Dow 131 votes and ex- Judge Sheldon "A, with one scattering. A few minutes later Councilman Geo. F. Booth was unanimously chosen sec retary. It was then unanimously voted that all the delegates, sixty in number. should be elected by ballot, and the nomination of delegates was called for. Some eight or ten names had been placed in nomination when ex-Judge Sheldon arose and endeavored to intro o Ia tne fhof ha nj f. ed to know whether or not the delegates named were in favor of the nomination of General Merwin for governor. You will find that out later on," was shouted by someone from the floor, and as Chairman Dow decided that the judge was not speaking on the motion before the house he was ruled out Of order.
