Decide on SIr. David C, KsnnOp, Of Guernsey
County, to Make the Race Against Col
j. D. Taylor-A Stale, Fiat and Un'
profitable Time up ut stsubsnyille,

The Democratic Congressional Convsn'
ton Of the Seventeenth district Of Ohio
met at steubenyille yesterday, and re-
suited in the nomination OF David Q.
Kennon, Of Guernsey county,
Had 1t not been for the published call OF
the committee nobody would have known
there was any convention, The contrast
between this and the Republican oonyen'
ton at the came place week before was
striking, Last week the hotels were
crowded and the streets were full Of
strangers attracted by the convention, not
all Of whom were delegates, The meeting
was earnest and interesting, though not
enthusiastic. Yesterday the number Of
people on the streets was not nohCssbly
increased, and the convention met in the
Court House, which, though much smaller
than the Opera House, the place the fur
mer convention filled, was not one-iourEh
occupied by the delegates, and there were
no outsiders except few newspaper men
whose presence was not matter Of choice.
The convention IVES not attended with the
interest which attaches 10 q ward meeting
on this side Of the river.
II was moreover slow In getting 10 work,
It was called to meet at II o'clock, but
didn't. At 10 the different county dale
cations met In caucus, aud they did not
get through until long after the end OF the
hour at their dispo1al. The difficulty
seemed 10 be in securing enough men
from the various countles to fill the CON-
nittees. Noble county had but one rep
resentatiye, Editor Jennings, who was moi
elected a delegate. Finally, about half
past eleven, all the delegations got through
but that from Belmont. ltspent another
half hour in talk, and then IL was decided
by tho five men in the court room to mee
at1P.N,
At a quarter past ono there was Just one
solitary soul in the court room. He Gwoke
with a start when two reporters entered
and when asked what county he repre-
scented, said: enc? H I'm the ianl
tori"
There was noticeable absence among
the delegates Of the old leaders Of Democ
racy in Tho district. McFadden, Of steu
bsnville, Arnold, OF Cadiz, Riley, OF st
Clalrsville, were there. But Ham Eaton
Chairman Of the Oomnittee, Hon. WiIllsn
A. Lawrence, who had been chosen al
Temporary Chairman, Mr.. Estep, Col
Charlesworth, Ross Alexander, DR., Cooke
Judge Barton, Billy Ootlland, John NJ
Amos,-these were conspicuous by theil
absence.

THE HALL CROWDED The Hugo Liter
airy Socicly's entertainment on Monday
evening filled the Town Hall for the first
time. On such occasions it is expected s.at
the local paper shall refer in a kindly way
TO the entertainment and by giving express
sion to several well-worn gcncraities close
the comment by saying "the entertainment,
was a success in this instance, while We
may not wax eloquent in what We may
have to say, we desire to have it understood
that we are not performing a pcrtunctoly
duty, but are dec dcdy interested in having
all know that We were more than gratitiCd
really surprised and IN no part or degree
disappointed. The olio was composed OF
very entert lining parts and the scrio.comi
play in four acts, The Schoolmaam," was
given with surprisingly intelligent con
ccptlon Of the parts. Every part was per-
fccllv mcmorzed and gnls and boys though
they were, pathos, w.t. bombast, wooden

A HANDSOME SToNE-Mr. Frank L..
Whitman who has been absent from this
place for several years, in Minnesota, re-
turned last week TO recuperate, his health
having failed recently. We are glad TO
know that he is rapid y Icgaining his health.
Since he left us, Frank has seen a very con-
siderable portion OF the great Northwest
and during one ofhls peregrinations on the
upper shores Of Lake Superior he found !.
very large carnellan which he preserved to
bring home with him; this he has presented
to US and with it Il vial containing twenty
layers of the marvellous colorcd sand from
the fails of Minnchana, We should be
pleased to give our readers an account OF
this marvellous sand, but will content our
selves with hint to friend Whitman to fur
nsh it in his very entertaining style. lie
Will remain with us probably month or
more.

A BRILLIANT PROMISE .--Thcrc are those
who will doubtless, understand that We have
expressed an unjUstltinhlc hope, and will be
censurcd for it, as we with Others have been
for ENJOYING under more favorable conditions
the very state Of things 10 which oui present
hope refers. There are those among the
youths and girls Of our town, en- whom We
may, with the strongest hope, depend, to be-
come bright and shining lights in the realm
of histrionic art. That is, provided the
marked talent in this direction be cultivated.
We have amongst US several bora actors
and actresses and while with some that pro-
tesson does not stand 1t the high water
mark Of social and other tide gauges, we
may be permitted to express the hope that,
if their tastes and talents give brilliant
promise in that direction. they may be en-
couragcd to enter that profession, rather
than to be pressed to enter one of the others
and, giving it a half-heartcd support, simply
add another to the legion of failures, with
which contcmrorancous history is burden
ed
Give them a chance; there may a Booth
or a Sidlons spring from amongst our play
acting boys and girls.

VALUABLE TEsTIMoNIAL.--Atth the Luth-

evening last, the pastor, Rev W. G. Wire,
was the recipient of Chambers Encyclope-
dla in ten volumes, handsomely bourd and
well printed. The gift was by a number of
the younger male members of his congrega-
ton. The words conveying the gift were
strikingly happy and Fictitious and Mr..
Harvey II Rou2cr has again proven his
good taste and adaptability to such occa-
sions. The kind expressions of the speaker
were echoed in the heart of every nearer,
and the reverend gentleman was evidently
moved. He, however, responded tcelingly
in few well chosen sentences. 1t was a
graceful act, gratefully recognized.
