PLuMB, willie tie interests Of Mr. HUrcnISs
were mainly. looked afterby Str. SIXTH, Of War
ren. A warm contest arose on the adoption Of
the report Of the Committee on rules. That
report made no provision for the filing OF va
caneies where township was wholly unrcprc-
sensed. This was distasieful to the friends Of
Mr.. CDDIses, inasmuch they were on hand iD
sufficient nuuuhers to make these count in har-
moev with their predictions. a vote was taxi
en- which was declared tie. This was decided
against the report by the casting vote Of the
chair The delegate from Plymouth, however,
considering himself excluded By the operation
Of the Rule. and therefore retrained from voting
while tho delegates from Dorset and Harpers

by admitting the ant-G -GrDDIses claimant
The voting COW commenced directly for can

the pesalt was announced, Mr. HuTcHIsGs took
the stand, and accepted the Nomination in a
brief and well conceived address, which we
doubt not. made his friends feel somewhat as IL
did US. that there was satisfactory evidence Of
ability and sounduess, upon which the 20th dis
trict might rely without misgiring.
