others not even remotely 90, the pre-
vious question was ordered and tn,
motion TO adopt the resolutions one by
one, was voted on. The ayes and
nayes were so loudly given that a d.
vision Of the house was called for and
the vote taken by counties. The mo.
ton was defeated by a vote Of 80 to
60. The majority report was then
adopted and
NOMINATIONS
Being next in order, Hon. J. J. Hind
man, in a short eulogistic speech, NOM
mated Judge +. w. Turner, Mr..
Smith, Of Madison, seconding the NOM
nation. Judge Garnett, of Adair,
put Judge Durham in nomination,
which was seconded by ]. $. Van
Wrinkle, Of Boyle; DR.. J. T. Bohon,
Of Lincoln, named Phil B. Thompson,
Jr., seconded by Col. Nat. Gather, Of
Mercer, and w. II. Waddle, Of Pu-
laski, with G. A. Lackey, of Lincoln,
as second, nominated W. Mckee Fox.
Each of these gentlemen spoke in
highly complimentary and well word.
ed terms of his fayoritc, and their adj.
dresses were received with applause.
THE FIRST BALLOT
Was had according to the instruc'
tons given each delegation by its
county, and was the same as hereto
fore published. A second ballot wa:
taken with identically the same result.
One or two more ballots were taken
resulting as before, and the Conven'
ton adjourned at $3.50 till Z o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
Balluting was again resumed and
kept up TILL o'clock, the only change
in the vote being that Lincoln chang
ed her Turner vote to Fox, and then
to Thompson. THIS was done as q
feeler, but meeting with no response il
went back to Turner. About the 23rd
ballot a written resolution was presen.
ted and read by the Chairman, to DROP
the hindmost candidate after the 25th
ballot. Mr.. Smith, Of Madison, de
handed at once to know who had Of
fered the resolution and it was ascer.
tanned that Jos. Chandler, ESQ.,, Of
Taylor, was its father. Mr.. Smith
then asked him to withdraw the mo.
ton, which he was allowed to do, there
being. no objection. At the close Of
the 10th ballot, and after IL hours
had been consumed without a bulge
from the rut, the Convention adjourn.
ed till $50 Thursday morning.
SECOND DAY-MoRSING SESSION.
kilograms were received during the
day, one announcing that after a num-
Der of ballots with no result, the
name of Judge Turner had been
withdrawn and that his vote had gone
to Thompson. Several ballots were
then taken and there being no change
in the vote, Gel. Fox was withdrawn
and Turner put on again. Turner
got Fox's vote, and was the leading
man, all the candidates, however, be-
ing in the fifties. Since then nothing
has been heard from there.
Our operator, Mr.. F. j. Anthony,
kindly remained in his Office till IL
o'clock, and we held our columns open
till then but not a word rewarded our
waiting. The Geographic commune
cations are exceedingly bad from here
to Somerset, even in ordinary times;
last night they were not worth a cent.
When we left the Convention on
Wednesday night, the general bs-
lief seemed to prevail that Thomp-
son would get the nomination. This
would give general satisfaction, and
the Incorporating delegates ought
to give it to him and 60 home and
stay there.
We were pleased to meet the fol.
