THE OLD CRY.
He was OF the opinion that this Gov

sharks, usurers, and shylocks for the
past twenty years, and that the people
enjoyed no more liberty than the mean.
est and lowest orders OF society in mon
archy. He charged the Republican party
with having attempted to not only vitality
stab our constitutional liberties, but to
destroy the Government itself. He eulo-
gized Hancock to the skies. When he
mentioned his name for the first time ut
the end OF grandiloquent sentence not
little OF applause greeted it.
DID lie, NOW!
He said that military man was pecu-
liarly fitted for the discharge OF the duties
OF the Chief Magistracy Of this great
nation. lie referred TO Jackson, Taylor,
Harrison and other military Presidents to
show that the people had always preferred
the warriors, and that they would honor
Hancock on account OF his soldier services.
A SUPERIOR ATTRACTION.
The band wagon OF the circus passed
about this time aud large portion OF the
crowd followed it OF.
Faulkner's speech was an utter failure,
and he will feel the effects oi 1t at Martins
burg.
A REBEL YELL.
Jacob B. Jackson was the next orator.
He evidently thought he was haranging
Rebel mob from 3iIe~ character OF his
speech. lie was not far wrong in this,
yet many Western end Democrats were
disguised. He dealt principally on Gar
fields connection with the Electoral Com
mission, and spoke Of him sneeringly as
j. Abraham Garfield, the educated and
cultured.
JACOB, you NAUGHTY MAN.
jacobs bad grammar added very little
to this style OF attack. He howled him
self hoarse. He said he hated the Republi-
can party with never dying hatred, and
he remarked that he had lived and would
die hating 1t.
This speech is too valuable to lose and
we promise an extended account OF it
tomorrow.
CONVENTION REAssEMBLEs.
After dinner the convention reassem-
bled and the committees reported. The
temporary was made the permanent Or

speech on taking the chair OF congrat-

hoped they would stay. A batch OF res

representation calculated from Tilden's
vote in 1876.
THE NOMINATIONS.

name OF John Blair Hoge, in good
speech.
John B. Payne, OF Preston, named Dam
lei B. Lucas. During the applause that
followed, the presentation OF Lucas name,
a tipsy delegate from Monongalia county,
got under the impression that he was
chairman Of the Convention and attempt
ed to regulate things. Order being re-
stored, Fountalne Smith took the platform
to nominate Benjamin F. Martin. He
started out beautifully, but an unfortunate
remark in regard to the greed OF the east
ern Democracy for office, bronghta
STORM OF GRoANs AND Kisses
That lasted FIVE minutes, At this point
the fun began. A delegate yelled "how
long have had Judge Haymond2" - :
Smith retorted; "You have nearly al
the offices, and now you wanta Supreme
Judge" .
Then the yelling began in earnest and
and perfect pandemOnium prevailed. The
unfortunate orator refused TO proceed fol
some time. lie finally got under way ant
managed 10 finish, amid Ieers, cat calls
and a general uproar.
