II FIRST ENTHUSIASM.
Tho morning session was short and
cold. Tho convention was a puzzler.
There was5no enthusiasm, no anything
to give q key to tho situation. So it
continued until Mr.. Weems warmed up
in his subject, and no warmed tho
crowd. Applause frequently inter-
rupted him, and his many happy points
were well received.
DR.. Armstrong, Of Monroe county,
earnestly seconded Colonel Poormnn's
nomination, and was heartily APP
plaudcd. u,
Mr.. U. G. Deford, OF Carroll county,
in n logical and forcible speech, nomi-
mated Judge William Mccoy, OF that
county. He said his nomination would
settle like a bencdiction upon the
troubled waters OF tho Sixteenth Con-
grcssionnl district.
Judge Pierce, Of Cadiz, named Con.
David A. llollincsworlh. Judge Pierce
was at once greeted with enthusiasm.
He made n very judicious and candid
nominating speech, giving all the can
didates credit for ability and fitness.
Flo was particularly hearty in his
culogy Of Colonel Poorman, with whom
he served in the 0Sth o. V. l., the regi.
ment, Judge Pierce said, which put
down tho rebellion, with Il little help
from outsiders. Judge Pierce's speech
was something rare in such oratory,
and as effective rs rare.
Jefferson being called Hon. John NJ.
Cook arose on the stage, and there wal
a burst Of applause which showed that
he was in tho house OF his friends. He
nominated x-Lieut. Gov. X. G. Richards,
in one OF the best speeches OF the con-
vention. Admitting what was said for
all others, no said he wanted 10 en-
phasize all by saying Mr.. Richards was
the peer Of any OF them. He claimed
that it was jefferson county's turn to
have the nominee and the congress-
man.
John A.. Bingham Wood seconded
the nomination.
