Mr.. Williams moved tina. the convention now
take an informal ballot for candidate for congress
Mr.. jackson SAID he came here with delegated
powers he was responsible 10 those who sent him
for bis action here, ana it was dnc to them tina,
they should be allowed TO see how he voted lie
therefore moved that the convention vote r,ra roce
instead Of by ballot
Gov. Wells moved to lay the motion and amend.
meHt on the table.
Dir. Cook called for a division Of the question {;
but finally the motion to lay OH the table pre-
vailed
Mr.. jackson moved that tho convention now
take recess Of one hour to enable the committee
on resolutions ut the end Of that time to make
heir report. Lest
Nr Williams moved that the committee on re
solutions be instructed not To report until after
shall have been made
Mr.. jackson moved to amend so that there
should be no nomination made until after the
on resolution should have reported
DR.. Miller urged the propriety Of adopting re-
solutions before making u nomination He said
there would in all probability be number of bal.
lettings. IN the progress Of which there would be
much feeling engendered, and ii would be found
in the end that, unless the resolutions were adop.
ted beforehand, the convention would break I'D
without adopting any.
Mr.. Peck said the delegates had been sent here
to make nomination not 20 pass resolutions.
The latter were well enough and proper in their
place, but he was opposed 10 delaying the busi.
ness Of the convention for the sake Of afford
ing certain gentlemen, outside a. well IA inside,
MI opportunity to take up time that could be bet.
ter employed, in inficting on the convention their
new tangled notions.
Mr.. Smith spoke at some length and with much
in favor Of adopting resolutions at once
Il would take the committee but shnr, time 10
prepare their report and he was in favor Of taking
1 recess to enable them 10 do SO without delay.
He said if this convention adjourned without adcp-
ting any resolutions, aud withou: distinctly rccng.
nzing, in those resolutions the Jefferson ord.
nance OF 1877, they might as well make no nonli-
nation.
DR.. Eg.n replied He said al this talk nlou,
procaming our principles, &c DC, was very beau.
titul but he could see no necessity for putting
ot the more immediate business Of the convention,
to get at the resolutions. He was opposed to q
'NNes' W. S'lc OtiltHt VI TtCtsstr. tcfl-
tlemen had come here with one idea in their head,
and they though, every thing should bend to that.
He was opposed to all one idea systems He
was for steam when steam was necessary, and en-.
lionel when calomel was needed. There would be
plenty Of time to pass resolutions They were in
no hurry tn get home. They had no half price
tickets on tho rail road to compel them to return
by the first train.
Mr. Hoyne followed much excited, becoming
frequently personal in his remarks. and creating
considerable "no,-e and confusion"
Nc was briefly replied to by Dr. Egan. after
which the amendment Of Mr.. jackson was lud on
the table, and the original motion adopted
Mr. Williams moved that the convention now
take an informal ballot for candidate for congress.
Mr. jackson moved M amendment 40 that the
delegates vote rird voce instead OF by ballot, and
demanded the yeas and nays on his motion, which
resulted in yeas ~. nays So.
So the amendment was lost. The original mo.
ton was thea agreed to, and the convention pro.
cecded to ballot for candidate The following
arc the ballotings, the lat being informal:
