The Convention reassembled at $50 P.

represented by $50 delegates. Recess was
taken till 7:30 Pm.
The evening session resulted in poth-
ing. The time was occupied in discus
sion as to how the vote Of States not fully
Represented should be cast.
The subject was laid on the table and
the Convention adjourned till 0 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The delay was occasioned by the ina

report, and also the probable difficulty in
selecting the names Of Presidential candi-
