Nomination of John A: Bling

eight candidates. and each candidate hav-
ing numerous ruiinue of friends. the at
tendance was unusually large. The crowd
however, WAS totally devoid of enthusiasm,
aud seemed to have no heart in the business
for which il convened
The convention was called tO order at u,
when after electing officers and appointing a
committee on resolutions, the meeting ad
iourred until after dinner
When the convention re-asSembled the
first business in order was the nomination of
candidates for Congress 4 gentleman from
Harrison nominated John 4. Bingham
amid a silence that was absolutely painful
Instead of the applause which usually grccts
the favorite of party, Mr., Bingham s
name fell unnoticed upon the ear of the as
semblage. Mr.. Poorman having lost the
opportunity of standing for Belmont coun-
~ proposed the name of Captain Lorenzo
nanford. OF St Clairsvilla. and supported
his nominee by few wcll-chosen remarks.
Capt. Danford, Mr. Poorman said. had
stood amid the battle flame at Shiloah.
Stone River, and Mission Ridge, and his
nomination was sked in behalf Of the army
and the loyal people of Belmont county
The sequel proved however. that the claims
of the soldier, to use Mr.. Danford'S elegant
expression upon another subject, had ''play-
ed ont and that the dccayed politician who
already holds two or threcfcdc offices, and
only asks to go to Congress eight times, and
then is content to be generous enough to re-
tire forever, had more claims upon the con
centrated loyalty of the 10th District, than
has that army between the loved homes of
shoddy and wars desolation. Mr.. Danford
it is true, had barred his bosom to the mur-
derous steel, but then, the delegates argued,
Mr.. Bingham was a 'rc11rcSentdtire man, !"
was better suited, with his plant tongue
for the crisis. thanthe man who had proved
his patriotism at the point of his sword. =
The polical demagogue, in the eyes of that
hvpoclitical convention. was more worthy
of their honors than the tried soldier
After Mr. Pooman had sat down, null
titude of heads popped up in different parts
of the hall. and proposed names innumera-
Die as suitable to represent the Union SEN
timcnt" of this district There was dreary
sameness into the drawl which sounded the
names as well as in the abilities of the can
didates. The convention didn't 90 very
high even when the name of Bingham was
announced. but it went low down and crawl
cd out of the little end of the horn when
Mr. VIM. Frazier, of Noble county, most
Gtt;ur herald, proposed the name Of Abra-
ham Simmon s.

his name. He said the first duty of the
convention was to nominate the best man.
He did not believe that he was that man,
and his engagements were such that he
could not devote that attention to the cause
which it required. the Judge is appraiser
of the district and thought one office was
enough for him. He has evidently not

school of modesty.
From the first it became that Bingham
