It had been very lively day, but the
time was coming around fast for still
liyelier termination OF it. Gallaher had
not come to Clarksburg for nothing. He
had not yet been reconciled to Baker, he
had for years been waiting with a set
speech, full Of thunder and statistics,
which he only lacked an opportunity to

beginning he demonstrated TO the con-
vention that josef Gallagher was the man
to go to Cincinnati.
Mr. Chalfant placed J. NJ. Bennett, OF
Lewis county in nomination.
Colonel Philo Kimberly, OF Ohio coun-
