The following is the text ofaspcech
delivered by Hon. Frank Hereford,
pending the passage of the bill, de-
livcrod in the House, June 18th, 1t
will be read with interest by all who
rejoice in the Kapawha River i'm
proycment and it shows, that Mr.,
Hereford, is alive now, as he has
ever been to the interests of our Dis.
trict, and wearo surprised, under the
circumstances that there should be
the least opposition to returning him
to Congress:
The SPEAKER pro tcmpore, The
gentleman from West Virginia has
the floor and will proceed.
Mr.. HEREFORD. To answer more
fully my friend from Ohio, MIR. Eos
ter, before taking up the thread
of the remarks Twas about to make,
II will say that the river and harbor
bill, which | had the honor to report,
and for which the gentleman him
self voted, not only was 100000 less
than the appropriations of the pre-
ccding session, but the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Secretary of
War over $S,O00,0O0 less than was
asked for by the Administration, as
the gentleman will find by turning
to the Book of Estimates, on page 1876.
So much, then, Mr. Speaker, for the
river and harbor bill
Now, with the permission of my
friends ON the other side of the House,
if they will give me their attention
for Il few minutes, | will try to tell
them why it is that the people of the
United States are holding the party
in power to such strict accountable
ty 1t is this; When you turn to the
report Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury you find that on the LIST of July,
1866, the public debt of the United
States had reached the highest figure,
and was thcn 82,77323G,l75, Since
that period what has been drawn
from the people of the UnitodSJates2
lfyou turn to the reports Of the Soc
rotary Of The Treasury, you will find
that since 1866 to the present timo
you have collected from the people

REPUHSAaCAN COUNTY, NOM.
MATING CONVENTION.

Pursuant to call convention met
in the Court room at 10 A. NJ. Sat
urday, July 1st The attendance
was large, the delegations intelligent
but very reticent. The amount of
speaking ability about the usual av-
cragc in such bodies. Harmony and
good order prevailed throughout their
deliberations, yet when it adjourned
considerable feeling was manifested
by not few, at the ticket nomina-
ted, and at the speech of their per-
manent Chairman, Mr.. Moredock,
whom they roundly denounced inno
very chastc language. We give 4
synopsis of Mr., Morcdock's speech in
the proceedings that below follow.
Mr.. NIorcdock's political knowl-
edge is fully equal to his historical
learning, To state that Point Pleas
ant had a thousand inhabitants one
hundred years ago, was about as true
as his statement in regard to rings,
and cliques. We do not remember
but one ring that was ever formed in
Mason county, and that was u scheme
concoctcd in dark, private Office in
this place, when the Peoples" party
was manufactured, and when Mr..
Morcdock was one of the five or six
ring masters, and helped to put him
self on tho track to run for Delegate
to the Constitutional Convention,
and at the same time expressed a
willingness to accept the Democratic
nomination for the same position
But Notwithstanding he was the
peoples (2) candidate, he was ropu-
dated at the polls by them, and had
TO stay at home.
According to Mr. Morcdock's own
testimony he has been publiclykick-
ed out Of all partics--thc Republican,
Democratic, Independent and PEG.
Pies, and would have been kicked
out of other parties, had there been
any more, and was not on The high
road until he was again picked up
by the Republicans, aud made their
enthusiastic Chairman. But even
here he had to SOW tho seeds Of dis.
cord, which took deep root and is
manilestin2 itself since the adjourn
mcnt Of the Conventions And he
was not 80 certain Of mCirying or vo-
ting for the nominees he might help
to make, but as usual, left himself
room to go over, in o few years to
some other party

The Republican party makes the
error of supposing that the present
campaign is to be decided on the
strength of the amiable virtues Of
the candidates. Not at all, This
campaign is to turn upon the capac-
ity and courage of the candidates
with regard to the work before them.
There are many millions of people
in these United States Of unsullied
regulations. If that was the only
requisite for the Presidency, we
might select hundred thousand of
the ablest of them, and draw for
their names by lot, with entire as,
surance that any one of them would
make as good Il President as Hayes,
What the people want is President
who win make short work with the
abominable system which exists,
with oppressive power, and plumbers
with astonishing cupldltY IN the
seats of government. 10 do this re-
quires something more than honesty.
1t requires an iron will, great cour-
age, and knowledge of the way to do
it. In addition to all this, it is in
disponsible that the man who is Sc
lected for this work shall be under
no obligation to the administration
whose works he is to destroy. lt.,,iAa
absurd to suppose that Hayes will
enter the White House amid the ap.
plause of the very men the people
detest, and become the avenger of
the Republic upon them. Not bit
of it. 1t is absolutely certain that
the next President must be elected
in spite of the administration if he
is to eXtirpate its abuses. Hence no
man who is sincerely opposed to
Grantism can cooperate with Grant
in the selection Of his SUCCESSOR
Register.

Democratic and Conservative
Convention for the 3D. Congress-
iOnal District.

Pursuant to previous notice, a meeting
OF the Democratic Executive Committee,
for the Sd Congressional District, was held
ut the Hale House in the city of Charleston,
on Thursday, April 9Th 1876. On motion,
the following resolution was adopted:
Resoired, That Convention for the pur.
pose OF nominating Democratic candidate
TO represent the 81 Congressional District,
in the House OF Representatives OF the 4jtn
Congress OF the United States, be called to
meet in the city OF Charleston, on Wcdnes-
day, August 9, 1876.
In accordance with the action OF said

tive voters OF the Sd Congressional District,
are requested TO meet aud select delegates
10 represent them in the Convention to be
held for the purpose and at the time and
place aforesaid.

The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1876-07-06

The financial plank of the Repub-
lican platform is made of rather soft
material, and is so thin that a keen
eye can see straight through it.
The resolution declares that the
pledge given by Congress seven years
ago, to make provision at the earliest
practicable period for tho resumption
of the United States notes in coin,
ought to be fulfilled by a continuous
and steady progress toward specie
payment; ycteyerybody knows that
Congress has taken no practical steps
for the hltllment of this pledge 1t
has passed an act fixing the day of
resumption at Jan. /, 1879, but has
not devised the machinery absolute
ly necessary to accomplish that OBJ
ject
When the bill'was before the SEM
ate, Mr., Thurman, Mr.. Schurz and
others denounced it as u mere dclus-
ion intended to aid the Republicans,
in tiding over the cSigcncies of tho
acknowledgements and the Gin
cinnati resolution does not help the
matter at all. When the time nam
cd by Congress comes along, all that
the Government has to do is to neg
lcct to pay its notes in coin, just
asit does to-day and just as it has
been doing ever since they were is
sued.-StatCSmQn

In fact Mr.. Moredock has gone SO
far in politics that there is only one
thing that can save him, and that is
salt, and that won't save him unless
he sticks close to it.
Their temporary chairman, Mr., Bum
garner, like their permanent chair
man, has been on every side of eve
ry political question, and both Of
whom have held Offices in both po-
litical parties; and as to Mr., Lewis
Bumgarner, Notwithstanding his bold
declarations in taking his seat as
temporary chairman, knowing the
man as we do, we assert that if a
Democratic nomination were tender
ed him, he would accept it, This
has been the history of the man for
the past twenty years, and he has
never rcfuseda nomination for office,
no matter what party offered it to
him.
The ticket nominated, with one OF
two exceptions, lisa very good one,
but lacks popularity with the ,pco-
pie, and we believe will be easily
beaten, We hardly think the people
of Mason county are yet ready to
turn the county over to the control
of the men who a few short years
ago prescribed every man who would
not vote the Republican ticket. The
days of Registrars are not yet forgot
ten. The bloody-shirt was Haunted
in the Convention, and with this
they go before the people, appealing
to all the bitter passions and preju-
dices of a war that ended twelve
years ago.
We have not time to comment as
we would like TO do, but will do SO at
another time. Below is the pro,
ccedings in full:

date if he resigned his present ofRoo,
that sharp politician shut up one
ose, and winking rapidly with the

The assumption that Hayes has
rover been beaten is a false one. In
| 1872 he ran for Congress in Cincin-
natl against Gen, II B. Banning
The vote stood; Hayes. 95S2; Banning,
1904; Banning's majority, 1902
Two years before that Stevenson, Re
publican, carried the district by Il

The indianapolis Sm, is the organ
of the Independent Groenback par
ty. The Sun is against Governor
Hayes, and says "the starving min
ers whom he compelled to submit to
starvation, at the point of the bayo-
net" will not vote for him.
Hayes and Wheeler are both sala-
ry-grabbers-tho former under the
act passed when he was in Congress,
and the latter under the late in(am-
Gus measure.
The Republican newspapers are
trying to make a record for Hayes
Butthey cannot make one for him as a
Reformer. Yet such u record is pro
nounced indispensable to success, by
Reform Republicans. How, then,
can they support him? No sincere
Reformer will do so.

Sheridan, Grants instrument in
overthrowing free government, was
greatly reioiccd when he hcardo of the
nomination of Hayes. So were all
tyrants. But patriotic soldiers, who
revere the maxims of Washington
and Jackson, momneI that the buy
onet was still triumphant.
The cry of Hayes and Reform on
the part of the Republicans, reminds
us of the man with the fouracos laid
away on his knee at poker, oxclaim-
ing, "thcrc is cheating about this
