A murky eky and little rain occa-
hionally did not dampen tho ardor Of
the Republicans at Moundsville yester.
day. Their Congressional convention,
which met in the court house there, WAS
large and representative body, and n
great many distinguished outsiders were
present rs lookers.on.
The convention nominated W. r.
Hubbard for Congress on the first ballot
a result which was surprising only be-
cause.ot the ease and psompti,ude with
which 1t YVES reached.
The convention WAS 80 harmonious as
to make the Democratic spectators hearts
ache; aud with more reason to consume
time than the Democratic gathering OF
Wednesday, it was through in about an
hour less time.
The Wheeling delegation had pretty
good luck. Tho accommodation train
on the y Il O., on which most OF them
went down, was only IN hour and fifteen
or twenty minutes in running the eleven
miles, which is faster thsn the average
man can walk that far. at AIoundiville
the train WAS met by McConkey's band,
and the Ohio county and other dele
gates who had spent the night here,
were escorted to the court house.
That Moundsvilic band has very
peculiar way Of making it's music signiti-
cant, Yesterday morning it stood out
in the rain ard played, "ln the Sweet
Summer Time, Long ago."
The court house DECORATIONS remained
as they were on Wednesday. except that
instead OF tho paucity Of picture, there
were
TAsTEFULLY DISPOSED PORTRAITS
OF I.innolp, Garfield, Grant, Harrison
and Morton, Atkinson and God; q large
picture OF Lincoln and his cabinet and
another OF the old log cabin, reminiscent
OF two memorable and triumphant
campaigns.
The main new feature OF the decora-
tions, though, was the name Tom REED
in great golden lettere, and two hands
pointing Ut it, jnst over the Presidents
chair.
The Ohio county delegation caucused
at the Mound City Hotel, with Capt @.
J. Rawling as Chairman and Col. Hugh
Sterling as Secretary. A motion to give
to the district delegations the proper
ticpa,e voting strength Of each in max.
ingup the county vote, was defeated af-
ter warm discussion.
IT was 1850 when Chairman Maxwell,
OF the District Committee, called the
convention 10 order, and named G. W.
Farr. of Doddridge county, ss Tempora-
ry Chairman, and o. S. Marshall: OF
Hancock, rs Temporary Secretary.
These selcc;iens were heartily ratified.
Mr.. Farr was greeted with applause.
He thanked the convention for the
honor, and predicted that the Wetzel
county frauds would not prevail this
year against the minority which would
bo rtlled up. Under the leadership Of
Thomrs b Reed, OF Maine lGreat cheer
ing the National Republican party is
ready to do battle for its principles. The
Republicans OF the first Congressional
district have their armor on, and pro.
posc to put man in the field as their
standard bearer who will meet this mau
they call John 0. Pendleton, to his hearts
regret. (Cheera. There can be no
doubt that the district is fairly aud
sluarcly Republican. [Applause.] The
convention is ready for business.
