ment does Col. Templeton a great
wrong. A considerable wrangle was

lieutenant governor, when this con.
test, and all others where more than
one candidate was presented, was
left to the wisdom of the delegates
to choose the best man, and thi:
agreement disposed of the attorney
generalship without any action by
the convention. Had instruction.
