not allow the loyal states to receive 6sck
their share q the direct tax. and tie SEC
ond, that the southern stsIes should not
be required 10 pay their share. He would

nominated on the fourth ballot. Every
thing passed off pleasantly, and tie nomi
nee will receive the full party vote.
After the Senatorial convention ad-
iourned, the Delegate District Conven-
ton assembled. Hardy and Grant COM
pose the district, Hardy having eleven
votes and Grant three. Capt. John j.
Chipley and Samuel b Menamar were
placed in nomination, and the first ballot
resulted IN a tie. Several ballots were
taken with the same result, and
nominated General Sprigg, but the
latter declined. Several ballots followed,
with no change, and then efforts were
made to have both candidates withdraw,
but Chipley refused to agree to this. Boil
loting continued until o'clock, when: after
General Sprigg had several times been
nominated, aud as often declined, he waspu,
before the Convention and nominated by
reclamation. The General was absent al
the time, but committee WAS sent fol

after considerable opposition, he wa:
greeted with cheers. He said ne had moi
sought the nomination, and did not want
It, but having it forced upon him he would
accept, statement which provoked loud
applause.
The party IS in good shape all through
