tba reoutation of hon0red American citi-
ems Inv removing them IRON office under
tbe specious and meaningless plea Of often
s;ve partisanship and refusing to give the
real cause of their removal, and we de-
mand of the Democratic party that it cease
it's bypocritical cry about Civil Service Re
form after it's defeat of Pendleton and its
record of the year it has been In power,
and show its true colOrs, which is, Ito the
yictors belong the spoils."
Fifth-We approve of the action OF the
9th General Assembly in restoring the
Congressional Districts ofthe State to their
ORIGINAL boundaries; in the unseatlng OF the
fra1dulent members of the House of Rep
resentatives and Senate; in the passage of
the Dow Law; and in its efforts to preserve
the purity OF the ballot box.
we commend the administration of
Hon. Joseph 6. Foraker for its ~untiinching
Pennblicanism: it close attention to the
interests of the State; its prompt preser-
walton ofthe credit of the State; and the
nlacing of our public institutions under
the controlof parties that have brought
order ont of confusion and made them
both s~elf-sustaining and credltable.

Assistant Secretaries.
Nominations being in order, the roll of
counties was called and j. A.. Troelt, OF
Cambridge, presented the name OF Col. ).
d TAYLOR in a long and uninterestlng
speech, which enairely cooled the enthusl-
asm which might he seen creeping forth In
some parts o. the house. The calling of the
roll being completed, and no other candi-
dates appearing, Judge John l.. cochran
of Martins Ferry, seconded the nomlna-
ton of Col. Taylor in an eloquent speech,
which brought forth rounds ofhpplanse.
On motion Of Mr.. Glover, of Harrison
county, the rules were suspended and Col.
TAYLOR nominated by reclamation, there
being not more than a half dozen dissent
inc votes. the Poorman ieud evidently be
ing almost forgotten, and the friends OF
other candidates not caring to dissent.
The following committee of one from
each county was appointed To appralSe Col.
TAYLOR of the action Of the convention, and
conduct him To the hall: Messrs. Hibbs.
of Guernsey: Forker. of Harrison: Coma
way, of Jefferson; Lewis, of Belmont
Williams, of Noble.
While the committee was absent Prof.
Sargent, OF Cambridge came to the stage
and sung several parodics on popular airs,
which were very much appreciated by the
delegates.
The committee sent after Colonel Taylor
arrived with the successful candidate,
whom they escorted to the stage, where he
delivered u very pleasant speech, contain
ing among other things the following:
"GENTLEMEN OF Ill CoNNENTIoN-l
thank you most profoundly for the dis
tinguished honor you have conferred upon
me. | more fully appreciate il coming
from those who have honored me before,
and | also appreciate the responsibilities
and labors Of such a position
Through you ! thank the people, and
| also thank the Republican and lndcpend'
ent press of the district for the indorse,
ment and commentator il has given
me. ! appreciate the nomination
all the more because II
was the cordial tender of the unpurchased
and unpurchasahle will of this great Con
grcssiOnal district, which has no superior
on the continent. There is no power IL
money to purchase delegates like these,
There is none To purchase the people. That
class belongs in the Democratic party,
where they have recently been found
They have no place in the Republican
mrtv. I'm Justice Ia myself and the dis
trict. in the broad sunshine OF this bright
afternoon. in the ncighborhoOd where
was born, and in the presence OF men whC
have known me from my youth up, ] de
clare that | have done nothing in this cam
paign which any honest gentleman might
not do or have known" =
1t is not enough that we should protect
capital. The time is coming when w
must protect labor rs well rs lis products
We must shut the door against anIrchiSts
communists, criminals and paupor
from the shores of the orient anC
other parts of the world. Crowds brought
here under contract should III longer have
the right to drive away from the forge anC
the mill and the shop our own country
men" Mr.. Taylor concluded with pre-
dieting a glorious future for the party,
The TaylorS were here in full force

trious family was represented by w. II
