this was the first regular order Of bust
ness. Two delegates were named for
the position-Fred Davy and John c.
McShane. Before the vote was conclud-
ed Mr.. Davy withdrew in favor Of his
opponent in a speech which was we'll re.
ceived by the convention, and was
doubtless the cause of Mr.. McShane de-
clining the craftsmanship and insisting
upon Mr.. Davy being elected by accla-
nation. The gentleman assumed the
position and presided in an able and in
telligent manner. He addressed the
convention and told them the necessity
OF the young Democracy being reorgan-
lied in the politics OF not only the
county but the state. His remarks
we're appreciated by the assembly and
