throughout, though the proceedings
were marked by friendly rivalry. Prior

chose DR.. T. II. Logan Chairman and S.
G. Smith, Esq, Secretary, of the dele

business demanded none. Itwas "busi-
ness from the word 60" and model for
economy Of time.

with Hon. II. S. White, Of Marshall
county, Hon. John II. Ruhl, Of Harrison
county, and Gen. |. II. Dufal, OF Brooke
county, as Vice Presidents. Mr.. Bore
man was escorted to the chair by Col.
George \. Caldwell and Capt. b. B. DOv-
ener, and received with applause. He
did not make any speech, owing to the
shortncss Of time, but returned his
thanks and called for n nomination for
Secretary. Mr.. Allison, OF Ohio county,
nominated Joseph D. Elson, and he was
elected.
Hon. William P. Hubbard moved that
the temporary organization be made
permanent; adopted.

gates present be declared eligible and
