large and animated body. and resulted
in the nomination of James S. o Brien

a vote of 81 to 10. The nomination of
Mr.. O'Brien was made unanimous upon
motion of Senator Durant. During the
preliminary diminishing, in what was
very vigorous fight on each side. there
was some sharp talk. but if any
one was offended the probabilities
are that no further outward
hostllities will be apparent during the

reign by the time of the election. The
