Second District.

We publish this week call for re-
publican district convention, to nominate
candidate for Congress. The Conven-
ton is to be held at White River juno
ton on Wednesday, August 18th, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
A few weeks since we published COM
ments, opinions and speculations on this
subject from several papers in this dis
,rict. They included we think nearly
all that has been said on the matter in
the newspapers, with the exception of an
editorial from the Woodstock Post which
has appeared since and which is friendly
to the reelection of Judge Poland.
Some time ago it was assumed in some
quarters that Orange and Caledonian
counties would be nearly or quite unani-
nous in favor Of new man, and that
man was Col. John b. Mead of Ran
dolph. In such an event this end of the
district would very naturally feel
special interest and certainly would be
excused for claiming and presenting the
g" new mar" themselves. If Orange
County could present man who would
at once rank up even or above Judge
Poland, there might be some reason for
nominating new man from county
which has had either U. S. Senator or
representative in Congress for nearly the
past quarter of century, but as no such
contingency is offered we think it not
unreasonable that a neao nomination
should be conceded to this part of the
district. There are one or two names
whom we could support with pleasure,
and while we could not claim for them
any such position and influence as that
of the present incumbent, they are men
Of strict integrity, and we believe would
soon take good rank in Congress as prac-
teal legislators and prove credit to the
district and the State.
But as there appears no present prob
ability that new man will be called
for, this is all the space we propose to
give to this point. Our purpose in re-
ferring to it at all is, that in the possible
contingency of a new nomination being
made, it should be given to this section
of the district.
We are glad to believe that we are
not to have any contention like that of
two years ago. The present outlook
points to to the nomination of Judge
Poland. There is no such unanimity for
Col. Mead in the upper counties as has
been claimed. Many of those prominent
in opposition to Judge Poland in 1875
now favor his nomination, while in this
section We hear of no opposition likely
to assume form beyond what we have
indicated above, in case of new nomi
nation.
Such appears to us to be the situation
The denomination of Judge Poland will
continue in Congress one whose strength
and influence there has even been aug
nented during the past two sessions
having been appointed on one or two i'm
portant special committees, and taken
an active part in the deliberations and
important proceedings, besides having
closed an important work in consolidat
ing the U. S. statutes, for which he ha
received special credit throughout tn,
country. 1t is therefore safe to ASSUME
that Judge Poland, if reelected. will
continue to represent our district and tn
State with the same distinguished abilit.
that has characterized his entire servic
in Congress.

Hon.L.Proctor Knott.

OF less than medium height, timely built
and weighing not more than a hundred
pounds, he appears to be about forty five
wears of age. His face is clean shayen,
with the exception ola bristling moustache
of silver gray; his eyes are not full, but
sparkle with animation, and he can tell the
funniest story in the world without the
semblanee of smile. When he is in
dulging in that wonderful vein of sarcasm
TO which he owes his national reputation,
one would never Imagine from his manner,
that he was usuing language, every word
ofwhich cuts like blade of damascus steel.
In speaking, his manner is quiet and
selfpOsSessed, his enunciation remarkably
clear and distinct, making a personal friend
Of the reporter who is to ''take him." at
the outset, and his language is unexcep-
tionable. In closing his speech Thursday
night, he addressed himself to the ladies,
made graceful allusiOn to the question of
swoman's rights" and by his gentlemanly,
courteous manner took a high place in
their regards at once. He was dressed on
that evening in dark suit Of clothes, with
sWallow-tail coat, and with his neat, trim
figure, presented very dapper appearance
indeed.

you?" inquired the writer of an individual
whom he overlook Thursday night, in re-
turning from the speaking, and who was
INDUCING in a perfect parOxysm of half
smothered laughter, slapping his hand
down on his thigh and performing other
vaga-ies Of similar nature.
"He looked like one of these yer patent
candy men, responded this eccentric in
dividRal, going OF in another spasm of
laughter.
"NNho in the world are you talking
abOut?" was the next inquiry, as the writer
gazed upon the mans demonstrations.
