as the committees nominee for Coro-

ner.
Mr. Leibrandt said he had been asked
TO be candidate for Coroner, but as he
neld the resolution in regard to office
seeking to be binding, he had said
nothing abOht the matter. He thought,
however, from what he had learned since
lie came info the Convention, that the
resolution bad not been carried out in
other respects.
The chaif called Mr. Leibrandt to or
der.
Mr.. Fox then nominated Mr.. Leibrandt
for Coroner.
Mr.. Davis nominated Geo. Riggs.
The ballot resulted in votes for Riggs
and for LeibraDdt, when the latter
arose and dsaid that Nicholas B. Appleton
mad been an office-seeker for thirty
years.
MIR. Appleton, however, received nine
votes, and was declared the nominee for
Coroner. al
Mr.. Dtcber moved that the intent of
the resolution in relation to office-seekers
be considered by the Convention and
voted upon. Adopted.
Mr.. Mann moved that the sense of the
resoiutin should be that only profession
| al office7eekers are excluded from nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Ldbrandt asked if man who had
sought ofice for thirty years, and simply
| held OH curing the past year should not
be REGARDED as a professional office
| seeker.
Mr.. Mmns motion was adopted.
Mr.. Kidney then nominated Amos T..
Davidson Mr. butcher nominated John
*: Babcock, and Mr.. Mann nominated
Hiram W. Moore.
Martin Butler said Hiram Moore was
not temperance man, as he was turned
out of the NJ. s. r. A.
MIR. Manu- know he is temperance
man; and think it no disgrace to be
turned out of the NJ. s. II. A.
| Butler insisted that Mr.. Moore had
| been turned out for drinking rum.
1t afterwards appeared that Butler was
mistaken in the man, ,as it was not Hiram,
but another man named Moore, who was
| expelled for drinking.
After some further discussion, the
Convention, by unanimous vote, en-
dorsed Mr.. Moore as temperance man,
and by vote of 10 to declared that he
was not professional office-seeker.
Mr.. Leibrandt nominated Philip r.
Clark, as a thorough temperance man
and one with whom success could be

Mr.. butcher inquired in regard to Mr..
Clark's temperance record, and the
Chair replied that he had seen him talk
ing with two drunken men during the
day.
Revs. Mann and Bristor strongly en-
dorsed Davidson as a sound temperance
man.
The Chair then took vote upon Mr..
Clark's temperance standing, and he was
! unanimously approved.
The Chair-This Convention has de-
cided that Mr.. Clark Is a temperance
man; know he is not, for have drank
rum with him.

Clark was not professional Office
seeker.
