drawn by him aud renewed by Mr.. Lowry,
and then Withdrawn.
Those marked thus = were Withdrawn.
DR.. Weidman, Of Lebanon, thought the
German population should have i represen-
tative or the Supreme Bench.
MIR. Wright read 4 letter of withdrawal
from Judge Conynham. He read also a lei
ter nom Judge wuodwurti, stating the only
condition on which he could consent to be a
candidate, namely, that it should be neces
sary 10 tue success of the party. Judge w.
declared himself in his letter for Judge Kid
der. The letters were ordered TO be entered
on the minutes and published.
Mr.. Wilmot addressed the Convention on
Judge Woodward's letter. He was a friend
al early and abiding friend of Judge W.;
but as he had several times voluntarily and
peremptorily decliued being a candidate,
and had pointed 10 Judge Kidder as a fit
man. the North had come there TO vote for
Judge X. He therefore asked that Judge
w. should be Withdrawn, as his nomination
would place all his friends in a false position.
Mr.. Pe,riken followed in the same vein
The nominations were here closed.
The Convention then took up the business
in relation 10 the manner of balloting.
Mr. Hugus objected to Mr.. Reeder's prop
%osition, as it might deprive some delegates
of the privilege of voting for more than one
candidate through all the ballots, who might
then fail TO be nominated.
Mr.. Sierigere was in favor of voiug for
all five at once. MIR. Porter, of Northamp-
ion, was also for yolirg for all five. MIR.
Reeder indicated his proposition, and re-
piled 10 all the objections 10 it.
Mr.. Wilmot, spoke in support of Mr..
Reeder's proposition.
