At this point Sprigg, of Hardy,
came into the tight and this
caused a great debate and a i>erfect
Tumult orConfnvion,
in which Baylor of Jefferson, Creaap,
Smith, Holt and others were all talking at

The Court house was jammed at 2:20 this
afternoon, when the Convention reassem
bled. It was noticed that the Lucas men
had carried out their threats made before
dinner, and had not returned to their seats.
The place occupied by Jefferson county was
entirely blank and deserted. Vacant places
were noticed in other delegations, this crea
ted much excitement and comment. The
chair at nounced that nominations were in

The nomination was seconded in a short

said it was merely au assumption to say
that the Jefferson delegates hid withdrawn,
as he learned that they were holding a
caucus, and ii was his opinion that they
would be present He believed that they
would not only be present, but would par
ticipate in the proceedings, and support
the nominee. He said be had been in the
same unfortunate position of the candi
dates who expected to come before this
convention. At one time he was a candi
date against Judge Hoge. He. Martin, got
the nomination and the 1 >emocracy gave
him as

a» ever was givtn to a candidate. On an
other occasion he waa pitted against an
other lierkeley candidate, Hon. ('. J. Faulk
ner, and be had to acknowledge that the
distinguished gentleman got away with
him on that occasion. He returned to his
home west of the mountains, and he and
hia friends gave Mr. Faulkner ai
loyal support as he had received from Berke
ley and other eastern counties. He would
Mnpport «be Xomine*

and all his efforts would be devot«d to hla

Mr. Pnnonsarrived from the caucus of

The Ctuur then appointed the Sergeant

delegates who were absent proposed to re
return and take part in the Convention.
Mr. Morrow moved that the Convention
proceed to vote, at t« n minute*. past three
o'clock.
The sargeant-at-arms returned and report
ed that the l.ucas delegations were in session
and organizing another convention in an
other ball, and would not return. While
wuiting for the expiration of the time. Judge
Woo«W entered the convention. He said it
had been apparent to him frum the begin

Convention which had determined
T« Kale or Bala.
He had hoped these men would have acted
otherwise; he was tor harmony but he was
also for right and justice. He hoped the

The Chair announced that he had received

would not return. The counties ware than

be would do the same and come hack to the
Conrention and join in the nomination of
some other man. Hoge's nomination was
then made unanimous amid wildest en
thusiasm. Hoge was sent for and was
received with wild applause. The follow*

J Oder Uoce'i Speseta.
'•I receive with unaffected emotion this
renewed evidence of the confidence of the
Democrats of the Second District. I appre
ciate most sensitively the honor which
springs from a trust so important as that
r)u now confide to me. but at the same time
comprehend the obligations which it. im
poses, and I pledge myself to the employ
ment of every effort and energy necessary
to their full discharge, so far as miy be
within my power. My brief course in Con
gress is before you: 1 leave it to your fair
judgment, venturing to make no plea as to
its merits beyond the claim that in every
act and vote I have sought to promote the
interests of my constituents and of my
State. To this I may add a word more. No
man ever had truer, more generous, more
ardent friends. I would be an ingrate not
to acknowledge their devotion. God knows
I feel it with a sensitiveness not easily
framed into words; but with this expression
of my estimate of their relations to me, I
must couple the assurance that the action
of a Democratic convention estops all bitter
ness or animosity which the conflict and
contest*may have aroused. 1 bear no mem
ory from this hall which is tainted by an^lit
of resentment. I go into the campaign be
fore ine with no feelings that are not in per
fect accord with Democratic integrity and
unity intact and unbroken, because the im
portance of these two grand characteristics
of our party rises far above and beyond the
ambitions and |>assions of the hour, and
connects itself with the present and future
interests of the people. In the presence of
motives like these, few men
can venture to speak or think of them
selves. With an earnest expression of my
thanks, of my sense of the obligation and
duty, and a renewed pledge of my devotion
to the cause whose success we all believe
is essential to the public welfare, 1 ex
press my grateful acceptance of the nomi
nation you have conferred upon me."
A motion was adopted instructing the
Chairman of the Convention to appoint
five gentlemen to constitute the Democrat
ic Oongreseial Executive Committee for the
didtrict, and after the usual vote of thanks
to the officers of the coovention and dele
gates of Kryt-er, th« convention adjourned.
What They Any.
Judge Morrow Bays the western counties
wilt give Hoge their usual Democratic ma
jority.
tien. bprigg says Hardy will come up
with her usual .majority for Hoge.
Flourny, another Hampshire man, says
there will be no bolt in that county.
Mr. Dyer pledges a full vote from Grant
for Hoge.
The Hoge men are quite jubilant and
seem to fear nothing from the candidacy of
Mr. Lucas. They claim that the Democrats
canuot be induced to vote indirectly for
for the election of a Republican Congress
man for this district.
Nearly all the delegates left for home on
the evening train.
. The I<uca4 men are enthusiastic, and say
they wil. stick to their man if the heavens
fall.

