District Democratic Conven
tions.
The Democratic State Executive Committee
of West Virginia, at a meeting liuld at Par
kershurg, oil January 28. 1893. determined and
ordered tbat Democratic conventions be lield
in eueta of the Congressional districts ?t the
time and place hereinafter named, to select
three delegates cach, one of whom In each dis
trict shall he a deletrate-at-ltfrgc and also se
lect ono alternate for each of said delegates to
represent the State In the Democratic National
Convention to t>e held at Chicago. III., on
June 21st, 1892. and when they shall hare been
so selected they shall be duly accredited as
delegates to represent this State In said Na
tional Convention. And at said district con
ventions each of the comities composing the
several Congressional districts shall lie entitled
to one vote therein for every one hundred votes
or fractional part thereof over fifty, cast for
the Democratic candidate for President at the
election held In 1888. The various County Ex
ecutive Committees are requested to take snch
action as may be necessary to have tlielr coun
ty represented in said conventions. The con
ventions will be held on
Wednesday, June Ut, 1993,
and at the following places: In the First Con
gressional district at Weston, in the Second
Congressional district at Charles Town. In the
Third Congressional district at Charleston, and
In the Fourth Congressional district at Ravens
wood.
The call for the State Convention will be is
?ned later. T. S. RILEY, Chairman.
B. II. Oxlkt, Secretary.
District Club Convention.
Whkreas, It is deemed to the best Interests
of the party and tbat it will better serve the
majority of the cinbs to hold Congressional
Conventions, instead of a State Convention of
Clubs, and with a view of making tho organi
zation of clubs more efficient by the organiza
tion of Congressional District Associations of
Clubs; it is therefore ordered that a Conven
tion of Democratic Clubs of cach Congres
sional district be held on
Wednesday, the first day of June, 1892,
at the following places : For the First Congrcs-u
sional district, at Weston; for the Second
Congressional district, at Charles Town ; for
tho Third Congressional district, at Charles
ton. and for the Fourth Congressional district,
at Ravenswood ; for the purpose of organizing
District Associations of Democratic Clubs and
transacting such other business a* may come
before the Convention. In such Conventions
local clubs will be entitled to the following rep
resentation : All clubs with a membership of
one hnndred or less will be entitled to five del
egates; with more than one hundred and less
than two hundred, seven delegates, and with
two hundred or more, nine delegates.
The object of calling said Conventions to
meet at the same time and place as the Con
ventions to elect delegates to the National Con
vention. is to afford delegates the opportunity
of attending both Conventions, thereby saving
Doth time and expense. The County Commit
tees aud those heretofore appointed to organize
clubs, and all Democrats who believe in such
an organization of the party U6 will make it
invincible in the coming campaign are re
quested to assist in the work ot organizing
clubs in every magisterial district and to have
properly represented at the Conventions.

