Hubbard, read the following resolutions:
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That We do not deem any res
olutions or declarations of sentiment or
opinion necessary on the part Of this con-
yentiOn.
Resolred That We believe the welfare of
our city and State to be deeply involved in
the success of the Republican policy and
principles, as declared by the National and
State Conventions of the party.
| ReSolred, That we 60 into this election
with the declaration of West Virginia for
the Republican party and will labor for il
at the polls on the day of election, and in
yite all lovers of the welfare and prosperity
of our city and State to labor with us TO
this great end.
| When the resolutions were read the del
egates looked from one TO the other and
scratched their heads for moment, trying
to gain an inkling rs 10 what such lot OF
unmeaning words signified; then, as if by
magic, the solution struck, them apparent
ly all at once, and broad smile spread
over the countenanceS Of all. When the
chair called for vote on the adoption of
the resolutions every delegate shouted HIM
self hoarse yelling ''yes!n and as the echo
died away one could hear such remarks as
"Prohibitionists We'll, l guess not"
Cant catch us that way" LEFT out in
the cold entirely" That committee has
Il great head, -" &c, &c, dd infnitUm.
THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

inatiOn of a Legislative ticket WAS the next

Atkinson of Triadclphia district, was put
in nomination Mr.. w. Newt. Linch fol-
lowed BY nominating Mr.. Geo. l.. Muhn.
Mr.. c. ID. Hubbard here arose and said that
| il had always been the custom 10 select
the country candidate first and that he was
well aware that Mr.. Atkinson was gen
tleman in every way fitted for the position
and had served the county for several terms
in the capacity of Commissioner, and he
hoped il would be the pleasure of the Con-
venton to nominate him. Col. Curtis also
spoke in favor of Mr. AtkinsOn's nomina-
| ton, and on motion he was nominated by
acclamatiOn.
Mr.. f. Buckman, of Madison, then
nominated Mr.. W. ). Meek, and Mr.. q.
W. Baggs nominated Mr.. Nelson +. Whit
aker. At this juncture DIR. Edwards
arose and said he was pretty sure that Mr.
! Whitaker would not be a candidate, rs he
had his word and letter from him TO that
effect. Mr.. Baggs said he had been talk
| ing to Mr. Whitaker last evening and he
had expressed to him a willingness To run
| if the convention thought fit 10 nominate
him. Everybody was surprised at this
little mistake in the programme, but ii
was passed lightly over and Mr.. BaggS
moved that Mr.. Whitaker he nominated
by acclamation, which was done.

Meek and Muhn were also elected by ac-
cIanation, followed by applause.
