BY order or the several 19locratic Eoun-
" Central Committees, ~ y
Pursuant to the aforesaid call, the Demo-
cratic Central Committees of Franklin,
Madison and Pickaway counties provided
Tor the election of one tlelBeafB for each
ward and township in their respective
counties. In Franklin and Pickaway
counties, the Democratic electors of each
ward and township elected one delegate; I;
IbutIn Madison county the delegates were
Ielected by fnass Convention, The delegates
thus elected met IL Convention at the City
} Hail In this city, ON Monday July 80, at
. o1lH O'Clock AZ N. IA majority OF The conn
mittee on crsdsRtials reported that the
Democracy OF Madison county bad been
guilty Of an infoEmality in the election of
} their delegates. They advanced the opin-
{ ion that they should have elected them N
J the. same way that they were elected IN
Franklin and PlclSaway codnties-by wards
| and townships. 10 this It was replied by
the spokesman rthe Madison delegation,
that they had always elected their delegates
to Congfessl6nal andsJ Judicial Conventions
by mass cohysntions; that they did this be-
cause their township organizations were
defective; that It ad.always been satisfae-
/ tory 70 them; that they did not suppose II
would make any ,dIffefehce 70 the other
counties 90 lopg as it was perfectly satis-
factory tobthem; that they proposed 10
throw only the humber of votes to which
the county was entitled, and that there
werene other persons seeking seats in the
Convention, as deleg atesyexceptiDg those
who had been elected BY the mass meeting
agreeably to the call Of the Democratic
Central COMMITTEES for Madison county.
The delegation was finally admitted. After
their admission, a resolution was offered by.
Mr.. WRIGHT, of this county, the object Of
which was to change the basis of repfesen-
tation-making IL according to the Demo-
cratic vote given for the Democratic candi-
date for Governor last fall, instead Of by
wards and townships. This resolution was
objected to on the ground that 1t was the
understanding alike of the counties and
candidates that the representation should
be by wards and townships, and that it was
not for the Convention to go behind the
call or adopt rule contrary to the COM
mon understanding THOMAS SPARROW,
Esq., was the jealous advocate of the adop-
tion Of the resolution, who claimed that It.
was both right and Democratic, and assert
ed that he would not consent to any other
basis of representation. So, when the res
olution was voted on the table, hetook up
his hats and he and seventeen other delegates
from Franklin and four delegates from
Pickaway withdrew from the deliberations
of the Convention. '' .a2-.t ~. |'N0
Had the Convention adopted this resolu-
tion, Judge GREEN would, nevertheless,
have received the nomination by decided
majority. n, oi ..s ..n f-'.-'t
The ConYenOlon then proceeded to nom
mate candidate for Judge. Hon. JOIN
L. GREEN was the only candidate an
nounced for nomination. The Convention
being composed of sixty delegates, thirty
one votes were necessary to a nomination.
Thirty-eight delegates voted for Judge
GREEN, whereupon Mr., PERRILL, the Chair
man of the Convention, stated that he had
received not only a majority of those who
voted, but a clear majority Of the whole
had every member voted; and
that, therefore, having received majority, |
Judge GREEN was the regularly nominated
candidate for Judge for this Judicial Dis
trict, After brief speeches from Judge
GREEN, MATTHIAS MARTIN and R. HrTcHsl
EsON, rEsqrs., the Convention adjournedi
with three enthusiastic cheers. w ~. 10 .. ..
Judge GREEN has every qualification to
make most excellent Judge-experience,
legal learning aud ability. A most able,
impartial Judge did he make when Judge |
IN the Ross District some years ago. All |
who know him will bear witness that he Is
/ most perfect gentleman--courteou and
ieferential. This Judicial District will |
have in his person most unexceptioiable
Judge-unexceptionable in the dispensa-
tion of justice and his treatment OF mem
