The committee found that something over
half the townships were unrepresented, and
it was proposed to fill the vacancies by per.
hitting persons present from the town
ships to actas delegates.
Some chap, fearful of fraud, wanted to
know what was going on. The Chair in
formed him in manner which plainly in
timated he had better ''dry up" Some chap
sat down suddenly. ,sT...3
After about half an hour spent in the en-
deavor to make it appear that the entire
county was represented, j. H. Beebe moved
that committee of five be appointed to
select names of persons to be voted for as
delegates to the State Convention.
Pending the taking of the vote on the
resolution, w. Fl. Bryan wanted to offer
resolution to determine the complexion OF
the committee. Mr.. Bryan got leave to in
troduce his resolution, which is as follows:
Resoloed, That the delegates selected by
this Convention of this county. to attend
the coming State Conventions, be instructed
to oppose, and to employ every legitimate
means to defeat all attempts which Inay be
made in said Convention, the object OF
which shall be to bring about measures Sc
curing the vote of Ohio to be cast as unit
in the next Presidential Convention.
The resolution was instantly frowned
upon and laid on the table to go to a COM
mittee on resolutions. " 30 fssss.--r.-'

Some chap from the country complained
that none of the townships on the west
side of the river were represented on the
list of delegates, but he was soon choked
down.
| The committee on Resolutions reported
the following: "-i-
Resolued, That the Convention heartily
approve of loyal manhood suffrage.
/ Every speech made was in favor of the
resolution. and it was announced unani-
mously adopted.
DIR. Brock was anxious to get the reso-

before the Convention, but no sooner did
he attempt it than a motion to adjourn
was made, and only withdrawn when the
Doctor took his seat. es

The object of the resolution was evident
ly to shut out Sam. Galloway from reeeiv-
ing his own county vote in the State Con-
vention for Governor. 7..s.r .--..sr.
DIR. Thrall couldn't see that the resolu-
ton intcrfered with anybody, and hoped
: it would pass. -A-
Mr.. Beebe could see that it cut off some.
body, and thought DR.. Thrall did.
DR.. Thrall offered to amend the resolu'
ton by inserting after the words "loya
men's the words sail other things being
equal"
E. White, from the committee on Res
olutions, considered the resolution one o
. instructions carefully concealed; that i
would compel the delegation to vote at al
times and under all circumstances, for sol
diers whether all other things were equa
or not. - 5- ~-L4 p. - =
Several of the delegates were in favor o
the amendment because by its adoption
darkey could receive the Gubernatoria
nomination as one of the =" things" tina
"were equal" .e, f.--
, The Galloway element were raging. Th'
troubled waters needed "ile" and it wa
