bled at the Court House, Saturday at
2:SO P. NJ, in mass convention, for the
purpose OF appointing delegates to the
State and Congressional Conventions,
which meet in Parkersburg on the 9th
of this month.
After considerable changing of the
Court House bell, a crowd sufficient to
proceed with business was collected.
The time honored President and Secre-
tary, DR.. Logan and w. F. Peterson,
Esq, respectively were ignored this timer
andt here honorable positions were filled
by Capt. w. B. Curtis and Mr.. Abraham
Harris.
Mr.. Hastings moved that committee
be appointed, one from each district to
select delegates to the State Convention,
ten delegates from each district.
Frank johnson, the portly gentlemen
of the portoffice, said that it was desired
to get large number.
Mr.. Lucas moved to amend the motion
so, that five delegates from each district,
and fifty at large, be appointed. This
was carried.
Chancellor Kemple wanted the same
committee to select delegates to the Con-
gressional convention, but on motion
Of Mr.. Stanton, the delegates who were
appointed to the State convention were
selected to act in the same capacity as
Congressional delegates, which in other
words means the rendering OF the nom.
nation to Gen. Golf.

land; Capt. Mccoy, of Triadelphis, and

AS usual during the absence of the
committee, j. r. Hubbard WAS loudly
called for to make speech, which he
willingly consented TO do. We
might add by way of paren-
thical clause, he is willing to be Con-
gresham, or Sheriff of Ohio county. But
nevertheless he made good speech and
promised many things which Hayes
would perform in the way of reform
But then Hayes will fool 81. r." like
Grant did.
Chancellor Kenple then offered n reso.
luton lnstructing the delegates to the
State Convention to work for the abolish.

Captain Dovenor moved that any Re

adoption of the resolution.
The resolution as amended was lost by
a tie vote, and then vote was called fol
