MOORE JACKSON
NOMINATED BY
THE DEMOCRATS
Of the First Congressional District
Yesterday at Slatersvillo on
First Ballot.
CANDIDATE WITH MONEY BAGS
Which Tells the Story of Colonel
Jackson's Easy Victory Over
Several AspirantsIT
WAS A SMALL CONVENTION
Attended by lesB Than 100 Delegates?The
Enthusiasm in Keeping
With the Crowd.
From a Staff Correspondent.
SISTERS'VILLE, W. Va., Aucust' 2S.
?The Democrats of the First district
. to-day nominated a man for Congress
who twice decllnsd to accept the nomination
when overtures wore made to
him; 'a man tvhom they fear will yet
persist In his refusal and place them
' In a ridiculous plight, but whom they
hope to force to remain on* the ticket
, by entreaties and bugaboo stories o*
'' Ko nroit h?rm thnt will befall the
party If he refuses to run. This mar.
Is Colonel T. Moore Jackson, of Clarksburg,
banker, capitalist and president
of the "Short Line" railroad. This man
of the classes, as the Democrats have
baen so fond of denominating most
men who have acquired some of this
world's goods, was run rough-shod over
"Silver Bill" Kiucald. Wylle Beall and
Winfleld Scott, while Edmlston and on?!
or two others who had been mentioned
as likely candidates, saw how, the wind
was blowing and got out of the way in
advance.
It was a nomination by the bosae.s,
who want a man on the congressional
ticket who will "put up the stuff," and
plenty of it. It was Just the sort of
game that was worked out in the Second
district, with the difference that
the First district Dsmocrats don't yet
Know that their candidnte will endorse
their action of this afternoon. A com*
mltteo was named to notify the colonel,
but :i3 Hanco Crlswell said; the real
work of the committee is to get down
on its knees and pi ay for all they're
worth that the dear colom?l may accept.
Very wisely, John Howard moved
that the congressional committee bft
empowered to till vacancies (on tho
ticket?already they fear "their candidate
will not be their candidate.
The "Inner Circle."
Although it was the general impress.
Ion that Colonel Jackson was not a
candidate, and might not accept the
honor, it is stated by the Inner circle
Democrats of the district that they
knew' what they were doing and had
assurances on Monday that their man
would not leave them in the lurch by
.-declining the nomination. These same
Democrats feel that thev have named a
strong candidate?about the only one
who can give Captain Dovener anything
approaching a contest. They
work it out that he will have the corporations
back of him, notably the Ohio
River and "Short Line" railroad influences,
and in addition ther-j are those
bulky Jackson money bags?they're
very alluring, and it Is being whispered
about among the knowing ones that
the combination is "dead easy." But
money bass and corporations don't always
carry elections, and this will be
demonstrated right up to the hilt In
the present Instance.
Hanson Crlswell was a disgusted individual.
He was heart and soul for
Colonel Klncaid, and in the defeat of
his candidate and the success of the
man of money bags he feels that the
Popocracy Is departing from its vaunted
position of champion of the masses.
"Here we nominated a man named
Davis out in the Second district. Just
because his leg can be pulled; and,now
we've repeated the trick here In our
First district. Guess I'll have to vote
Hie Prohibition ticket."
The convention was remarkable for
small attendance, little or no enthusiasm
and the cut-and-drled charactcr
of the proceedings. After the nomination
had be?n made one of the bnn?3.i
Inadvertently started on "Dixie," and
It caused more cheering in two minutes
than had characterized the entire
previous proceedings.
Brook? county was represented by
Just one delegate; Hancock had only
two or three, and several other counties
had limited representation, and
only twenty-one of Ohio's fifty delegates
were on hand, and some of these
were spectators who had been loaded
up with proxies. Altogether there were
not one hundred delegates in attendance.
Sistersviiio people say it is one of the
smallest conventions they ever entertained-ithey
expected several hundred
more visitors, and the corporal's guard
that materialized surprised everybody
here.
Morning Session,
The first session of the convention
was announced to be opened at ll?*3i)
o'clock. Before that hour two bands,
one stationed In the pit of the Opera
House and the other in the gallery,
waged a musical contest that waa
"something ilerco," and had at least the
effect of drawing a handful of delegates
to the hall und a score or more of
spectators.
The scene in the hail when the hour
of calling the convention to order had
arrived was dismal and forlorn. Not
more than seventy people were seated
In the section nllotcd for delegate)!. In
the center of the pit was a large space
set OHlde for Ohio county's "Ofty," and
the twenty-one who were present failed
woefully In their effort to ill! the space.
In the "bunch" were John Wate'rhouso,
"Tom" Darrah. Charley Hchmldt. Hance
Crlswell, M. J. O'Kano, Itobert MeNicholl,
Bernlo Hamllon, Ocon;o II.
Wood, Charles Menkemlller, A. H. Wcldebunch.
I. Pappet, John J. Ki-rrell, C.
I'. Woods, Henry Jialaer, J a men
O'lyjary, Charles Steoetzcr, I. V. Jonua,
W. M. Hutchison, J.' L. Robinson,'
James Cas30t and J. J. Batchelor.
The convention was rapped to order
at 11:50 by Jake Fisher, of Braxton
county, and was opened with prayer
by Rev. Bowden, of Slatersvllle, After
which Hon. John A, Howard, of WheelIng,
was announced as temporary
chairman, and Silas P. Smith as socro- ,
tary. Mr. Howard was received with
llb&ral hand-clapping.
The Debonair Howard.
Mr. Howard looked debonair and
natty In a suit of gray. This campaign;
he said, would show that the United
States htfs gone out of the war business
and that we have replanted the constitution;
that we will have stopped oppressing
other peoples and countries.
The end of this campaign will teach
the Republican party the same lesson
that was taught In '76. The McKInley
administration was criticised for Its
Philadelphia policy, and It was called
a policy of "murder and land robbery."
Republicans had said they couM not
withdraw from the Philippines. The
solution Is eaay?vote for W. J. Bryan,
and we. will withdraw from those
islands, believing that all men are born
free and equal, and that the Filipinos
are entitled to frame their osvn government.
To Republicans wanting :o
get out of the entanglements of che
Philippine war, the speaker said, "vote
for William J. Bryan and he'll take you
out." Concluding the speaker predicted
Holt's success In this state. Mr. Howard
was again heartily chetred when
he closed, that vast .crowd of "ninety,"
aided by a gallery of "twenty," by ac-'
tual count, making an amazing racket.
And half of the gallery was made up
of "kids," too.
The Committees.
A delegate moved to appoint the
usual committee. When Brooke county .
was called the lone detagate, H. Zllllken,
arose and said: "I'm the only dele- .
gate present; put me down on the com- ,
mlttee on credentials."
"We'll put you on all committees,"
said Chairman Howard.
"Well, I can only serve on-one," retorted
Mr. ZUllken, amid laughter from
the delegates.
The following committees were
named, several counties falling to name
representatives on all:

