war-horse of Republicanism, John Rider.

warmly.
Each Of the candidates appeared ard adj
dressed the Convention, indorsing the reso!u

! Mr.. Murphy, of Brig hton, again addressed,
urging the Convention to give the coun Try
the office Of Treasurer.
W. \. Anderson replied, and said it was
not right to raise these sectional questions.
He didn't care where the man comes from if
