selves to support the future policy Of the ad-
ministration against the assaults Of its enemies
Mr. Hannah moved to amend the resolution by
inserting the words principles of the Demo
cratic party" ia place of "administration."
Much opposition was manifested to the resolu-
tion, and it was withdrawn by the mover
S.H Chase and c. J. Lansing were then
placed in nomination as candidates for Senator.
On the first ballot, MFR. Chase received 45 votes
aud Mr.. Lansing 40. The result being an
nounced, Mr. Chase was unanimously declared
the nominee of the Convention for Senator. and
on being called for he came forward and de-
fined his position. He said that he approved,
in the main, of the policy and measures of the
President that he would not array himself in
factious opposition to the administration, but
that SO far as the late differences between SEN
ator Douglas and the President were concerned,
In regard to the admission Of Kansas, he ap-
proved of the position Of Douglas, and should
sustain his course.
Nominations for the Assembly being next in
order the names of thirteen candidates were
placed before the Convention. 1t being then
about seven o'clock, the Convention adjourned
for one hour
On the re-assembling Of the Convention, the
names of John Caldwell and G. Callahan were
placed in nomination for Assemblyman from
Eureka township The first ballot resulted in
G. tie-each having received AZ votes On the
second ballot, the tally list kept by the clerk
gave Callahan AZ votes and Caldwell Al. Pre-
vious to the vote being made up. the friends of
Caldwell contended that mistake had been
made by clerk and insisted that another ballot
should be taken. The friends of Callahan de-
clared that they would not allow another vote
to be taken, and called on the Chairman to an
nounce the result. During the time the roll
was being called, some six or eight delegates
we're standing over the tally clerk, talking
among themselves and the names being called
rapidly, it was not an easy matter TO keep the
tally correctly. One mistake did occur during
the count which was corrected, and the clerk
was satisfied that the vote as above stated was
correct But there was some reason to believe
that one more vote had been counted than
there were delegates in the room. and the Chair
ordered another vote to be taken; but the noise
was so great that it was impossible to call the
roll The confusion was kept up for about half
an hour, when motion was made and carried
by acclamatiOn, to adjourn sine die. After the
adjournment, the two wings retired to separate
corners of the room, and each organized Con-
vention. The friends of Caldwell filled out the
ticket, appointed Central Committee and ell
ected delegates to the State Convention. The
friends of Callahan repudiated the nominations
of Chase and Belden, already made, and put in
nomination an entire new ticket, appointed
Central Committee, and selected delegates to
the State Convention.
The Convention having adjourned site die,
majority of the delegates re-assembled and or
ganized by calling S. S. Fem to the Chair, and
appointing M J. McCutchan Secretary.
A resolution was then adopted, that the Con-
vcntion proceed with the nominations.
