THE GOLD HILL DELEGATION.
In our report Of yesterday we were in error
in stating that the entire delegation from
Gold Hill retired in disgust during the close
of business on the first day Of the Conven-
ton. Only t,celre of the seventeen vent
away thinking they would return no more.
Yesterday, however, ten out Of the twelve got
in good humor and returned, and at the close
of business only three Gold Hill delegates
were absent, while those present appeared
perfectly reconciled to the proceedings thus
far.
THE ADJOURNMENT.
After some discussion upon the propriety
Of so doing, the Convention adjourned over
until Saturday, the 18th inst, on which day
it will re-assemble at the Opera House, at 10
o'clock A. NJ, and complete the county ticket
by nominating three candidates for District
Judges. Immediately upon adjournment,
three rousing cheers were given for B. c.
Whitman, the President.
