This rational and eminsntly practicaf
suggestion. iflliterally and obeaienIly car

Convention Of the party having 70 decide
between the conflicting claimes Of some
sixty-six candidates fof the Presidency !.
Against this proposition. Mr. BALLARD

reported, and also delivered one Of the
most illogical, gaseous. and indifferent
speeches that ever was made. and i Is
