After the disposition of this bushes the
Chair announced the place of meeting for
| each of the committees.
A recess was moved, but Mr.. Ball, of
Muskingum, thougt it would be proper to
have the names of candidates announced :;
but the sense of the Convention displayed
IN an opposite direction.
On motion of Mr.. Allen, of Jefferson,
the Convention took a recess until two
O'Clock P. NJ.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the hour indicated the convention
reassembled, and was called to order by
the temporary chairman, The first bust
ness IN order being the report of the com
mlttee on credentials, Mr., Cummins, chair
main of that committee, reported that
there were no contests, and that all the
counties in the State were represented,
save Scioto. A telegram from Jas. w.
Newman, delegate from Scioto, author
lzlng Hon. Llewelyn Baber to act as the
proxy for that county and cast its vote for
Cessna, was read from the stage.
Mr.. Ward, of Hamilton, moved that
the report of the committee on credentials
be amended so as to authorize Mr.. Baber
to cast said vote
Judge McKemy, of Montgomery, wan
ted to know how many votes Scioto was
entitled to, and being told that the num-
Der was five, made brief speech opposing
the principle of allowing one man to con-
troll the vote of an entire county in that
way.
Hon. VIM Mungen spoke in favor of
the motion, and Wayne Griswold, of
Plckaway, against establishing a prece-
dent of that kind.
a member of the committee on creden-
tials said that the telegram had been be-
fore the committee and they had come to
the conclusion that if Scioto county hadn't
enough spirit IN her Democracy to send
delegate to this convention, she oughn't
to have any.
Mr.. Baber arose and tried to explain
his connection with the matter. He said
he had no interest," in the matter, and that
he was friend to everybody. The dis
patch had simply been forwarded to him,
and he had laid it before the committee.
A cry of question" was raised to choke
Mr.. Baber off, but ldr. Callen ruled that
it was a Democratic convention, and that
the gentleman had right to speak. A
motion was made to lay the motion of Mr.
Ward on the table, but when the conven-
tlon found that the laying of the motion
on the table was liable to take the report
with it, the mover promptly withdrew it.
To settle the question Mr. Ward withdrew
his motion and the report was adopted.

ton, rules, and order of business, through
