over the poor EXAMINER" as one that was not. In
about half an hour, the bar of the Military and
Civic Hall, having received some addition TO its mem
bers, the company adjourned to the room appointed

babe that twenty more persons assembled in the
course of the evening" and miraculous to relate, not

stone, he must have been listening at the door near
by.
The following officers were then elected, G. w.
Matset, Chairman John w. Brown, and ". G.
Deidrichson, Secretaries.
The call of the meeting was then read by the chair
man, after which the minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved. 1t appeared that eleven
delegates had been chosen upon that occasion, and
That the remaining ordered TO be chosen at
the next (this) meeting.
The Declaration of Rights being read, to give those
present an opportunity of signing it who had not
done so before and one man having come forward to
afix his name, the business Of ballotng commenced.
One voter wished to know whether he might not
write his favonte candidates name down twice. 1t
would not do.
This business proceeded rather slowly.
"Come, gentlemen. be lively with your votes"
cried the chairman. Ultimately Messrs. Matsell and
Hunt were chosen.

which was pu, and carried

Hall Of Convention should meet together at an early
day, in order to fill any vacancies in the delegation
well as to make arrangements for their departure
from this city to attend the convention.

meet at the Military and Civic Hotel, on Monday
evening next Aug l4th, and that the Recording Sc

A member rose and said that they had waited upon
Mr. TalImadge and that he had promised to give
written answern day or two that he was now out
Of town, and had, as yet, not done so. The member
moved that upon receiving Mr.. Talmadges reply the
committee be empowered to call meeting to hear it
read.
Mr. Cookeyfair opposed the moton-he did not
think at all necessary to meet to hear the report Of
traitor.
