RAvESswooD, W. Va, August 5.-The

ty stat and nominated the following
ticket: For House Of Delegates, Joseph
II. Brown and Dr.. ]. NJ. Carney; Clerk
Of County Court, George B. Grow
Clerk OF Circuit Court,.William G. Duer;
County Commissioner, George Romine.
Tho ticket Is not considered strong by
any meaus, and the convention was
boisterous and unruly, tho chairman,
DR.. II. B. Hoyt, being utterly powerless
to control It, although aided by "Bunt"
Mckown, OF Wood county, who would
mount q chair every i've minutes and
cry out, "order, gentlemen !" 4. l.
After tho appointment ofSdelegates to
attend the Fourth District Congressional

appealed to the people mot 10 do IT," as
he thought Mr.. Capehart entitled to the
SUPPORT Of jackson county. This riled
some of tho boys, who cried take him
down." ""pull him oil" etc. This action |
brought tears TO the eyes Of Hogg, aud
he dared them take him of, and kept
on with his harangue until he had
said his say. The convention at thla
time had every appearance Of. turning
into free for all scrap, but the boys got
cooled of and settled down, swearing
they were tired OF Mason county poll.
ticians coming to Jackson county to die,
tate to them what they should do. |
Jack Hamilton, Of Calhoun county,

Mr.. Atkinson has served his con-
