congressional Convention.

Wheeling Register 9th.
James Capehart, of Mason, athe
farmers choice" has been selected
to bind up the wounds of the De-
mocracy in the Fourth Congress-
ional District aud lead them to vic
tory this fall. The nomination is a
good one. The nomi..ee is gen.
tleman of stainless integrity, re-
spected citizen, a leader among his
people, sterling Democrat and
able representative of the great ag-
ricultur;il class that contributes so
largely to the Democratic vote in
West Virginia. The nomination
leaves not single heart burning
behind it. 1t represents the tri-
umph of no faction or no particular
set of men. 1t was made simply
because the farmers of the great
counties of Mason, jackson, Roane,
Wayne and Lincoln desired it.
And the majority of the convention
responded to their expressed wish.
AS was forecast in the Register
this morning, Mr.. Capebart went
into the convention with nearly
eighty votes. The assaults of the
other candidates on his Wayne,
Mason and Lincoln strength were
fruitless and he won the prize by.
the inevitable surrender of the
weaker candidate the Putnam
break coming, however, on the
fourth ballot, as was predicted.
The only attempt at combine
was made at the last, when namiI-
ton, although mastering full 35
votes, turned the majority OF them
to McCluer, in order to effect the
nomination of an upper district man.
That the division between the up
per and lower end of the district
was not marked is shown, however,
by the fact McCluer's staunchest
supporter was Gibson, of CabelI,
with nine delegates at his back,
while Capehart had strength in
nearly every upper end delegation.
Capehart and victory is the cry
tonight, and Capehart and victory
t will be in November.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1890-09-03

al ll:zo sharp the convention was
called to order by Editor r. f.
Horner, of Parkersburg, who made
brief and happy address, closing
with the nomination of temporary
officers as follows: Chairman, Hon.
r. S. Blair, of Richie county; Sec
retaries; Louis Barnhart, of Putnam,
and John knight, of Peasants. Col.
Blair was received with enthusiastic
applause and spoke eloquently, as
follows:
EeltoU- Democrats:
Allow me to return to you my
sincere thanks for the high and dis
tinguished honor which you have
seen fit to bestow upon me on this
occasion in selecting me as your
presiding officer.
| am not unmindful of its respoh-
sibilities, much less am | unmindful
of the responsibilities which rest
upon you, and each of you, who
have been selected from a pure and
bold constituency to name the next
member of the 52nd Congress of
the United States from the Fourth
Congressional District. /, therefore
counsel you in your. deliberations
here today that you keep an eye
single to the welfare and perpetuity
of those principles enumerated by
Jefferson, the sFather of Democ-
racy," adhered to by Jackson; advo.
Gated later by the illustrious Tilden,
and which were entrusted to, pre-.
served and held sacred and inv:o.
late by the vigorous and unfiinching
devotee of Democracy, Grover
Cleveland.
Need | remind you that the rights
of the people should never be com
promised, but that their devotion
to their common country and their
allegiance to the principles of De-
mocracy, should be held sacred and
