Addresses we're msds by nearly all the

name. Maxwell, ss shown by. to.night's
caucus, il clearly the choice of large
majority. J. ". Msson peremp.o.ily re.
fused the nomination before to-nisht's
meeting, snd Gen. Flick's friends were
authorized not to use his name.
The caucus has just adjourned after a
mcss harmonious termination cf debate,
that lasted over three hours. The uen
who came opposed to Judge Maxwell ad-
mi:ted the imperative necessity Of his nom.
nation, and unless something unforeseen
prevents he will be nominated in the

There Is a rumor here tonight, appsr.
emily well founded, that Col. McLean's
friends will presen. his name in the morn

Who has been handling Mclean, says he
will peremp.orily withdraw his name il
