alarmed The report got about that the Com
mirtee on Resolutions had locked arms, and that
I the fight upon the Lecomp,on issue waxed hot
AID furious. 1t was asserted that Payne was at
the bottom of the difficulty, and that he was
bound to have Douglas recognised in the Con-
vention or have 4 muss. The Committee was
pretty fairly divided, Leeompton and Anti-Le-
compton.
At the afternoon session ThOs. J. 5. Smith, Of
Montgomery, was chosen President, and Vice
from each Congressional District. From the
18th, R R. Bowen, of Geauga. Alsc Secre-
/ tary from each Distriet-H. A. Williams, of
Lake, from the 18th. President Smith made a
speech in favor of embracing in one brother
hood the entire country between the Isthmus Of
Daricn and the frozen regions Of the North!
The Committee on Credentials reported that
some counties entitled to three or four delegates
had presented some ten or twelve delegates, and
that several counties had not reported them
selves at all. A wordy war broke out, wh,n
the reading of the report was dispensed with,
and it was resolved to let each county vote as
the delegates thought proper.
The following candidates were announcedfor
Sapreme Judge-Judge BARLEY, Of Riehland;
Judge Baldwin, Of Clinton; T. J. s. Smith, of
Montgomery; Judge Kennon, of Belmont, and
Judge Ranney, of CuyahOga. A motion was
made to nominate Judge Barley by accIana-
ton, which led to some feeling and confusion.
Judge CLANCY objected 10 a nomination before
the platform; another to the nomination Of any
man by acclamatiOn Mr. Sweetzer, of Dela-
ware, yindicated Judge Barley, and favored
acclamAtion. We again quote from the Fact:
A Delegate replied He said Judge Barley
was not the man of his choice, and for aught be
knew many of the delegates were OF his opinion,
and it was unconstitutional and ungeRtlemanly
to insist on dispensing with rules to place in
nomination any man, be he ever 80 deserving
He considered the motion an outrage on the
feelings of the Conversion. Great confusion
here ensuej, twenty or thirty delegates being
upon the floor and addressing the Chair at once,
and loud cries all over the house of "Stick 10
Barley" "Siick to AeclamatiOn," ''Yote 1t
down" "Orier," dc By this time the excite
ment had got TO such pitch that nothing could
be heard A delegate made motion TO call the
'roll, " which brought the house down Another
delegate hoped the Convention would keep !
cool" until he could make few remarks, but |
as the Convention would not keep cool, the |
speaker had to take his seat

were withdrawn, except that OF Chief Justice
