done.

Mr.. William Murrell, of Madison, We
nominated for temporary president OF th
| convention.
| Mr.. Green nominated David Young, I
| Concordia.
| Mr.. CARL nominate Lieutenant Go
ernor C. C. Antoine. My reason for maxim
this nomination is that it has been the ca
tom in every State convention since til
| adoption of the constitution to confer thu
honor on the Lieutenant Governor OF tt
State, and this is in accordance with wi
dom and Justice. l nominate him becaul
he represents the northern portion Of tt
State, because he represents two-thirds
the Republican voters of the State, and b.
cause it is merely right, just and propt
that in cur selection we should show tt
people that we have some respect for o,
Lieutenant Governor.

man from New Orleans for temporary pre-
ident.
J Mr.. Montaldo-I move the nomination

three tellers. Carried, and the chair a
pointed Messrs. Burch, Gair and Green.
