Smith for president Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, and John Humbird, Patrick
Hamill, James e.. Berrett, Spencer Watkins,
James A. l.. Mcclure, and l.. Victor Baugh-
man for directors. The governor opposed
this, and there was some heat in the discus
sion that followed, the governor throwing out
his protests vigorously, and in so animated q
manner that his stentorian tones were heard
in the executive chamber. On the call of the
roll the same old two to one story was re-
peated. Messrs Heating and Compton voted
aye and the governor nay.
When the board returned TO the executive
chamber, Mr.. Heating said he had been au-
thorized by the board of public works

Mr.. Keatng. / will finish my words In my own
way.
He then proceeded to read the resolution,
saying that the board had authorized him to
cast the vote-a majority of the board
and cast it for the following ticket, which he
read, as above.
On tho call of the vote, the state voted her
1000S for the ticket, the governor having no

each representing five votes of private stock,
voted for the states ticket except for them
selves, and substituting the name Of Thomas

the president and directors elect their election.
Adjourned.
Before the vote was taken Judge Edmonds
desired to have representative from the Dis
trict of Columbia and United States govern
ment put on the list Of directors suggesting
Gen. j. II. West.
Mr.. Keating said they would have been
willing to have put on the name of Mr.. Thomas
p. Morgan, but another name was suggested
to them.
Judge Edmonds said Mr.. Morgan was no
longer a commissioner of tho district, and
that was the reason he was not suggested to
the directors. They asked a representative
from the commissioners.
Mr.. Heating said that the majority of the
board of public works was unwilling to dele
gate to the United States government the
right to select representative in the canal
board.
A letter was also read from Mr.. Morgan de-
clining reelection.
The proceedings to-day were chiefly Of the
cut and dried pattern, the caucuses and whis-
perings being all made aliunde to the governor.
IL is understood the programme was fixed up
yesterday at Senator Gorman's, at Laurel.
