OF the opinion that they were read enough and
and should be.well understood when Bar1es Ont
short the discussion by moving that a candi-

II. u. W oodruff, of Johnstown R. n Rrovvn
OF Cresson, and ID. Mclaughlin of Johustown
were seyerally suggested, as was also the town,
chip OF W 6ite. The enthusiastic deleeate from,
Summerhill who made this last suoeestion 1Saa
so overcome with the effort that he forgot the
princiPal part OF his story, but somebody came
to his rescue by limiting the rame of Geo wal.
tiers, of White. and Mr. w. was thereunon de-
clared to be the man the delegate was seeking
for. Mr.. Brown declined permitting his M me
10 De used, alleging that he was not in synna-
thy with the cause and did not wish to become
iaentined with 1t In any shape. Mr. MeLaugh-
lin also withdrew his name, not because of a
lack of sympathy on his part, but probably he
cause he feared the people would not manifest
enough sympathy for him to secure his election
Ar. Walters having no friend present to with
draw his name, and Mr.. Woodruff not wishing
anything of that kind to be done in his behalf
the convention proceeded to q ballot. which

William Flattery, of Johnstown, for Coroner.
Mr.. Elder now arose to say that There was
stiI an once which II was the policy of the
law to iuitl," but MIR. Elder doubtless forgot
that it is not 1.-The policy of the law" to permit
two consecutive terms by re electing the same
incumbe nj for the second time He moved
however, that James Cooper, the present in
cumbent, be the nominee for Jury Commis-
sloner' and the Convention unanimously sec
Onded his motion.
For Auditor the names of Henry Walters
and Peter Elmire, both of Summerhill were
proposed. Mr.. Walters received % votes and
Mr. Elmire 49, Immediately after his nomi
nation Mr.. Walters came forward and respect
! iulIy declined the questio nabie honor, but the
his wishes.
! 1t was now proposed that Gen. Potts address
| the Convention, but a gentleman from the Sd
! ward OF Johnstown, wanted to know why a
/ candidate foI Sheriff was not nominated. Con.
siderable Confusion was create5-some persons
shouting that the train had arrived-Barnes
and others shouting themselves hoarse for
| Potts-and the Chairman and Secretary irving
| by persuasive Glequence to pacify the indignant
! seeker after information. A crisis had at
| length been precipitated upon the Convention
/ Tor which the ring were totally unprepared
nut MT Elder commenced labored explana-
| non, during which he stated that he had con-
suited with several leading Democrats in
| Johnstown and they advised him that it would
/ De lnpolItlc to nominate candidate as they
! would thus imperil their cause among a certain
nationality there. Mclaughlin proposed that
! the census" of the Convention be taken, and
/ The leaders OF the "ring" were gratified to OBJ
| serve that their lash was potent, as a majority
OF The delegates voted against nomination fol
that Office.
Gen Potts appeared in response to reiterated
| calls but his speech did not occupy more thar
one minute OF time. He said that for reason!
"hlch has been explained in his card of with
ura"aI he was forced to retire from the cam
pai6h. and The state of his health did not per
. mt him TO exert himself unnecessarily-o
words to that effect. =
Elder then moved that q vote OF thank 'oH
rendered to the proprietors of the Mou2tsGEair
House for use of building, and the same gen
tleman moved an adjournment. As there wal
still some show Of dissatisfaction in con e
quence of the action of the Convention III re
gard to the vacancy in their ticket, the an
nouncement was made that if it was considered
necessary, the executive committee could NEE
and place candidate in nomination.
Doubts existed in the minds of many as t.
whether Mr.. Woodruff would accept the nom
~ hsah
doubts were, however, expelled on Saturda,
evening. About 8 o'clock hired band wa
brought to his Office, and after playing for
few minutes, Mr.. W. made his appearance
He thanked the gentlemen present for tender
ing him the nomination and thought that the
might have secured some worChier man, bu
T since it vas forced upon him he would accept

gratulatory remarks upon the available candi
date they had secured. Mclaughlin mex
mounted the box, but a rain storm could no
more effectually have dispersed the crowd.
