The President.-The Chair con
siders it in order to name candidate
without debate.
A delegate from Pennsylvania
drew attention to the fact that
delegates seats were occupied by
outsiders.
A Voice.-"The same here with
Ohio"
Tho President.-This affords the
opportunity to the Chair TO read 10
the Convention com nunication
Just received from the door keepers.
TIE communication stated that del
.egstee, as soon as they got into the
hall, passed tickets out to their
friends. The ofIic .rs, therefore,
found it impossible to prevent the
admission of outsiders; but the fault
rested with the delegates.
Tho President suggested the only
method to pursue would be for each
delegate to claim his own seat with
vigor.
After some delay, occasioned by
clearing the platform and distribu-
ting the ballots, the Convention pro-
ceeded to ballot.

evenly divided than at first appeared,
, although the Lincoln men had arPa-
