Fairmont, August 24.?It was evident 18 thiainornlng that Judgo Hoke lind the largest organized following of any of the !r candidates. The Judge, however, seemed ^ to be unwilling to allow his name to be presented, fearing Hint ho could not get mu uimiiiiiiinis aupjiuri 01 mu cunvvuuun. 3* The morning was spent ill canvassing the * situation. John W. Mason arrived on tlio ' early train from Grafton, and wua in eon0 ferencuwith hia friends up to tlio Uino of 0 tho meeting of the Convention. Judge 0 lIoko'H frienda refused to allow him to withdraw from tho race, claiming that tho u opposition to him was prompted by the , Greenback element, or rather the Kitchen il following, who wero trying to bulldoze ) them because) Hoke's candidacy killed the 1 i- Kitchen boom. I mention only these two 0 candidates for tho reaajn that the light was 1 narrowed down to them. TUB ASSBMHMNU OK Till'. CONVENTION. Shortly after 10 o'clock tho convention assembled in the Court House, and was 0 called to order by Col. Kelso Hodman, of Morgantown, Chairman of the Congress* ional Kxecutive Committee. Nelso took 'l occasion to say that the present time was the happiest period of his life, and exJ" pressed the opinion that tho convention had inet with a determination to nomin nato a good good man aud a successful uuiiuiuuiu. iiu nopeu we proceeumgs would be harmonious, and that the nominee, whoever he might be, would enlist the eordial support of every Republican iu 0 the district. Above all things, ho coun1 selled peace and harmony,' which after all 8 are the strength of all institutions as well l* as pol iticafparties. TKMITMtAUY CHAIRMAN. ' Mr. S. V. Yantis, of Jefferson county, ^ was named for Temi>orary Chairman, and on taking the chair he reiterated what Col. Hoffman had said, and added gome wellr chosen remarks about the party and its ope portunity to win this light *The tempor- ; ^ ary organization was further completed by the selection of J. T. Stanhagan, of Preston 18 count}*, as Secretary. In looking over the assemblage your correspondent could not ^ help remarking that it was a tine body of ' * men. About 200 delegates were present, threo of whom were colored, from Grant, Berkeley and Jefferson. All the counties were represented except Hardy and Pendleton. These, however, were represented by proxies. Iu a very orderly and e quiet manner the convention disposed of * the preliminary matters, such as the ap8 poiutment of committees, ?fcc., and ad^ journed until half past 1 o'clock. U. S. ATTORNEY FLICK. 11 Before adjournment Col. Tom Staggers l" arose and intimated that the convention ,r would like to hear from U. S. District At lL tornev Flick. The suggestion met with '* favor and in response to loud calls the ' genial nnd agreeable Flick said that it did him good to meet with the Republicans, but ^ not to speak. Nevertheless the 'portly and I good humored gentleman made some very pertinent remarks on the situation, and ' closed by saying he had a big secrot . to tell, which was that for the next ^ one hundred years the administration of the National Government would . be controlled by the Republican party. ,a The secret is out now, said Mr. Flick, and you can tell it to our Democratic brethren. II The wires or the compositor misrepresented my interview with J. Marshall llagans in this morning's issue.. What Mr. llagans did say In answer to my inquiry, as to whether lie was a candidate, was, "that ^ every rnau is liable to bo struck by lightning, but 1 haye no rods up." Justice, like the quality of mercy, should not be IH" strained, hence I moke this correction. Ah rtll Ul.N.NWl. L When the Convention reassembled thero J? was some excitement among the delegates vj over the report of the withdrawal of Judgo Hoke. 'Your correspondent had a talk ^ with him just after dinner, and from the tenor of his conversation Judged fbat he S was then seriously thinking of withdrawal ing from the fight. Ibe report wasveritied ca latdr in the afternoon, and Preston county, which had been waruily supporting him, went over to Mason and worked for him. It is hut simple justice to say that in all U_ probability Judge Hoke could have ohro taiucd the nomination had he staid on the d track, anil hi* decision was inllucnced enit tirely by personal reasons. 