The Preston County Journal, pub
lished by W. M. O. Dowson, secre
tory of the Republican State Com
mittee, claims to speak authorita
tively when it says that Mr. Elkins
will accept the Republican nomina
tion for governor of West Virginia.
Senator Hill attempted to dictate
to Congressman O'Ferrall, of Vir
ginia, as to what the latter should do
as chairman of the House committee
on elections?t. e., that he should not
seat a Republican honestly elected.
O'Ferrall spurned the suggestion
nnd gave Senator Hill to understand
that he was dealing with an honest
Virginian, and not a party trickster.
The Spirit op Jepperson- ami tlie Farm
rrt' Advocate are discussiug th? methods of
selecting delegates to our several district cou
Tenlions. It matters less what plan is adopted
than that it should be of uniform application
through the whole district. Uniformity iu
this respect would remove a source of differ
ence which in the past has been productive of
a great deal of Ill-feeling.?Hartinsburg
Statesman.
It is of vital importance that it
should first be settled as to what
county a candidate is to be taken
from, and then that the candidate
should be the choice of a majority
(not a minority) of the Democrats of
that county.
In the House on Thursday there
was a prolonged and exciting con
test over the silver bill. The debate
closed at 5 P. M., and at once a mo
tion was made to lay the bill on the
table. The result was a tie, with
the vote of Speaker Crisp against the
m?tion. Then followed dilatory mo
tions for adjournment, etc., in quick
succession by the opponents of the
bill, and much time was consumed
in calling the yeas and nays. At
12.35 Friday morning the House ad
journed on the motion of Mr. Bland,
The bill now takes its place on the
calendar, but was expected to be
brought up again yesterday.
DEMOCRATIC CLUB!
Address by
Hon. Wm. L. Wilson.
Friday Evening, April 1st, 1892,
A public meeting, for the purpose
of organizing a Democratic Club,
will be held at the Court-House in
Charles Town, on Friday Evening,
April 1st, 1892, at 8 o'clock. The
Charles Town Cornet Band will en
liven the occasion with good mu
sic, and our able Congressman, Hon.
Wm. L. Wilson, will open the cam
paign with an eloquent address.?
Everybody, and especially the ladies,
cordially invited to attend.
Mr. Wilson Declares for Cleve
land.
Hon. William L. Wilson, having
been invited to deliver an address
before the Cleveland Club of Win
chester, Va., ha9 written a letter in
which he says:
"Yours inviting me to address the
Cleveland Club of Winchester re
ceived. I regret that work is so
piled up around me that I cannot see
ray way clear to appointing a time
when I can visit you in acceptance
of your invitation. I am glad to
say, however, that I am heartily in
accord with what I suppose to be the
aim of your club?to work for the
re-nomination and re-election of Mr.
Cleveland. Every day's observation
confirms me in the belief that both
consideration of party duty and
fidelity to principles and of party
success require that we thai) take
our last standard-bearer, who has
steadily and deservedly grown in
the favor and confidence of ths peo
ple and our great cause, in whose
name we have been marching from
victory to victory for the coming
Gght. Any other leader means a
loss of the popular enthusiasm and
popular confidence which are of in
calculable momentum in a campaign.
Any other issue, especially the one
proposed as a rival or substitute, is
an apple of discord, rending our
party into warring fragments and
losing all we have gained in years of
sturdy combat." ^
For the State University.
Senator Faulkner 1ms secured for
the museum of the University of
West Virginia one hundred dupli
cate sets of alcoholic fishes from the
United States National Museum,
upon the condition that the Univer
sity of West Virginia will furnish the
bottles of alcohol for their preserva
tion and exhibition. This will not
cost the University more than from
fifty to seventy-five dollars. Some
time ago the Senator secured a large
number of geological specimens, and
if these now secured ara accepted,
they will aid in forming a nucleus of
what in the course of time, with
other gifts from this and other
sources, will become an admirable
museum for the University. ?
[Martinshurg Statesman.
Harper?Neer.
A very pretty wedding took place
in the First Baptist Church at Mar
tinsburg at high noon to-day, the
contracting parties being Miss Lillian
I. Neer, daughter of Mr. John W.
Neer, of that place, and Mr. Will S.
