BREAKING AWAY TO M'BRIDE.
Before the result was announced a break
came from Butler County which changed
with IA for Mcbride and Warren changed
to be infectious. Delegates asserted them
selves on chairs and listened to Hooking
County give a divided vote to Mcbride, and
a voice from Hamilton announced 50 votes
for the mining candidate. For a moment
there was confusion and then Tom Cogan
challenged the authority for any such bull
letin from the P%orkopolis county, which
could not be given and the panic was
averted. But only for a moment. Then
came the booming shout, $50 for Mcbride,
10 for Young" and as rapidly as
they could be recorded Sandusky, Clark,
Holmes and Darke changed their votes,
and the nomination was made. At this
j~uncture a delegate from the Nineteenth
district moved that the rules be suspended
and John Mcbride be nominated by accla-
nation. Judge Norris withdrew the name
of Young and the motion was carried.
Major Armstrong, Hon. Henry BOIL and
DR.. Fulton. of Crawford County, were ap.
pointed to notify Mr.. Mcbride of his good
luck and went in search of the disciple OF
Mollie Stark.
