old couplet:
Tills Is tlic way I Ioiir havo sought,
And mourned because I found It not."
Mr. Guod lias found tlic way he has 8

"If at tirat you don't succeed, try, tr
again," will have a new local inspiratioi
for all our school boys. The boys will thin

logical doctrine of "final perseverance" wil
also receive a friyli boost iu tho estimatioi

congratulate our townsman on this mic

his large vote (ahead of his tieket) when h

Politically, as a matter of course, Mi

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

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

nomination, the only couuty remaining
out in the cold being Berkeley, She gtill
held her thirty votes for Kitchen. 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.

being in Uio Convention, jQi^d calls wero

his kind, veuereble face beaming and
looking like Moses wheu he came down
from the Mount* ho stood for uomo
moments silent, while perfect joy illumined
his countenance, lie broke the spell
|;v exclaiming. "Just look at me I" And
stretching forth his hand In au attitude
that just as much as said, "Bless you, my
childreu," the Convention caught the con
tngion of tho Governor's spirits, and tliov
mado tbo welkin ring xi^ivin and again. 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

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

"""^r whij-W...;
chairman that noble, patriotic and devoted
statesman from Harrison, Col. lieu Wilson.
Tho announcement was received with
sowe enthusiasm, although hut only half
of the delegates were present. Col. lieu
had been selected for thin, honor for au
obvious purpose, namely, that ho might 1
decline the nomination in advauce, The 1
chair selected for the uso of the presiding ,
ofllcer was borrowed iroin Bud Dawson, a |
burly salooukeeper, so that tho convention i
had a true Democratic basis to begin with.
Wilson was brief, and and pointed in his 1
remarks, and his defense of the River and i
Harbor bill, and also hie statement that he
had worked and voted for tho . interests of
Union soldiers, who had barod their breasts 1
to preserve the Nation, and also for free ed- i
ucation; &c., fell very Hat. He committed <
himself squarely to tho doctrino of protection,
but afterwards modified it by stating j
that manufacturers should be protected as
far as possible without detriment to others. ]
lie said lie < had frequently been 1
in' conventions, but not as President, (
and that lie' was not familiar
with such,olficts. He ugain returned to i
the River and Harbor bill and declared ]
that the Republicans offered them that ,
bill or nothing, and that the great produc- i
iug power of the Utile Kanawha must not '
be stopped for a matter of twenty mil* ]
lions, and so on. j
Will Brannon, of Lewis, and Jos. P. \
Rogers, of Ohio, were temporary uecreta- 1
ries?The various committers were then {
ip pointed. Turner Harrison is on the
CJommittce on Resolutions. A disturbance
is brewing. r
Atl p.m. the convention took a recess until I'M0.
The committees met for consultation at ^
the Court House. All went easily except with :
the Committee on Resolutions, which had
11 fearful fight and delayed the reassembling t
until nearly four. Then Col. Ben called *
the convention to order and the Commit- *
lee on Permanent Organization Reported. 1
GEN. WHITE, or WHEELING, J
ivas Chairman of the Committee. .T. 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. The mistake was enjoyed *
lugely by the Convention, but Gen. White J1

cd Uood, Ills ppceph wflfi the ;m'o8t too- '}
oo owe of school boy elo^uenou over j1

ion, and "spoke of there being but one
sindidate as a happy sign.
Davis, of Harrison, corrected Wilson and a
aid the Demoeratc purty had many sticks
