I Upon motion Of Mr., HutcliiEs. it
was agreed to go into the election Ivy
ballet Ct nine delegates to represent
the county il the district convention
at Herman, August 5ih. but there
was little attention paid to this in
the subsequent action of the conven-
tien in its selection, and delegates
were elected in whatever way fancy
or enthusiasm Dictated. Messrs.
Chas. Pepper, NJ. Finnegan, John
Maginnis and d. c. Smith were elect
ed ut the start by acclamation. Then
there was ballot taken upon the
nominations Of Messrs. John Il. Per-
kins. G.. G.. Thorpe and L. j. S,hlatt
man. Mr.. Thorpe received fourteen
OF the tw.nty-three votes cast ard
was declared elected delegate. A
second ballot, for whcih the names of
II. J. Hall, Geo. BoTriiI. and G.. Sax,
were presented, was declared in favor
OF Csc. Borlill, who had fourteen of
the twenty-seven votes, until it was
noticed that the report of the commit
tee on credentials had announced but
twenty five votes in the convention.
This ballot was tEerenpon declared
invalid. Mr. John Borrill, who, by
the way appears to have been the one
whom the convention desiredto honor
on tie previous ballot but failed, on
account of n misapr lication of names,
was nominated and elected Ivy accla-
nation. 1t then transpired that the
delegation from Rendsviiic had failed
to present its credentials at the pro-
per time bit had voted on the invalid
ballot above referred to, hence the
confusion. after some little wrang-
ing upon the previous decision OF The
chair upon this point, the matter was
dropped, and on motion Messrs- Brant
and Holmes were admitted to tie
convention as the representatives of
the town of Rendsville. Messrs. T..
J. ScIirlttman and w. u. Colyer were
then nominated, and upon balloting
