Hon. }. NJ. Wightman of Boston thought it
wouldn not be courteous to the other convention if
after appointing a committee of conference, this
body should make nomination in anticipation
of its report. The question is not whether Mr.
Summer is our choice, but whether the copven
ton should disregard its former action Mr.,
Sennott then withdrew his MOTION and pro-
posed three cheers for MIR. Sumner which was
responded to with enthusiasm.
There being no business before the convention
several delegates took the opportunity to declare
themselves in favor of Mr. Summers nominal
ton. Mr.. Sennott offered resolution, decIar-
ing that this convention would be entirely con.
| tent with the nomination of hon. Charles Sum
ner as candidate for governor, and asking that
| his name be presented TO the committee Of con-
| ference on the part Of this convention. The
resolution was laid on the table without debate.

| in regard to the "bloody chasm," and closed his
remarks by reciting an original poem, entitled,
CATER the Fight"

| ence, then addressed the convention. He said
