BT ACCLAMATION The State Senatorial Contention at Wen Union Names a Candidate. [CopMfrom Monday'i Whaling Intelligen cer.] West Union. W. Va., July 28.?The most enthusiastic and harmonious convention ever held in the Third Senatorial District is the universal opinion of the convention here to-day. The district is composed of Harrison, Doddridge. Ritchie and Tyler counties, and is ordinarily Re publican by 1,600 majority, hence the nomination is virtually an election, and is a plum that is eagerly contended for. The only candidates that have created any stir were Col. Joseph M. McKln ney, of Ritchie county, and Stuart F. Reed, of the Clarksburg Telegram, and friends of each of these gentlemen claimed that their candidate was in the lead. Early this morning the Harrison delegates, to the number of about forty, arrived, each delegate wearing a Reed badge and pre pared to fight for his favorite. An hour or two later the hills and hollows began to turn out the Doddridge, Ritchie and Ty ler delegates, and when the con vention was called to order at 10:30 the court house was over flowing. The convention was rapped to order by W. H. Ransey, of Dodd ridge, chairman of the Senatorial Executive Committee, who called James Bumgardner, Esq., of Salem to preside as temporary chairman. In taking the chair Mr. Bumgardnermade an enthu siastic speech counseling har mony in deliberation and prud ence in selecting a candidate. Mr. Homer B. Woods, of Harris ville, was made temporary secre tary and the usual committees were appointed. The committee on credentials reported that all Republicans should be made delegates and al lowed a vote. Committee on permanent or ganization reported the follow ing : For chairman, 0. W. O. Hardman, of Tyler, and for sec retary, A. A. Bee, of the West istic, forcful speeches that aroused the convention to the greatest enthusiasm, and during all the time he presided demon strated his abilitv to do so to the satisfaction of all present. The following resolutions ware pre sented : "We the Republicans of the Third Senatorial district in con vention assembled, do hereby re affirm the platform of the last National Convention at Min neapolis, the declarations of Re publicans heretofore made and adopted in State conventions, and we particularly adopt and re affirm the platform of the State League of Republican clubs held at Fairmont June 19, 1894. We denounce the Democratic legis lature of this State for its unjust gerrymander in the apportion ment of Senators and members of the house of delegates to the various counties and districts of the State, whereby certain coun ties of this State are deprived of their just aud rightful repre sentation. "We denounce the present Democratic national administra tion for its general display of in capacity and for its shameful misuse of power in that it has .utterly failed to give the much needed relief from the present .depression of business affairs. Resolved, That as the Demo ?cratic party is now on its retreat we propose to do what we can to accelerate its movements. Rm lived. That while the Demo cratic executive and Senators of this country are engaged in mangling etch other we will aid in the work by holding the coats of both sides. Rcxolved, That in opposing whatever the Democrats favor we are sure to be right. Resolved, That we endorse that McKinley tariff law and that we favor an abundance of good sound money to meet th'e wants of the people. Resolved, That we pledge a patriotic and economic adminis tration of State affairs by the Republican party from 1894 for ward. On roll call for nominations no response was heard from Dodd ridge, but on the partof Harrison Mr. W. Prank Stout, of Bridge port, a student of the West Vir ginia University, in the greatest effort of his life, presented the name of Stuart F. Keed. * * ? The tumultuous applause that followed suddenly died away as j the eloquent apostle of Republi canism from Ritchie, Romeo H. Freer took the floor, and, when hundreds were awaiting to hear the name of Colonel McKinney placed in nomination, Colonel Freer declared that while they abated not a tithe of the honor and esteem in which they held their candidate they had decided to yield gracefully to the claims of the gentleman from Harrison county, whose nomination it gave him the greatest pleasure, not only to second, but to move that he be declared the choice of the convention by acclamation. The motion was carried with the wild est enthusiasm, and Reed was brought forward, and in a few remarks thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon Harrison county and upon him self. * * * He will be the youngest Senator ever elected from this district, a worthy successor of Judge Edwin Maxwell, and the equal of the oldest. Stirring speeches were made by Jesse F. Snodgrass, a proba ble member of the next legisla ture from Doddridge county, ex Senator P. W. Morris. Senator Farr Hon. Romeo H. Freer, U. S. Davis, of Freston, and Major A. C. Moore, Harrison county's candidate for Congress, who made many friends by his pat riotic utterances and telling thrusts at Democracy. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the ringing remarks of Colonel Mc Kinney. who for thirty-three years has never wavered in his devotion to his party.

We suggested recently that President Cleveland should write a ringing letter declaring that under no circumstances would he sign a tariff bill embracing a scandalous Sugar Trust schedule and an odious income tax. It was disclosed last week that as Ion* ago as the 2d of this month the President wrote a let ter on the tariff bill to Prof. Wilson, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. In this missive he piteously begs that a Democratic Congress will keep the oft-repeated Democrat ic promise of raw materials. He apologises for, if he does not de fend, the Sugar Trust, and com pletely accepts the infamous in famous income tax as one to be deprecated, but as one which does not "violate a fixed and rec ognized Democratic doctrine." President Cleveland's letter is an extraordinary document. It is pertinent to the question, but impertinent to the situation. It is vehement in its demand only for free raw materials, "to fulfill Democratic pledges and the re dempiion of Democratic promises to the people." The President bluntly says that the compromise bill engineered in the Senate by Mr. Gorman "falls far short of the consummation for wnich we have long labored, for which we have snffered defeat without dis couragement, which in its antici pation gave us a rallying cry in our day ot triumph, and which in its promise of accomplishment is so interwoven with Democratic pledges and Democratic success that our abandonment of the cause of the principles upon which it rests means party per fidy andndishonor." Above all things the President asks that free raw materials shall be provided, and he is consistent enough to refer to the absurdity of the 'suggestion that the wool of the farmer be put on the free list and the protection of tariff taxation be placed around iron ore and coal of corporations and capitalists. On this question there is no middle ground." *iBut here the courage of |the Presi dent ends. As to 1 the Sugar Trust he alludes to it las ? -a deli cate subject," and handles it most delicately. While he says he has "no tenderness for trusts," he insists that it shall not be for gotten that "our aim is the com pletion of a tariff bill, and that in taxing sugar for proper pur poses and within reasonable bounds, whatever else may be said of our action we are in no dauger of running counter to Democratic principle." The let ter closes with an appeal for "an honorable adjustment and com promise," even if that embraces the acceptance of the income tax rider. For a letter which:begins eo pugnaciously this concluding suggestion of compromise with the Sugar Trust and surrender to populists is, indeed, pitiful. Advices from Washington in dicate that the President's letter is as likely to lead to 4 deadlock as to a compromise. The House and the Senate are arrayed against each other by the Presi dent. It is a remarkable and un precedented situation. No Pres ident but Grover Cleveland would have thus impertinantlv and unwarrantly intruded be tween the two houses of the leg islative branch of the govern ment. But the work has been done, and now it remains for the Republican members to do their part. In the House of Representa tives the Committee on Rules will be able to stifle debate at any time, but in the Senate no pre vious question can be put, and the debate can be limitless. Again we urge that the thirty seven Republican Senators shall agree together and make public onnouncement that no bill as sailing the. protective tariff will be permitted to pass at this ses sion.
