The Result.


If the delegates had made grand pande-
monium in their former expressions of dis
gust or enthusiasm, they raised Hades
when the result of this ballot wrs announc-
ed. The anti-Updegrafftes were jubilant,
and at once began to desert the hall. Out
they went pen nell, each one trying to
get to the hotel first, arrange his paper col
box, and then for the depot. Their enthu-
Siasm was limitless and understandable. BY
superior tactics they had defeated man
who stood atlthe very threshold OF success,
dorsement in the future was at least publi-
catieal. They had downed one of the most
magnificent organizations ever seen in
Ohio, headed by a man whose
adroitness as a manager was recognized by
all. They had covered themselves with
glory, and they know it, as we'll as the
sCowling delegates from Jefferson and Bel
mont, who were prostrated for a moment,
but their sand remained, and desperate
measure was determined upon by some OF
them. Hunt mounted a chair and yelled,
THE Belmont and Jefferson delegates will
remain a minute for consultation. Wewill
see about this" The lobby rushed in and
spurred on the protestants. One man said:
''Let us go on and nominate man any
how" "0h, that would never do" said a
sensible man at his elbow. All this time
the leaders were prancing about the dele
gates were filing out, and the first thing
the leaders knew they were solitary and
alone, and they in turn went down stairs.
Post MOrtems.
when do you think there will be an
other Convention, Col. Hunt" asked the
REGISTER. There won't be any," replied
the namesake of 'old fog horn," as he
threw on his coat and tried 10 kick him
self in the impotence of his rage.
John C. Brown, chairman of the Congress
sional Committee, said: II shall call a
meeting of the committee at Bellaire within
the next two weeks. | don't know when
the Convention will be held. You can bet
that Updegraff will come out of Jefferson
with solid delegation the next time"
Solid delegations are expensive luxuries,
Colonel" said the REGISTER, but the Col
onel had gone.
Private Dslzell says: "You can just bet
that will be on hands at the next conven-
tion, and will use my best efforts to defeat
Updegraff."
Updegraff thinks that he can carry
Noble nearly solid, Jefferson solid.
Belmont more nearly than he did before,
cut in on Hollingsworth in Harrison, and
on Taylor in Guernsey. He says the peo'
pie will make their comment on this occa-
sion.
A Harrison county delegate says he was
approached more than two weeks ago by
an emissary of one of the candidates and
asked if money could purchase him. The
man alluded to is a yonng farmer and was
30 indignant that he fired the ecorruptionist.
Holiingsworth thinks he will not go to a
political convention yet while.
Col Taylor is the most courteous and
genial of ali the candidates.

eRest NOT i'm convention.


The announcement OF this vote was re-
ceiyed with great applause by the upde-
grafhtes. while the others smiled grimly
and bided their time.
Hon. John c. Jamison, OF Harrison
county, directly after this ballot was taken.
called up the resolution of thanks offered
by Col. Boushfield, of county, to
the good people of st. Clairsville for their
hospitality, and it went through with will.
As soon as the vote of thanks had been
passed, Mr. Rainey, of Guernsey. submit
ted as q supplementary report from the
Committee on Rules, the following
Rules,
Adopted Bythe republicans Of the SereRteeRth
Congressional District Of Ohio, IN Conre"tioH
assembled:
RULE The general management and
direction of the Congressional canvass in
the Seventeenth Congressional District
shall be invested in District Committee,
consisting of one member from each coun-
ty in the District, TO be chosen biennially
at the Congressional Convention, each
county selecting its member for the COM
mittee.
2-vacancies in said committee from re-
moyal, death, resignation or other cause
the county where such vacancy occurs
until the next regular Congressional Con-
vention.
Sit shall be the duty of said committee
to fix the time and place OF holding the
Congressional Conventions, determine the
number of delegates to which each county
shall be entitled based by uniform rule
upon the Republican vote OF each county,
and to prescribe uniform method which
shall secure to each township entitled
thereto delegate truly representing such
township.
4-The committee may be convened by
the chairman at such times and places as he
NAV think proper, or may be convinced on
the call of any three members, giving ten
days notice thereof
5.-These rules to be enforced and OBJ
served until amended or abolished IN
regular Congressional Convention.
On the introduction of this report the
rules were attacked generally by DR.. Ely, OF
Belmont county, who characterized some
of the sections of one Of the rules as practi-
cal bOssism.
Col. T. A. Anderson, of Guernsey, re-
sponded to the doctors remarks in very
able way, and it did appear that DIR. Ely's
distinctions and differences were those OF
the tweedle. DUN and dee order. The dis
cussion was long and somewhat tedious,
and at its close Mr. Law, OF Harrison, made
a motion to adjourn sine die. the ehairmen
of the delegations TO announce the result
of the vote.
Then there was hurrying to and fro. The
Updegraff men recognized the peril OF their
situation and knew that unless they could
stem the rush OF disgusted farmers toward
home their chances for q nomination were
very slim. Hunt cayorted about the yari-
Gus delegations, doing some, caJoling
others. frowning upon some and smiling
upon others. Mitchell moved as usual
very cautiously and got in some good
licks. The word was passed along the line,