Harper, of Ilagerstown, clerk at
Aughinbaugh's drug store, and well
known in this city. Rev. Hundley,
pastor of the church, officiated. The
baidesmaid was Miss Ada Evans, of
Ilarrisburg, Pa., and the best man
was Mr. John Kirby, also of Harris
burg. The ushers were Messrs. U.
S. G. Pitzer, John W. Neer, of Mar
tinsburg, C. C. Moore, of Ilarris
burg, and John C. Irving, of Ila
gerstown. The* couple marched to
the altar to strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march. The happy couple
left this evening on their wedding
tour for Philadelphia and other east
ern cities. The presents were nu
merous and very handsome. They
will take up their residence in this
city upon their return.?Hag. Globe.
The Clarksburg Sun, speaking of
, the talk about running Win. L. Wil
son for governor, says:
"Mr. Wilson should remain where
he is, and where he is regarded by
the country as one of the most bril
liant parliamentary leaders in Con
gress. He has made many heroic
sacrifices for his party, and is proba
bly willing to make more, but it is
asking and expecting too much to
call him from the arena in which he
covered himself with glory and his
Stale with enduring renown to make
the race for Governor."
Leading editors and politicians of
the State are a unit in the opinion
that Hon. Wm. L. Wilson is too
prominent a figure in the politics of
the nation to be taken from his pres
ent position to enter the gubernato
rial contest, and also that good men
and true are numerous who in head
ing the Democratic State ticket
would lead the forces to victory. It
is further conceded that while there
are several men who would fill the
ofBcc of chief executive with credit,
honor and distinction, there is no
man who from the Secoud District ?
would fill Mr. Wilson's place inCon^!
gress.?Mor. Ney Dominion. / I
senator Charles J. Faulkner.
The National Farm and Fireside,
^>f Washington city, says of the
junior Senator from West Virginia:
Few men in the Federal Senate
have made a cleaner or more correct
record in the interest of the farmers
than Senator Charles J. Faulkner, of
West Virginia. In and out of season
be has battled to advance the welfare
of bis State and country. Hi9 every
vote has been recorded against mo
nopoly combinations, and all kinds of
oppressions that have been placed1
upon the people by the legislation of
Congress.
Senior Faulkner has stood square
ly on the platform in the interest of
agriculture, and no Senator has done
more to bring about the results that
have been obtained of recent years
for the relief *f the American farm
ers than be.
.During bis first year in the Senate,
in the Forty-ninth Congress, he was
noted as one of the most active, en
ergetic, and aggressive opponents,
in both the committee and the Senate,
of the attempt which was made to au
thorize the ownership of large tracts
of our Western lands by foreign
syndicates and speculators.
In the Fiftieth Congress he intro
duced the Faulkner Pure Food Bill
(upon which the bill passed this
week was constructed, as was also
the very important measure known
as the Meat Inspection Bill, which
has opened the European markets to
our meat products.)
Having taken ttie initiative, in
these most important measures, Sen
ator Faulkner has stood squarely by
them, and from the beginning to the
end has faithfully and honestly rep
resented the interest of his constit
uents and the farmers of the country
?but not alone in these measures
but in all others, that have affectcd
the farmers, has this gentleman been
found working and voting for their
interest and welfare. While stead
fastly standing by the farmers' inter
est he has steadily climbed to leader
ship in the Senate among his party
associates, and no man in the Senate
to-day stands higher or is more
thoroughly appreciated as a clear
headed, honest, and earnest party
leader than Charles J. Faulkner, the
friend of the farmer.
A*Card.
Mr. Editor:?I notice in the last
issue of your Valuable . and influen
tial paper a communication from
"Jefferson," suggesting my name
for the Legislature. Permit me to
return my profound thanks to "Jef
ferson." and to say that I have not
the slightest idea or intention of
being a candidate for the Legisla
ture. Kindly also remove my name
from the candidates' column, as I
have no desire to be one of the "anx
ious few" and of the "disappointed
many." I aui content to remain in
the rank and file, always willing and
ready to help my friends, and to vote
the Democratic ticket at all times
and under all circumstances.

