other Democrats were embarrassed.
They wanted TO retain the friendship of

Of the Republican resolution was

could bear. ttcr considerable quib

Democrats, their loyalty was found
boiled down in the following re solution

PouGHKEEpsiK, N. Y, August "a
In the free for all race to-day the start
ers were Goldsmith Maid, Smuggler,
Judge Fullerton, Lulu and Bodine. The
Maid two TO one against the field The
appearance OF all the horses was signal
for cheering. First horse, the Maid
had the pole, Smuggler second, Fuller
ton, third. Bodine fourth, Lulu outside.
Eleven scores and they got away, the
Maid leading round the turn, Smuggler
secoLd, Bodine third, Fullerton fourth,
Lulu breaking in going to the quarter.
The Maid dashed right away from all of
them, Smuggler and Fullerton both
breaking. At the quarter the Maid was
fourteen length ahead of BodIne, he
twenty lengths ahead of Smuggler, and
he ten lengths ahead of Fullerton. Going
down the back stretch Lulu broke badly.
The Maid passed the half mile ten lengths
in advance of Bodine, who was
twenty lengths in advance of Lulu,
she twenty lengths ahead of Smuggler,
and he five lengths ahead Of Fullerton.
At the three-quarter pole the Maid was
twenty-five lengths ahead of Bodine.
The Maid came down the home stretch
like lightning, going under the wire
twenty lengths ahead of Bodine in
2:16f.
In the second heat Bodine had two
lengths the best OF the start, and held it
going round the turn, the Maid
making two Of her peculiar breaks
between the turn and quarter pole,
and at the latter place Bodne
was length ahead. On the back stretch
the Maid closed up the gap, tapping
Bodine, but broke again and tell back a
length. Once more she closed up the
gap, and they passed the half-mile pole
neck and neck. Between the half and
three-quarter pole, the Maid skipped and
then showed to the front. Bodine, how
ever, hung on her wheel, the Maid break
ing just little, and they shot past the
three-quarter pole neck and neck.
Coming down the home stretch, the Maid
broke, and it really seemed as if Bodne
would win the heat, but the Maid made
tremendous burst OF speed, collared and
passed her antagonist, and won the heat
by two lengths in 2:lSf. While cheers
greeted her.
In the third heat they got the word
evenly, the Maid leading around the turn
and breaking, but shooting away from
Bodine. She WAS three lengths
ahead at the quarter pole, but broke
and lost two OF them. She held
the length ahead. At the three-tourths
pole she broke and lost two of them. She
held the length at the three.fourths pole,
and came in an easy winner of the heat
and race by eight lengths. Time 2:20.

Large and Harmonious Con-
vention.

mated for Congress.

tor.
KEYsER, August 9th


Special to the Register.
The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention tor the Second district
convened here to-day. Deep in
terest has been manifested.in the can.
vass for Congress in the district during
the entire summer. There were three
declared candidates for the place, and the
friends of each had been busy in talking
UP the merits and deserts OF their favor
ties. SO that until the gathering of the
clans last night and this morning, doubt
was telt us to the coming man.
Judge John Blair Hoge, a gentleman
of great popularity, ability and purity OF
character, was strongly supported in the
counties east of the mountains. Whilst
Hon. Thomas A. Bradford, of Barbour
county, was understood to have consid-
erable following. 1t WAS thought by
many that Mr.. Bradford would SO divide
the delegations west of the mountains as
to make a nomination on the first several
ballots impossible; and that, finally,
Mr.. Bradford's strength would COM
binc with that of Judge Hoge, and NOM
mate one or the other of them, leaving
Mr.. Martin to reflect, for the second
time, upon the "ingratltude OF Repub.
lies"
But when the day came and the De-
mocracy of the district me, face to face,
it was evident that the silent wish OF all
WAS to do justice to n wronged man.
On the assembling of the Convention
to day, w. l.. Wilson, of Jefferson
county, was elected to preside over its
deliberations, and A. Brooks Fleming
was made secretary.
After the usual preliminsries, Hon. b.
f. Martin, of Taylor county, was uDanl-
mously nominated, amid cheering and
great enthusiasm.
Hon. ID. b. Lucas, OF Jefferson county.
was subsequently, chosen rs District
Presidential Elector. The Convention
was large one, and was perfectly har-
mopious. w.

xow,KATION OF IL. =. MARTIN.

Tho Democrats Of the Second Con-
,os.;onsl District, held their Conven-
,iop Yesterday, at Keyser, and unani-
r,,u.lv nominated Hon. b. F. MAkTIN
FIR re election to the seat TO which the
people elected him four years ago. and
which WAS usurpcd, in defiance OF the
ps,ple's will, by aDother by the grace OF
rgy BrTLER. We do not often recog-
pize that a man has claim upon a party
for a high position, or can establish one
IN. Mr.. MARTIN came as near acquiring
q claim as man well can by virtue OF
his race four years ago. and the shabby
treatment bestowed upon him by BUT
IRIS Congress. And it was the wish of
the people to recognize that claim at the
succeeding election and reward it, but
,bair will was thwarted and another re-
csiyed the nomination. Justice comes
- Mr.. MARTIN at last, and comes with a
b,srtiness that goes far to make amends
jor the singular manner IN which he was
nut aside two years ago. The
will Of the people asserted itself
and MARTIN goes TO Congress to join, as
IN industrious, Intelligent, clean handed,
pare.hesrte1, and industrious co-laborer
in the great work of reform and de-
liyersnce.
We most heartily congratulate, not
only the man chosen but also the people
I, be served. Mr.. MARTIN will ever be
found ut his post engaged in an earnest
and honest endeavor to serve his people
and bis country.
