est friends an aSpirant for political posi-
ton ever had, accompanied MI. John w.
Churchman to the stand and gave him an
appropriate introduction. Mr.. Churchman
made a short address, admirable in spirit
and modest in it's character. He said defeat
would make no change in his loyalty to
Democratic principles, or his activity in
support of the Democratic ticket. Here
and now, he placed himself at the command
dates, for any campaign work they desired
him to do. No matter where it was OF what
it was, he should always be ready. In con-
Guiding his speech, which was much ap-
plauded, he thanked those friends who had
supported him, with warmth, and said he
was particularly grateful to his South
River friends and neighbors, for he would
rather have the support of the South River
delegation-his home-without the nomi-
nation, than to have the nomination with
out the support of South River.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Col. J. d. Lilley, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, reported the follow
ing, which were unanimously adopted:
1st. Resolced, That we have received the
nominations by the late Democratic State
Convention of Phil. w. Mckinney for Gov
ernor, j. Hoge Tyler for MISUNDERSTANDING,
and X. Taylor Scott for Acknowledgement
with entire satisfaction and appreciation, that
we recognize in the trio, irreproachable char
acters, fine ability, conservative in their poll
teal opinions and fully in sympathy with the
masses of the Virginia people, in all that con-
trlnutpS tn their nrOSnpritv and Oanprol
fare. That we believe that their election to
the high Offices for which they have been
named is essential to the safety, peace and
happiness of the people of Virginia.
2nd. ResOlped, That we recognize in the
nomination of William Malone by his party
for Governor, the harbinger of fierce strife,
violence and probable revolution, as indicated
not only by his past history, which is record
of conflict, arrogance and passion of the most
tyrannical and insutferable character, over
his own followers as we'll as towards his OPP
ponents, but by recent announcement in the
press, of a deliberate purpose on the part of
himself and followers that if they have any
reason to believe from the reports made to
them by their watchers at the polls that they
have won the fight they will establish their
own separate and distinct government at Rich
mond, thus to provoke by conflict of authority
in the State government, collision, bloodshed
and attempted revolution.
;5rd. Res0l0ed That we will use our best
endeavors, by lawful means to elect McKin-
ney, Tyler and Scott. by such triumphant
ma iority that the Malone cabal will skulk
to deserved obscurity, to give place to better
men to lead the Republican party in honor
able and patriotic contests between citizens of
common country.
The Chairman, Mr.. S. H. McCue, who
had most effectively filled his position amid
some parliamentary disagreements which
at one time threatened to produce much
excitement, then declared the convention
adjourned.

MARKETS.
VINDICAToR OFFICE

STAUNTON. VA, Sept. 5.
The Philadelphia Record in its review of the
wheat market of the country for the week end
ing last Saturday, says "Wheat prices adj
vanced "a cents per bushel early in the week
in consequence of bullish manipulation en-
couraged by misleading reports of the short
age in European crops. The returns OF crop
yield in the various countries that were made
to the Vienna Grain Congress were said to in
dictate deficiency in the worlds wheat sup
ply for the coming year OF something over
200, 000, 900 bushels; but the figures were so
widely at variance with estimates furnished
by other authorities that they were generally
discredited; and as the week wore on, and
foreign markets and foreign orders failed to
respond to the bullish crop reports, prices
sagged off, and at the close yesterday were but
q of cent per bushel higher than they were
at the same time last week. The statistics of
production in this country and in Europe, as
compiled by generally accepted trade author
tiles, indicate but little if any deficiency in the
worlds wheat supply for the coming year.
The Cincinnati Price Current says that the
shortage, if there be any, 'fwill be quite I'M
important, while the quality this season will
average decidedly higher than it did last year
with increased flour-producing merit" The
interior movement of wheat has been moder-
ate, as a result partly of a holding policy on
the part of farmers and partly owing to the
fact that they are busily engaged in gathering
in their crops. The export movement of wheat
has been largely in completion of old orders,
as comparatively little new demand has been
presented during the week. ...

pany, as he had proposition to lay before
them for the building of one. The Council

The ruling price for sound, winter-cut,
dry oak wood has been $50 per cord.
The Chronicle.
In Mineral Point the ruling price for
for dry oak wood has been $3.50 per
cord, which, while it is not very much
to brag on. is a good deal better than
$3.50 per cord. If the farmer who sells
a cord of dry wood for $3.50 will deduct
from that amount the cost Of hauling
the wood to market, and q reasonable
sum for the worth of the raw material
and for holding the stock over a year,
from what then remains Of the $3.50
he can come petty near knowing what
princely high protection wages he
earned in cutting it.
Just think OF a man who sells dry
cordwood for $3.50 voting for a bounty
of $500 on a thousand feet of rough
lumber! Is there any reason why the
lumber manufacturer should be given
so much protection, while the ord
wood manufacturer is compelled TO
scratch along without any protection
