and passed of moro quietly than bad been Rn-
ticipatcd. Tho main contest throughout was ns
to whether Gov. Cullom WIS to be permitted to
eclect delegates Of his own choice without ro-
gnri to any other candidate. Thorr being two
candidates for Secretary OF State In Springfield
though halllng from other counties, oach was
deslrous Of having something to say about tho
delegates. Harlow seemed willing to tako his
chances on tho result, hut Rceoo wins
bound to tcontrol tho Convention Ii
possible, no matter what became OF
Cullonl, md threatened for time to make
trouble. In attempting this tho Cullom mon
claim TINT ho noted In bad falth as hc had agreed
to accept a fair division OF tho delegation. Tho
Convention wis called to order At o'clock. with
every delegate prcseut, and tarRe attendance,
Tho contest opened With tho dhofoe Of Chalr-
min. This resulted In a triumph for tho 1ioeco
men, DR.. E. II. Dabcock, Of Rochester, pro-
nounccd Dlatno man, being elected. DR.. William
Jayne, tho old-tlmc lcadcr OF tho antt-Cullo1n
clique, thon moved tho

ton, The secret Of this was that Jayne, who IL
ono Of tho State Executive Committee Of tho
Blaine Club, was ambitious, personally and rs u
Blalno man, to be u delcgnto to tho State Con-
vontion. IIe agreed that II he was appointed ho
would support Cullom cordially and pay OF old
scores with Cullom's friends hereafter.
Having secured tho Chairman, tho 1terco men
moved tho appointment by tho Chair of COM
mittee OF fifteen to select tho delegates Tho
Culom mon, however, smashed this slate by
having the Committee consist Of ono from
cnch township and ward. This Committee Of
thirty-thrco then retired. and WIS absent nearly
two hours. They first appointed II sub.c0m-
mittco, which submitted TWO reports. Nolther
WIS agreed to, md flnnlly tho difficulty waa
solved by balloting fur tho Delegates, one ut Il
tinc. This resulted in tho cho!ce OF tho follow
ing, tho rcportof the Committee being unani-
mously adopted by tho Conventions:
