A ST. Louis lover gave up match
With $4,000 heiress because she OBJ
jected to smoking. Another adds:
1.-The maid, as by the papers doth appear,
Whom ffty thousand dollars made so dear,
To test Lothario's passion simply said,
Forget the weed before we go to wed;
For smoke take flame I'll be that flames
bright tanner;
70 have your Anna give up your HAVANA
But he, when thus she brought him to the
u scratch,
Lit his cigar and threw away his match"

are only TO be observed, in q Convention
where every, delegate thinks all the 9th
ers entirely wrong, and that he alone can
set them right. For few minutes a few
of the delegates seemedisogetangry, but
it was only for dysdd few IN MINUTES y. ties
and the discussion IF such it could be
called,) was generally conducted with
rare patience and good humor. d In the
midst of the row, some person proposed
that the alternates from Pocahontas
county be admitted to cast their vote for
Martin if the Martin men would consent
that the vote from Webster county, which
was also unrepresented, be cast for Mr..
Faulkner. The matter soon assumed
such shape as to be entirely unintelhgi-
BILE, and for a while made confusion worse
confounded. .......- .....
At length c.. NJ. Dawson, Esq, Of
Marion county, who had up to this time
made numerous unsuccessful efforts to
bring order out of chaos and had been
summarily raped down almost every
time, stood upon bench in the rear of
the hall and, waving his hat in his
hand and shouting at the top
of his voice, finally succeeded
in attracting moments atten-
ton. He then stated that he had been
authorized by Messrs. Faulkner and Mar
tia to propose that the secretary be au-
thorized to cast the four votes of Poca-
hontas county for Mr.. Martin, and the
two votes of Webster county for MIR.
Faulkner This proposition was received
with enthusiastic cheers and the whole
souabble was settled at single blow.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials was then adopted.
. By this time it was nearly = O'Clock,
and the Convention had at last reached
state of readiness to proceed to the actual
work of nomination.
A. Brooks Fleming, Esq, made a very
neat and eloquent speech, in which he
advocated the claims of Mr.. Martin to
receive the Democratic nomination. de
was followed by w. l.. Wilson, ESQ., OF
Jefferson county, who, in one OF the most
impressive aud effective speeches have
ever heard in a political convention, land
I have list ned with more or less patience
70 n GOOD deal of this kind of intellectual
gvmnastics) nominated Mr.. Faulkner.
Il was really splendid speech very
earnestly pronounced, and was listened
to throughout with a stiffness and atten-
ton that showed that it was having effect.
L. S. Johnson. Esq, of Taylor, spoke in
favor of Martin, and Hon. Jos. Sprigs in
favor of Faulkner Mr. Brown, Of Bar
bour, made brief but earnest speech IN
reply to Mr.. Sprigg, and in advocacy OF
VI. Martins nomination. The conven-
ton then shouted 'vOte, "votc, ana
amid the most intense excitement the
roll of counties was called, the several
votes being occasionally cheered by the
adhcrents of the respective candidate.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1874-08-22

The result was soon announced, Faux
ncr - 1850; Martin IS 1850. OF course
n tremendous shout followed the an
| nounccmcnt; hats were waved in the air
| and cheer after cheer went up from the
victorious delegates. In the middle of
the excitement Mr. Martin went
to the platform and beckoned to
| the crowd to hear him. Silence
was soon restored and he then
in IA very feeling and fcrvid manner,
moved that Mr.. Faulkncr's nomination
be made unanimous and pledged to the
nominee his most faithful services dur
ing the campaign. The cheering that
followed this graceful and magnanimOus
act was even louder and hcarticr than
that which followed Mr. Faulkner's nom-
nation, for in this the whole conven-
ton joined, and "Hurrah for Martin:
was shouted by two hundred manly
voices. Mr.. Martin sprang at once in
to the good graccs of all those who had
but few minutes before cast their votes
against him; thrill of admiration for
his manly act and patriotic determination
touched all hearts; and the most careless
observer could not fail to note that the
Faulkner delegates at once rendered him
homage as true hearted man.
Mr.. Faulkner then came forward and
accepted the nomination with many
thanks to his faithful and active friends,
and paid well merited tribute to the
ability and manhness Of his late oppo-
nent. This, too, was received with en-
thusiastic cheers and the Convention at
length adjourned, the delegates being
generally in a good humor with them
selves and all the world.
The campaign thus begins suspicious
". 1t is believed that the party di-
vision that had its origin two years ago
and showed its chief effect among the
people Of the Valley of the South Branch,
will be, during the present campaign
almost, if not quite, oblitcratcd and that
hcncctorth the Democratic hosts will
"march all one way" to certain and well
deserved victory. 90.
After the Convention there was a
general determination of the delegates,
and an excellent feeling seemed to pre-.
vail. \ jefferson county delegate said
to me that his only regret was that both
candidates could not be- nominated; and
Mr.. Martin 5 friends felt that his nomi-
nation and election was only postponed,
not denied and that he had won for HIM
self new title To their regard by his
generous conduct To- day.
The crowd in attendance at the Con-
vcntion has been simply immense. The
hotels were all filled on Wednesday even
ing. Accompanied by about fifty tired
and sleepy citizens | arrived at Pied
mont ut one o'clock Thursday morning,
and. no bed being attainublc, sat on the
porch of the Sims Pousc and took astro-
nomical observations between the toes OF
my boots until thcssun rose and the bell
rang for breakfast Forty-nine others,
more or tess, did likewise 1t was nc
fault of the landlord that he did not have
