mittee was adopted unanimously.
About $50 people We're in the opera house
at each session yesterday and 1t is saft
to say that at least 100 Of them were Bur
lington people. At the morning session the
business was greatly delayed and when 1t
was begun moved with SloWness, the lack
Of leadership being very apparent In the
afternoon there was more enthusiasm and
the deliberations were conducted with
more spirit. Mr.. Clement was not in
the opera house during the morning but
in the afternoon he appeared shortly after
his nomination and made a speech of &C
ceptance. He walked with some difficulty
as he has been suffering from an attack
Of gout and is unable to wear his left shoe.
A platform was adopted by the conyen-
ton substantially the same as the alb
strnct printed in Yesterdays Free Press
