Following the adoption of the platform
was the roll call of counties for nomina
; tons. First, Bland county was called
Mr.. kegly, Of that county yielded to Wash,
ington county. Whcreupon Judge Hutton
took the stage and in an able. strong and
impressive speech nominated Judge W. +
Rhea, Of Bristol. for Congress. The trib-
ute which he paid to the character and
ability Of his friend was clothed in beau
fiful language, sincererely uttered, was af-
feeling and appreciated
Judge Hutton is r strong man, stands
high in the councils Of his party aud his
speech Yesterday is conclusive evidence of
a good reason.
This nomination was seconded by every
delegation. Speeches were made 10y II G.
j. Richmond, Of Scott county, Hon. John
VI. Guynn, of Smyth county, r. Walter
| DOtson, of Buchanan county, and John W.
Price, Of Bristol Mr. Price made short,
but pointed and pertinent speech, every
syllable of which was a diamond of truth
and especially appreciated by the conven-
ton as words from The home of out next
congressman.
The nomination was made by acclama-
ton. The chairman appointed Messrs.
Visor, Hutton and Richmond to inform
Judge Rhea Of the unanimous action Of
the convention. When the committee re-
appeared with him the convention and au-
Gience went wild with enthusiasm. Ban.
ners, bandkerchiefs and hats we're waved, !
the people yelled and the house roared, |
and when Capt. Joe WysOr Introduced him |
broke out again.
Judge Rhea's speech accepting the nom
ination was a jewel of thought. 1t was a
collection of the national issues between
the parties-the wrongs which are oppres-
ting the weak and feeding the strOng-a
terrible indictment Of the republic an par
y for the abuse Of the sacred trust Of gov
,rning. II such thing were possible he
more fOrcibly than ever before demOnstra--
ed his thorough ability TO care for the in
erests of his people and his intense SYM
,athy for our com non cause.
No man in that large and representative
udience doubts for one moment that he .
ill allow the banner of his party to trail Z
T that victory will fail to crown his cam. \
align for democracy. His speech was a
rand demonstration Of the fact that from :
he small country home can come the man
no by force OF effort, can surmOunt every I
bstacle of the position of leadership a
people. Y
During his speech the convention to a
an pledged him their answering fidelity
his effort to redeem the 9th district,
I'd at its conclusion wave after wave of
lthusiasm swept over the house.-Bris- Co
