Found Dead.

Capt. r. II. Mccormick, we'll known
citizen of Ronceverte. was found dead in
tho stable of Col. Jno. Driscol, who lives
on the road leading from Ronceverte to
Lewisburg on Wednesday morning last. He
had been in town the day before apparently
in the best of health and spirits. and no one
dreamed that the dread summons was to
come within a few hours. He was stopping
with Col John Driscol, and on Tuesday
evening accompanied Col. DriscOl to Rom
ceverte, where the latter was to take the
train for Charleston to attend the RepubIi-
can Congressional convention-Capt. Nc
Cormick to take the horse and buggy back.
He remained in Ronceverte until after a
lodge meeting of the Odd Fellows. of which
order he was member, and then returned
to Col. Driscol's. arriving about midnight.
From the surroundings and the testimony
adduced before COroner's jury it was evil
dent that he was engaged in stabling the
horse, had taken off the bride and had the
harness partly off when he was stricken
with apoplexy and dropped beside the ami
NAL dead, where he was found the next
morning Three sons and three daughters
survive hlm-two of the latter, Mrs. E. H.
Camp and Henry White, whose husband is
the president of the pharmaceutical board
of W. Va. He was we'll known in Poca-
hontas county and IN Lumber circlesithrough-
out W. Va and Penn.

THE CONVICTION CONVENTION.

AS a place for the meeting. the Inter
mont Hotel" was grand success. The
idea Of holding the convention in the hotel
proved as happy as it was unique. The
room was large, we'll ventilated. and acous-
| tically perfect 1t was neatly and tasteful
ly decorated. There were only three pic
lures. bnt these had been selected with re-
markable judgment. being the portraits Of
the three most distinguished democrats now
living, Bryan, Lee and Dewey.
The convention opened at lively gait
and kept lively until the finish. There was
nothing tame about it at any time. The
night session continued to increase in inter-
est and excitement until after day break
when Quarles was nominated or the eleventh
ballot. Perhaps a hundred speeches we're
made, not counting points" of all sorts.
The genuine Tuckahoe is a born politician.
and an orator. He was present in force.
and was heard from. But he is a gentleman,
as we'll as politician, and orator, and, while
vehemently eloquent, he was always cour-
teous, where so many good speeches were
made it is. perhaps, not wise to single out
particular one; but it is no disparagement
of the convention was made by Mr.. Thos.
Whitehead. of Amherst, in seconding the
nomination of Flood. The way he did skin
Augusta and Rockbridge 1t was great
joy to the other delegations. and they yelled
with delight The drnbbing he gave US was
so severe that some of US began to squirm,
but the castigatlon was so exquisitly ad-
ministered, and so richly deserved, that we
took it with becoming resignation. Mr..
Whitehead declared Augusta county the
most peculiar people; that they always
claimed the nomination. when they couldn't
get the democratic nominee they took the
Republican nomination, and they elected
either one He brought out the fact that
Augusta gave Tucker about 800 majority in
1894, but In SO when the nominee was not
an Augusta man the majority fell to 200.
When he turned his battery on Rockhridge,
the Augusta delegation suddenly arose from
their state of depression. and enjoyed the
picnic as much as anybody. Mr.. White
head did not forget to mention that In 1884
Rock bridge gave Tucker $50 ma jority, while
two years later, when the democratic nOmi-
nee was not a valley man that county turn
ed their 250 democratic majority into Re-
publican majority of 700 for Mckinley and
Yost
The convention closed in the best of feel
ing and good fellowship. 1t was feared that
bad results would grow out of the bitterness |
that characterized some Of the proceedings. |
But the nomination of Quarles was accept |
ed by all parties as happy ending; and the |
nomination was quickly made unanimous
with enthusiasm. No nominee ever had a |
better send off than the convention gave
Quarles. Let Augusta and Staunton see to |
it that he gets an old time democratic ma
jority in the county and city of 1000, at least |
