ST.. LOUIS, June 6.--The democratic ma
tional convention today broke the record for
the greatest display Of enthusiasm ever wit
messed in similar body. For over twenty
consecutive minutes twelve thousand people
filled the air Of the great convention ball with
a volume Of undiminshinR applause, COM
parable with nothing on earth, perhaps, save
the roar Of the falls Of Niagara. IT followed
the utterance Of these words:
~ give you a name entwined with victory.
! nominate Grover Cleveland, OF New York"
The speaker was Daniel Dougherty, Of Tam

fibre Of his features quiYering, every nerve Of
his noble figure tense, the magnificent voice
Of the orator was alternately thrilling the vast

will again lead the party to glorious victory.
When the roll of states was called and
tho chairman of the Alabama del
egation arose and announced that
his delegation had instructed him to waive
the first right to New York, another cheer
went up and all eyes were TUNED to the New
York corner of the hall. Daniel Dougherty
arose from his place in the delegation, and the
moment his courtly form was discovered he
was cheered again and again as he made
his way up the south aisle, amid the
waving of hats, flags, handkerchiefs, ban
danas, stoveppes-black, gray and Whitehall
whirled about and above the platform. Mr..
Dougherty was ushered up by dozen cnthu-
siastic hands and received there by hundred
more which were extended towards him, while
cheer followed cheer 1t was many minutes
before the enthusiasm of the audience subsidized
enough for him to speak, and when he did
commence the conclusion Of almost
EVERY SENTENCE WAS Justify CHEERED.
In his first sentence, as the words rolled out,
there was such musical ring in them, such
pleasant change from the metallic sound of
the reading clerks and the previous speakers,
that it seemed as If the dulcet tones of O cor
net had fallen on their ears. With the ham
mering OF iron it was the ring and music of an
orator. AS the first words rose and fell above
the state banners and passed ON and over
the alternates till they reached the
farthest wing, one thought of Gladstone
and his bell like voice; of Cicero In the Roman
forum; of Demosthenes teaching his voice the
strong but sweet murmur of Grecian
waves. Then all these thoughts waned away
as magnificent sentence after sentence rolled
out, and burst after burst Of applause followed.
The first prolonged applause came when the
speaker said that New York would present the
name of the next president. For just one
minute the applause rolled over the house.
Then there were flashes Of plaudits till
the orator declared that New York would
pledge their electoral vote to the
candidate she would present. Then the con-
vention settled back, like an athlete
getting his wind for final burst. The
speaker led up to the climax quickly. He
gave only note of warning before the storm
burst. Stopping for an instant before he en-
tered on his last sentence, which was the
climax Of his speech, he raised both hands
above his head This was the signal, for 81
lence fell on the assembled thrOng.
No more impressive scene could be imagined
The listeners eagerly bent forward to catch
every word which should drop from the speak
er's lips. Mr.. Dougherty, with uplfted hands,
glanced quickly over the sea Of intense faces
as il to catch the full and buoyant inspiration
OF the moment He raised his hands little
higher, and stretched his tall figure to Its
utmost length, and in
STRONG THRILLING TONES
said: 81 shall present name which is en-
twined in the hearts Of tie people, II is the
name Of Grover" He got no further. The
yell which met this word seemed 70 explode,

trollable, spontaneous force from every throat
in the hall. 1t came like the first burst Of

with the laundering outburst of sentiment
which greeted the presentation of Cleveland's
name today.
Dan Dougherty did his work nobly, and rs
he concluded the convention lost itself I'm the

James B. 7dney, Esq:
trust the movement Of the Wheeling
Chamber OF Commerce to advance the State
of West Virginia, may be the beginning Of
a new era for it.
Something is wanting in West Virginia.
She is too dormant for this age aud the
great nation of which she ia q part. We
want an infusion of strangers to mix with
cur present people; we want manufactures
to work up our iron, coal and timber; we
want diversified industries. In the great
body CT the State we have very little di-
versity or variety OF business or produc-
ton. No State or country Can prosper that
has not this diversity Of industries, mu-
tuaily helping one another and giving
employment of its people. We want
popular education, to be attained by tos
teriug our excellent school system. Above
all, we want good public roads and rail-
roads These things bring progress. The
world moves, and West Virginia must go
with it.
BstSeeh the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Baltim IRE and Ohio railroads is a section
100 miles wide and $50 long, almost
wholly without railroads. The counties Of
Writ, r ,aue, Calhoun, Gilmer, BraxtOn,
Clay, Nicholas, Webater. Pocshontas,
Randolph, Pendleton and Hardy have not
a single foot OF railroad in them. Think
of this! How can they prosper? The
thrice fine counties Of Barbour, Up3hur
and Lewis have few miles. Yet is no ex-
aggoration to say that this large
middle section has abundant bitumin-
ous coal, pure water, abundant tim
her, consisting pf ths various oaks.
poplar, hickory, asb, beech, sugar and
chestnut, cheap lands ranging from one
dollar up to forty dollars per acre, large
areas of it in q state Of nature at the lowest
prices, well sdspted to grazing cattle aud
sheep and raising horses, and to the cul-
ture of apples, grapes and vegetables, and
is exempt from severe druuth5 aud extreme
cold, and knows no malaria, or billiards,
or cyclones, has no epidsmics, and is in a
general sense healthy. Why is it not de-
sirable country to settle 10? Taking every
thing into consideration where Is better
country for a home? The immigrant to
West Virginia is not, it is true, going to o
land Of booms and feverish speculation, but
he is taking q safe ani prudent step in the
direction Of happy, healthy home snd
conservative, legitimate business. For cap
ital, considering our stores Of coal, iron and
timber, there is scarcely a more inviting
field than West Virginia.