The following gentlemen were then ap

A committee of three will be appointed
by this committee to prepare an address to
tile Democratic voters of the district. The
a.»sembUge then adjourned with an enthu
siastic endorsement of Lucas.
What LnMhfi
The RxmsTKR man interviewed Lucas. He
said that he would send a communication
to tbe State Executive Committee stating
the cause of his withdrawal from the con
vention. He denounced the action of the
Hoge men in forcing a permanent chair
man on tbe convention, and says his
rulings were arbitrary and partisan
throughout; that calls for a divisions were
frequently made, but not listened to, and
finally, when the vote on the majority re*
port of the Committee on Credentials was
put, tbey called for a division and ths
chair would not consider it, but declared
the report adopted on a viva voce vote.
Lucas says he then refused to submit
longer to such treatment, and his follower
withdrew from tbe convention. He claims
that on a basis of the Presidential vote he
would have had in the convention from ten
to twenty more than a majority.

PrrreacauH, August 12.—The Officers of
the Amalgamated Association bare not yet
1 eturned from the Chicago Convention, so
I hare had no opportunity of ascertaining
the truth or falsity of the many rumors
that have been set afloat regarding the pro
ceedings of that body. The strike still con
tinues, at all erenta, and ita effects are be*
coming more noticeable every day. Aboat
half the men one rueeta iu certain parte o{
the eity show in their'elr
clothes that they have been oat of work
for many weeks. If the inside of their
hoxnes could be seen the evidence would
be much more convincing.
The Town of .VrKecsport
was all excitement yesterday over the re
port that a gentleman, representing a Chi
cago firm, had arrived in that place In
search of about one hundred workmen.
The report, as it reached this city, was that
the Chicago agent offered to pay thf 16.00
scale, and wanted none but Union men.
Yonr correspondent took the frouble to
personally investigate this story, and fouad
that there was no foundation whatever
for it
The attempt to run the
HrIIomI Tube Works
with non-union men has been entirely suc
cessful. Yesterday there were orer live
hutidred men at work, and the qpmpany
exptcts to have twice that number before
very long. In order that this may not be
misleading it should be said that the ma
jority of the men employed in the tube
making department of the works proper,
before the strike, were non-unim men.
Manager Flagler says that he considers the
work turned out fully equal to chat pro
duced by the union men and reports the
company as
Well NAtlftfled.
The disposition upon the pari. 01 tne
more hot-headed strikers to molest the
non-union men. was nipped iu the bud by
the prompt action of the town authorities,
and for several days past no violent dem
onstrations have been made. The company
seems determined to protect its workmen
and itself to the fullest extent, and to that
end proceedings have been commenced
against six of the ring-leaders of the strik
ers, charging them
With Coti»plr»fjr.
The affidavit of the prosecutor recite*
tliat tlie defendant, in convention with
others not meintioned in this suit, followed
the employes of the Company to and from
their plate of employment, menaced them
on their wav by threat*, called them "black
sheep," ha-liahed at them, and called them
viie names; that the Company was forced
to keep a large force of police to protect
men seeking work; that the defendant not
only encouraged others to menace and
threaten those going to work, but instigated
tl eir wives and children to follow Hender
son, slincox and others to their place of em
ployment; ami that they, the defendants,
conspired, co-operated and agreed to pre
vent those willing from going to work, and
by means of threats made succeeded in
working who wt?e wiflinffto^(IcfsoThai Thfliy
been sate and unmolested, by reason of
which the Company suffered great damage.
The Trial
of this suit is looked forward to with much
interest, as settling many points that have
long been in dispute. The conspiracy laws
of Pennsylvania have been changed so much
