AUGUSTA C0UNTY.-Nobleo old Augusta coun-
ty, she is always right. We have read with
great satisfaction OF the proceedings Of her
Democratic County Convention Of last Monday
held to nominate candidates for the General
Assembly.
Absalom Koiner was nominated by acclama-
ton for the Senate. He ID q true Democrat and
. representative man-solid, sensible, and re-
dable-a genuine Augustan. Az the boatmen
on the western waters say, "he will do to tie
to-"
Marshall Hanger was the next nominee-for
the House Of Delegates OF course. Hsis known
all over Virginia as one OF the best Speakers
who ever sat In the chair once honored BY Linn
Banks, John W. Jones, Oacar N. Crutchneld,
and such like worthless. Capable, faithful, and
experienced. Mr.. Hanger will worthily repre-
sent his county next winter, as he has 30 often
done heretofore.
The next and last-made nominee was James
b. Skinner. We lot the SPECTATOR finish:
''Nevsr before havewe witnessed such wild en-
thusiasm as greeted the nomination Of Col.
Skinner. One wild shout after another went
up. and was aided BY the clapping Of hand. and
delighted crowd Col. Skinner was almost borne
to the stand and silence onee more prevailed,
for all feared that he would not accept the
nomination. And his opening words bore pre-
sage of such an event when he said: This day
