proceedings OF yesterdays convention Il

the State. 1t Ia not an exsggeration TO ssy
that to ninety percent Of these who hay.
any affection Tor the Republican party,
those proceedings ara satisfactory. I tiud
in talking With leading Republicans from
nearly every county in this State that the
feeling Of repugnancs to Judge Maxwell'a
nomination arcss more from the manner
In which he received bis frat nomination
than from any tangible objection to the
man himself. The Duckhanuon con.
vention always hes been regarded BY
orthodox Republicans with suspicion aud
the results ot iis iDcu baton as semi. spuri
Gus. The Greenbackers who attended that
conclave, IN part at least, are prominent
among the "heelers" Of the organization
and by their coaduct Of things excited a
suspicion that possibly an interior political
auction room OF nnuue proportions had
neen starred In the inaocen. county O,
Upshur. The subsequen. declarations OF
some ol those "heeers" did not tend to
allay those suspicious aud the legitimate
rrsult wa, a feeling Of genuine hostility to
tue issue OF the convention, especially Ia
that portion oil the State where Green.

The second objection that struck most
Republicans was the fac. that the Green.
hackers "tookil" upon themselves.to nomi.

idea was tina! they werein no instance TO Law

also to these OF the Grafton meeting. ,Tn:e

OTHER PHASES,
O:her phases Of the am.!gamstion were
asso distsstti iui to many Republicans. The
disansction was quite large and well dis.

state Convention met here yesterday.
Darlng the las: Two or three weeks, how.
