EVENING SESSION.
About 6 o'clock, last evening G
band played about the streets and
gathered something CT a crowd al
the Liberal Institute, when the Lib.
eral territorial convention was to
nominate a Delegate for Congress.
By 7.30 O'Clock the body OF the hall
was full, and there were a few per-
sons in the gallery. During the
evening the band played frequently,
and the audience manifested a good
deal OF interest and enthusiasm,
which, however, was not exhibited
IN applause with the hands, but with
the stamping of No. 19s on the uu-
fortunate floor, and an occasional
shrill whistle, reminding one of the
tones OF the gallery gods in
the theatre. A few minutes after 7.30
O'Clock the meeting was again called
to order by temporary Chairman Ros-
borough.
The committee on permanent or.
gsnization reported the following

90, was called upon for a speech,
out only gave a few words; Mr..

my speech now, but might further
IN in the evening.
The committee on resolutions then
unlimited its report, which was read
" Col. o. ]. HOLSTER. 1t is OF the
usual character and says the usual
hings little out OF the usual way.
Major Maxwell moved that the
eport be laid on the table; he said
hat many things in it were nothing
,ut nonsense.
The platform was then adopted.
A resolution was here offered and
adopted that the chairman appoint

members to take charge of the cleo
ion, Eli all vacancies, and take
charge of the business generally, and

The motion prevailing. Mr.. Ander-

peech nominated Allen g. Campbell,
II Beaver County. The name was
eceived with loud and prolonged
tampiug.
At the request OF General Maxwell,
he band struck up the "Oampbells
ne Coming" amid the laughter and
applause OF those present.
Nh. NJ. III. Ksighn moved that the
nomination be made unanimous,
Vhen Mr.. Harrington nominated

however. declined.
The motion to make the nomina-
ion of Allen G. Campbell the unani-
nous choice OF the convention was
hen put and unanimously carried
With loud applause. At this moment

nd of the hall. on which was in
cribed in bold letters For Congress,

y" At fret the audience laughed
nd applauded a little. and then burst
nto continued stamping.
Judge ]. B. VsnHagan here arose
nd called on Judge A. Hsgsn to
make a speech, which he thought
you'd now be Of interest, as the gen.
leman was going away.
Judge Hogan took the stand amid
he stamping and applause of all
present, the band again playing THE
Jampbells are Coming" He made
somewhat lengthy speech, in which
