Tho chairman insistcd upon dividing thc u ual committeo upon jicnnanont orgunization and order of busiue.se. Was it to spread out the " honor " or fix up a iuodu of proccduro looking toward concili;ition of' the vanous cla.shiug ilans? Toniporary Sccretary Slioolian, must have ben omewhat4nib;irraHSod with the honor fihowered upon him, for in writing up hú minutes lio anxioualy inquircd of tho portera: Say, w&o wast nat tener tnat was ppointod as secrctary? " Upon being ioormed he blufchcd profusely. The jiulliog, hauling, button holing and m.iiBg was pn pruilt that not half the delepatos reachod tho tuorning session. A1J. Bosimcr was one of' the most proninent mon in the convention, and together with.Jako Torns, of Ypsilanti, puQed soinc of the winning wires. A eontcNting delegatiou from Webster, esulted in living that townahip oco extra lelegate. This was thought a better way han to kick one of the two prominent men of the township out of the conventim A rumor which gnined great mdenoé broughout the city was that a delégate to he conveution was buttonholed too " enhooziastically," and as a onsequence went down to interviow Sheriff Case in charge of an offieer. " It is moved and proceeded " is tbc way the presidir offieer put ono niotion. The way in which Mr. Cramer was "8et down " on by the chairman, Mr. Crane, when ho attcnipted to soften bil own fall by a little speech, soconding the unanimous noiuination of Di G. Kosc aa senator, was most unmercitul, and little calculatcd to lieal the bleeding wounds of defeat. Tho chairman got so excited he forgot to vote, that's why unly 111 votes appeared, at firet A tired democrat leaned up ogainst the gluss in tho north door of the court room and busted it. Tlic speeches inaking the uominations ware generally pretty stale, and not well reccived. In faet they generally beat the men for whom they were made. Crane makes Ihe best presiding officer the demócrata over have elevatod to that jomtion. Ypsilanti was not at al! backward about coming forward. Sho had at least one and sometimos two candidates for uoarly every office. In this way sho got three uomnees, but they never will swell that small $3,600 capital any. Tho general inquiry alter tho convontion was: " Who is the Kose of SharoD?" He isn't well known in this Bection.
