WALKERS NOMINATING SPEECH.
Nominations then being in order the
roll OF counties was called, and when
Berkeley was called Mr.. Ste art Walker,
OF Martinsburg, placed in nomination
Hon. William l.. Wilson. Mr. Walkers
speech was q remarkably tlowery effort.
He was bitter In his denunciation OF
Speaker Reed and the Republican ma
jority in Congress, which he said was
tyrannical and revolutionary, and II al
lowed to continue in its present course
would sink the country into the bottom
OF hell. After an appeal to the preju.
dice OF The members Of the convention,
he nominated MIR. Wilson as the man
who would undo the awful wrongs that
have been perpetrated. Mr.. Wilson'S
name was greeted with loud applause,
but it was not prolonged.
RAY MAKES THEN LAUGH.
When Monongalia county was called
T. P. Ray arose and with voice that
penetrated the entire building, said Mr..
Chairman: II simply wish 10 say that
Monongalia county seconds the nomi-
nation Of Hon. W. NJ. Wilson, OF the
United States OF America" This was
greeted with loud applause and laugh
ter.
Preston county also seconded the
nomination and on motion OF Mr..
Walker, of Berkeley, the roll call was
suspended and Mr.. Wilson was nomi.
mated BY acclamation. Considering the
smallness Of the convention it made
great deal OF noiso in consummating
what everybody knew would be mat.
ter Of course. Messrs. 3. D. Gibson, G.
E. Wells and Wood Daley were ap.
pointed committee to wait upon Will
son and escort him to the convention
hall.
SAME OLD SPEECH.
In few minutes the committee re-
turned with their charge, beaded by
brass band. Mr.. Wilson's appearance
was greeted with the usual enthusiastic
which continued until he took
his seat on the platform. After deaf
ening air by the band, Mr.. Wilson was
introduced to the convention and made
the same speech Of acceptance with
slight variations that the same delegates
have listened to three or four times be.
fore. He WAS in happy mood and
spoke eloquent}y for about an hour, aud
was listened to with rant attention, and
at the close was loudly cheered.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Wilson's re.
marks the chairman introduced General
member OF Congress from
Mississippi, who Mr.. Wilson had re.
ferred to as the ablest lawyer in the
House, and who, he said, he had brought
from Washington to talk To the people
Of the Second district about the so.called
force bill.
A MISSISSIPPI ORATOR.
General Catchings is charming
talker, but not being an orator of the
fiery type, did not keep stirred up the
enthusiasm which had been created by
Mr.. Wilson. He was here, he said, to
denounCe the libels on the South and to
say there was no need of tho Lodge elec.
ton law. The bill, he said, was an in.
famous one, and was designed to per.
petuate the Republican party in power,
and the people will rise up in their
might and overthrow tho conspirators
against their liberties aud their peace,
Not word Of Argument on any Of the
Issues Of the day was uttered either by
General Ca.chings or Mr. Wilson, unless
bitter appeals to party prejudice can be
called argument. At the conclusion Of
the Generals speech the convention nd.
