tbe camnaicp beartily. and asking his

the campaign heartily, and asking his
friends to work with him.
The motion to nominate by acclama-
ton was carried with regular roar,
and then there were cries Of "Pendleton"
from all over the hall. Mr.. Pendleton
sat on the platform, and in response 70
the calls he made brief speech OF
thanks. He said If God granted him
strength no would carry the flag. OF his
party from the north end OF the dis
trict to the south end, aud he thought
it would be crowned with victory:
He told OF the big meeting he ad.

said New York would DO true to Grover

FOR ELEoroR.
For district elector Mr.. Kidd, OF Gil
mer, nominated NJ. B. Post, Of Harrison
county, making very good speech Of
eulogy. He asked the convention in
Infinite mercy" to give the south end OF
the district a little recognition.
Colonel Arnett seconded the nomlna-
ton, as did a Tyler delegate.
Then Mr.. ]. A. Wood, OF Wheeling,
moved to make the nomination by ac-
clamation, nnd 1t was done.
Great cries for Post brought the
young man to the front, and he was re-
celved with much enthusiasm. He
made rather ford speech about retri.
button on an unprincipled party, and
things like that.
This finished the business before the
convention, and a delegate suggested
that the meeting adjourn to the court
house yard, so that all could hear sena-
tor Faulkner speak in comfort
The convention adjourned and a large
number OF people rushed up to the
platform to shake Mr.. Pendleton and
Mr.. Post by the hand. Tho former,
particularly, received decided ovation.
After the convention adjourned the
new executive committee met and Or
ganized by electing F. p. Jepson chair
man, D. A. Dorsey secretary, and w. 7.
Campbell treasurer. A provisional
committee was also appointed.
SPEECH OF SENATOR FAULKNER.
Owing to the unusually large crowd
and the heat in the hall, it was sug-
gested by delegates that the speech Of
Senator Faulkner, instead OF being
made in the hall, should be delivered in
the court house yard on the shady side,
and this was done. The crowd, how
ever, was not so large as it would have
been in the hall.
The speech was interrupted at one
time by q fight OF huge proportions,
which originated in a Jest, and in
which nearly dozen men were in
volved in two seconds. Rocks, fists
and clubs were used. One man had his
face badly cut, another's oye was gouGed
nearly out, while third had his leg APP
parently broken. At any rate it was
so badly hurt he could not walk. An
othcr man had his watch mashed. One
arrest wns made.
Senator Faulkner devoted most OF his
attention to showing the beauties OF
free trade. He referred briefly to the
claim that Republicans had "coloni0ed"
the state with colored votes in 1883, and
expressed the hope that Hon. 6. W.
Atkinson would be the nominee Tor
governor at Huntington.
Senator Faulkner left on the evening
train for. Parkersburg. Mr.. Pendleton
and most of the prominent people came
up the road on the next train.
New Martinsville, as usual, hospita-
bly, opened her doors to tho visitors.
All were well taken care OF.
John Minkemyer, of Ohio county,
was the moving spirit in lots OF fun
Just before the train left. He made
several speeches, and tried to get less
distinguished orators to do likewise,
but they refrained after hearing his
moving eloquence.
