known to have been secured that the
secretary could not announce the vote
except 4021k for Mclean and 227 for

In the midst of the yelling a motion
was made to make it unanimous. This
prevailed while Kilbourne men were
yelling for verification of the vote by
counties. The convention then took
recess until p. m.
On reassembiing every possible effort
was made to nominate Colonel James
Kilbourne for lieutenant governor, but
after a dozen close friends had with
drawn his name and declared that
Colonel Kilbourne would decline, this
effort was abandoned. During this part
of the performance the committee ap-
peared escorting the nominee for gov
ernor and other candidates for that
place.
Ovation For Mclean.
Mr.. Mclean was given a rousing ova-
ton. He thanked the convention for
the honor and said he would make as
hard a fight for election as possible,
expecting all to do their part as he
would do his, part. Colonel Kilbourne
was most enthusia stically received and
addressed the convention at length,
thanking his friends for their loyal sup
port and asking them TO bow to the
viii of the Majority. He eulogiZed the
platform and held that principles were
more important than personal prefer
ences. Addresses were also made by
General Sherwood, Rice and Seward
and calls were made for Haskell and
Lentz who were absent.
Another effort was made to nominate
Colonel Kilbourne for lieutenant COVER
nor, but he was still in the hall and had
the chairman make an official an
nouncement that he could not accept.
