KEYsER, August 12.-The REGISTER rep
resentatiye called upon Hon. D. B. Lucas
at his headquarters soon after the adjourn
ment of the convention. He was asked if
he had any statement to make, and in re-
ply to several inquiries, said: "My friends
were in the main representatives of the
palmer but more reliable people, having
no aspirations for office. They readily
yielded most of the committees TO the men
more accustomed to committee business,
not dreaming of fraud. If any one thing
has been settled by precedent as
Absolutely Necessary
to the transaction of any business fairly, 1t
is that the vote on all important questions
should be by counties, because there being
no list of admission, it was impossible to
tell who had right to vote. Yet the tenn
porary chairman declined, uniformly, to
listen to call for division, and ruled as
out of order every call for vote by coun-
ties, and finally indicted the permanent
chairman into office

and in spite of every demand of the tellers
for a division. The permanent chairman

Hoges favor and denying all appeal, diyi-
sion or vote by counties. 1t became APP
parent that the programme was deliberate
ly planned and vas being steadily pursued
to carry every question most vital to the
final action of the convention, by viva
voce vote, which could neither be correctly
decided nor counted, and then to announce
arbitrarily the result, in a manner which
suited the purpose of the faction without
Permitting Appeal or Division.
This eliminated in unseating, by a viva
voce vote, all the regular Preston delega-
ton and onehalf of that of Taylor, upon
pretexts utterly flimsy. The delegation
Immediately withdrew, and Jefferson and
Hampshire and the most reliable parties of
every other county except Grant, separated
into distinct body. Each body has made
a nomination. offered, early this morn
ing, to
withdraw From the Contest
for the sake of harmony,-if Judge Hoge
would. This was promptE aeclined. Our
section of the convention, by my advice,
sent word to the adverse party that they
would re-unite and restore harmony, If both
Hoge and Lucas were withdrawn. This
proposition was thrown undel the table.
Nothing since the Hayes returning boards
ever exceeds the palpable and VIOLENT fraud
practiced by this convention. l regard
myself as the
Regularly and Fairly Nominated
candidate, and shall be elected. If, how
ever, a Republican nominee is put in the
field, shall be willing for a new conven-
ton and that Hoge and should be With,
drawn byAny competent authority and a
new candidate put in the field, but am
not the man to be overridden by violence
and brazen frauds There shall be no re-
turning board in this district if can pre-.

miles below this city, had been captured
by mob Of about seventy-fve, who re-
turned to Winfield and took the man from
