Nominations were then declared In
order by Chairman Thompson. When
Cabell county WAS called, Hon. Gordon
Oberne mounted the platform. His ap.
pearance was greeted with great cheers.
He began by saying he had come for.
ward to nominate the next representa-.
tive OF the Fourth district in Congress.
West Virginia Is to-day Republican. II
is no longer tho fart that Democratic
nomination is equivalent to an election.
THE MAN WHO BROKE THE ICE.
1tis SO in the Fourth district, and the
man who broke the leo we are going to
nominate to-day. prolonged applause
aud cries OF "Go it, Oberne."l Mr.,
Oberne continued for ten minutes de.
nouncing the Democratic party and elo.
quently eulogizinS the great Republican
party. Mr.. Oberne'a reference To his
own conversion from the Democratic
faith created wild enthusiasm, aud when
he mentioned Hon. G. B. Smiths name
at the conclusion the big convention
broke loose, and there was then !ittls
doubt what the result would be.
When Calhoun county was called II.
Q. Luckney seconded the nomination OF
Smith amid great cheering and waving
OF hats and handkerchiels. When Jack.
son was called Hon. George j. Walker
mounted the stand, and Ia an eloquent
speech, in which he said in the Ian.
guage OF Abraham Lincoln tits a poor
time to swap horses when We are cross.
ing the stream," seconded the uomina.
ton OF Smith. His happy allusion to
Gol 3 election and the action OF the
Democratic majority Of one in the Leg
islaturc caused the widest demonstra.
ton, and rs he passed down the aisle to
his seat there was rush to congratulate
him on his speech. Lincoln county was
called and W. W. B,ker seconded
Smiths nomination amid cheers.
MESAGER NAMED.
Mason county being called, W. II.
Howard placed James B. Menager IN
nomination in speech which was an
elegant presentation OF the deserts of his
champion. His mention OF Mr.. Meua.
gers name provoked considerable ap.
plauee. While not so enthusiastic as
that which greeted Smiths name, it
none the less demonstrated that the iIa
son county candidate had a strength be-
yond that predicted by his opponents
before the convention met. Capt. John
a. Gibbons, also Of Mason county, came
forward. Capt. Gibbons is an old man,
who cast his fret Republican vote for
Lincoln. In speech full Of elCquence
and witty illusions, which never failed
to bring out cheer, he seconded the
nomination OF Smith, thus showing that
Mtnagers county was divided against
him. Aslin the case of all the other
speakers, Gibbons reference to the
tive" business provoked great applause.
Among the hits he made was that Smith
deserved the nomination by every prin-
ciple OF right. ''Some say why don't
Charlie Smith ask for the nomination.
Why, bless him, he would be coward
il he did. 1t is our duty to 90 it any
how. Nominate Charlie Smith and
Mason county will give him fiye hun
dred majority" Tremendous cheering,
and voice mo sne wont" answered by
several, ''yes she will."]
DID NOT SPELL THAT WAY.
On behalf OF Peasants county I. N.
Boss said that his people did not spell
twelve with three letters. His county
was solid for Smith. John X. Thomp.
son, OF Putnam county, on behalf OF his
people, seconded Smith.
When Ritchie county was called S. S.
Stewart seconded Menager's nomination.
He stated be was like others, he es.
teemed Smith, but understood he was
not candidate, and he (S,ewarO had
pledged himself to Menager. lie made
a iorc:ble speech in behalf OF the Mason
county man. Loud calls were made ior
Senator p. W Morris. Cries were made
for him to go on the platform, but he
declined. lie said he hai no speech to
make. Others had completely wiped
out the Democratic party, but with all
due respect to the former speaker,
Ritchie county was practically unani-
nous for G. L. Smith.
Roane county was called. Mr.. Kelley
in ilowery speech, which created tire.
mendous enthusiasm, said Roane was
solid for Smith.
,, When Wayne wGu called, delegate
said Wayne was in favor Of the nouiinee
whoever he was. T. \. Brown, OF Writ,
said Writ was for the standard bearer in
the last campaign. Wood county was
called and Hon. A. L. White epoke in
, behalf Of Smith. He said ho would
sooner Gee Smith defeated il the interests
OF the party could therebj be subServed
but he believed it was for tho good Of
the party 10 nominate Smith.
DID NOT SEEK THE HONOR.
"Smith was opposed to accepting the
nomination, and so WIS his family. The
question was, however, will you nomi'
nate him, or will you do as the Demo
Gratis did TO Judge Nun Jackson, brand
him as unworthy your couildence"
II. @. Showa?ter made happy com