18 J'JEUMAXKST OUOANtXATJON. The Convention soon got down to work. 0{ The Committee on permanent organi^as tion reported the name of T.'K. Cuiukadou, n* of Mineral, for permanent Chairman, \V. ^ M. 0. Dawson, of Kingwood, Secretary, ?p and S. V. Yantia, Jr., of Jefferson, and J* J. J, Ilelze), of Morgan, Assistants. After d beinjf eucorted to the Chair, Mr. Cnrskadon is spoke briefly, expressing his profound >e gratitude for the honor conferred. He said w the present Convention the largest >f and most enthusiastic ho had ever looked id upon, and that lie was happy to yrect d them. "1 am happy to see you, because l- you are representatives of the principles ; eiiuuuiui'u uy uiu uumuiuu xjmiuiu, turn 4 of * Government of the people, by the a peonle a?4 for t)jo peoplo. It is .owing to Itt fidelity to those principal that to-day the Republican party rifles the greatest governid oieut on the earth, and it must be unswerf. >e ing fidelity to those principles in tlic future :o that will extend her ruin." Mr, Oarskadon :d made an eloquent appeal for the cause of n. common education of the masHcs, and said >y that ignorance was the great danger and u, intelligence the only safety of the country, us Ho closed bis very able speech with some nr witty references to the Keyser campfu meeting, whereat he said pandemonium id reigned supreme for two dnvs. The speech x- had a magnetic effect on the convention, h- and was received wiUi ringing applause. BESOLL'TIOSa. ,d G. Dayton, of Philippl, from the Comrt mitteo on Resolutions, reported in favor of ?*" the National platform adopted at Chicago in June, 1880. Tho report was nccomi? nauied by resolutionaof sympathy with the k country in the tragic death of Garfield, and endowing the administration of President in Arthur. The preliminary business having in been finished, the chaining announced that nominations were now In ordei*. *OIW$.yriON8?AN KLOQUBNT Sl'KECII. For a moment there was intense silence. J'resently a clear, ringing voioo in tlie back part of tho ball called out, "Mr. President." It was tho voice of Tom Staggers, of Marion county, aud after elbowing bin way through the crowd to the front the silver-tongued orator llred tho convention by an eloquent speech, nominating John W, Mason. In substance he said: "I am certaiu that the nominee of thin convention will be accorded the generous and united Hupport of tho Republican party; that whatever jealousies and'bickerings uiav have been engendered in the sun and dust of August will disappear beforo the cool breezes of October. There are many candidates here to day. From the number we must select a man who is the expouentof the liberal and pro* gressive Republicanism of Unlay. We want a man free from bigotry and prejudice, a man of broad und liberal news, a man whose sentiments are in strict accord with the' independent thought of the, times. The Republicans of the district want a l.Ml.tnp?J ?-? * ' v^uv. ?> iivi ?vi |>iion <ti>u vuivi |ii iac, u limn who will not idly whilonway the hours under his own vineand figtree wliilo the rural people hunger for the inannuof Republicanism. We want for our leader a Republican who luu) never yielded to the 6e<luctivc influences of 'policy; or bowed down' to a wooden gou. we want a man who lias sense enough to comprehend tho stirring ueeds of the hour; a man who will be u uredit and of use to us in the halls of Congress. 1 find all these splendid qualifications in a man with a big head full of brains and a big heart full of love?John W. Mason, of Taylor. Horn aud raised in the free air of the Allegheuy mountains, ho is a stranger to fear and hates hypocrisy with all the intensity of his nature. When the tocsin of war resounded through the Monongahela Valley, brave young Mason shouldered his musket and went to tho scenes of war regardless of hardship and danger and 8uU*ering. lie has never weakened or wavered in sunBhiue and shadow, in success and failure. With iron will he has Btood without flinching, lie is a man of unassailable personal character, a grand man to carry the banner aud will the light for the Republican party of the Second Congressional district. Mason's name was received with great enthusiasm, and A. G. Dayton, of Barbour, seconded the nomination in a brief speech. MIC. KITCHEN NOMINATED. Col. Nelse lloll'inan, of Morgantown, in an able and eulogistic speech, presented the name of B. M. Kitchen, of Berkeley. Kitcheu, you know, is a Greeubacker, but lloll'inan said he knew him as a Kepublican, and expected to vote for him as a Republican and elect him as a Republican. After Hoffman had taken his,seat lien Martin, of Marion county, an exponent of the Greenback element, arose and requested the privilege of addressing the convention in favor of Kitchen. Jle had got started on a lively speech, when lleUel, of Morgan county, asked him if he was a delegate. Martin replied that he was not,{but he had a complimentary ticket. The Convention indulged in a big hurrah and rciuacu iu recuuui/.e nia creuenuaia. U. Al. Shinn seconded the nomination of Kitchen, and gave some reasons why he should be nominated. JAMES I). UUTT, OF JEFFERSON', was handed over to the tender mercies of the convention by B. L. Keenan, of Monongalia, and liev. J. W. Dungee, a colored gentleman, of Jefferson, seconded the nomination in a speech that was voted one of the best made to-day. He is a finelooking man, and although his akin was dark his eloquence was white. He amused the convention by remarking that he had voted the Republican ticket for twenty-two years with one exception, and if he could be forgiven for that once he would never do it again. The Beethoven Bmile that spread over the faces of the delegates when he confessed his sin deepened into