SELECTING THE DELEGATES.
H. A. Castle moved the appointment of
committee Of one for each ward and one
for the county, to nominate eight delegates
to the state convention.
Gen. Flower thought it would be better
to have the committee nominate sixteen
names, so that the convention should not be
bound down. He desired to see the county
represented in the state convention by rep
resentative men.
Captain Castle said he had no objection
to the suggestion, though the contrary had
been the course persued in the past, and
upon motion of George c. Squires. Captain
Castles motion was amended in accord
ance with the suggestion of Captain
Flower, and upon the further motion the
committee was directed to make their
nominations from the city and county at
large, without reference to ward or town
ship boundaries.
Chairman Gilillan appointed the fol-
lowing as the committee: R. Blakeley,
Theodore Sander, R. c. Wiley, John W.
Cathcart, ,Chas. Passavant, A. Schumann,
and Peter Bohland.

The names of those having received the
highest number of votes being read over
by the chair as the delegates elect
Captain Blakeley raised the
objection that, under the announcement of
the chair, it took majority of the conven-
ton to elect-whlch was, as will be seen by
examining the vote, thrust below the
belt at STANFORD Newell, who, while receiv-
ing twenty-five votes, had failed of receiv-
ing majority of the convention,
The chairman explained that he had IN
I derstood the resolution, when read, to mean
a majority vote OF the convention, but on
reading it as copied by the secretary, he
found that it said the eight persons receiv-
ing the highest number of votes should be
declared the delegates elect. and therefore
he should declare the eight gentlemen as
named designating those in the first col

county in the state convention.
