nation, which was seconded by John ].
MURRAY. Thomas +. Bayard was nomi-
mated by Dennis Buckley. Kent had
unanimously nominated Arley b. Magee
of Dover, but his name was not presented
% the convention. Ii was evident that
New Castle had not centred on any can
dldate from that county, for Richard I.

that county. holding that Sussex was
entitled 10 the office. After Andrew J.
Lynch Of Georgetown had been nomi-
mated by John NJ. Richardson, the names
Of NeSsrs Cooper and Bavard were with
drawn by the men who had proposed
them. Then the nomination of Mr.. Lynch

nous.

nomins>e from each county.
