When the list had been called over,
il was ascertained that Mr.. Shoch, one
of the delegates from Brady was not
present, causing vacancy in the dele
cation from that township. On mo-
ton of Mr.. Owens, of Lawrence, An
drew Pentx, jr., who was present, was
admitted IA substitute for Mr.. Shoch.
There was also vacancy in the
delegation from Gulich township, Mr..
Dickinson having failed to answer. On
motion of Mr.. Dots, of Beccaria, Mr.
Flynn, the delegate present from Gu
Itch, was allowed, withouta dissenting
voice, to cast the full vote, no one else
being present from that township.
(However, before proceeding to ballot
ing, Mr.. Dickinson appeared, and was
admitted to his seat BY the consent Of
all parties)
1t was announced that two vacan-
cies existed in the Lawrence dsIsgs-
ton Messrs. Ogden and Dougherty
having failed to answer when called
by the clerks. The delegates present,
(Messrs Owens and Read asked that
Messrs. $. ii. ShafIner and John Shaw
Jr, be permitted to fill the vacancies
The Convention, BY unanimous con
sent, substituted those gentlemen for
Messrs. Ogden and Dougherty.
The vacancies having all been filed,
the clerks proceeded TO call the names
of the delegates, when il appeared that
seventy-one persons answered as such,
making thirty-six votes necessary for
. chc:cee.
The roll Of delegates having been
completed, the chair announced that
the next business in order was to open
the returns and tally the vote, and as
certain from the sealed returns the
number Of votes cast for each candi-
date, US well as for delegates.
Quite q number OF gentlemen object
cd to the ruling of the chair, and in
sisted that the names of the delegates
should be called over, and at the same
time cast their votes for such candi-
dates Ms their respective districts had
instructed for. Tho chair yielded at
this time TO what seemed TO be the de-
sire Of the Convention to proceed to
ballot for candidates (The ruling
Of the chair was right, and had il be-
came necessary to proceed to more
than one ballot the Convention would
have been thrown into confusion BY
some Of the delegates not knowing
their instructions, from the fact that
such instructions were sealed up, and
not yet before the Convention. The
same experiment had better not be re-
peatcd.--REpoRTER)
There being no opposition for Con.
gress, Judge or Senator, Mr.. Upton,
Of Osccola, moved that Il. A. Mackey,