of late that it is a very difficult aiattes to
define exactly what words or acts consti
tuted a conspiracy. The men were arrested
and promptly gave bail for the appearance
in SepUmoer.
The Rmolntioa
passed at the Chicago Convention allowing
the puddlers and nailers to fix a five year*
scale, is not very favorably received among
manufacturers, as it is now understood by
them, they do not feel disposed to enter
into any tiveyear arrangement. Said one
gentleman to me to-day:
"It would be the beigbth of folly for us
to sipn a five years scale now. It is very
true that there is much force in the argu
ment of the association that a five years
scale would do away with the almost an
nual strikes we have now, but there seems
to be more weighty arguments on the other
side just now, I understand that the asso
ciation would want to make
The Vive Tear Seal*
on the $6.00 basis. Now when we have so
stubbornly .refused to sign that scale for
one year, we would scarccly sign it for five.
Again, on general principles live years is
too long a term for an agreement of this
kind. There are too many contingencies.
We are almost certain to have another
panic before that time elapses, and even if
that doea not come, ao one can ,tell what
may."
A well known member of the Amalga
mated Association, one who wits oppose J to
the present strike front the start, is author
ity tor the statement that the passage of the
five-years' scale resolution mean#
A C'MaproMlae
between employer and employe. He thinks
that it was passed in order to leave a way
open for the Association to accept an hon
orable compromise on that basis. 1 know
not what private information members of
the Association have received from Chicago,
but many of them claim that*the strike can
not Inst more than a few days longer. Why,
thev refuse to say, but still, with an air of
mvstery, assert that what they say is true.
The manufacturers on the other hand just
as positively assert that there will be no
change unless the strikers meau
To Back. Down.
A preat many reports have been put in
tin ult.tion to the effect tluu the Wharton
mill would sign the scale and resume ope
rations to-day. Although they have not
yet .started and disclaim any intention of
doing so, the Association workmen still in
*ist that the mills wil»"t>e in operation within
a few davs. Almost all the prominent man
ufacturers arc out of the city now, as are
the officers of the Amalgamated Associa
tion, so that it is very difficult to obtain auy
authentic information to-day.
The ItMfo
are not much cheered over the latest newi
in the mining world. The New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Company, employing
1,000 men, and whose mines are located on
the Pennsylvania & Allegheny Valley Rail
road, hare just given notice that the price of
mining will be reduced from 4 to 3£ cents.
It is said teat similar redactions will take
place in all the railroad mines. This re
daction was brought about by the action of
the operators in
ledarlac the Selllag Frlee
from 7X to 6?£ ceota per bushel. The
operators were almost compelled to reduce
prices on account of the very light demand
since the mills have„bo«n closed. Pittsburg
ha* not had cheaper coal for years than she
has now, and many persons are taking ad
vantage of it to lay in a winter supply.
The last ray of hope that the striking
miners in the Panhandle region may have
bad. must now vanish, or else a eeneral
strike must be ordered all over the district.
The miners throughout thia reg'on are
greatly axerciaed
Over the Oaileelu
▲ general convention hu been called for
Migost 15 th consider the situation of af
fair* and to decide whether to submit or
order a general strike. It is altogether
likely that the former course of action will
be adopted. The Labor Tribune of this
morning, in its minerscolamn, says:
."This resolution (of the operators) reduces
the price of co*l to the mills and factories
to accent mining basis, and if it had
been passed by all theoperators last spring,
at or be fore the red action was offered, thi
long agony of this lock-out weald hare

opinion to-day, that-the price of coal would

that then the miners would l>e paid 4 cents,
so they may get their reward after all.

