dith. Add. C. Hinkson named John Do
mingos. The latter was not present, so his
name was withdrawn.
DR.. Manlove and John Rooney seconded
the nomination of Meredith, and in SO
doing took occasion TO score Carey for some
of his remarks relative to traitors III camp.
Rooney said ii seemed strange that good
Democrats were so backward about accept
ing nominations, and if they could not get
good men 10 stand in, then the best thing
to do was TO adjourn and go home.

paid his five dollars, said he was no speaker,

resign if he so desired. Someone said

called for, but no one either present or ab-

there was another long pause, and just as
it was about to be passed General Carey
got up and commenced making facetious
speech, talking about ''graveyards yawn-
ing" etc. He had made a mistake. He
thought the order of business was the
nomination of Coroner. He corrected
himself, and said there was but little differ
ence between them-one sat upon the
cadaver and the other got away with what
ever the cadaver left. He named for Pub
lie Administrator George r. Bronner. Mr..
Bronner was not present. but the Conven-
ton took chances upon his accepting, so
nominated him by acclamation.

present who wanted the Office. J. NJ.
