The Victor and the yanquished Responded
With Speeches.
After the nomination Mr.. Gill and
the defeated candidates were called
upon in turn and furnished an hours
diversion for the crowd by responding
with short speeches.
When Gen1 Hollingsworth rose to
speak he was given the closest atten-
ton. His manly figure and dignified
manner created an impression upon the
delegates. The general said he evil
IDENTIFY did not belong to the fortunate
class who are either born great, achieve
greatness or have greatness thrust up
on them. He spoke of coming out Of
the convention with "clean hands and
in paying a tribute to the old-time
politician of the district, said they
were to some Of the degenerate class
of to-day as giants to pigmies." This
was thought TO be an indirect slap at
some persons not a thousand miles
from the convention hall. Continuing,
he said, "Jno. R. Mclean is no novice
in politics and he can be met in the
coming campaign only by the united
strength of the party"
j. j. Gill spoke at some length upon
the responsibilities of the Office OF
Congressman. With regard to imper-
ialism he remarked, that the question
is not yet upon us. We must wait
until Congress meets and determines
the policy"
c. L. Weems, although hardly ex-
pected to be in a mood for humorous
effort, responded with much felicity.
He, too, dropped onto the question of
expansion and held if it is unconsti
tutional to acquire the new territory

J. ]. Gill, whose likeness accom-
panies this sketch. was born in Mt.
Pleasant, o., Of Quaker parentage, 50
years ago. One of his ancestors near
ly a century back operated the first
silk mill in the United States at that
place. He received a liberal education
and graduated from Ann Arbor law
school. He removed to Steubenville.
and was admitted to practice on Sep
TENDER 80, 1868. He was at one time
elected prosecuting attorney in his ma
tive county, but after serving his term
exchanged his professional life for
that of a business man. In 1872 he or
gained the National Exchange Bank
of Steubenville, and is at present one
of the heaviest stockholders and a di-
rector in the National Bank of that
city. He is owner of the Acme Chin
ney factory and has large mining in
terests in Michigan lie patented the
Gid glass furnace, upon each of which
he receives a royalty of $4,000. Mr.,
Gill is no orator, as he confessed be-
fore the convention at Martins Ferry

rather than to the cultivation of for

HANNA INFLUENCE


Evidently Back OF the NOmlnatlon or -. y.
Gill.
To one who has Studiously observed
the working of the Martins Ferry con-
vention during its three days session
there is justification in the assertion
that Gill was the favorite with the ad-
ministration forces. Not only were
federal officeholders on the ground
working tooth and nail for him. but
the swinging of the Carroll delegation
into line furnishes patent reason for
such belief. Fimple was hardly in the
race in good faith. He is too shrewd
man to have seriously cherished the
belief that his chances for nomination
were anything but the remotest. Mr..
Fimple was ready at any time to throw
his influence when it would be to the
greatest advantage to himself indiyid
ually His support was earnestly and
persiStently solicited by both Weems
and Hollingswopth only to be success
fully landed by the man from Jeffer-
son. The natural inference, therefore,
is, that Mr.. Gill had greater favors to
promise than either of his opponents.
If Gill had not been in close touch with
the administration he could not have
occupied this position. 1t is currently
believed that Mr.. Fimple will in due
time be rewarded for his service with
good federal job at Washington or else

His Withdrawal as a Candidate From the
Convention.

Convention.
The withdrawal Of Weems from the
convention was thrilling incident of
the day. 1t is hard task for any man
to surrender to an opponent, but when
hopes have been bouyant with the be-
lief that success is near at hand. the
effort is calculated to make the best
of them finch. The appearance of the
Belmont man when he stepped upon the
stage was calculated to arouse fellow
feeling even in the breast of those VINO
had been diligently seeking his defeat.
He was pale and evidently greatly de-
pressed. The lines of his usually com
posed features were hard set and the
evidences of motions within him strug-
glingCor expression were plainly visible.
His speech however, although slightly
interrupted by the battle to suppress
the deep feelings kindred to sigh, was
we'll put and appropriately worded. He
said:
MIR. Chairman and Fellow Republi-
cans OF the Sixteenth District: | came

hands over the result. l have made the

lest. / viii now relieved this strained
