OUR CONGRESSIONAL NOMINAL
TON,

Tho nomination of Judge John Blair
Hoge for Congress in this district is ono, We
take ii, that will meet with warm support.
The friends of Hon. B. F. Martin, Hon. D.
b. Lucas and Captain Bradford, each made
gallant fight, but were worsted, and will
abide the decision of the Convention and
support the nominee, whose triumphant cleo.
tion is assured. Tho friends of Mr.. Lncas
gave him square, solid support, through
seven successive ballots, and when the vorst
came to the worst, cast the die in favor of
Judge Hoge, as it was deemed that the
nomination was due to candidate east of
the mountains. As the friend of Mr.. Lucas
We cannot forbear mentioning and returning
thanks to those prominent friends in other
sections who took such an active par, and
laborsd SO assiduously to give him the nomi-
nation-the gallant Payne, of Preston: tho
old Democratic warriors, Kercheval and
Histt, of Hampshire; the whole>souled Ssr>
geant, of Barbour; and last, but not least.
the unfinching Osbourn, of Pocahontas who
from first to last, as the sole representative,
cast the six votes of his county solid for
Mr.. Lucas, and with the Lucas men voted
for and secured the nomination of Judge

were as untlnching in their devotion to JEFF
ier1on's FIRST choice, and in behalf of the
Jefferson delegation to Fairmont. wo return
thsm most hearty thanks, and ask. what VIC
are sure will be given, their cordial SUPPORT
