JACKSON, Aug. 22.-Yesterday's
session Of the Democratic convention
did not adjourn I'LL daylight this morn
ing, making an uninterrupted sitting
Of nineteen hours. Pending the fifty
fourth ballot, Hon. I, Marshall Miller,
of Vicksburg was nominated attorney
general at 2 o'clock this morning.
Throughout the contest he was the
favorite in the race and continued to
gain support, till he was nominated.
He is comparatively young, but
is universally recognized as
a man Of much character and a law
yer Of pronounced ability. His lead
ing opponents were Wiley N. Nash
and a, X. Harper, Of Okalona States
Notoriety, the Bourbon Demo
cratic paper that was published at
Okolona a few years ago, which, on
account Of its extreme u~tterances
and Bourbonism, gained considerable
notoriety both north and south. The
name Of r. H. Thompson was with
drawn Of the fortieth ballot.
At 8 O'Clock this morning balloting
for superintendent of education COM
menced and continued till daylight,
when the convention adjourned till
eleven o'clock without reaching
a result. There were seven candidates
for the Office, but it was finally mar
rOwed down to w. L. Lipscombe and
j. r. Preston. After a hard fight and
spirited contest, the latter was declared
the nominee on the nineteenth ballot.
The convention adjourned. after be-
ing in session four days, the longest
session held in this State for twenty
years. The ticket placed in the field is
entirely unobiectionable, and is consid-
cred a very strong one. The Mighty
East, while 1t had a candidate for
nearly every office, failed to receive
any nomination.
Hon. j. M. Allen, Of Lee, moved
that the chairman appoint if-
ty able bodied men to conduct the
