Called to order by H. E. II. Bower and Jas. J. Partüiall called to the chair, with S. W. Beakes, as Sec'y. Usual comraitteea appointed and conveution adjourned uiitll after the county coiivenlion was over. Upon fe-asscmbling the conimittees reported, and the temporary oftlcers were made permanent. Jas. L. Stone moved that a committee of three on conference with the greenbackers be appointed, and Jas. L. Ötone, Wm. II. Arnold and M. J. Lehman, were so appointed. After being out a few minutes, the committee returned and stated that the greenbackers would llkj to have Qeo. A. Peters, of Scio, nominated, but if they couldu't have him they would accept of Chas. H. Manly, as a candidate for representative. Hou. John J. Robison moved tliat Mr. Manly be nominated by acclamation. Mr. Bailey objected. He said it was unfair to the other democratie candidates. Had the committee recommended a greenbacker he should have acquisced, cheerfully, but they didn't, they recommended a democrat. That was no way to pring a candidate upou tliis convention. It was a trick to defeat demócrata who were as good democrats as he ever was, and how was it done, by a handful of greenbackers who were not residente of this district. "Is Mr. Manly a better democrat than Mr. Sutton or Mr. Gregory? Would this convention submit to be dictated to by a parcel of greenbackers? He repudiated it, and termed the trick the most ridiculous burlesque ever altcmpted to be perpetrated upon a people. He again characterized the attempt to nomínate Mr. Manly as "a burlesque, an outrage, a shame upon the democracy of this district," and closed by wanting to know "if we are men to sit here and allow it to be consumated." The appl'iuse at the close showed that Mr. Bai ley was not alone in his indignatlon. A ballot was ordered upon Mr. Robison withdrawing his uiotion and the result is as follows: iBt. 2(1. Chfts.H.