Mr. Benjamin Winn, a brother-in
law of Senator Faulkner, died Fri
day of pneumonia.
Gov. Fleming has appointed Hon.
A. It. Unger, of Morgan county,
treasurer of Berkeley Springs, vice
Isaiah Buck, deceased.
Judge Lucas has announced his in
tention of declining a re-nomination
to the position he now holds. When
his term is ended he expects to devote
a large portion of his time to the con
genial occupation of literary work.
His position of Judge of the Court of
Appeals is the most laborious and
poorly paid in the State. The pro
fession will regret to hear of his de
termination. No Judge of this Court
has ever stood higher in their estima
tion, and if possible they would like
to retain his learning, industry and
ability which have made for him such
an excellent record during his short
term. ?Martinsburg Statesman.

The proposition to ask Hon. W. L.

to become a candidate for Governor
Las been pretty well discussed by
our State exchanges, and with hut
one or two exceptions the whole State

Governor Fleming informs tlie
Gazette that the alleged interview
with him. published in a recent issue
of the National Democrat, purport
ing to give his views on the Demo

fall, misrepresents and misquotes
him. lie did not give it as his opin
ion that the influx of new voters into
the State since 1888 would make it
hard for the Democrats to win, but
said, rather, that the Republicans
were claiming that these new voters
made the State Republican. Gover
nor Fleming says his own opinion is
that these new voters do not endan

party this fall. We ire glad- to cor

Fred Thomas, the receiving clerk
of the Norfolk ? Western freight
office, accompanied by bis wife and
children, bare been visiting friends
in the North, and on- their return
were compelled to stop over at
Shenandoah Junction. Mr. Thomas
was strolling along on the platform
while his wife and baby were in the
waiting room. Lewis Toun. a negro
and ex-convict from the West Vir
ginia penitentiary, approached her
and made some insulting remarks.
Mrs. Thomas becamc very much
frightened and called her husband,
who, as soon as he ascertained what
the scoundrel hud said, attacked him,
but was no matdli for the rascal.
The negro, being about to get the ad
vantage of his assailant, a peddler
present grabbed a heavy iron poker
and tlruck the scoundrel across the
back with such violence as to bend
the poker, disabling the negro, end
ing the encounter. No arrest was
made, as Mr. Thomas did not wish
to be detained, and as the negro's
destination was Roanoke, he tele
graphed to have an officer in waiting
when the train arrived. Mrs. Thomas,
we understand, was a Miss Rush, of
the viciDity of Vanclevesville, Berke
ley county.
The above, from the Advocate, is
about as we understand the circum
stances from persons at the Junction.
The Roanoke Times says that Toun
was arrested and tried before Justice
Turner of that place. The Times
says:
The lady during the examination
completely broke down and could
not finish her statement of the negro's
outrageous conduct. Her hasband
related the punishment that was
given Touns by him self and several
others. Touns who is a stout,
repulsive looking negro, attempted to
play crazy by talking about machin
ery running and birds singing when
questioned about the occurrence,
but he managed to get himself in
a net when pressed and said he meant
his remarks for another person who
was in the room with Mrs. Thomas.
Justice Turner.although the crime was
committed in West "Virginia, said
that he would not turn the man loose,
and sentenced him to the chain gang
for thirty days. Touns was very
unruly after being locked up, and
threatened to do mischief when he
got an opportunity. He said that if
he had gotten hold of a pistol before
his arrest he would have shot Mr.
Thomas and the other gentleman
who were administeing a much de
served threshiner to him for his insult
ing remarks to Mrs. Thomas.

A semi-fiendish delight often aectne to pos

temper. Tlte very genuine and distressing
symptoms from which he suffers are made
lieht of. "He" or "she is a crank!" Is the
cheerful sort of sympathy with which the ner
vous invalid meets from the unfeeling and the
thoughtless. At the same time no complaint
is more defined and real, none has a more
easily explainable origin when it is chronic.?
Imperfect digestion and assimilation are al
ways accompanied by nervous debility and
anxiety. Build up the powers of assimilation
and digestion with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and nervous symptoms, sick headaches and a

produced by la grippe ainone weakly, nervous
people. Hostetters Stomach Bitters cures it,

fiercely that there was barely time to
unhitch the horces and lead them
away from the wagon. The fodder

Almost a Miracle
44 C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
"Gentlemen: When I was 14 years of age
I was confined to my bed for several months
by an attack of rheumatism, and when I had
partially recovered I did not have the use of
my legs, so that I had to go on crutches.
About a year later, Scrofula, in the form of
White Swellings,
appeared on various parts of my body, and
for eleven years I was an invalid, being con
fined to my bed aix years* In that time
ten or eleven of these sores appeared and
broke, causing me great pain and suffering.
Several times pieces of bone worked out of
the sores. Physicians did not help me and
I Became Discouraged
44 I went to Ohicago to visit a sister, as it
was thought a change of air and scene might
do me good. But I was confined to my bed
most of the time. I was so impressed
with the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla
in cases similar to mine that I decided to try
1L So a bottle was bought, and to my great
gratification the sores soon decreased, and I
began to feel better. This strengthened my
faith in the medicine, and in ashort time I was
Up and Out of Doors
To make a long story short, I continued to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla for a year, wben I
bad become so fully released from the chains
of disease that I took a position Kith the

have not lost a single clay on account of
sickness. I always feel well, am In good
spirits, and have a good appetite. 1 endorse
