When the recess was taken, the assem-.
blage from all quarters of the hall fell into
a temporary confusion incidental to occa-
sions OF the kind. The topics which
stirred through the crowd were those
which appertain to the credentials
of delegates and the papers of
contestants. Papers were handed round
to be signed. The secretary's desk was a
favorite point of attract ton on search for
Fully 1900 people were in the
hall, or wandering up and down the
stairs, or knocking at the door of the
room in which the committee on credentials
had disappeared. Besides this, the members
who had scarcely standing room quietly
themselves to snug seats
behind the desks of the former repre- senta-
tives; others formed little groups by the
big round doors, and talked over the claims
Of rival candidates, The hours of recess
having passed, the crowd again thronged
the corridor and lobby, and as the time of
the recess expired the big hall was filed
with crowd of the same size and of

to the assemblage that filed the auditorium
before the recess.

Mr.. A. B. Harris called to order the con-
venUion at five minutes after two, and called

Mr.. PinohbaGk-The committee have in
formed me that it will take from two to

Mr.. Young, of Conoordia-Mr. Chairman,

Loud cries of division, division, in the
midst of which the assemblage slowly poured
out of the hall into the street
below.
In the hours of the evening, while the
sauntered round, number of
them met in the hall of the House of Rep
and sudden movement was
made toward Pinohback for speech. An
swering with his usual readiness and off
hand manner, Mr.. Pinchback's remarks,
after an allusion to his past candidature
sor the Senate, in which he was defeated,
louched upon the prospect of a guberna-
jOrial nomination. He said if it we're the
will of the cOnven ton, he would submit
lis own name for Lieutenant Governor,
irving Governor Warmoth a nomination
or reelection, and the ticket thus con-
tituted, he felt confident, would sweep the
whole State.
