The Boys Busy.
During the time occupied in making up
the committees, the candidates either per.
sonally or by proxy, were getting in their
work with vim. Charley Shinn urged
Kitchens claim everywhere, and bobbcd
about the hall like a fish out of water.
Charley looked detected. As fusionst,
he felt that he had been failure, and he
also felt that with The refusal OF the con-
ventlon to justify the pretentions OF his
man. would follow his defeat and retire
ment.
Mccormick did not look much more
cheerful than Shinn, and Butts was not in
sight. Both Mason and Hoke's men were
assiduously at work, and both claimed with
every show of confidence the nomination.
After the report of the committees, Gov
Pierpont called out Amendment" Flick,
who SAID that speaking was out OF place
Just now, and acting is what is necessary.
Il will tell you an open secret" he contin-
ucd; "for the next one hundred years this
country will be under Republican admin
istration. This is an open secret. Go tell
it to your Democratic brethren. Another
thing I want to say is, that when party is
in power, every State in the Union should
have member or members in that Ma
tional Congress in sympathy with that
party. Everybody comedies this fact and
the Democrats of this district, have staid
to say, have come to that conclusion here.
It looks badly to be without a member for
any party
Judge Flick closed his address with an
exhortation to the delegates to
The Convention took a recess till |: 80
T. NJ.
Afternoon Session.
Promptly at the hour named for reas-
sembling the delegates resumed their seats
in the court house. Just before the con-
vention was called to order a rumor went
through the crowd like fash that al the
last moment Judge Hoke had refused un-
conditionally to allow his name to be used
before the convention. This announce
ment fell like wet cloth upon the dele
gates. 1t was felt that the Judge had the
Nomination Within His Grasp.
He said that he was too poor to make the
canvass, and for private reasons he would
not do 1t.
The Committee on Basis of Representa-
tion reported the representation from each
county to be precisely as heretofore pub
lished, aggregating 2I5 votes. Necessary TO
q choice 1873 votes.
The Committee on Permanent Organizl-
tion reported the following list Of officers:
President, T. X. Carskadon, of Mineral;
VIM. o. Dawson and A. List;
and one Nice-President from each county.
Mr.. Carskadon, in taking the chair, t0
which he was escorted by Gen. Brown and
]. Hathorn, made brief speech, in which
the usual Republican platitudes were in
dulged in. He referred in a sarcastic man
ner TO the Keyser Convention and called its
pandemonium,
The report of the Committee on Resolu.
tions depIored the death Of Garfield and
rendered sympathyto GenerG Arthur. 1t
also reafiirmed the platform Of 1880
Stagyer's speech Nominating Hon. J.
=. W. Mason.
Cpon the cali Of counties, T. II. b. Stag
gers nominated Hon. John w Mason as
candidate for Congress. He said: Il feel
sure that the nominee OF this convention
will be warmly and generally supported by
the Republican party in this district. This
is surely true Of Marion county. There is
some division OF sentiment, it is true, but
whatever i'll feeling may have been born in
the sun and dust of August will wither to
nothing before the cooling breezes OF DC.
tOber. We want candidate who will be
the representative of the liberal and pro-
gressive Republicanism OF the day. One
free from prejudice and bigotry. man OF
a,-ta x1yhn
sentiments are in the strictest accord with
the independence Of the hour. We need a
leader Of push and nerve and enterprise.
A man who will not idly sleep meath his
own fig tree. A man who has at no time
Welded to the seductive influences OF policy
and bowed down to modern Gods.
Why enumerate our needs? All the
splendid attributes in a man with big
head full of brains and big heart full Of
love is John w. Mason OF Taylor county.
In the day of success and hour of disaster
when strong men quivered, he never weak
ened, never wavered. OF grand integrity
and unassaultable character, he is our ideal
leader of the hosts who nominate him
nominate him and he will lead you TO sue
cess.
A. G. Dayton, of Barbour, seconded the
of John W. Mason. Nelly

uuent and suitable speech urged Butts