a loud Wajjneriau laugh at this earnestness in uiseiajming any intention 01 repeating tbe folly. T. D. Arnold, of Mineral, presented p. M. REYNOLDS, of the same county, and George Jlarmony, a pleasing name, of Grant, seconded tbo nomination. J. J. Helzel, of Morgan, in a very neat speech, presented tbe name of GKOKGE C. HTL'HOIHH, and was followed by Hawthorne, of Preston, and Major J. C. Fleming, of Taylor, who supported the claims of John W. Mason. THE FIltST 11 ALLOT. This finished the nominations, and the decks were immediately cleared for the first ballot, Chairman Carekadon preparing the way by dryly suggesting that if the gentlemen were not at)|e to remember the names of the candidates ho woijit) jjaye the Secretary furnish then) with a Ijat. After several delegations had consulted, the roll was called, Harbour responding by casting her solid vote for Mason. Berkeley followed with her thirty votes enrolled for Kitchen. The call proceeded without uuy incitement until Preston county was nailed, and }yjien Hawthorne. Chairman of the delegation, arose find sajd "Preston casts her forty-seven votes solid for J. \V. Mason," a wild cheer buret from the throats of the Mason men. The result of tbp ballot was Mason 119, Kitchen 55, Butt 32, tyeyijoJU? .-Jo, Sturgiss 21. The total number of votes cast was 2$}. which required 15jS to nominate." \Vhen the votn WPS announced some excitement was oamsioneil by a delegate jn the rear of thu hall crying out, ''Mr. tfhairnwn, f move that Judjre IJo^e be nominated by acclamation," He must have been i> wild enthusiast, for tho CJouveution promptly refused to do any such thins. When quiet was restored F. M. Reynolds, of Mineral, got the floor, and affer thanking his friends for the support they had givun him, he withdrew his name, and seconded the noflflnfltjou of Mason, in a very cordial speech. XJapt ?J. $J, Bubb. "of Grant, caught the attention of thp chairman and eijiil tbut as it was pretty certain Mason would be nominated on the next ballot, he moved that hu now bp nominate^ by acclamation. There waa opuouition to tliis, vhowever,Series of "ballot, ballot" be. ing heard from different parts of the hall. THE SECOND 1ULLOT was then ordered, and after two hundred yotcs had been recorded for Mason, J. J. lleUei, of Morgan, withdrew tho name of Sturgiss and cant the VflfP of that county solid for Mason. This brought out ringing u ileum iium mw luuycihiuu, WlllUil wuru increased iu volume anil power when C.

After the announcement of the vote Hetxel, of Morgan, moved to make the nomination of Mason unanimous, and the convention lost no time in doing so, supplementing it with ringing cheers that made the walls of tjje court houso shake. goyejjnor 1'ikupoint .

It was tho moat eloquent speech, without words, I ever liearu. Tho Govornor was about wanning up to Ills work whon tho Committee that had been appointed to wait upon Mason and inform him of his nomination, appeared, and ho gave way to the nominee of the Convention. Mr. Mason was RECEIVED WITH TIIB WILDEST ENTHUUIABM. Looking at him from whero I was Heated I could aeo that ho was deeply affected. Men of truly brave and courageous natures alwuyH uro when they are called upon to perform any high and responsible duty. In n voice {slightly tremulous with emotion he said that his embarrassment on this occasion would be purdoued when tho circumstances of his position were known. Ho auid there were times when words failed to convey the deeper feelings of man's nuture.and there was an eloquence in silence. He then launche<l out upon the issues of tho day, and presented*them clearly and succinctly. Tho indoj>endent voter, he said, is abroad in tho land, and his power and Influence aro felt; tho dead issues of tho past grow only us the moss on tho bucks of those who try to revive them. The Republican party presents itself ns the champion of the principles,that should be attractive to tho intelligence of tho land. It is in favor of every man casting one vote and having it honestly counted. It is in favor of elevating tho working man abovo tho condition of the serfs of tho old world. It is in favor of protecting tho industries of tho couutry and giving to tho toiling laborer something better for food than rats and rice. It is in favor of Preserving tho galaxy of States intact, and it believes that this country is a Nation nnd not a ropo of sand. These mottoes uro all inscribed on tho banner of the Republican party. I intend now to plant that banner on every hill top and vallev in this district, and return it with victory written on its folds. If, possibly, defeat should come, it will he ready for another fight. The young men of this district are aroused and are determinedIIY TIIK UKACK OK (101) TO WIS THIS FIOIIT. I We intend to "fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." Gentlemen of the Convention, I tremblingly and gratefully accept your nomi- i nation, and agaiu I thank you. The Convention was now in an excellent humor, and testified its satisfaction and exultation by enthusiastic outbursts of applause. The spirit moved Col., Seise i Hodman, and in his earnest, modest way , he advised all to go home and go to worlc, , and not sit down and think the battle won 1 because a nomination hud been made. The Convention again demanded to hear : the gospel preached by that eloquent Ke- , publican patriarch, GOV. PICItPOIXT. , The Governor, in response to these calls, , made a stirring address full of inimitable 1 ),i.mnr nn,l ..nn.unf Dnr...ia.? Un ..