nomination OF candidates. loud appMusc.)
Col. MccLuHE trusted that motion so pregnant
with evil would not prevail at this time. He was
quite sure the great body OF this Convention had
not assembled merely for the purpose of expert
menting upon names nor indeed, Of nominating
names for candidates To the high executive Offices
OF this Government, without first determining what
were the principles in Which they believed. Then
AMI not until then, would the majestic voice Of
inns convention De prepared W announce
the names OF those who should represent
those principles. Until then II would he IN expert
mcnt: a vain, and he believed futile experimental
be casting about for names they were not here 10
express their individual procliyi'cs He trusted
the Convention would proceed wisely, and with dig
nifty to the work for which they were met that no
false step might he taken, but when step was taken
That IL would be no step backward. Let them be
patient until the committees be prepared TO report,
and he hoped the convention would not rashly pro-
coed to put men before the people before they had
asccItained the principles in which they believed.
