Report adopted.
The officers came forward and TOOK
their places.
The President returned.thauks for this
mark Of confidence and respect. Having
so recently presided ut the deliberations
Of the State, Democratic Convention
Ut Charleston, llc, Aal not expected
this hohor. He had to say, that
Fall ht could do here and elsewhere
TO preserve harmony in the ranks Of the
great Democratic party OF the state
should be done. Our friends are sitting
here, he said, expecting perhaps, unless
there q something out Of'the usual course
Of affairs, 70 have something sensational
to dispatch this evening from West
Union Couldn't boz done-no telegraph
office there. You know that in the ranks
Of the ,RepublicanSin every Congressional
district there have been dissensionS and
dissatisia6ti9Hs, and they are all torn
asundcr, and cannot harmonic and unite
How 1t was in the First we all know.
How 1t is in the Second, Is also apparent
from what we see ip the papers Let 1t
not be said that the Democratic party-R
party that has been from the time West
Virginia was thrown out into It's orbit,
battling for principle, for right and for
those God-givci principles th6t our
fathers batAed theirysOp and themselves
in blood 70 obtain, shall be FILTERED away
here. We shallnOt doiit u know '-lRo
have convened hero 70 harmonic. We
expect to-day to'n0riinate the next Con.
gresham for the First District Of West
Virginia. We cannot do It except through
harmonious action, !, We must come right
up here ready TO lay all personal feeling,
every personal ambittononthe altar 0Eour
country, because the stakes too great, too
great Indeed for Us to quarrel over 1t
now. What was said in the Third Con.
gressionil District, A gentleman who
wasa candidate before fiat body, Mtang'
ling over the charge Of fraud and corrup-
ton, said the Republican party could no
longer be, held together by the cohesive
power Of public pltnder. We are not
after plumber. We have not got anything
10 plumber; and it will be sometime after
we have had our hands In tho public crib
before such remark could be made
among us. We arc not battling for plum
der or otTlce, [Oh mol! but tor the great
principles that have been handed down
to lis by our fathers: and it becomes US
as freemen, descendedi from v6lutlonhfy
sires, to lay aside every personal feeling
and come up here and 'nOfaihateSa' man
whom we can all support, in all, sections
Of the district, cordially. Sd iar as my
own section IL concerned, glIl Il believe,
in every section Of this whole district, the
man who today gets tree and voluntary
nptumatim from this Convention Yiltre.
