the choice of Ohio for the Presidency.
10. That the delegates-at-large to the Ma

General Morgan then moved the adop-
ton of the minority report as substi-
tute. An exciting discussion here fol-
lowed, in which Hon. Frank Hurd,
General Tom Ewing, Mr.. Heisley, Of
Tifin,l and Others took part.
The call of the counties then pro-
ceeded, and it had not proceeded far
before it was evident to those keeping
count that the majority report was
doomed to defeat. Those near the Sec
retaries, who figured up the Allen COL
umn first, saw that Uncle William was
bound to rise up, and as the. face of Gem
eral Sargent turned to the Convention,
wreathed in smiles, a yell went up from
the Allen side that shook the echoes.
Before the vote was announced the band
struck up the "Star Spangled Banner"
forgetting that they had already favored
the Convention with it three times.
When the President announced the vote
he stated, in what seemed very gratified
state Of mind, that there were $40 votes
in the Convention; that 66S votes had
been cast; that 1856 votes were necessary
to a choice; that the substitute had re-
ceiyed 1858 votes in its favor, and 300
against. He then declared the substi.
tute adopted. The following State
ticket was nominated:
Secretary of State, VIM. Bell, Jr.; Judge
of Supreme Court, VIM. E. Fink; Member