-no no I pecially happy in his description of the faults and failures of llourbonism. This virtually ended the Convention. ; And what glorious results crowned its work. ] How aptly do the words of Shakespeare , sum up the character of the candidate. "This was the noblest Roman of them ] all, and the elements so mixed in him : him that Nature might stand up and say to the world, "This is a man." * t The Convention was one of the most or- , derlv that ever assembled in the State. Its | conduct'was complimented by the Demo- , crats and its judgment endorsed by all , elements in the party. No harsh of dis- { cordaut action marred the deliberations of ; the body, which wus composed | of intelligent and representative men. What struck me with peculiar force was the j large number of young men who sat in its j councils and took an active interest in the { measures and questions presented. It1 is . certainly an encouraging sign that the . youth, the educated youth, of this State are identifying themselves with the fortunes of the great progressive Republican party of this country. IT MKANS SOMETHING. It-is looking into the futqre and gllflran: tees the safety of our free institutions and the preservation of the results attained to coming generations, The harmony that characterised the proceedings of the body that uict to-day is all the more worthy of mention from the fact that opinions varied widely as to the availability of the several candidates in the field, and when the convention as one man ifftYft itH aimrobation of the <;hoico. we could not refrain from humming in the ear of a Democratic survivor of U10 Keyser ' fight who was a looker-on in Vicuna: J "Behold hovr goo<l u tlilntC it Is, Anil how becoming well, Toguthur Sii-h a* brethren aro I Jo ?n|ty lq qiycll.'r- - ' j Mr. Mason said to your correspondent to-night that he was 1 GOING .RIGHT TO WOItK ] and would make nn earnest canvass, and , expressed himself aa confident of winning.

M. t Bennett, of Lewis, was reported as Per- \ maneutChairman; Will Brannon, of Lewis, uid Jjis. Rogers, of Ohio. Secretaries, and a ? Vice President from each county. Win. C. u fiandlan, of Ohio, was one of the Vice t Presidents. , Col. Wilson brought out theoil can and t ?poke of Bennett as a Jellersonian Democrat; a man honest, capable and altogether lovely. Bennett smiled.and again thelubriMitor came into use. Then followed more tall'v and very bad music. Ofcourse Bennett jaiil the honor was unexpected, but the fact is his son George had to be gotten out of the way. Hence Bennett's chairmanship, lie wanted everybody to go back, away back to ?/00(l old Domop.rnrin timna Tin !iad voted for forty years, and uever scratchid a ticket. [Great cheering.! But we must jo slow; there is danger ahead, but with prudence you can win. When Bennett withdrew, Newlou, of Lewis, moved that v reporters of Republican papers be pro- . viucd with scats on the platform. ThU . was opposed by a delegate from Harrison, but the question was decided in favgr of , Newlop'a iflotjon. L. S. Newman, of Marshall county, then I submitted the report of the Committee on } Basis of Representation and Credentials. Jackson's vote two years ago was the basis. The Committee on Resolutions not haviug reported at 4:{j0, Woods, of Ohio, moved to suspend the regular order and proceed to make a nomination. Kierans, af Lewis, objected tot his as undemocratic, und demanded a search for the committee. \ Democratic candidate without principles was not what people wauted. Newman, of Marshall, also protested, but on a vote by counties the motion prevailed. Newman then arose furiously and wanted to kuow if the Democrats wanted him to vote for a man void of principles? He would not do it!" ' A general engagement followed, and it became evident that Good would bo nominated without a platform. Wood stated that the last National Convention had nominated Hancock before [lie Resolutions with nrnsf?n??ul nn<! l?n? a was agood enonglr precedent. He wanted J :o save time. Newman sat down on H Woods by remarking that lie must he a 8 t'erv accommodating candidate who uould 1 it himself to any set of resolutions that ? night be offered. White closed the de- 11 aate, and upon another vote bv a. xjunties, his motion again prevailed. " Uhe roll of counties for candidates { vas called, and strange to say not one re- ' iponded, whereupon a delegate shrieked j hjlthe,?-j|s kIm)'fhpro tfnq none in. tho \ Convention willing to be candidates with- J* >ut a platform.
