the performance OF lts grand acc solemn duty.
Each delegation tbroug its chairman, was, BY
The rule Of the Convention to report the record
OF its own aetertntoatlon. but every man spoke
tor himself: NO State or territory voted ~ 60
lido but the rotea we're to be taken and de-
clared By Inc chairman Of each delegation. SO
that eaeh mans individual vote should count
iou may nase observed, 10 Inc newspaper re-
ports of the do1ngs Of fhe Convention, that some
votes were counted rs halves. This Is to be &C
counted for By the fact thatth nnsylvaulans
In their earnest anxiety to protect the interests
OF the keystone state, had sent twice as many

candidates in the field. few votes IRON th,
State or the other were g'ven, and we're ea
or as fee!ers. to some 1avu1ite citizen, or som
tavorite t'iend Of that particular commonwealth
For instance, the vote oil the state OF Vernon
was given 10 the distinguished Senator Of ths
State, Judge Coilamer. But there we're, at las
but three candidates, as we all lett and knew.
