THE RADICAL CONVENTION.

The Radical Congressional Convention for
this district, which met at Cranberry Summit
on Wednesday. from the description given by
''L." to the Wheeling Register, was pretty
lively affair. Forty-tvo delegates. white,
were present, and one black President.
Geo. N. Latham, of upshur, with j. W
Duffy, of hardy. as Vice; 8. D Butts. of
Jefferson. Secretary. After the prelimiuaries
OF organisation, Judge Hoke, of Mineral,
moved that the Convention adjourn without
Il Boteler for Congressman of this district
This motion was warmly advocated by Flick,
the author of FIick's amendment, Judge
Hoke and others. This led to almost an OUT
break by the friends Of the political trickster,
j. NJ Hagans,. and Geo. Koonce, of .Jetfer-
son, asserted that if this Convention adjourred
without making nomination, and recom-
mendiug the support of Botelor. he would
support Faulkner. Things began to warm
up at this juncture and looked like there
would be break up, Finally at this dead
lock of the loyal, Mr.. A. j. Stone, of Mari n,
came forward with substitute for the motion,
viz: That this convention adjourn without
making nomination and substitute the name
of W. T. Wiley for Boteler. The substitute,
after hot discussion, was adopted
Judge Hoke then submitted the following
resolution:
Resolued-That this Convention adjourn
without nomination. and iustructing the Re.
publicans of this District to vote for w. T.
Wiley.
This was carried by large majority. The
Convention was almost entirely without en-
thusiasm
A letter was read from Mr. Wiley. in which
he peremptOrily declined to accept the nomi-
nation, yet in the face of this. they recOm>
mend him as a substitute to the Republican
voters of this District. To sum up: Hagans
was repudiated. BOteler and Wiley were the
only names before the Convention, and Will
ley was chosen as q substitute for Boteler.-
TIE counties represented by delegates are
Hardy, Jefferson, Marion, Mineral, Mon
ongalia. Morgan, Preston, Taylor, Berkeley
and Upshur.