After the committees had been named
there was a motion to adjourn until 2
p. m. An amendment to 1:30 p. m. was
defeated, and the original motion prevailed.
Afternoon Session.
The attendance at the afternoon session
was much hir^er, there being probably
two hundred spectators, Including
two score or more women, who were
given seats on the stam* with "Silver
1JIU" Klncald, of Cameron; the veteran
Colonel A. A. Lewis, of Weston; Stewart
Walker, who had been. imported
from Martlnnburg for a speech, and
other party leaders.
The two bands stationed In the gallory
played alternately In a desperate
effort to extract from tho gathering
something of Its funereal character,
and with partial success.
Chairman Howard called the convention
to order at 2:15.
The committee on credentials recommended
the vote for Bryan In ISM
as the basis of representation, giving
the counties the following representation:
Braxton, 22; Brooke, 7; Doddridge,
12; Gilmer, 14; Harrison, 25; Hancock,
6; Lewis, 17; Marshall, 21; Ohio,
50; Tyler, 18; Wettel 25; total, 217; necessary
for choice, 100. The committee
also recommended that all Democrats
bo admitted as delegates. The report
was adopted.
The committee on permanent organization
recommended for permanent
chairman Lewis Bennett, of Weston, |
and S. P. Smith, of West Union, secretary.
Mr. Bennett's Speech.
Chairman Bennett, in. assuming the
chair, addressed the convention on the i
Issues of the campaign. Foremost he
placed the issue uf the trusts, which ho
claimed are duo to Republican legislation.
Imperialism, ho said, Is a fight (
for tho very existence of our govern- i
ment, which cannot exist half republic
and half empire. The speaker could (
not see how n free West'Virginian could vote
for a policy like that of tho ad- i
ministration iii the Philippines. If West i
Virginia goes Republican, said Mr. i
Bennett, It will not bo by the votes of (
true West Virginians, but rather" by i
those of a class to which a number he
had seen cfrroppcd from a Baltimore &

