THIS AFTERNOONS SESSION
When the convention was called to or
der by Pro TEN. Chairman Anthony, this
afternoon, after the call of the roll it was
moved that delegates leaving have the
privilege OF appointing proxies. The mo-
lion was unanimously carried.
John Montgomery, jr., moved that no
proxy be allowed except from the county
N which the delegate lives.
A division was called for on this mo-
ton and it was carried. The vote of Pet
lis county stood eleven agains. and one
for. The announcement of the result was
loudly applauded Why there was an at
tempt do otherwise only one conversant
with the star chamber process OF making
candidates can divine.
Much had been expected from the noon
intermission, but whatever hope had been
built on that was speedily dissolved by the
result OF the first ballot after the conven-
ton met.
Roll was called and the result was the
same as 1t was yesterday on the first bal
lot
Judge John A. Lacy appeared and pre-
sided over the deliberations.
On the 2O3d ballot Col. More received
thirty votes. This brought down the house
and ii was some time before order was re-
stored.
Pe,tis county seems to have the naming
of the fortunate man in her keeping.
CONSULTATION.
After the 22lst ballot, John Montgomery,
jr., arose and said that, under the rule, the
Pettis county delegation desired to retire
Tor ten minutes for consultation. The
privilege was granted, and the delegation
moved out OF the hall.
Some one moved that the convention
take recess for twenty minutes, aud the
motion WIS carried.
At $50 there has been no change i'm the
ballot, SO far as any material result is con-
cerDed. The monOtonOus call of the roll
goes on and the same reply is made to the
secretary. Ii now looks as ii the conven-
tiOn will hang ON for two or more days,
though Pettis may suddenly bring it to an
end.
The 223d ballot stood: Clark %, More
80, COsgrOve ID.
THE CAUCUS

marked all previous ballots had not been
done away with, aud after long parley IN
