from that time on, for $50. ballots,
there was not change or break
save when Orrin Gould, Of Scioto,
voted "16 for NEAL" by mistake,
which he was not long in rectifying.
The vote was by solid delegations
Adams, ID for Pollard; Gallia Is for
Mccormick; Jackson, 13 for Atkin-
son; Lawrence, IS for Neal; Scioto,
16 for McFarland; Vinton, 8 for
Jones.
On the 361st ballot, Scioto made a
break, casting 9 for Atkinson, and Z
for Mcfarland, the other delegations
voting as before. On the 362d ballot
Scioto gave 10 for Atkinson and 6 for
Mcfarland. Vinton held consulta-
tion-and cast "8 for Jones!'
On the 363d ballot, Lawrence went
solidly for J. W. Mccormick. Before
Vinton was called, Mr.. Atkinson, Of
Jackson, appeared on the stage, made
a neat speech, thanking the Jackson
delegation for their fidelity to him,
and Withdrawing from the contest.
Charley was greeted with perfect
storm Of applause.
The 364th ballot resulted as fol-
lows: Adams, 10 for Pollard; Gallia,
Is for Mccormick; Jackson, 5 for
Pollard, 4 for Mccormick; and 4 for
Mcfarland; Lawrence, Is for Nc
Cormick; Scioto, Is for Mcfarland;
Vinton, 8 for Mccormick. Mr.. Nc
Cormick was then declared the nomi-
nee Of the Convention. Judge Pol
lit, on behalf Of the Scioto delega-
ton, moved to make the nomination
of Mccormick unanimous. This mo-
ton was seconded by Adams county
, and carried. Hon. H. G. Jones, Of
Vinton, withdrew before the fna
e ballot
The result was received with thu
! widest enthusiasm. A conlmitte.

: mick to the stand, where he was intro
d duced by Rev. |. Ell. DeBruin, ant
q spoke for short time in a practical
sensible and satisfactory manner. Per
y haps no Congressional Convention
e ever adjourned with better state o
% feeling than this Convention Of tn
u Eleventh District.
= = There were several opportunities t
e have brought about different result

" Jackson delegation had opportunitie

Is We have a good candidate-a plail

st not wait for the Democrats to- make
r nomination, but go to work in earne
sc for Mccormick. It matters not wh
,e his opponent may be. MeCormic
will be elected, but it would have
good effect to give him an unusual
Id large majority. Rally for McCo
mick.

1e the Biggs House, and the crowd tn
is assembled were addressed by J. v
IN Mccormick, H. c. Jones, c. A. Atkil
son, and others. There was lars
e. and attentive crowd. The leadir
ed feature of the speeches Of McCormit
and Jones was discussion of tt
