miller's friends nil rough the state will read these lines Ith pleasure. Every well-informed rson in the state knows that lie was1 ictad supremo Judge in 1892. The marlty against him on the face of tho rams wr.s only 97. while In tho returns )m Lincoln county, by a mistake (we pe It was not more than a clerical err). his opponent was given Just 100 tcs more than he received: and In arion county, by a similar mistake r worse) he was deprived of soma ety-odd votes. Mr. Miller was admitted to the bar in il, and has been In active practice er since, a period of nearly thirty ars. During his service In Congress kept up his practice. He has been unsel in som:? of the most Important 8cs in the state, and his practice has vered tho wholt* rnnge of the law. In n, he was appointed assistant proeetlng attorney of his county, and ereafter was elected to the office of osecutlng attorney and served ably sreln for eight years. Mr. Miller has ,vays been an active Republican. He a man of fine abilities, clear-headed, a Judicial temperament, consarvare. sound, and possesses in an cmlnt degree all the qualifications of an | !e and elRclcnt judge. Two supreme dg.*s arc to be elected this year, ande two Judges who will retire are from 2 First and the Fourth districts. It i??Mn?nllv Iindnralnnd Ihnt one of eso nominations will bp conceded to : ? Fourth district, and tho other to th.-? rst, as the Sccond and Third districts i cM have one Judge on th? bench. Mr. ' llor Is. fortunately, a resident of the j urth district.
