The Congressional Convention O.
this, the thir zenith district convened
at Logan Tuesday the 5th inst, The
candidates began to gather upon the
grounds Monday, and when the sur
peeped from behind the beautiful and
picturesque hiiltops which surround
ihe homes of the Haw Eaters, the mul
titude numbered thousands. Specia
rates on the Hooking Valley aided il
swelling the great throng that had as
eembied tn witness one Of the greatest
aud most important congressional
conventions that has yet beeh held II
the state. When the excursion train.
from the north and south steamed in OF
the battle ground they were greeted
with hundreds Of delegates and thei
various aspirants for congressiona
honors. The main street presented one
solid living mass.
The town was beautifully and artist
cally decorated in honor of the gallan,
sons of Democracy of the thirteenth
district, as was also the convention

Referring to the course of the chair
man, the GAINESVILLE Signal has this to
cay
On the last ballo: Hon. II. r. Hysen
Perry connty's candidate, received lO4
votes, l5 more than necessary to nom
mate, but owing to the treachery OF
the chairman of the convention the
vote was held alter the last county on
the list had been called until the chair
man of the Fairfield delegation could
arrange to change his county from
Reeves to DUNCAN. When this was
done, nothing remained but for Jack
son to change her vote from Hysell to
DUNCAN, her own candidate, a1d W, en-
Vinton followed with her 20 Votes, Mr.
DUNCAN. was very promDily declared
the nominee. In some conventions it
would he dangerous for the chairman to
refuse TO have the choise OF the major
lty promptly announced. and it ought
to be dangerous in any convention, for
it seems difficult 10 imagine a greater
outrage TO ones Own party. Why an
honest man can be guilty of such an
Infamous act can not be reasonably
