DR.. Hazlett and Mcssrs. Peterson, Clark
and Curtis, positively declined to be can
didates.
This action on the part of Mr.. Peter
son, kind of made "holc' in the slate
anda number of delegates skipped around
to where Mr.. Peterson sat and buzzei in
his ear, and insisted on that gentleman
allowing his name to 90 before the Con-
vention, which he finally, though reluc-
family, consented to do.

necessary number of votes were declared
BY the President to be the nominees otthc
Convention.
On motion of Mr.. Blair the nomina-
ton of the above gentlemen was then
made unanimous.
THE sENATORSHIP.
Mr.. A. w. Campbell, of the Intelligent
Ger, stated in regard to the SenstOrship,
that he had understood that the nomlna-
ton of Senator to represent this district
had been left entirely to this county, by
the conventions recently held in Brooke
and Hancock counties, and he therefore
moved that the Convention proceed to
make Il nomination.
Mr.. G. ID. Hubbard confirmed what
Mr.. Campbell had said in relation to the
above matter, and suggested that if a
was made it ought to be done
ut once.
Mr.. Peterson moved that committee
of one from each district, be appointed to
select n nominee for State Senator. The
motion was carried, and the following
gentleman appointed to constitute the
said committees:
Washngton-Wm Hastings.
Madison-T. j. Blair.
Clay-A. w. Campbell.
Web>ter-.Ias. ID. Stanton.
Union-Frank johnson.
Ccntre-R. q. Jordon.
Ritchie-Dr Haziett.
Richland-Wm North.
Triadclphia-.I. +. Sisson.
Libcrty-W. b. Curtis.
The committee retired, but almost i'm
returned and Mr.. Campbell,
the chairman, remarked that the cxpedi-
ton with which the committee made their
report probably needed some explanation.
He would simply say that the committee
unanimously. heartily and earnestly
agreed to present the name of DR.. T. H.
Logan. The announcement was re-
,cived with applause and the members ef
the convention seemed tirklcd and con-
ident.
DR.. Logan in Il few brief but approPri-
ate remarks. said he felt grateful for the
honor conferred upon him by the Con-
yention, but said he could not consistent
IS with personal interests, accept the
and begged to he excused by
he Convention.
This positive declimation by DR.. Logan,
seemed to throw damper on the spirits
If the gentlemen assembled. The
Committee then retired for
consultation. In the meantime
DR.. Logan was bcseised by almost every
member of the Convention who plead
and advanced every argu-
nent possible in urging him to recon- .
der his former action, but without any
uccess. 1t was even intimated that the T.
legislative ticket nominated would refuse .
o run unless he accepted, yet the Doctor
emained firm in his determination not to :
lead the ticket as Senator.
The committee, on returning from their