Special Dirpatch to the RegiMer.
Washington, August 12.—Under the
general law the Postma/iter General is re
quired to readjust the salaries of postmas*
ters of the first second and third class
every two years, basing the compensation
upon the business of their ofiicaa for the
preceding year, ending March 31st The
compensation for 1382 lias been completed,
and postmasters of these classes will be
paid at the new rate from Ju\y 1st. When
the compensation is under $1,000 post
masters are called fourth class, and receive
their appointment from the Postmaster
General. Above that they become Presi
dential, and are rated third, second and
first class, the latter receiving from $3,000
$1,000, the latter the largest rate allowed,
except by special enactment.
The pottal service of a town, district or
State is one of the most sensitive indica
tions of i|s business, and from this stand
point the figures become interesting and
useful. This table shows an increase of
revenue, and consequently the increase of
postal butiness in the larger towns of Ohio
of 7.14 percent., in Indiana 4.55, In Ken
tucky 4 33. and in West Virginia of but
.55, a little over one-hslf of one per cent as
compared with the adjustment in 1SS0.
There ape but ten PostofHces in We 4 Vir
ginia that are Presidential offices a:id can
therefore not be taken as furnishing onclu
sive indications of the business gro.vth of
the State. They will, however, sen e for a
comparison with one another and doubtless
furnish a pood standard of the relat ve bus

POINTS FROM WORKINGHCW FIELD.
8f*rial Oorrerpcmdence of tV Sundap Rfffittrr,
Cihciwati, August 12.—The seaaation ol
the week Id Cincinnati has been the third
matrimonial adventure of Mr. Fre&Haasau
rek, editor of the Volksblatt, the leading
organ of the Republican Germans in> Ohio.
At least Hasaaurek ia entitled to an equal
share of the notoriety growing out of the
remarkable epistolary exhibitions by the
ancient, but amorous, ' Gojenior'' Morton,
conspicuously to the fact that Mr. Hasaau
rek himself ia a marrying and much married
man. The tender mtoivea, as your readers
wall know, were addressed to Raaaaurek'a
divorced wife. It remains to be said that
this waa Mrs. Hasaaurek No. 2. Mrs. Has
aaurek No. 1, also divorced, ia living some
where on the other side of the mighty deep,
unless die baa recently died. Mr. and Mra.
No. 2 Hasaaurek seemed to be "neck and
neck" in the race for new matrimonial alii
anoee until the publication of, the Morton
letters exploded one of love's rather antiq
uated dreams, and gave Hassaorek, mascu
line gender, the pole. Just as Mrs. Haa
saurek's bleeding heart was hung up for
cruel public inspection, her ex-husband
was united in marriage to Mrs. Marshall,
nee DuBois, and the newly-wedded pair
immediately departed for Europe.
Fred HMMirMk
is celebrated for going to Europe at mo
ments when changes in party politics make
editing exceedingly embarrassing for him.
Hia German Republican constituents are
now nearly all on the Democratic side, on
account of the complications of the liquor
question, but. of course, there are great
principles involved in tb<^ campaignjou
which it is not so easy to flop, and he flies
the field, leaving a hired man to ride the
two-horse act. Like nearly all "statesman"
editors, Hassaureck is a goood dtal of a
humbug. He hadn't half the influence he
is credited with, and is hardly up to tbe
perpendicular standard of common moral
ity in America. He is a kind of a free
thinkers and freebooter in political economy
and social views, and doesn't seem to bare
any great respect for the social instations
which even wicked people of this commu
nity hold sacred. Still, he is a man of fine
education and distinguishing literary at
tainments. Some critical, perhaps hyper
critical people, regard hLs intellectual force
as phenomenal when considered in connec
tion with hisanimal propensities. Although
not a handsome man—not even good look
| log—tad bearing tbe frosts of fifty winters,
be ia much distinguished a* a lady's man.
His new wife is a lady of only moderate
comeliness of face, but imposing of form.
Her eyea are almost on a line with Fred's
fore top, and she ia the heavier of tbe two.
If this marriage should prove no more
conpatible than the other two, I think the
lady will be able to knock Fred out oue
round, Maroufs of Qdeensliury ruTes. Mrs.
Hasaaarek No. 2, by the way, is a petite
woman, and not half so beautiful as the
gusbiug writers have represented her to be.
Mr. Haasaurek has been very tender and
attentive to bis new wife. He is of an af
fectionate and forgiving disposition. 80
must she be. The city papers, in giving
accounts of the wedding, have been nig
gardly in information atout tbe bride,
though she was long known as a distin
guished member of one of the most widely
known households in Cincinnati.
The Sporting Praterally
of the Queen City is unusually active, pos
sibly in anticipation of the Exposition,
though the commencement of that event
is still three weeks off. The gamblers are
always rampant in Cincinnati, and as the
quiet citizen elbows them on Vine street,
no wonders how soon the wrath of Provi
dence will make that thoroughfare a scene
of devastation; not that all of tbe sports
deserve violent denunciation, but the gutter
professionals make great headway in drag
ging down the whole gambling fabric.
There an at least two hundred men here,
all of them well known to tbe detectives
and police and half of them.well known to
people ordinarily familiar about town, who
are professional gambler*, and who make
no pretense of having any other means of
support. This include* professional poker
players, faro dealers, cappers, ateerers, 1
'•buaea" swindlers, etc. Many of them are
*qaarer lot a large number of them are only
prevented from cutting throats for money
t>y physical eowardise and -the majesty of
tee law, which asserts itaelf when the blood
runs, but is not effective for tha protection
of a "gilly's" pocketbook. There is caste in
the fraternity, ef course; and there are
many men who make tbeir living at card*
who-woald acorn the "skin" process, and
who areas bitter against tbe low-down fel
lows as anybody could possibly be. "Coal
OH Johnny" has almost a monopoly of tbe
straight "truro" business in riacianati at
thi* writing, but be is conspicuaa* and nn
• dor the jealoua eye of the "copper," aad
isn't probably getting rich. This Is not
tbe "Coal Oil Johnny" of Pennyslvania no
toriety— the chap who got rich in a night
and speat his fortune so laviahly. It is an
other "Coal Oil Johnny"—how he got the
name deponent saith not—woo is almost as
widely known as his namesake. He looks
like a very common "duffer," not the man
to handjo a Charles Frand* Adams or a
Dona Piatt. He has tolerable success with
Kentucky corn-crackers and Indiana hooi
iers. Ttie regular gamblers do not do all
tbe gambling. It wonld not be easy to
crsw the thotisands who ramble for pae
time or as a side iseue to tn* regular busi
ness. The regular fraternity rail these
thousands "producers." Many of the pro
ducer* are as keen as tbe gambler* them
selves, but a majority of thean are suckers j
who haven't sense enough to see that they
arebnylngthe clothes aad drinka for the
professionsls who make such a fine display
on the most freuuented thoroughfare*.

miners duly represented in the assembly,

thousand men under its jurisdiction. Ths
printers are oonapionoua ia the aaaamiy,
snddomuch toward giving it intelligent
direction. It is a rather amreeaive element
in politics, when the woiklngmen are di
rectly concerned, and has on aeveral oo
casiona done much to ahape results. The
workiogmen, through their organisations,
are understood to be on the eve of making
an inspection of the State ticketa; but they
will take greater interest in the county
tickets, which will not be nominated for
some weeks to come.

Ben Butterworth hu returned, and U
trying to talk hit constituents blind on
every topic except that of beer and Sunday.
He is afraid of that. Turn touag ia more
courageous. He is out and out against the
poeition of Foster and ths Republican par
ty on the temperance question.
Senator Tendieton is coming home short
ly, and the understanding is that he will
remain here to keep down* any looal senti
ment that may ariaa agaiasl htm oo account
of his civil service reform project.
John F. Follett, formerly Speaker of the
Ohio House, and who was the temporary
chairman of the Democratic State Conven
tion this year, ia nearly aure of a Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in this
county. Itaac M. Jordan is in the lead,
so far, for the Democratic nomination in
the other district.
Ben Butterworth will probably be nom
inated by the Republicans of the First dis
trict; but Tom Young will have a stiff
fight with ex-Collector Amor 8mith in the
Second. Smith is working the forom of
the revenue and poetottlces in his own
favor.
The brewers here are beyond question on
the Democratic side, and anxious to help
the Democratic ticket. Conservative Demo
crats, however, do not want the association
accompanied by too much ostentation.
The recent new departure of Governor
Foster bos left the impression here that
be has given up Hsmilton county, with
its two Crngressmen, and is going in to
win in the volume ofjhe State.
