after giving the proceedings of the Conven-
ton of the day before which nominated
Capt. Jas. Bumgardner, jr., says of that

1--WE hav'n't the pleasure of knowing Mr..

but we take it he is a man of considerable

chosen by the Democrats of the Tenth dis
long been known as one of the most Jealous,
active and successful Democratic leaders in
the State. The vigorous efforts on the

sectional and centralising Republicauism.-

Capt. James Bumgardner, Jr.. the DEM
ocratic nominee for Congress in the Tenth
district, in place of Hon. J. r. Tucker, is
in every respect worthy and deserving of the
of the several gentlemen whose names were
before the Convention would have graced
the position and made an excellent represen-
tative, every one will concede the fact that
the Convention could have made no better
selection than the gallant son of Augusta,
who has already won high reputation as
lawyer and as an able and skilful party
leader No man in the district has render
ed better service to the Democratic party
than he, and it was under his leadership
that grand and glorions old Augusta has
stood firm and rolled up such splendid
majorities for the Democracy when other
counties in the Valley were lost. The COM
pliment both to the county and the man was
deserved and we'll bestowed, and we con-
graduate both. Now, let all hands go to
work and roll up the biggest majority in
November ever given in the district Wing.

trict Convention that assembled at Staunton
on the goth inst, to select candidate fol-
Congress from the Tenth district. This is
not only a compliment to Capt. Bumgardner,
who had some of the ablestand most popular
men in the district as his competitors, but il
is we'll deserved tribute to the sterling
democracy of the good old county of Au-
gusta.-DanUiue Register.
The nomination of Capt. James Bumgard-
her, Of Augusta, for Congress, to succeed
Mr.. Tucker in the tenth district, will pro-
badly give as much general satisfaction to
the democratic party as would that of any
other of the aspirants. Col. Coleman, of
Buckingham, would have been moro popular
this side of the mountain, because he is
from portion of the "black belt," where
democrats do more hard fighting than any
where else in the world, and always get the
least reward for their services. But Capt.
| Bumgardner is gentleman of very decided
ability and merit, and will no doubt COM
Y
of his party in all portions of the district.
That he will be elected by good majority
there is no reason to doubt, whoever the re-
publicans may nominate in opposition to
| him, provided his party does its whole duty.

Captain James Bumgardner, Jr., of
Stanton, who was nominated for Congress
yesterday by the Democrats of the Tenth
congressional (Mr. Tucker's) district, is a
gentleman of sound, practical sense, a good
speaker, lawyer of ability, and is well
known and popular throughout his district.
He will bring out the full Democratic vote
of the district, which is equivalent to say.
ing that he will be elected by fattering
majority. We congratulate old Augusta
upon carrying off the honors in the Conven.
| ton. The nominee is to be congratulated
| especially, seeing that he snatched the
prize from so many worthy and popular
competitors. "-Richmond Dispatch.
