have him to accept another place on the ucket

There are delegates who still talk in favor
OF the nomination Of Mr. Evars although is well un-
derstood that he is not candidate. There is more
less talk Of Mr.. WadswOrth, Noah DAVIS and JOhu H.
Starin while Andrew ID. White is recognized as having
al the elements OF strong candidate. The nomination
OF any one OF these would surprise no one.