In explicit terms, It was presumed the t

Secretary Smith read the report of t
the committee on resolutions, which got y
barely a hand-clap when concluded. c
The resolutions were as follows:
We) the Democrats of the First con- \
grecslonal district, in convention as- t
semblad, do reaffirm and endorse In (
whole and In part the platform of Dem- \
ocratic principles adopted by the na- <
tlonal convention, lately assembled in ^
Kansas City. t
Wp commend It to the honest voters 8
of the district for their serious and
favorable consideration, with an abid- v
Ing faith In the intelligence and integ- l
rity of the people, and in the full belief J
that faid platform presents the most I
wholesome doctrines enunciated since J
the making of the Declaration of Inde- c
pendence. * ]
Resolved, That we approve and en- "\
dor3e the platforms of Democratic
principles on state and national issues,
adopted June 6, 1900, by the state con- c
vention at Parkersburg, and we most j
heartily endorse the nominees of both
the Kansas City and Parkersburg con- j
ventions..
Delegate I. F. Jones, of Ohio county.
Introduced the following supplement.?! g
resolution, which was passed unani- j.
mously: ' c
Whereas, This convention has heatd (
with great sorrow-of the death of Colonel
Robert McEldowney, of the county
of Wetzel, state of West Virginia.
Colonel McEldowney was a brave''soldier,
an eminent lawyer, a brilliant
Journalist, a true Democrat and a patrl
otic citizen, of whom every West VI:
glnian was Justly proud. *
Resolved, That this convention doss
hereby tender to his bereaved family
ar.d friends its most sincere sympathy.
A Fight Precipitated.
Nominations for Congress were then
In order, announced the chair. c
Mr .Howard said the convention had Q
been favored with the presence of the p
Hon. S. W. Walker, and proposed that
he speak before the nomination was a
made. t
Joe Fowler, of Braxton, opposed fhio
suggestion, saying that it would take c
but twenty minutes to nominate the ^
candidate for Congress and the elec- a
tor, and many delegates desired tc a
avail themselves of the flrst opportunity ^
to leave for their homes. The speaker s
was frequently interrupted, especially
from the gallon'. . 1(
A vote was llnally taken, and it was c
decided to proceed with the regular or- t
der of business. The roll of counties ^
was called, and Braxton yielded to j,
Harrison. Orom Randolph named Win- ^
field Bcott, of Clarksburg. "Give us
Scott," said Randolph, "and wo tvJJl v
give him 1,000 majority In Harrison, in- j,
stead of Ita 500 Republican majority."
Henry Zlllken, of Brooke, named W. ^
\V. Beail. a
Doddridge liad no candidate. ti
Whan Marshall was reached William ^
Mclghen addressed the convention, t
naming Hon. William M. Klncald, of J(
Cameron, the "original free silver c
man." s
Howard Names tho Winner. d
John A. Howard, of Wheeling, was
the next speaker. This campaign, he
said, Involves the very liberties of the
people, Bryan must have a Democrat- T
Ic Congress back of him. Mr. Howard
must have been brooding over his defeat'by
Dovener Jn '94, as he made this
gratuitous (ling:-"Considering the representation
of the past six years, you
cannot help making an Improvement
here in this convention." The conven- 11
Hon, however, ought to name the man 11
who can get tho most votes. For. a
Democrat named John A. Howard ho
wanted to say that this man of greatest
strength Ih Hon, T. Moore Jackson, 1
of Clarksburg. The mention of .Tack- p
son's, name was enthusiastically re? u
cclved.by the convention.
"It in urged on the streets that Moore n
Jnckfipn Ih not a candidate," said Mr.
Howard.
"He ain't," was a cry that went up J"'
from ,all over the hall.
"Well, the Democratic party wants 1
him, olid he will not refuse," retorted
Mr. Howard. "He Js too true a Demo- c:
crat, .West Virginian and patriot to 0
refuse." '!
Hanson Crlnwell, of Wheeling, sec- "

