CRANBERRY SUMMIT, September 9.
The Radical Congressional Convention
met at Cranberry to-day, for the nom
mating of a candidate to represent this
district. Forty-two delegates, white,
were present, and one black. President,
Geo. n. Latham, of Upshur, with j. W.
Duffy, of Hardy, as Vice; S. D. Butts, Of
Jefferson, Secretary. After the pre-
liminaries of organization, Judge Hoke,
of Mineral, moved that the Convention
adjourn without nomination, and re-
commended Alexander K. Boteler for
Congressman of this district. This mo-
ton was warmly advocated by Flick,
the author of Flick's amendment, Judge
Hoke and others. This led to almost an
outbreak by the friends of the political
trickster, J. NJ. Hagans, and Geo. Koonce,
Of Jefferson, asserted that if this Conven-
tion adjourned without making nomi-
nation, and recommending the support
of Boteler, he would support Faulkner.
Things began to warm up at this june
ture and looked like there would be II
break up. Finally at this dead lock of
the loyal, Mr.. A. j. Stone, Of Marion,
came forward with substitute for the
motion, viz: That this convention adjourn
without making a nomination and sub
stitute the name of w. II. Wiley for
Boteler. The substitute, after hot dis
oussion, was adopted.
Judge Hoke then submitted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolred-That this Convention ad-
journ without a nomination, and in
structing the Republicans ofthis District
to vote for w. I. Wiley.
This was carried by a large majority.
The Convention was almost entirely
without enthusiasm.
A letter was read from Mr.. Wiley, in
which he peremptorily declined to ac-
cept the nomination, yet in the face Of
s,they recommend him as 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 Wiley was
chosen as substitute for Boteler. The
counties represented by delegates are
Hardy, Jefferson, Marion, Mineral, Mon
ongalia, Morgon, Preston, Taylor, Ber-
kelley and Upshur. The counties in
this district will give five thousand ma
iority for Faulkner. Yours, L.

be a candidate, he should have Withdrawn
his name before the convention, but As
the convention was fairly conducted and
he received nearly a unanimous nom
ination, he supposed the contest was end
ed. He denies emphaticslly the use OF
improper influences to secure an election,
and saws that his course upon the matter
stigmatized as sslary-grabblng Credit

ging. that will bear the closest scrutiny,
and has no desire to change it. He
refers to his barbarious career in Con-

his integrity, would give him great pain.
he expresses his gratitude for lorg and
continued favors, and the confidence eI-
hibited BY the people ofthe District, and
if that confidence is no longer felt he has

be- the man whom the party would pit
against Mr.. FAULKNER. He managed
matters in such It peculiarly Radical
style br.o-c, that it was generally
conceded he would be again al
lowed to try his hand at political
manocuvcring. But he was ignominious-
" cast aside. \ proposition to support
the model Independent of the district
lIhr second, was the signal for general
uprour. and finally, to settle matters, it
was agreed to instruct the party to sup
port WAITMAS T. WILEY, Esq, not
withstauding that this gentleman most
positively declined being humiliated by
defeat
Upon the whole, Radical affairs in the
Second district, seem to be pretty con-
,idcrsbly complicated.
