LONG DISPUTE
occurred after the adoption OF motion that
two-thirds vote should be necessary to decide
| question. 1t was upon motion OF Mr..
Evans that the convention should pledge
itself to support the nominees of the con-
yentiUn, to which the DeLargeites stren-
uously objected, arguing that If they agreed to
do this, they would be pledging themselves to
support cut and dried ticket, to which they
might seriously object; in fact, Its adoption
would prevent them fror- any independent
action in the future. The dlsputlng on this
motion continued until halfpast O'CLOCK,
when it was carried by a vote OF 10 to .. Ihls
vote showed the large majority OF the Bowen
ties. and that side of the house put on all Tue
airs OF victors.
THE NOMINATIONS.
Congressman Bowen moved to go into an
election for the county ticket, and stated that
the nomination for the Office Of probate Judge
was first in order. Mr. Northrop made
speech in regard to the position, but the gen.
tleman was so excited and rambling that We
confess our inability 10 give even the ''glst' OF
his remarks. Considerable confusion ensued,
and a recess was taken until O'Clock.
JUDGE OF PROBATE.
AS soon as the convention was called to
order after the recess, Mr. B;rney nominated
the Hon. George Buist for probate judge. Mt.
Taft denounced Mr.. Buist as Retormer, an q
said that so long as there were competent Re
publicans, he could not support Retormer
Ex-Alderman T. J.. Mackey nominated Mr.. l..
C. Northrop, and, in so doing, took occasion
to bitterly denounce Mr. Buist as Reformer,
but admitted that, as an officer and gentle
man. he was beyond reproach. Sheriff Mac
kew moved that two disinterested persons be
appointed teilers, to which the president re-
piled that, es he understood that ninety-tour
Of the ninety-six delegates were candidates
for positions, and as he was unable to desig-
nate the two dislnterestcd ones, he would ap-
point to the best of his ability, and appointed
Messrs. Dennis and Birney. The election was
proceeded with, and resulted in ninety-fve
votes being cast, of which George Buist re-
ceived 64, L. C. Northrop 30, W. H. Mishaw l.,
A. P. Ford l. Mr.. Bulst was declared elected,
he having received exactly the two-thirds vote
required.

St. Johns Berkeley; Aaron Logan from st.
Thomas Parish, and W. R. Jervey, from st.

were bitterly opposed by the DeLargeites. An
attempt to get some of their favorites on the
ticket being defeated, the ticket was elected
by large majority.
