In political circles as to the final result OF the
struggle going on between the various asprants
for the democratic nomination for Register, and 1t
was given out late in the afternoon that the name
OF Hayes would be withdrawn In the Convention.
This rumor. however. had no foundation in fact
and 1t is now dead certainty that Morrissey win
not, under any circumstances, concede an inch to
those who have been endeavoring during the past
few days TO have q German put on the ticket In
stead OF the man OF Johns choice. so 1t may be
set down as beyond doubt that wickham and
Hayes VIII be nominated. 1t Is said, however,
that the nominations will not be made without
having a row over them. and chat Senator John
Fox, who heads the delegation from the First As

pected, but did not put IN an appearance. There
was no formal discussion on the situation, but q
simple interchange OF views took place as to what
was best to be done to secure victory Tor the re-
