votes in November next for Mckinley and

no choice, the roll call was again made
ana proceeded continuously until sixty-five
palIots We're taken. When'the result of each
roll call being the same as the first, and
the hour having arrived when the hall had
to be vacated because 1t was engaged for
the evening by a theatrical troupe, recess
was taken until Z o'clock.
At the latter hour the convention reas-
sembled at Onutt's Hall. and the delegates
continued to vote until go ballots were
taken, when effort was made, without re-
SUIT, by Mr. Gettinger of Frederick to
stampede the convention to A. G. St1rgis
OF Garrett county. During the baIloting.
several motions were made and defeated TO
take a recess, to adjourn to meet in Fred
