Convention Notes.
BY OUR REPORTER


No county was anrepresented, but
some are said to have been badly
anisrepresented.
Ex-senator Caldwell was consider
ed the handsomestan and wittiest mem.
Der of the body.
The Tomahawk cornet band gave
us some fine music for which they
deserve our thanks.
j. j. Davis as temporary chair
man and Dan Johnson as permanent
president, acquitted themselves to
the satisfaction of all present.
The decoration and arrangement
Of Floral Hall elected frequent CON-
mendation from the members during
the session of the body.
Ex-Mayor Jeffers sustained sc.
we're sprain in his right foot on one
of our irregular pavements, from
which we hope he has fully re-
covered.
4 Mcdowell county is said to have
been for the first time represented in
State Convention, and certainly a
more perfect gentleman than Colonel
Hartman could not have been sent
from any county.
The solid vote of Hardy for Mr..
Jeffers, of Wheeling, elected much
remark among the delegates east OF
the Alleghanies. 1t was said to be
merely complimentary, but that did
not seem to satisfy Mr.. Faulkner's
friends.
EX-Speaker Gibson was regarded
as the most pointed and vigorous;
Senator Dennis as the most fluent
and persuasive; VIM. l.. Wilson as
the most chaste and eloquent, and
General Price, of Marshall, as the
most empty and unmeaning OF the
speakers in the convention.
Mr.. Faulkner was in bed quietly
enjoying his ordinary sleep when the
result of the nomination for Gov
ernor was announced to him by q
friend about II o'clock at night. He
said, 81 am more than satisfied. II
relieves me from heavy burden. !
shall now feel that l am free man
for the next four years of my life,' u
and with that passed into happy for
getfulness of all that was doing in
the convention.

He Ay0W5 HIS BELIEF IN THE
THOROUGH INTEGRITY IN THE
LATTER.
Mr.. Henry Watterson wrote n
letter to the chairman of the COM
mittee of arrangements of the
Democratic ratification meeting at
New York last week in which be
says:
sit is not necessary that we
should stigmatise the person of
the Republican nominee for Pres
ident to show his unfitness to fill
adequately and acceptably, the of
flee of chief magistrate. / know
him well, and can declare, with
Judge Black, never did so good a
man make so bad a politician. In
saying this I give emphasis and
force to the real objection which
ought to be urged against his cleo
ton because, in spite of his many
excellences Of character, command
ing the regard of those who know
him, he is, OF all men, best suited
TO continue the baleful influence
OF his party, and to carry forward
the wicked designs ofits leaders.
A very worthy man In his private
life may be most pernicious pub
lie character and history presents
many Notifications of the reverse
OF the proposition. The time has
come when parties can afford to
plant themselves upon facts, and /
am not willing to admit that our
candidates for president are or
ever have been systematically
chosen from the worst classes.
If 1t were 30, I should de-
spair of my country, and
leave 10 Others the dredging and
defilment of partisan discussion,
which is profitable in proportion
as it is clean. Conceding, there
fore, all the Republicans claim for
their nominee, it occurs to me that
they do but bring into holder relief
and contra their own misdoing;
since the party must be sinister in
the last degree which can seduce
such man to take SO loose a view
of his public obligation, and to
perform, In his own person, such
mental service In the cause of
transparent wrong; by his consis-
sent and able support of all the
crimes and errors of the Grant adj
minisiration, and by his participa-
ton in the race of the presidency,
first as q conspirator in Louisiana.
and second as a false judge upon
the bench of the Electoral Commits
sion. The truth is General Gar
field, though a kindly man anda
man, az / am persuaded, who
would not do q dishonest thing for
his own sake or its own sake, is as
a partisan, of piece withhis party
and for the reason that he, not
without neither intellect nor
virtue, but largely possessed of
both, is he the more capable of
exploits in its interest,"

E. WILLIS WILSON, Esq, a dis
tinguished opponent of Mr.. Faulk-
ner's in our late State Convention,
publicly bore evidence in Charles
town of the conduct of his friends
by the remark, cit must be admitted
that Mr.. Faulkner comes out of that
convention with clean hands, There
was no trading, no traflicing, no
bulldozing on his part or his friends
all was fair and above board" \.
We imagine Mr.. Wilson was in a
position to know the workings of
both sides in the contest, and his re-
mark is suggestive.
