crOcy. The gathering is somewhat larger
than tile Republican Convention here two
years ago. The Convention assembled in
the market house, at ii AM. The build.
ing had been tastefully lestooned and con.
veniently arranged, except that the stand
was unfortunately located at one end, the
result being that the communication by
sound between the stand and the crowd,
only reached about halfway to the rear.
The Panhandle delegation happened to be
placed lurthest back, they were crowded
clear behind the seats, and could
neither hear nor be heard. The result
was that they ragged furiously and
sent q delegation forward TO notify
the Chair that they would not stand it.
They were quieted by the promises of
seats well forward this afternoon. J. W.
Gallaher, OF Marshall, presided tempo
rarlly, being nominated by MIR. Baker
Chairman Of the State Committee. Your
townsman, Barney Galligan, was made
temporary secretary with assistants. The
Senatorial delegations had by previous
arrangement held meeting and selected
the members Of the several committees,
so that there was nothing to do but to an
nounce these and take recess. This was
done with but little confusion. Its un.
deEstood thatthese preliminary meetings
and the committees selected were all set up
by the aCamden.J Jackson .Baker-Wa
ring, who, If this be true, will have full
control of the Convention: -
Mr.. Walker, of the Courier, offered a
resolution pledging all candidates before
the Convention TO abide its action. This
was tabled as out of order before the
regular organization. 1t was aimed at
Gov. Jacob, who is here, and who, it has
been reported this morning, is disposed, il
he finds himself unfairly dealt with,
will not submit.
The latest rumor is that he has with.
drawn from the candidacy. The feeling
between the Camden and Jacob men
runs high, and there is material for a
first class explosion if Gov. Jacob should
see fit to apply the match. think, how
ever, he will not make trouble.
]. W. Jackson was unanimously nomi-
mated this morning by q Judicial Conven-
ton for Judge Of this Circuit.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Upon reassembling, the Conyention
was organized by choosing Mr.. J. Blair
Hoge, of Berkely, for President, and o. s.
Long Of the Register for Secretary, with
Dana L. Hubbard, Of your city and Nv.
Woofndin, ot-tAe Weston Democrat, as
assistants.
MI. Long, declined from the pressure OF
other duties and Mr.. Galligan, of Wheel
ing was made permanent Secretary.
Over the report On the Order Of Busi:
ness there was q contest whether the
Judges ofsthe Supreme Court should be
chosen onetrom each Congressional dis
trict and the fourth from the State at
large, or whether all four should come
from the State at large. The report Of
the Committee proposed the first method.
Col. Ben Wilson, Of Harrison, moved
the latter, and the recommendation Of the
committee was finally agreed to. Then
followed
TIE REPORT ON RESOLUTIONS,
which was made by H. s. Walker, Of
Kanawha, as the unanimous report of the
committee. The resolutions, which are
as follows, were the result Of long and
laborious grind in committee: M
