The Convention "wednesday.

AS previously announced, the lnuepeno-
ent convention met at the Academy o;
Music Wednesday, the tull proceedings o
which are published in the Sentinel this
morning. While there was an evident at
tempt to have the convention perform
lis work in accordance with previously
organized plan, there was, in the conven-
ton, little friction that was 10 be expected
in newly organized party. The majority
of the candidates selected were those for
merly acting with the Republican party
and an effort to demand of those nominated
pledge to sever their former political rela-
tions In accepting the nominations made by
the convention failed, and it may be pre-
sumed that those who were selected yester-
day will feel under no obligation to refuse
a nomination to the same Office by the Re-
publican or Democratic conventions here
after to assemble, if it should be rendered
to them. The telegram from Mr.. Banders,
upon being informed of the compliment
paid to his record in congress, is published
| in connection with the proceedings.
1t is frank and manly, and is believed to be
satisfactory to the convention, though it in
no way compromises his position as DEM
ocrat. The convention was respectable in
numbers and the proceedings were coz
Quoted with unusual decorum and order.
| While the leaders of this movement were
in earnest and manifested determination
for thorough independent action, yet it was
evident that there was some industrious
underworld attempted to be got in by the
other political parties, but with what sue
cess is not yet apparent. The spirit of the
convention as a whole does not indicate
that there will be an immediate dissolution
of either of the other political parties.
