words OF the brefest thanks In minutes as much was
achieved is generally accomplished after hours vi
wranglng. The appointment OF committees went on
without giving much indication OF the tone OF the Con-
yention, till motion 10 appoint q Committee
for the selection Of candidates instantly displayed
the temper and purpose of the majority. An OLD une
Democrat the Hon. JOS. Mcdonald, known consplcu-
ously straight Democrat, opposed the selection OF
electoral ticket inudicous at this time In view Oh
the fact that the Baltimore Convention was yet to meet
and until that body gave result the Convention eoud
not ntegeny commission its electors TO THEREON

Donald defended the position. The accession OF MT
voorhees, to the Liberal cause was no greater surprise 10
the majority of the Democrats present than this COM
plete conversion Of Mr. Mcdonald who regarded as
inexorably opposed the Democratic REFORM However
there was keen disposition dsrust him; and Mr. Har-
rington an outspoken member from Jefferson County
thought that time and trouble would DO saved by select
ing electors pledged to vote for Greeley ana Bowl
This was evidently in accord with the spirit OF the ma
OIy, for an explosion Of rapurous applause followed
Tho idea of Mr.. Mcdonald submitted in the shape
Of an amendment, and rather under msapprehenson,
carried that the seecOns off electors should be de-
ferred until after the Baltimore Convention, when 1t
will be how much of a representation the Liberals
desire on the ticket In the discussion 1t was several
times conceded that the party was eager to coneiate
the Liberals by taking any Of their representative mea
as Congressman at Large.
Pending animated discussion OF the point the Pres
dent sprung the question Of the nomination OF Gov
ernor and it adopted with an approving storm OF
applause. There had been doubt of the nominee for
this place since Mr. Hendricks had indicated his willing
ness accept, and when his name was pronounced IL
was caught up and reiterated throughout the building In
enthusiastic reclamation. Presently in accordance with
the request OF the Convention, Mr. Hendricks appeared
upon the platform TO acknowledge the honor conferred
upon him. His appearance hailed by an outbreak
of prolonged cheers and applause. When he could make
himself heard he sad

OF Governor OF the state is one OF Importance ana re-
