ESQ. McJilton replied to Blue and in.
sisted that no man had \ right to talk as
senseless In . Democratic convention, as
Blue, and that the President did perfectly
right In ruling him out Of order. t..
Nominations for Sheriff beingth in
order: General B. W. Price put In nom
nation LIT. Gray, and supported it with
\ well toned speech.
T. J. Patton pat in nomination John
W. Dunlavy. with a very neat little
speech. l
John Healy put in nomination John
Sinclair, which nomination was seconded
by Frank McJilton in avery earnest and
effective speech, claiming the want Of re-
cognition Of Benwood's claims upon the
Hon, L. s.. Newman rejoined and
thought that there were other Democrats
as good as BenWood Democrats.
John Dakin thought that Gray was not
a good Democrat.
John Healy spoke earnestly in favor Of
Sinclair and pledged the Democracy OF
Union to send him out OF that district
with 200 majority which in the speakers
estimation would be more than sufficient
to wipe out the $50 majority against them
and that II would be "Sooisiddei" to nomi
nate any other man.
Brown Porter said short incoherent
speech and sat down seemingly well sat
isfed. 49,
Harry Gill next appeared upon the
stage. The Democracy trembled. They
thought Gill was after their bones. Look
out for fresh supply Of phosphate.
Maj. Dare made a speech in favor Of
Sinclair, and said II his man was nomi.
mated he would certainly be the next
President Of Marshall county.
Dunlavy was nominated on the first
ballot by a vote Of: Dunlavy $40, Gray
40s, Sinclair 1872. Dunlavy's nomination
was made unanimous by vote oil the
Convention.
Snuire McJiIton moved that the Con-
yention adjourn. The motion was ruled
out Of order and the Benwood delegation
seeded from the Convention.
The Convention adopted resolutions
endorsing frat, the nominees OF the ST
Louis Convention, ID, the platform there
adopted and the nominees also; Sd, the
State nominees and platform; 4th, pledg:
ing support to the National, State and
county ticket; 9Th, endorsing the Nca0
State Gazette as the organ OF the Democ;
racy and commencing its editor, Geo. A.
Creel, as true and tried Democrat; 9th,
endorsing Col. Ben. Wilson for Congress.
The crowd then mostly dispersed. A
few Of the faithful remained and were
being harangued by Col. B. W. Byrne,
State Superintendent of Free Schools,
| when your correspondent left.
The Colonel succeeded in proving that
the expenses Of the government during
the years Of the Democratic rebellion
were greater than during like number
OF years before or since that time. He
showed the facts and the figures for it.
The inference from his argument was
that we could have whipped them cheap
er than we did.
In answer to an inquiry on leaving the
hall, we stated that we had all the pro-
ceedings excepting the residue Of Col.
Byrne's speech, when prominent Demo
crat rejoined, Judging from what / have
heard Of it, you might report the whole
thing as NOT worth d--n."
This latter is done under special in
structions.
The Convention was Greditable one to
the party. 1t was orderly and somewhat
harmonious. The Republican, Conyen-
ton, which assembled on the 18th ult,
was opened with prayer. The Demo.
cratic Convention with Dixie by the
band. The difference is a marked one.
