The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1860-06-07

Rev. G. II. THAYER, who had been tempo.
rarv Chairman, was made Preside nj of the
Convention, AID A. JOHNSON and Mr.
SHATro, were chosen Secretaries, and also,
one Vice President from the different
townships in the county was chosen, whose
names we omit.
Mr.. PHILLIPS, Chairman Of the commit
tee on resolutions, read series that had
been prepared by the committee. The first
Of them contained the sterreotyped affir-
NATION that the principles Of the Republ-
can party were the same as those advoca-
ted by the trainers of the Constitution.
They resolved TO support the Chicago
nominees--the State ticket, and finally
pledged themselves to give their party
ticket larger majority than they have
done heretofore in this county--a pledge
that they knee they could not redeem. But
this is just as consistent AS it was for them
to say that their principles were the same
AS those that were contended for by the
trainers Of the Constitution. After the
first reading, the resolutions were adopted
by section, unanimously. A motion was
then made TO nominate OGLEsBEE for
Treasurer, by reclamation. AS he had no
opponent, this motion carried unanimously,
the President daring any one to vote in
the negative. S. CRAMProN was also NOM
mated by reclamation for County Sur
veyor.
Something was then said about nomina-
ting a candidate for Coroner, but from
some cause, We believe tie matter was de-
ferred until after the nomination for Sher-
if. At this time we were so far from the
stand that we did not fairly understand
what was said or done.
When the president announced that bal
lotting for the nomination of the candidate
for Sheriff was in order, the diGerens town
ships retired to consult, after having been
informed how many votes they were re-
spectively entitled TO- On the first ballot
tie vote. as near we could gather from
the excitement and talk around us, was as
/ follows:
/ Barnard 81
Thompson %
Elliott 9
Coons. enough to make out the balance
Of the vote. which We believe was about
%. On the secord BALLOT BARNARD re-
ceived large majority over all the other
candidates, and was declared the nominee
of the Convention, to the great satisfaction
of his friends and chagrin and dlsap-
pointment to the friends of the other aspi-
rants. AS 1t is rumored that Mr.. BAR
NARD drinks lager &c, pretty well. he was
admonished by an old brother Republican
to ego and sin no more" This was the
best joke of the whole days proceedings.
They then nominated JOHN HoHAM OF
lager beer notoriety. for Coroner This
was also another unanimous nomination
The nominations all being made, we left.
The Convention adjourned soon after
without speech or any enthusiasm, and
many of the friends Of defeated candidates
swearing bitterly. Here is one remark
that will give an idea OF. the feeling of some
of them. 1t was made by one of the ju-
yenile Republicans, who is more honest
than discreet: 1--WE know who has GOT
the nomination, but that don't elect him by
a. sight. for know lots Of Republi-
cans that won't vote for him, II BARNARD
The whole days performance was wedge
like, big end foremost The most of the
enthusiasm was in the procession, and
dwindled away the whole day. The last
demonstration was huddle of musicians
before BRowNLEEs store door playing
" that Same old tune - 10 the retreat of
that " SAME old coon," who was the clone
solitary horseman, who might have been
seen vending his way to his hole"
not needing the "pe!ting Storm" with
out, and saying inwardly. what he said au-
dibly IN TIE presence Of some Democrats
while in town, that the small Coons could
do the BARKING, but the fat ones. in town,
did all the BITING, and he has doubtless
come to the conclusion to growl the balance
of the season.
