gan on nominations. That Of county attor-
ney was the first and James p. English
was nominated. Scarcely had his name
been mentioned than George W. Shields
took the floor and began nominating Lysle
!. Abbott. Mr.. Shields INDUCED in quite a
speech, in the course Of which be told the
convention that the reason be preferred
Abbott was that he considered him the
better man; he thought he was a more
competent lawyer. a more aggressive pros
ecutor and would make a better county at
torney than English, and be added that It
was not wise TO select men who stood
merely upon their regulations. Another
element Of strength which Mr.. Shields be-
spoke for his candidate was that he was a
better vote getter than his opponent.
John j.. O'Connor, Joseph Sherry and
others seconded the nomination of English
and W. II. DeFranee md several more
spoke in behalf OF Abbott's candidacy. The
vote stood: English, 1873; Abbott, 119.
