NOMI NATION OF GENERAL EPPA
HINTON.
THURSDAY, AUGUST Is, 1872.

The Conservative Congressional Convention
Of the Eighth District, which has been IN ses-
sion at the Assembly Rooms, in this city, to-
day, consummated its work this evening by the
nomination of Gen. EppA HUTTON, OF Eau
ouier, for the House of Representatives
Though all the other gentlemen voted tor
we're men of well-known ability, yet the noml-
nation is acknowledged upon all sides to be
most excellent one, and will command the
unanimous support Of all those who favor re-
form in the national administration.
The Convention was the most harmonious
meeting of the sort we have ever seen, tol
though the various delegations earnestly press
ed the claims of their respective candidates,
they did so with courtesy we have rarely seen
equaled, and when the vote was made unanl
nous, it was not merely pro forma as usual, but
with cordiality and uuanimity which will add
additional weight to the nomination.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1872-08-15

Mr.. Boyce, Of Frederick, objected. upon the
ground that since that time there had been a
great many votes added the CONSERVATIVE
party by the removal of disabilities, additions to
the party &c, and besides, he said: many Con-
sservatives had not voted for Walker, who were
since sorry they had not. He thought the
last election should be the criterion.
Mr.. Rciley read from circular from the
State Executive Committee to show that twas
intended that the Walker vote should be the
basis. -;
Mr.. Boycc contended that the adoption of
such basis would be an unfair expression.
Mr.. John Marshall, of Fauquicr, thought
that all the colored vote bad beeu cast for Wells
aud that Walkers vote was the fuirest basis
that could be had. :s'
The resolution was finally adopted.
The resolution offered by Major Hunter re-
curing two-thirds vote to nominate was then
taken up, ....t
Mr.. Moffett, of Rappahannock, opposed the
two thirds rule, and wanted simple majority:
Maj Hunter advocated the two-thirds rule,
because, he said there were four counties 10 the
district that could control the nomination, un:
less such rule was adopted The adherence to
such rule might trouble the 'wire-pulers'
and 'manipulators, but could not affect the
chance OF any prominent man., and, 10 his
opinion, it might require man who could get Il
two thirds vote here to carryth district against
an independent candidate.
Mr. Boyce agreed with Mr.. Hunter and I'D
vocated the TWO thirds rule. which he said, was
an old Democratic and Wing rule simple
majority might get another Greeley in the field.
Mr.. john Marshall denied that the two-thirds
was a Wing rule; it had been adopted by the
Democrats to prevent the North, where the
numerical strength laid, from overriding the
South.
Mr.. Voolfolk called the previous question:;
which being sustained, the vote was taken by
counties, and resulted in the adoption of the two
thirds rule, as follows:
Ayes-Alexaudria 1877, Clark, GIT, Fair
fax pa, Frederick l.572, Fauquler go, Lou,
doun 2, l49, Orange $50, Rappahannock 744,

coed with the nominations, on motion of Mr..
Voolfolk, nominating speeches were restricted
to five minutes

''TuE CRlspGNs' The threat Of the Lynn
shoemakcrs to withdraw their deposits said to
amount to 81 SOC, 900, from the savings banks
as means of reducing their employers to their
terms, the New York Bulletin tells Us, seems
very formidable until it COMES to be examined
The effect of withdrawing the deposits will COM
pei the banks to foreciosc on their mortgages,
and thus great many families will be deprived
of their homes and the savings paid ON them
This action would also effect sorckccpers and
merchants to au extent that would render them
unable or unwilling to give the usual credit for
meat and groceries that enables the workmen
to tide over strike movement. There is also
another point. The Massachusetts savings bank
are among the soundcst in the world, aud those
in Lynn are probably no exception, and if they
want it they could easily obtain all the aid they
might require from Boston, Springfield or New
York capitalists. On the whole, this Crspln
threat Of injuring the employers ny withdrawing
the deposits of savings banks is Of the most
impotent character, as showing the prevailing
ignorance on even the most elementary rrln-
cplcs of political economy.
