and long continued applause.
srEEoH OF MAI. FITzHUeH.
Calls were made for Mai. N. Fltzhugh of
Kanawha, who was introduced by the
chairman and made ringing little speech
of20 minutes, which we regret that the ne.
cesslties Of time, space and labor, prevent
the presention OF this morning. He open.
ed out with sarcastic and cutting 70.
view Of the editor Of the Register. as
seeking to set himself up as the. Judge Of
what was orthodox Democracy for Others
aud applying 10 them rule he did not
apply to himself. Despite the dictum of
that oracle he avowed himself at once q
Democrat and friend Of Gov. Jacob. He
proceeded TO defend Gov. Jacob
and to assail the Ring, which he
compared to the celebrated Albany
Regency that so long controlled
the politics Of the State Of New York
for the sake Of filling its pockets. he
urged that this contest was war between
the people and the Parkersburg Regency
now seeking to iasten itself on the Dem
ocratic party Of the State and urged the
duty Of breaking it down, that we might
have government of the people instead
OF government Of the Ring.
Major FTTZHUGH spoke with much
fuency and animation, and was warmly
applauded.
Colonel Tnos. o'BRlRN offered the fol.
lowing, which was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Hon. John j. Jacob,
the present worthy and efficient Govern.
or OF West Virginia, has been tried and
found true and faithful to the trust and
confidence imposed in him by the Demo.
cratic party; and tohereaS his administra.
ton was fully endorsed and commended
even by his selected enemies who met at
Parkersburg, and tchereaS his nomination
was defeated by base and INSCRIPTIONS
means, and uhersdS the voice Of the
Democratic masses Of West Virginia has
been sif1ed by packed and pre-. .arrang.
ed invention; and tcltereaS, the Hon. John
J. Jacob, at the earnest and persistent so.
licitation OF the honest Democratic mass.
es Of the STATE has consented to be an
independent candidate for reelection to
