Mr.. Caldwell favored an Adjournment
"a he did not wish to nominate men who
would not consent to run if an adjourn
ment was had candidates could be nom
mated who would he willing to run, and
no man would have to be called upon to
run as a second choice The convention
had but little to do; recess conld be
takeu and the convention could act m
derstandingly the object was to nom
mate and elect members of the House of
Delegates and defeat the sympathizera
Mr.. James Wilson thought the course
suggested by Mr. Caldwell was unprecc-
dented The convention should nomin-
ate the candidates and appoint COM
mi tee to inform them Of the fact and
not appoint a committee to wait npon
men and ascertain whether they would
run. Whoever ran would have to make
sacrifices he did not want men who
would consent to run. The duty of the
convention was plaiu-balloting should
proceed immediately.
Mr. Peck wanted good mon; candidates
would have to make sacrifices. The con
vention should nominate goad and prop
OF men; whether they want to run or not,
and let the candidates resign ifthey dare.
