The total vote of the Convention is 1857

The total vote OF the convention is | 1857
and u majority, 7,679) elects, each delegate
casts his proportion Of his county or city
vote. If all the delegates who said are to be
in favor of Mr.. Harris, vote as claimed that
member will be renominated on the first
ballot. The names prominently before the
public during the canvass have been James
Bumgardner, Jr., of Augusta. James H.
Skinner of Augusta, Chas. O'Fsrrall of
Rockingham, S. V. Southall of Albemarle
and Harry Riddleberger of Shenandoah,
and the name of Moses Walton Of Shen-
| andOah, is also mentioned.
CANVASS NOTES.
| In the Rockingham election the Central
| iHarrisonburg) district was tie between
O'Ferran and Harris, 1877 votes each, so
! each candidate will get one delegate from
that district. Two of the Rockingham
districts, Lnville and Stonewall instructed
for O'Ferrall and the other two, Ashby
and Plains instructed for Harris. No man
could have showed greater activity than
Mr.. Harris.
Hon. VIM. Mines, Jr., is one of the dele
gates sent by the opposition from Page
county. No man, we think, could haye
showed greater activity than Mr.. Harris.
At the taking Of Bath county vote,
Messrs. Harris, Skinner, O'Ferrall and
Riddlebarger addressed the people, but no
man could have showed greater activity
than Mr.. Harris.
MI. Harris drove up from Harrisonburg
Sunday afternoon in d buggy, and took the
night express for Albemarle, to cross the
country to Fluvanna, where the primary
was held Monday. No man could possibly
have showed greater activity than Mr.
Harris.
MI. Harris, we are informed by those
who heard him at Bath, stated that Vice
President Hendricks took the salary GRAD.
The statement is not correct. MI. Hen
bricks was not @ member Of Congress at
the passage Of the salary grab, but was at
home as Governor of Indiana. The official
record OF the vote on the grab may be seen
at this office. Mr.. Hendricks was not even
amember in '73. Mr.. Harris showed grea-
ter activity than Mr.. Hendricks.
SPEAKING LAST NIGHT.
Last night there was music and some
speaking at the Virginia and American
Hotels. Mr.. Gray, Mr.. Splitter, Hon. B.
johnson Barbour, Coils. Skinner and

A SUCCESSFUL EXCURsIoN.-From all
appearances the active work put on the B /.

next Monday by Mr.. Chas. M. Gallaher
the agent, will be fully repaid by q large
number of eXcursionists. The fare is only
$11 and the tickets are good for 10 days.
The train leaves Staunton at 4:3O A. M .
and arrives in Philadelphia before dark
which is a great advantage. And another
great advantage is that the company have
made arrangements with hotel right at
the Centennial grounds, to board it's excur-
sionists at 1925 per day and they will be
taken to the door Of the hotel which saves
lots Of trouble.
