William S. Damrell, of Dedham, was chosen
temporary chairman. A committee of one from
each county was appointed to nominate officers.

and several others, secretaries. discussion
arose on the leaking out Of the proceedings Of
know-nothing conventions, whereupon a COM

DIR. West, Of Boston, was chairman. The rea-
sons given for the committee were, among
other things, the report Of the doings of some
conventions had been correctly published at
Worcester, and that Drew, of the Worccste,
Spy bad said that he would publish the pro.
ceedings of that convention in less than forty.
