The convention was called to order at ll'i o'clock, by M.

Riley, chair- mau of the county central cou mittee. Rev. Dr. Wallace opened the convention with prayer. Upon the conclusion of tbe prayer, Mr.

As the chairman knew he could not make a speech, he thought there was purpose in calling him to preside, to avoid a speech, so without further re marks, Mr. Eaton said he was ready for tbe pleasure of tbe convention.

Mr.

Warner diseussed tbe objects and powers of conventions and Legislatures, and said that the idea that Legislatures and conventions could be put chased to used for the benefit of personal interests and was ne-ver known until of recent years. He indulged in much of this kind of talk, much to the astonishment of harmony loving Demo-i crats, who hoped that the General would rorget for party' sake, the Legislative coal oil speculation at Columbus last winter, aud the shameful barter of Ohio's vote at the recent Democratic National Convention. The General went over the same old story about land grants, and mentioned iu a casual way the names bf Cleveland and Reform, without drawing from the audience any violent demonstrations of approval. The latter part of bis speech was taken with a labored defense of his course Congress, regarding the pension laws, which was an explanation that did not explain. Mr.

Warnerconcluded by saying that he would speak at other places in the county during the campaign, and ttepubluaD3 that the General will mase it convenient to speak jn ery scikmh district. NOTES. The Chronicle of last week diagnosed the Democratic situation exactly. Ths nominations were made bv Pease and 1 uliney townships combining-, and iu- unto tnemseives four out of tbe six noiui nations. Nothing mean about that cuainnau Ea'on made a good presi ding officer, and sat down with a heavy tnuo upon two or three individuals not delegates, who attempted to become prominent.

Maor Cooper's cause for tbe 1 nomination was in the hands ef Dump Sherman, a will kuown character, of Bellaire, and Johnny McDermott, Presi dent of Liquor Dealers' Association of Belovjnt county. They spent the night before the convention in Barnesville, advocating in various ways Mr. Cooper's ntness for Probate Judge. On Tuesday afternoon, a train load of empties on tbe L. W.

road. backed in apon tbe Northern railroad from, tbe Barton switch, and on the bridge across tbe creek, some of the cars jumped tbe track, and with great force struck ene of tbe trusses, demolish ing the bridge, and letting it down into the creek with foar cars un top of it. It is not now known bow long it will take to get the bridge up, but the L. wreck train was at work at 8 o'elcx Wednesday morning, ana expected to have the hridge as-near up as it can be placed without new parts, in two or three days. The Northern train was at tbe other end of the road, where it will have to stay, of course, until tbe bridge is trestled.

The bridge was a Howe Truss, and although it was a very sub stantial structure, could not withstand the force of a heavy train driven by a locomotive. Personal Mention.

Personal Mention. 19 to 12, Is Score by which the St. Clairsville Ball Club Defeated Barnesville. While we have never yet devoted any con siderable space to btse ball news, for tbe benefit of those readers of the who take an interest in the "National game.

we venture this week to depart for the once from our lule, which is to give scores of games wnicn are oi local interest without comment. While it would be impossible for us to be so egotistical as the Barnesville papers are, in peaking ot our nome ciuo, we will eay tnal our towa has always been noted for having a good ball club, and tne one ot Una seueon is said to be the best, or as good, as any ever here. -Oo a recent occasion, tne Harnesville club visited St. Clairsville, and on a wet. sloppy day, and with an umpire who was not posted on the game, and depended on tbe UaroeSviUe boys to mate ins decisions, tne Athletics in a partially played game, suc ceeded in makiDg 9 runs to St.

Clairsville' tf. Very little was tnougnt of tne matter here. but lo and benola! iortn comes tne Barnes ville papers wilb a lot of personal and sicken ing praise of their players, and abuse to ours: one paper beading tbe account of the game, 'at. uuursviiie's Borrow, 'ana anotner saying they had "yet to hear of a game St- Clairs ville had. won." To tbe nrst we will say tba while all take an interest and pride in our boys, our people thought very little about a half played game in the rain, and especially when satiMiea our eiuo wouia nave won had tbe game been completed.

To tbe second, we propose to tell of three games played since their boastings were printed. Come down off that egqtistical horse, set aside prejudice, aud read tne following -Friday St. Clairsville vs. Cadiz: score. 28 to 4, in our lavor.

Saturday St. (Jlairsvuie vs. mt. leasant; score. 45 to 2.

In our favor. Un boys went to uarnesvuit to play the Athletics, and they went full of confidence that they would win, as tbey Knew their 'club was composed of superior players to those in tbe Barnesville club. No one here had a doubt or feeling of uneasiness in regard to the outcome of the game. Arriving at Barnesville, they found that the Atheletics had already acknowledged their inferiority. as they had sent to Wheeling and engaged Miller, the pitcher oi tne neeung Regulars, and Wm.

George, the famous left-hand pitcher the Bellaire Ulobes, to belp tbem out. he Captain of our cluo informed them that tbey were wining to acanowieage tneir local team defeated, our boys would play against Ibeir imported players, but that they bad considered it a contest oeiween ine towns, and not between players that could be engaged elsewhere. However, the game was called wilh Miller as pitcher for the Athletics. The game was not an extra wen piayea one i either side as a whole, as fielding errors allowed the score to run up on both sides; but the St. Clairsville boys soon "got on to" tne imported pitcher, and in the fourth inning pounded him lor eignt runs, me ieaiurea oi tbe batting were, an excellent home-run lick Sherman Doyle ana two or tnree two- basers by Will Anderson, each bringing in other scores.

On the other band, the Barnesville bovs could Jo nothing with Collins' balls. having knocked but three safe bits in the entire game, and although having 13 runs credited to them, failed to earn a single one, as they were all made by fielding errors of the St. Clairsville club. We mirbt write of tne perpetual Kicaing, and mistreatment of our players, both by the RrnMri a club and other citizens, dui are willing to allow the Barnesville press to have mnnnnnlr nf Hint kind of reporting, as well as the sickening puffs to mediocre playing; we will have none ot it, ana tnuyu suujum the score by Innings, which will show as much as we can tell: 1 8 8 4 5 6 7 8 Btot'l 1 10 4 18 St. Clairsville.8 0 0 8 0 6 St.
