The nomination of Mr.. Rawle was
then made unanimous, and endorsed
by the convention.
'rThe Republican Association, of WASH
ington, was given its usual places on
the State Committee. The chairman
of committee was left to the candidates
and Gen. White. Many of the dele
gates left for home.
A large satisfaction meeting was
held Wednesday night in Fulton Hall,
and was addressed by Hon. Julian q.
Burroughs, of Michigan, and others.
The Anti-Cameron claimants of the
party says that Rawle weakens the tick
ct, and the intelligent Democrats hold
that when the Democratic convention
meets, its action will be such as to
challenge the admirati on and assistance
of all the independent voters in the
State.
