Editors Of tho Intelligeneer:
On yesterday the unterriHed Democracy
OF the Second Senatorial District, com.
prising the counties Of Marshall, WetZe
and Marion, met in Convention at thi!
place for the purpose OF nominating 6
candidate to succeed the late Senator Hal
In the next Legislature Of West Virginia
At about II A. N, the traps were laid and
the Marion county delegates retired 10 the
School House 10 count noses and obtair
pledges from the weaker candidates thai
they would support the majority candi-
date Of Marion. Soon after they assem-
bled, however, mice was smelt and Ia
less time than 1t takes to put this on paper
TIE CAUCUS BLEw UP.
Iu consequence Of this explosion every.
thing was IN state OF suspense
until near three o'clock, at which time
the delegation from the eastern part Of the
county and also from Weizel and Mar
shall put in an appearance, and along with
them the Hon. q. ]. Faulkner and the old
Flint Lock Senator from Harrison. The
Republican brass band met them at the
depot and escorted them 10 tho U. 3.
Hotel. There was q slight halt by the
way, consultation, or something Of the
sort, and the band struck up an inspirtiDg
air, whereupon the procession moved
towards the school house, and there went
into Committee OF the Whole on the
State OF the Diocese.
Mr. NEWMAN, OF wRTzEL,
was made chairman, and G. E. Wells, Of
Marion, Secretary. A Committee on Gre.
dentials and Representation was appoint
cd, and the Convention took recess Of
ten minutes pending ltS report. Mean
while it was announced by some one that
old Flint Lock was here to speak his
speech, whereupOp there were calls for
the venerable fossil to come forward and
be heard. But he apologized by saying
that he preferred TO shoot his gun
out Of doors. The apology was
sCquiesced in, and the Committee
on Credentials and Representation ap'
peared and made their report. Alter
some sparrlng backward and forward
between two or three mem
bers, Mr.. ]. W. Galliher, Of Marshall,
arose and put 10 nomination for Senator
Mr.. U. N. Arnett, Of Marion. This nomi.
nation was followed by Mr.. Enoch Hess,
who named VIM. B. Ice, also Of Marion.
This again was followed by DR.. F. Il.
Rymer, who announced Z q. Snodgrass,
OF Marion. Somebody followed this up
by nominating James Morrow, jr., Of
Fairmont. This last announcement clos.
ed the list Of nominations. Speeches then
followed on behalf oi the various nomi.
nees by their friends, at the close OF
which MIR. John BarrAck arose and stated
that from what had been seen at the caucus
and elsewhere during the day, it looked
as II something was rotten in Denmark,
and he was therefore authorized 10 with.
draw from this Convention the name Of
Capt. VIM. B. Ice. Mr.. Barrack followed
this announcement with a speech, in
which he,reierred at some length 10 the
records OF several Of the candidates. He
scratched and tore up things in wild
sort Of way. Finally he announced that
the friends of Capt. Ice had concluded to
withdraw from the Convention, which
withdrawal carried out the entire vote o!
Welzel county.
THE REMAINING VOTE
was then called, and U. N. Arnett received
the nomination. General confusion set in
and boilers began TO appear upon the
scene for the House Of Delegates and also
for the Senate. The Convention
adjourned and the scattered del
egates retired 10 the U. 8. Hotel
There the Hon. 9. J. Faulkner, their
candidate for Congress, came forward and
delivered a speech. he told them many
things about what the Civil Rights Bill is
doing in the South and the Democracy
swallowed 1t all down as 80 much gospel
except that sensible wing known al
Jacob Democrats. Mr.. Faulkner did moi
tell his hearers that the Civil Rights bill
was not law Of the land, but lett then
under the impression that it was. AnC
yet the bill was the burden Of his speech
He talked also somewhat about Hsrper'l
Ferry and tho Monongahela river i'm
provement,
JUDGE CAMDEN WINDS UP THE PERFORM
ANCR.
After Mr.. Faulkner had finished hi!
speech, the venerable flint.lock took thu
stand, and in less than ten MINUTES thert
were only about fifteen listeners and al
old wagon left in front OF him. 30 l an
told; / did not remain 10 hear hin
through. STo this select audience he dis
coursed short time in very low tone
voice, Tor he discovered DR.. Jesse Flower
ian independently just in trout Of him
who had been in the Legislature and wa
posted, and the result was that the Vener
able relic had to 60 straight, which wa
a way he wasn't used TO travelling, and |
worried him. He had something to ssy
about Gov. Jacob las matter Of Coursc)
but, as l said, it was delivered soto o0cG
so much 60 that as passed along within
thirty feet Of him l couldn't make ou
what he was saying. Not wishing to in
trude on what seemed TO be q private ant
confidential conversation with a ieV
