CITY COMMITTEE.
The chair was on motion Of Mr. John

SENDING FOR Mr.. REFS.
The convention was about to adjourn
when MIR. John w. Willis expressed the
idea that it would be good thing to send
for Mr. Refs and notify him of his nonl-
nation With this view he made mo-
ton that the chair appoint a committee
of three to wait upon that gentle
man and convey to him the
action of the convention. The chair in
view of this suggestion, and IN accord
ance with the sense of the convention,
appointed Joseph Ellis, r. l.. German
and VIM. Byrn as members of the COM
mlttee. These gentlemen immediately
went out and soon after returned with
Mr.. Refs, who was introduced. Mr..
| Refs does not profess to be much of a
public speaker, but on this occasion he
made little speech that for neatness
and appropriateness Is very seldom sur
passed. He stated that he had been
notified through the committee, of the
action of the convention, and that he
was very much gratified at that mark Of
consideration, that it was not subject
upon which he could be expected to make
very long speech, but that he would
assure all his friends that should
he be elected he would perform
the duties of the Office for which he hac
been selected with industry and honesty
and with all the faithfulness that coulc
be expected or desired. After returning
his thanks to the convention for the con
sideration bestowed upon him, he retired
and received the congratulations of his
friends, who are very numerous.
The convention then adjourned.
