STATE CONVENTION.

Gen. Sprigg. Of Hardy. atthe State Con.
vention held in Mar,insburg. last week
reported the following rs the Platform.
L. The Democratic party in conveu-
ton assembled, heartily endorses and
approves The. platform and principles
adopted by tho National Democratic
Convention, and reaffirms its allegiance
to the tirne-honored principles OF the
party.
2. We recognizes with pleasure the a.
deity OF the various officials OF thu
State in the administration Of the duties
and trust imposed in them by the law.
an6 with prida point 10 the peace. quiet
and general prosperity of tho State -
Tho promptness with which the public
revenues have been collected ani paid
into the treasury, the economy and Of
iciorcy with which our public ins,itu-
tons hayc been managed are some OF
the reasons why Democratic rule should
be continued in West Virginia
8. Mindful OF the traditions of the
party and Ito danger TO DO apprehonded
from the growing power aud infueuco
OF monopo!ies, We declare that the Dem.
ocrstic party is now, as it has ever been,
the friend of the people and tho foo of
all monopolies; that we are opposed TO
any system OF legislation that tends To
foster the power of such monopolies, aud
particularly 10 that species OF legisla-
ton that discriminates in favor of rail
road corporations and against the peo-
ple.
4. We recognize the proposed amend.
men,s u the Constitution rs presenting
questions above and outside of party
politics, and therefore remit them 10 the
unbiased judgment Of the people.
The following additional resolutions
were also reported by the Committee:
Rssotcei. That we regard the practice
OF accrcditing any Democrats who may
| be present at conventions as delegates,
as heretofore, as opening the door TO
| fraud and unfairness, and method
which is corrupt and corrupting, and
recommend the State Executive Com
mittee TO take stops 10 prevent the same
in the future.
Resolved, That in the opinion OF this
| convention, the practice so common in
the State whereby county delegates TO
State and district conventions are in-
structed TO cast the votes Of the county
| for particular candidates, is open TO
many serious objections in that il gives
! rise % fraud aud unfair dealing; 20
conventions packed in the interest OF
particular parties; deprives opposing
candidates OF tho represent atiyes TO
! which they would be otherwise entitled (;
PRODUCES complaint and dissatisfaction,
disorgenises the party and tends TO the
defeat Of its cand idates, that VIC condem
this practice as being of war with the

the Democratic party and should be dis

at heart.

WASHING BUTTEn.-A few years ago
IN earnest controversy was carried on as
to whether butter should be washed or
unwGshed, those advocating thc latter
claiming Jhat by pressing or working out
the butteruiilk without the aid OF water
IT served to retain more of the aroma
and delicious favor naturally belonging
to butter, and which should not be re-
moved by allowing the butter to come in
contact with water.

From our special correspondent "H."l
at recent meeting of the citizens of the

tie building to cost NOT over 81 $780, and the up

which we are badly in need of, as the "old

and Town Hall. A committee was appointed
to see about purchasing lot.
A great many complain of the town lots being
too high priced, which is true.

INJUSTICE roA Son OF OLD AUGUsTA.-Mr.
c. OFT. native of and former resident Of this
county has been residing in Alabama for sew
eral years past, and he is now candidate for
the Office OF Clerk of the Circuit Court Of Lau-
derdale county, Alabama. In canvassing for
this ONCE his opponents have falsely, and we
have no doubt maliciously circulated the report
that Mr. OFT lost his arm in the Yankee army
instead of the Confederate service. We know
whereof we speak. and it gives us great plea
sure to vindicate a worthy son of Old Augusta
from this false charge. Mr.. OFT was born and
raised in Augusta county, and entered the Con
fsderate service when he was quite young, as a
member of Company F. 9Th Virginia Regiment
Capt. P. E. Wilson. He was a gallant soldier
and lost his arm at the battle OF Monocacy, Nd,
on the 9th Of July, 1864. He came out of the wal
with but one arm, no education, no money,
and no connections or friends to look toifor as
sistance. Under these trying circumstances,
with his indomitable will and energy. he work.
ed his way up, educating and fitting himself for
almost any position in the higher ranks of life.
He has filled positions of honor, and trust with
distinction and credit. and we have no hesita-
ton in recommending him for the place he is
now seeking. In further proof of what we say
we append the following from some Of his COM
manding officers and comrades in arms:-
We, members of the Old Stonewall Brigade do
certify that ]. c. OFT, who is now residing al
Florence, Alabama, was Confederate soldier
