bors disfranchised and made the victim
OF Radical prescription. He hat
gone to work 10 right this wrong, to en-
franchise his fellow-citizens and cloth'
them with the rights Of citizenship. HI
had succeeded, and he deserved well u
the hands Of the party. Mr.. Newman'i
speech was thoroughly characteristic
and it provoked good deal OF enthu
siasm.
Mr.. Blue objected to the manner in
which things were being done, but the
chair exhibited disposition to run
things to suit himself. When Marshall
county was called a little later, Mr.. vii.
liam Kincaid, OF that county, seconded
the nomination OF Col. Dan johnson,
He said he was but recently from Greene
county, Pa, but had watched Col. Dan
since the days OF Radical prescription.
He went on to tell OF speeches Col. Dan
had made on former occasions, and oi
the brave way in which he had dGiied
"Radical mobs" and madG Republican
speakers take back things they had said.
He was followed by the boys with some
enthusiasm.
JOHN o. ENTERED,
Mr.. Harrell responded on behalf OF
Ohio county, saying he was proud that
the Democratic party had so much good
timber. He agreed with the last speaker
that a laborer was worthy OF his hire.
He had man himself who was worthy
OF his hire-a man who in avoirdupois
and in stature was not much, but as to
tongue and brain was rattler. He had
been nominated here prematurely. He
was man who for eighteen years had
been in the front rank fighting for De-
mocracy, a man to whom, if to any
body, the Democrats OF the district owed
their suffrages at this time. He named
John o. Pendleton, whose name was
Checred again and again.
Mr.. Joe Emsheimer seconded this
nomination, reading from manuscript n
speech urging, as he said, the necessity
Ofnominating John o. Pendleton-aman
who represents our wishes and the prin-
cipIes OF the Democratic party; man in
accord with aIl the recent platforms OF
the party; worthy, honest, capable. Mr.;
name was greeted with wild
cheers, but when the speaker went into
pedigree general stamping arose which
continued until the speaker sat down,
nearly every word he said,
and upon which the Chairman's vigor-
Gus and ear-splitting rat-tat-tat with his
heavy gavel produced no more impress
sion than child's breath against cy-
clone.
Mr.. Emsheimer continued amid the
uproar:
Born and raised among you, his an
cestors being one Of the first families OF
Virginia, Gradled in Democracy from
infancy, trained in Democracy by his
great father, whom every one knew to
be one Of the ancient JeHersouiau Demo-
Gratis; and heiwhOse claims, to-day we adj
voCatc has followed in the same foot
steps and is entitled to all the honors
we can bestow US delegates, and all the
support we can give him. ! therefore
hope it may be the pleasure OF this
to concur with me in this
request and nominate John 0. Pendle-
ton for this position and l shall feel in
decd fiattered by such results.
When the speech stopped, SO did the
racket.
JOE wooDs's SEND OFF.
Mr.. l. +. Jones said: the First dis
triCt OF West Virginia is Democratic.

ional elections have been scratches.
This time we propose to claim our own,

me nor anybody else. name Hon.
Joseph Woods. [Cheers.
Mr.. Wm. ShafIGr seconded Col. Dan
Johnson's nomination. He said the
Colonel would have been nominated
long ago, and elected, if he had been a
wire puller. Col. Dan was again cheered.
W. r.. Mcintyre OF Tyler county, sec
onded Col, Johnson's nomination with u
hearty send,otf, which was again heart
ify cheered. lie said Col. Johnson had
made success possible for the Democracy
in the first place, by his fight against
Radical prescription.
Mr.. Blue, OF Marshall, again rose to
the inquiry: "Nhat are we here fol? E?

moral and political records Of Col. Dan

Ruled out oi order by the Chair amid
