If this Couyresa leaves Washington

tin- tteonlp demand it will not be the fault
of the President. Ho pointed the way;
CVjagresa will do well to walk therein.
There is an encouraging disposition
among Hepnblicaris of this city to place in
nomination' citizens of high character.
City servants ought to he such men, and
the beat way to secure them is to nominate
them. ?. ^ ?
It wan unfortunate that the resolution of
the special railroad committee whb not
prtucnted in proper form; but the suggestion
it contained is bo reasonable and
politic that the Council will hardly go
against it. Dukes
has had his revenge, if that is
>liat he wanted, and now the wife and
right children of Captain Nutt have their
irreparable loss to mourn. The murderer's
ballet does not stop where the murderer's
victim falls.

Teresa Sturla has not lived in vain. 8he
has observed some things and madea note
of them. Wherefore she looks forward to
the stage as a field of action after she
shall have served her year of imprisonment
for killing Stiles. She would draw.
It is Mr. Alexander^ misfortune to
belong to a party which blows cold
for iariff in tariff districts and liot? for
free trade in free trade districts. With all
ilia accomplishments Mr. Alexander-would
not he able to buck and "gag a free trade
Democratic cause?should so laudable a desire
enter his mind.
Now behold the sympathetic Alexander
seep copious crocodile tears over. ,tjic
several candidates whom it was not convenient
to nominate all at once. If most
anybody else had been nominated it would
have K'lveu him pleasure to withdraw in
favor of that great and good man, and it
would have been the same if any one else
lmil been named. There is much Democratic
virtue in that sort of an "if."

and the personnel of the convention
admirable. The leading men of the* party

and a liner body of men of similar
number is seldom withered for such-a pur*

the Democratic convention u week before
could not but be struck with the difl'erent
appearance of the Convention when assembled,
and the dillereutspirit manifested
by the delegates. ? '

In the Noble county delegation, which
occupied the other side of the hall, were
also many prominent Republicans, and the
delegation as a body Waa pronounced one
of the' finest in the hall. Behind it was
Harrison county, which, us is always the
ease,, waa represented by its ablest and
most prominent men: - j 1
The Guernsey delegation sat in the rear
of Jefferson, and contained many faces
familiar to spectators at the St. Clairsville
and Burnesville conventions. Among
themrwere' the (venerable Coloiiel Hlr Bl.
Buahfield, the oldest ex-member of Conovaai
i!n. Ihn rliotrii't' iPftlnnol \ nr?uwnn
whose voice kept up the monotonous song
"Guernsey, thirty for Taylor," at St.
Clairsville; Professor y>. K. Gooderel, several
years ago Superintendent of the Bellaire
Bchools, arid numerous others of equal
prominence.
The remainder of the lmll was tilled withinterested
spectators,'and the number of
these from other places was a matter fre-1
quently commented on, and was significant I
of the deep and general interest throughout
the district in the result of the convention.,
The forenoon session did not last - long. I
A disposition was shown to get to the real!
work of the convention without the customary
recess, aud it was for this purpose I
that the motion to have the committees re-!
port at once was made. Bafr this was soon
seen to be impracticable, and the conven-1
tlon toolcan houtto dine, and\atford the
committers a chance to deliberate in peace.
Upon reassembling Chairman Cook,* who
Had already shown himself to be:an" efficient
and well-informed presiding officer,
found occasion to exercise his ingenuity as
the numerous motions to amehd'tjjie report
of the committee on order of'.business, to
reconsider and to table were made in quick
succession. Finally he called LieutenantGovernor
Richards to his aid, and by the
use of his experience and knowledge kept
the proceedings out o/ a tangle.
THE NOMINATIONS.
No time was lost in getting to work alter
the committee reports were once out of
the way. Cupt. \V. M. Farrar, who placed
Col. Taylor iu nomination, was a sensible
choice for the purpose. Ilia commanding
presence, good voice aud graceful stylo of
speech do much to win favor for any
cause. Ca'pt. Farrar ia one. of tho most
prominent Republicans of Cambridge, but
went to St. Louis several years ago and embarked
in journalism, lie returned about
a year later, and .has since been identified
with the party in his county, aud is favor

nomination . resides on a fatal near Martini
Ferry, and also bractices law in this
city. He was formerly a Judge of a Mis-Biouri
court and is regarded over the river
as a rising man. Though not formally
named, before the Convention, many
friends arged his claims to the nomination,
and in the event of a dark horse having
been desired he would have been named*?
The enthusiastic applause which greeted
the name of ''Private" Hollingsworth, and
Dr. Todd's referenoe to him as a man who
"fought for his country throughout the war
without straps on his shoulders or striues
on his arras, showed the presence of the
soldier element in force.

Bpoke us follows: !
THE CHAIRMAN*'# SI'kix'II.
Ok.sti.kmkk oh tick convention j?For i
the ho nor conferred upon me and my J
county by the Congressional Committee, in i
selecting me to preside tut Temporay Chair- 1
man of this convention, I desire to express t
my thanks. *J S ? <
I esteem it as a very high honor, for in J
looking over this large Conventian, and in* f
to the laces of the representative men from
the live counties that compose the old Six- 1
teenth and present Seventeenth Congress- 1
ional district, I (eel assured to-day, no mis- f
takes will be made. [Applause.] t
Never in the history of our party were I
higher responsibilities, and at the same c
time grander opportunities presented, than l
are cast upon us at this hour. I
Hardly have tho noise and bustle of the k
late political conflict passed away?through r
the removal by death of tho Representative f
from these Congressional districts,(the I Ion. I
Jonathan T. Updegratf, that honored citi- g
/.en of Jefferson county?than we are again r
called upon to cuter the jjreca. C
That the late conflict .was disastrous to
the Republican party, it is useless to disguise;
but that that disaster did not arise j
from the inherent strength of the oppos- y
ition or weakness of our own party, is cou- r
ceded,'but from dissensions in our owu i
ranks caused by unwiso and too zealous r
advocacy of.the interestsof particular lead- j
ers. It is now liieh time that the party v
should call a halt in this suicidal policy, c
and when that halt is called the Republi- v
can party, by a single stroke, wUl'regaiu s
all it Has lost. [Cheers.] 'j
By an unforsecti and unexpected Provi- 8
dence, that duty has devolved upon this t
Convention. The candidate we put in v
nomination to-day should receive an c
overwhelming majority at the election on
the Second of January. The whole State, t
yes the whole Nation, is looking to us to- v
day. The people?the", people of the lie- j
publican party?demand that these untug- e
onismsamonif th6 leaders should cease, j
I fee) confident in saying that there will 8
not be a single name presented' to this."
convention- but what -the party i
can rally around as a standard bearer.
Then, my fellow-citizens," whoever is so- ^
lected, let every personal and individual E
consideration sink out of sight, and while r
the work of reconciliation and good will r
goes on in Pennsylvania, let the shout go r
up from this Convention, as of one man, c
'To your stents, 0 Israel," and in t he (
coining contest', the lirst after the disaster, j
we will show the ?tate and Nation that the
grand old party which we have been
taught to love-rthe party of Lincoln, of (
Grant and of GartieUl, still livea iu the af- v
fections of the people. [Wild applause.! j,
I now declare the Convention opened A

Mr. Brown, of Guernsey, moved that the
candidate .receiving a majority of the votes
cast in this Convention be declared the 1*

caused more discussion, some objecting f
that it was an unsurpation of the duties of
