Pending the acceptance of the report Hon.
Nathan Webb moved that the report be not
accepted. He said Mr.. Libby was not a candi-
date and that Col Mattocks was entitled to re-
nomination. He had come to the Convention
principally to urge the re nomination of Col
Mattocks, but was not aware that the matter of
Attorney had been reached until the ballot had
begun.

would not prevail and spoke with some feeling
on the matter. J. NJ. Palmer, Esq. took the
same side.
