Just here Mr.. s. Augustus Sanders,

MIR. MACKrsKER, OF GEORGETOWN,
thought the Convention should 20 into n

the fitness and availability of :, candidate
for this Office. Mr.. Campbell would add
lustrc to the movement, but he should hc
consulted IA to whether he would accept
the nomination. 1t would not do for the
| Convention to nominate candidate who
would not serve.
Alter some further debate the nomina.
tion for Governor was suspended, and

ernor was also suspended. After a little
while Judge Mackey moved that the

Campbell was again sprung. Mackey
said that he had been informed by Mr..
W. j. Oliver that Mr.. Campbell was un-
alterable i'll his determination not to ac-
cept the noa,ination for Governor. That
he, Campbell, thought he could serve
his State better rs a member of Congress
from the First District, and that he
would be a candidate for that position.
Alr. fishburne wanted to know "if
Campbell Is not our only chance 2" and
to this pertinent inquiry Mackey indig.

The motion to go into the nomination
Of full State ticket prevailed.
J. HENDRIX M'LANE
was nominated, and the nomination was
seconded by w. w. Russell, who glori-
lied McLane as the standard bearer of
the party for the last four years and as
never having trailed its banner in the
dust. The nomination was greeted with
vociicrous applause and was confirmed
by acclamation. Loud calls we're made
for McLane, who said: II hardly know
what TO say, but if you will give me your
untlagging support we will have this Gov
ernment. am willing TO spend all my
efforts, and, if need be, die in the attempt
to carry our movement through. If you
don't mean business you are mistaken in
the nomination you have made. If you
stand by ME and follow me through

will have military government"
This bloodthirsty Grafton occasioned
another outburst of applause.
". w. Russell, +. J. Mackey and
Robert u. White were then nominated
for Lieutenant. Governor Russell and
Mickey were Withdrawn. White was
eulogized by Mackey, who said the ticket
should be headed by the plough and the

White took the floor, and after reciting
his devotion TO the party declined the
domination on account of his limited

This brought out Mackey again, who
said that he would make party speeches
In the State and spend his last dollar for
