c. N. Noteware put in nomination NJ.
A. Murphy, Of Esmeralda county, for the
Office Of Attorney General, on the Repub-
lican ticket, and it was ordered that his
name appear there by unanimous consent.
The purity Of the party had won this gem
tleman's adhesiveness, and by it and its
platform he would sink or swim.
Mr.. Boardman named Mr.. Andrew j.
Hatch as q candidate for the nomination
Of Surveyor General, and this was followed
by two other aspirants. Parson ,Treadway
said he knew Mr.. Hatch quite well ; knew
Hatch was q Granger because he had hay
seed in his hair and . corn-cob in his
pocket. :.
Mr.. Notcware now nominated G. p.
Young, and his nomination was seconded
by M. A. Murphy. :

was the unanimous choice, and he thanked
the Convention for the nomination.
For State Superintendent Of Public In
.struction the nominees were three. The
first named was J. d. Hammond, next in
order, 8. P. Kelley, and then came the
name Of d. A. Ewing. In behalf OF Mr..
Ewing, Mr.. Loomis said that he thought
the teacher, not the preacher. should be
the Superintendent Of our schools ; it was
time sectarianism was banished from pub
lie schools, and as the man whose cause he
presented before this. Convention was .
teacher and manager whose capability no
n could question, he asked that impair

lieve II the Diety himself were to come
along with the proper credentials) and
become a member of this Convention, that
he would vote for such everlastiI g secta-
rian principles as was displayed in the Sc
lection Of this State ofiiccr-a preacher
filling the position in this State for IL sue
cessive years (; Jesus Of Nazareth couldn't
get the nomination for State Superintcnd-
ent Of Public Schools in Ormsby County /;
etc.
Mr.. Hammond declared that this oppo-
sition to q sectarian man for Superinten-
dent Of Schools was unprecedented; he
didn't see why a man should be ineligible
to Office because he was q minister OF the
Gospel; he knew 800 preachers, and but one
was a Democrat-and he died; God had
always been the leader of the Republican
party; had led 'em on successfully to libe-
rate some three million colored gentlemen,
making Radical voters and officeholders of
'em; he would travel all over the State to
work for the Republican cause If nomi-
mated, etc.
Mr.. Kelly was ashamed of this man
Loomis for the way he talked before a
Christian delegation like the one before
him; he knew what the duties of a Super
intendent We're; he had placed important
documents in the hands OF the President
come before the United States Senate next
winter, and he would stand by the decision
of this Convention as to whether he should
be the nominee or not.
The first vote stood: Hammond, So /;
Kelly, SO; Ewing, 40. Second vote: Ham
mond, 50; Kelly, 81; Ewing, 40.

The Lecture upon Irish Poetry.
The Virginia Enterprise of the 18th has
the following: "Mr. Daniel O'Connell's
lecture last evening attracted an audience
composed Of the most appreciative Of our
citizens. Many attended out Of mere
curiosity to see the talented young fellow
whose relationship to Ireland's most
famous advocate insures him . warm well
come everywhere. All who attended were
pleased-many enraptured. The lecturer
in his critical reviews OF Ireland's poets
evinced a degree Of appreciation that none
but a poet could feel or express. and
his language was eloquent and finely
chosen. The selections from the various
poets we're splendidly rendered, Mr..
O'Connell is blessed with a remarkably
fine voice, full OF depth and pathos,
and in reciting the songs Of his country's
bards it was evident that the mans whole
soul was thrown into his labor Of love.