The roll was called, but several counties
were not ready to vote. .
Tho Soil Call.
When tho roll call was gone through'
inly seven counties hod voted. Fowler,
>f Braxton, arose and attempted to explain
that county's vote.- He'began
iy saying that Colonel Jackson had
told him twice during the present ^'car
that he would not accept the nomination.
"If you nominate a man here
without his consent what will you do
ivhcri he declines? Twice he told me
solemnly that^ha would not take It."
rhe speaker was frequently interrupted
by the Jackson rooters, but plucklly
leld his ground and said Braxton would
iplit between Jackson and Scott.
Ohio voted 43 2-11 for Jackson, which
jave him the nomination.

SISTERSVJLLE, W. Va., August 2S.
-The Register's representative at the
onvention walked into the dining hall
f the Hotel Wells this evening for supler,
clad In a sky-blue shirt waist, a
ollar of the correct height and angli,
nd a Jauntily put up tie?but without
he conventional coat.
As this was Slstersvllle's first enounter
with the "shirt waist man." the
Vheeling scribe was the observed of
.11 observers from the moment of hU
ppuarance In the room, and It coul'.l
e seen that he was creating a genuine
ensation.
Rut this wasn't a murker to what fo"?3wed

ad marked the "shirt waist man" as

ad been officially declared a necessary
rtlcle of wearing apparel for men

The situation was rather einbarrnssiig,
but the young man took It coolly,
nd Informed the manager of the hos- ,
elry that he would don his coat if the.
entleman would kindly bring it from
he coat rack. This was done, the newsaper

Two Concerts to be Given at Wheeling
Park.
The groat musical event of the sum* ?
mer will be the concerts of the Banda
Rossa next Tuesday afternoon and evo
ning at Wheeling,park. This organlra
tlon la the most famous in music-loving
Italy, and the concerts here <vill prove
a rare treat to all who hear them. A
Philadelphia newspaper, speaking of a
recent concert in that city, says: "Tho
j Banda Rossa, which hasn't failed yet
to give splendid measure in the way cl
line music and entertainment, was
seemingly better than ever last night.
; Those numbers, among the encores,
which had been heard before apparent!
Jy had more of life and swing. Further,
it was a banner day among the soloslts,
practically all of whom had an Important
part. The Leipsic Fair," the deI
scrlptlve piece, which'other cities likeil
so well, was given last night, and for
eighteen minutes.the people reveled in
a potpouri of melody and ail sorts e!
funny and Interesting noises. Roosters
crowed singly, in pairs, in trios, quartettes
.and in chorus. Cows bawled,
horses neighed, dogs barked; in fact,al
most all the animals usually seen at
fairs were given a chance. Peasanu
trooped along Imaginary streets,
danced, sang And whistled. A patriotic
chord was struck in the arrival of the
emperor and the playing of "Die Wacht
am Rhine." A terrible storm broke and
the elements seemed wrought to terrible
fury within the sounding shell. Then
sunshine and the clamor about a depot,
the starting of a train, and the flnale,
in wltfch the people and the anitroh
tried to outdo each other. The piece
was well handled and will be repeated
later."
