The nomination Of a candidate for Secretary
of State was made with dispatch. John r.
East put in nomination his fellow-townsman
Robert Miers. A halfdozen delegates Sec
onded the nomination, and there were
other candidates Mr.. Miers named by &C
clamation. In very few words he accepted
the place. and he spoke the usual good word FOR
the outlook of the Democratic party, both State
and national.
The nomination of candidate for Auditor of
State was next in order. and when nominations
were called for there was considerable confusion,
and calls for both Munson and Dougherty.
Charles A Munson, of Allen county, was placed
in nomination by Senator Barrett, of Fort
Wayne; Hugh Dougherty by Representative
Mock. of Wells; and Whitley county
delegate named Eli w. Brown. There was
considerable confusion while the vote being
taken. The Doueherty men were particularly
boisterous until Marion county cast the major
ity OF her votes for Munson. DR.. James. of
Muncie, while not candidate, received AGA
votes. Cass county gave him i, Delaware 10,

Mr. Smiths speech was not the kind expected
by the convention and threw it into confusion.
