for Noble, and that his nomination
on tho FIRST ballot was certain, unless
something unforeseen should occur 20

failed TO convince the dissatisfied
ones that tho Noble delegation from
Erie had been fairly aud honestly Sc
lecttd. Some of the leading rebels
against the Tammany ring were
aboard the train aud evidently meant
business. There was blood in their
eyes.
The Crawford delegation kept their
room at tho Bennett House nearly all
the morning, and ugly rumors float
cd about tho streets that Crawford
was going to make trouble. Many

read the Register in Bucyrus before
coming to the Convention, aud was
prepared for the occasion. He only |
wanted assurances from reliable |
sources that the statements in the |
Register were true, These assuran
ces were promptly and epphaHcdlg |
given by Democrats of high standing |
aud of unquestionable authority
This was enough. Jackson tore his |
