There being no choice, the name Of Mr..
Moncure was dropped, and the roll ordered
to he called for another ballot.
The friends Of Judge Clopton ut this
point asked and obtained leave to retire for
a shoIt while for consultation.
When the Convention again came TO or
der and Caroline was called, Mr.. Washing
ton asked and obtained leave TO make few
remarks. finish his speech" He said that
neither he nor his friends had any Jealousy
in this matter. That no delegate in this

As the representative OF Caroline county,
and at the instruction OF her delegates, he

announcement, a. it ensured the nomi-
nation Of Captain Wise. His friends

now seemed raised TO the highest pitch,
was still further increased II possible
by the announcement OF Mr. Jones, OF
Louisa, that the friend, OF Mr. Winston bad

dissenting voice that the vote be made unan-

Lovens:ein. John Washington, u. ;. Wool
bridge, George p. llaw, Joseph Bryan, D..
l.. Jones, and DR.. a. :. McRae: who soon
after appeared, bringing Captain Wise with
them.
Captain Wise was introduced by Mr.
Lovenstein to the CHAIRMAN, who intro
duced him 70 the Convention. In few
stirring words he accepted the nomination.
He had full sense Of the responsibilities
involved. but he would bear the standard
OF the party. as he believed, to victory. 1t
was an honor to get the nomination over
such names as those which had been pre-
sented TO this Convention. But we have a
work to perform. 1t would be a burning
shame for VirginianS n0ic TO be recreant to
their duty. lie had waqed no war upon
any candidate who was before them, and
no unkind word had been uttered by him
against any one. tie had no word OF re-
prOach for the rank and file Of those who
differed with him on local issues. but for
the vile and selfish leaders who had only
their own ends to crafty he had no senti-
ment but that OF contempt and would fight
them TO the death. Virginia has always
answered r0ll.call on the Democratic side,
and from the spirit which be saw in this as
Semhlaoo he had 70 reason 10 believe that

efforts in the cause, and said that where the
fighting was hardest and the bullets fell
the ihickes. he would be found doing duty
with the brayest and best.
The Convention then (at 3 p. NJ ad-
iourned sine die.
The whole proceedings Of the Conyon-
ton were marked by harmony and good feel
ing. and entire acquleseence in the result.

THE NOSNEE.
CAPTAIN George ID. Wise is too well
known to require al extended notice at oui
hands. As the faithful and yigilant Com
monweallh's Attorney OF this city for year'
past he has become known to every citizen
of Richmond, and as popular an effective
Conservative leader TO every man in the
district. Talented, courteous, and fearless
he will make vigorous canvass; and when
he takes his seat in Congress on the 4ih OF
March, 1881, will prove rs faithful and as
capabIe a representative as the metrOpoli-
tan district Of the Ola Dominion has ever
bOasted.
