cd to add to the business Of the Committee

COMMITTEE ON NoMINATIoNs.
Judge David Kilgore, of Delaware,
moved for q committee of one from each
county to prepare nominations for the ac-
tion Of the Convention. On the question
being put the President could not deter
mine how il had been carried, and out of
the uncertainty debate sprang up, during
which good deal was said of the best
mode and the usual mode of presenting
nominations, and of the proportion of the
votes Of Counties in the Convention to the
popular vote.
The President stated that two modes
had been followed, formerly that of nomi-
mating by committee of three from each
district. but latterly by a body composed
of one from each county to execute, as far
as possible. the instructions Of the coun-
ties. On putting the question again. Judge
Kilgore's motion prevailed by large ma
jority.
Mr.. A. Fl. Conner moved that state
ment he offered as to the proportion of the
votes of counties in making nominations to
the vote cast for VIM. A. Peele in 1862,
be adopted as the basis OF the action Of the
Convention upon the nominations that
might be proposal. Several objections
were made that the statement was inaccu-
rate.
Col. w. G. Wilson, Of Tippecanoe,
moved that the statement be referred to
the committee of counties on nominations,
and let them amend it as they found nec-
essary, which prevailed.
1t was then proposed to call the list ol
counties and let each designate its member
of the committee as it was called, but a
discussion on the feasibility of the plan,
and the advantages of letting the county
delegates meet and appoint man each,
and send him to some agreed place of as
sembling, delayed action SO long that the
committee on permanent organization re.
turned and reported, by Hon. Charles w
Cathcart, the following:
