County Republican Meetings..

The District meetings i'll Augusta, held
on the 25th, were the best attended that
ever convened in the county. In each
district. there was a lai G. attendance, and
SO far as we have learned, there was good
feeling and harmony, except a slight dis
turbance in South River District. The
delegations selected to attend the Con-
yention at Lexington on the 9th of Sept.
are among our best citizens, of both races,
and reflect the Republican sentiment OF
the County.
The almost unanimous endorsement of
the present representative in Congress by
the people who know him best, and are
the more intimately acquainted with his
personal aid public character. Is a compli-
ment of no idle moment. And when this
is supplemented by the solid delegations
from every county west OF the Ridge,
including the Intelligent and sterling
Republicans Of Rockbridge and Bath, and
from Highland and Alleghany, as will lie
the case We are confident, it presents an
endol sement that is not only very crafty
ing to the representative himself. but to
his more intimate friends.
AT this writing we have not heard d.
recty but from one district in the east ern
counties, aid in that the approval of the
representative services of the ncumhent
are equally emphatic. What the other
counties in the district may dc or have
done. we do not know at this time. but
whatever it may be, will be taken IN the
kindliest spirit ny the gentleman who has
the honor of serving the people of the 10th
district in Congress.

dav, the 22d. Gen. Golf Was nominated
for Governor by reclamation, all the other
aspirants withdrawing in his favor. al
though he protested against the nomina-
ton. He was, however, drafted into the
service, and had to yield to the universal
demand that he accept the position. Geo.
M. Bowers. of Berkely, was nominate d
for Auditor: w. P. Hubbard, of Ohio Co,
for Attorney General, and IL. M. Lewis,
of Clay, for Treasurer; T. B. Mcclure, OF
Wayne. Superintendent of Schools; j. M
Mason, of Tyler, and H. y. McWhorter,
of Kanawha, for Court Of Appeals. Flee
tors at Large, Augustus Pollock, of 0hie.
and L. b. Dawes, of Fayette.
The ticket is regarded as very strong,
especially the head of it. Gen. Golf has
carried the ClaIksburg district for Con-
gress three times in succession, and with
ploportionate increase in the Other dis
tricts he will be elected. His splendid
personal character, his ability as II speaker
and organizer, and his experience in public
affairs, give assurance that he will make a
successful contest. He is one of the first
young men of the Nation. and West Vir-
ginia feels commendable pride in own
ing him as native and to the manner
born"
With the election of Golf will go, most

licans a United States Senator in place of

Judge Harris is reported in his speech
last Monday to have said that when the
VIRGINfAN said he wanted TO be Gov
ernor, it was nearer the truth than
anything he had seen in that paper for
ten years." If Judge Harris made this
remark, as reported by the Spectator, we
presume 1t will be necessary foI the VIR-
GINIAN to go into the retr acting business
Within ten years past. the VIRGINIAN
stated that Judge Harris had been mixed up
with no jobs while in Congress. and that
when he retired from service in that body.
he would do 50 with clean hands. In order
to make the Judge consistent with his re
marks above quoted. and to reit We him of

Washington, Aug. Flu the House one
of the most exciting scenes OF the Session
followed the delivery OF Il speech to-day
by Mr.. \ osJ, OF Virginia, arraigning The
democratic ma litS for It's refusal to al
low Il vote 10 BIT taken Oh the Blair bill. AS
every careful reader of The Tribune
knows, consideration Of this measure by
the House was prevented by the Demo
cratic steering" committee in the last
Congresses, and this session was NOT two
months old before men III speaker Car
Isle s confidence privately declared that
no action on that bill need De expected, at
least until after the Presidential election.

vigorous aud eloquent speech which was
loudly applauded on the Rel ublicaG side.

is OF chief prominence Ill Virginia politics,
and both parties in that State have repeat

lO3t'S speech aroused the fury of Wise
Democratic Represent alive from the
Richmond District who made speech the
like OF which was never heard before ex-
cept in Virginia Joint discussion" to-
ward the end of Il hot Virginia campaign.
To Say that Captain Wise screamed and
shrleked and that he threw his body into
every possible attitude is to draS it
mildly. The House laughed uproaronsy
and that stimulated him to still wilder
flights. Young Iost. slight, smooth
faced and nervous, had gone over to the
Democratic side, and he seemed to be
about the only man who took the mat
ter seriously. To everybody else it was
apparent that Wise was beside himself.

"order"-there was no order. When the
confusion was at its height, and when to
men who never saw a Virginia conven-
tion or attended a Virginia ''i.nt discus
sion" genera, fracas seemed Imminent,
" ise retired from the field.
What seemed to make Iost most angry
and Justly s0-was Wise's refusal to
give the votes cast for as well as against

casions. Next was Wises reference to
