AFTERNOON SESSION.
Convention net pursuant to adjourn
ment.
The Committee not being ready to re
port, Mr.. Cole was called for. and re
sponded in brief speech. full of good
humoF and happy suggestions. He cared
not for a name. Those who had left thu
old Democratic party on the fall of Sum
ter, could not be driven from the righ
by n mere name. Still. as some prefer
red the name Union, he thought nice
marriage ceremony might be gotten mp
and Republican and Union united and
the party marshaied under the Republi
can't Mon banner.
Gov Stone was called out. lie cared
not what name the party was called by
80 long as the principles remained. He
said he was taken prisoner at Shiloh by
Gen. Polk, and he had just learned by q
telegraphic dispatch that Gen. Sherman
had conquered General Polk, and taken
1900 prisoners. Tremendous applause.
While we were going on so gloriously
when our arms and our principles are
triumphant; it is no time to stop and
quarrel about q name. He would like to
vote for President Lincoln, but he be-
lieved it impolitic for Iowa to pledge
herself four months in advance. Great
events are transporting, and while we
endorse most fully the present Admins.
