When the ten o'clock sun was pour
ing his eGulgent rays down on the
Camp Grounds and Prohibition AS
sembly hall at SIoundsville yesterday,
one would not have judged from tho
outlook that state convention OF u
political party was on the eve OF con-
vening. The attendance was not large,
but those present displayed much
earnestness.
CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
At ten o'clock the First congressional
district convention was called to order
in the children's tabernacle. Rev. +.
n. Lynch, Of Wheeling, was male chair
man, and I. NJ. Barnes, Of Lewis county
secretary. In order to expedite bust
ness, it was moved that e. NJ. Barnes,
of Lewis, be made the nominee OF the
convention by reclamation. The mo-
ton prevailed and Mr.. Ba1nes was de.
clared the nominee. The convention
was in session but few moments.
The following congressional commit
tee was appointed: Hancock, A. II.
Robinson; Brooke, E. L. Perry; Ohio,
b. .. Hoff; Marshall, V. A. Weaver;

STATE CONVENTION.
At 1880 the regular morning services
at the assembly hall were closed, and
after fervent prayer by Rev. Mr..
Mead, that gentleman stated that affairs
were now turned over to D. D. johnson,
chairman OF the state committee OF the
Prohibition party. Chairman johnson
in opening requested all desiring to
take part in the work of the convention
to come down front, and on suggestion
Of delegate he added that ladies were
included in the invitation. Rev. Mr..
Lynch then led in prayer, thanking the
Lord that it was not necessary to lay
aside our religion to go into politics,
and saying that it is fun to live to work
for God and prohibition.
Tho secretary OF the state committee,
Mr.. Cartwright, was asked to read the
call for the convention, but he did not
seem to have copy OF the call with
him, so that part was dispensed with
and the chairman announced the tenn
porary organization as arranged by the
state committee rs follows: Chairman,
7. r. Carskadon, Of Mineral; secretary,
J. B. jackson, OF Lewis.
NIessrs. Burt, OF Marion, and Beck,
Of Ohio, were appointed to escort the
temporary chairman to the stage. He
expressed his thanks for the honor and
his qualification at the evidence of con.
tinued confidence. He probably had
in mind his fragrant hirtations during
the past year with Peoples party, Alli-
ance party and several other political
organizations. He was not unmindful
of the fact that he was chosen by repre-
sentations OF great party, o clean party
that representatives of Christ feel proud
to be in. He called upon the delegates
to hold tenaciously by party. because it
is important to have machinery to give
expression to our sentiments and
principles. We admit that we
desire the formation of party,
and we have It in the Prohibition party.
Prohibition has no organization to
stand by 1t. He spoke at length of the
outlook for the party, and urged pa
thence in backsets and discouragements,
rs victory may not come at once. He
hoped other elements coming into the
Prohibition party would be sCrutinized
closely and considered WE'LL We should
not lose sight OF our cardinal principle
in order to catch the masses and make
our party attractive to them. Refer
ring to the work before the convention
he said the party had plenty OF good
men; that it was not dependent on
Blaine nor Cleveland.
