8 Executive Committee. called the house to
order and nominated Captain Nathan
H Holloway, of Goshen township, for chair
man of temporary organization, and he
was elected.

and Captain W. q. H. Brown, were elec.-
ed Secretaries.

reporters were invited to take seats at the
tables.
Secretary Burgandthal made call of
the townships, and they reported full dele.
, cations, except Washington. Wayne and
the precinct Of Flushing. Had the Con.
yention been full there would have been
eighty.eight delegates-as it:was there
were seventy.seven present, Of whom
twenty-six were said to be for Blaine, and
the remainder for Sherman.
On motion OF Capt. Piper, Of Barnesyille.
in case of partial delegation OF town.
ship, they were allowed to cast the whole
vote. Upon this question division was
called for, the Blaine delegates apparently
dissenting, they asking for committee on
credentials, which the majority seemed 10
think unnecessary, as there was no cues
ton except as to Wayne township, which
was represented by self constituted dele
gate who made satisfactory explanation
Of his case. However, two or three Blaine
delegates, before the matter was finally set.
tied, proposed TO and did retire, but had
no following, and afterwards returned.
They were evidently premature In their
movement.
A committee consisting of DR.. Henry
West, Q. w. Buudy and A. Z. Taylor, on
credentials, and committee on rules con.
sisting OF j. III. Lewis, John Theaker and
Abe Lash, was appointed. Dr.. West

Arrick, Jonathan SchOGeld, NJ. NJ. Scott,
John Harvey, Thomas Wilson, W. g.
Cochran aud Martin Il. Smiley, commit
tee to select delegates 10 the State Conyen-
ton.
Considerable objection was made bys
Blaine delegate, who asked for member
from each township.
Messrs. Charles Balzell, OF Bellaire;
Frank Robinson, OF Bridgeport; L. ].
Drennen, OF Martins Ferry, spoke with
some degree oil warmth. They asked for
two delegates on thecommttee, and those
suggested by them were appointed, and
good feeling was restored.
A recess oi fifteen minutes was takeu 10
allow the committees time 10 report.
Reconvened, and Dr. West, from the Com
mittee on Credentials, reported the town

ported that none were though to be neces-
sary.

Several Blaine men again interrupted
the harmony OF the convention BY op-
posing the motion to RdOptthe report, aud
asking that 1t be amended by striking out
the names OF James +. Anderson and @.
L. Poorman and inserting those OF DR.. J.
g. Mccullough and Jos A. Harris, on the
ground that lie two former were not for
Blaine as their second choice Remarks
were made by Messrs. Drennen, Schoheld,
Lee, TheAker and some others, but 1t seem
ed TO be thought bys majority OF the con-
vention that the resolutions with instruc.
tiOns covered the case, and the convention
voted down the amendment and adopted
the report.
