Special dispatches to TIE TRIBUNE from

crew describes how the steamer was
dashed about by the waves and how the
boats were capsized as soon as they were
lowered An interesting account is given by Mr..
Owen. The news received at the company's
Office in this city was meagre and unsatIsfac-
tory. There were twenty-eight passengers on
board, and the crew and officers numbered
forty-nine. The names of only seven persons
known to be saved have been received by the
owners of the vessel, but the dispatches indl-
cate that more may have escaped.
The reports from FLORIDA indicate that
the disasters to shipping were extensive.

THE CINCINNATI NOMINEES,

General Winfield s. Hancock was nom.
mated for President by convention at Gins
clnnati on the second ballot A motion to
make the choice unanimous was carried with>
out dissenting vote. VIM. II. English, of
Indiana, was then put in nomination for the
second place on the ticket, and nominated
by reclamation. Hurrah for the democracy.
The result of this wise conclusion of our
delegates must undoubtedly and inevitably
be success in November next. When we
glance at tho list of intellectual masuates
whose names were presented to the Democ-
racy of tho country, a perfect galaxy of states
men, we might well conclude that VIC would
be sure to win with any of them as our
standard bearer in the coming campaign, but
If there is one man more than another who can
obtain the solid support of the old Dem
ocratio party, it is the one upon whom the
mantle of nomination has fallen, as is evi>
deneed by the enthusiasm with which the
news was received from the flashing wires,-
a soldier, tried and true, with an unsullied
record, aud statesman singularly faithful
to tho principles of the Democratic party.
with expansive viows and answering integ>
rity. We hail him as the Chiettain that
will lead to complete and certain victory.

JEFFERSON County. June 23d, 1880.
Editor Spirt-There is some talk of
running certain men for party services rem
dered. If we are to be governed in our
selection of Congressional candidates by such
feeling, the candidate of Jefferson county
stands as the peer of any man in the Demo,
cratic party of West Virginia.
His services havezbeen of that material
kind which brought forth fruit. and rem
dered at time when the party most needed
aid, which brought us out from under Rsdi-
cal misrule.
We do not desire to disparsge any mans
efforts for the party in the past or present,
but We do wish to be distinctly understood
that if the issue in the Congressional Con-
vention Is to be made upon services rem.
dered to the Democratic party, We claim for
: the giant. of Jefferson Democracy, Dan'l b.
Lucas, the nomination. His whole life and
talent has been devoted to the perpetuation
OF the glorious principles of the founder of
our party, Thomas Jefferson, and champion
of oar political liberties.
1t upon the ground of fitness for the posi-
ton the claims of each candidate are to Be
considered. then we submit the claims OF
Daniel B Lucas without argument, for his
well known abilities as lawyer and states
man of the Democratic type will lead the
convention to place him where his friends
OF the Second Congressional District desire
he should be, who have the interest of the
State and people at heart, in seat in tho
National Legislature. II

1Hr. EdHor.-As the timo approaches for
tho holding of the Democratic Congressional
Convention the question presented is who will
be representative of this district in the next
Congress? I suppose it is conceded that
nomination by that convention will be
equivalent to an election, and if SO it be-
hooves our people to arouse themselves to the
necessity of making judicious selection of
gentleman to succeed our present reprc>
sentative l say succeed, because cannot
tor moment think that tho Democratic
party of the Second Congressional District
Will consent to indorse what the Republican
party of the country so empbaticallv con-
demned at Chicago-a third term.
l know that it has been and will be urged
that by change of representative influence
upon the floor and in the committees of Con.
gress will be lost. That instead of being
chal man of some committee a new member
must take n subordinate position and thereby
lose influence in shaping tho legislation of
Congress don't think that this argument
will hold water, for should it be the pleasure
of our people to select D. i. Lucas as our
representative, take my word for it, he will
make himself and constituents known and
appreciated, be he head or tail of commit.
tee, and his ability as an orator and states
man will soon be recognized and appreciated
on the floor by both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis.

out word about our present representative.
Mr.. Martin has been three times selected as
our standard>bearer, and now tina. he has an
opportunity, while it is yet called to-day.

past battled SO manfully in his behalf.

Mr. Wilson gave detailed account of the
proceedings therein, and spoke feryently of
the happy unity now prevailing in New York

democratic ranks, happy augury of coming
success. He was followed by Col. Bassett, of

There were many present from Berryville

special trains over the Shenandoah Valley

Band for the music they furnished US on the
occasion. Any one who has ever heard them
know that they can give us very superior
quality. They were conducted to the depot
by Deputy Marshal J. c. Wiltshire, who
returned thanks to them for their services on
the part of the people of Charlestown, and
being called upon for speech, responded in
very creditable manner to the enthusiasm of
the hour. And before the train left the Thrill

forth upon the midnight air, touching the
ears and hearts of the listeners with its
melody.

THOMAS a., HENDRICKS.
The call for Indiana was the signal for the
most enthusiastic cheering outside the dele
gates seats, renewed wildly as tho banner of
Thomas A. Hendricks was waved from the
rear of the platform.
Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana, desired to pre-.
sent the name of a distinguished citizen of
Indiana who was lit to be President. After
complimentary illusions to all the candidates
already presented, all of whom he knew were
worthy of every honor, he said there was
none, however, with more commentator in
the works of his life than attached to Thomas
A. Hendricks. [Great applause Indiana
had for twenty years been an important bait
le-ground of the Democratic party, and she
had never fal;ered with Hendricks in the
front. [Applause.1 There were no divided
counsels in Indiana; there was no treschery
there. They were unanimous and cordial in
their presentation Of tho gentleman whom be
had named. He was worthy of all support,
aud his administration. if nominated and
elected, would prove his administration in
every station he had filled in the past. To
the South, who had been more faithful to
the North, who had been truer? Indiana
nailed his colors to the mast, would stand bv

allied here it would be tho presage of great

An old citizen Gone.

DIR. G. l.. Wilcox, many years a
respected citizen of GAINESVILLE, was
last Monday seized with a severe
attack of paralysis, and, with one
brief interval of consciousness, con-
tinued to sink under its oppression
till Thursday morning, when he
quietly passed away from life
which had long been burden to
him. DIR. w. was at one time an
extensive prOperty-hOlder in this
city and served his term as mayor,
but the war brought many tronbles
to him, among them the loss not
only of his property but of a favor
lite son, who was put to death by
the federal officers while a prisoner.
Since the war he has endured rather
than enjoyed existence, with ruined
fortunes and bodily powers seriously
impaired.
The malady which carried him
off was the elimination of diseased
condition of the brain under which
he has long labored, and which as
sumed very serious form last Feb
ruary.
Messrs. John E. Wilcox, from
Louisville, and Clarence o. Wilcox,
from Paducah, are here, having ar
rived for the purpose of attending
their fathers death-bed.
