TO FILL MOFFATT'S SEAT.

ISHPEMING, Mich., Jan. 27.—In the Republican congressional convention here Thursday Henry W. Seymour was nominated on the 116th ballot. The deadlock existing at the close of the convention Wednesday lasted during the forenoon session, where Col. S. T. Osborn threw a portion of his vote to B. J. Brown, of Menominee. Brown kept gaining steadily during the afternoon session until the 18th ballot, when he received 45 votes, one less than required to nominate. At this point the Hubbell and Adams men forced an adjournment to 7:30 p.m., and nominated Henry W. Seymour, of Sault Ste. Marie, soon after the assembling of the evening session. Hubbell made a desperate fight, but the sentiment of the convention was unalterably against him. 

Henry W. Seymour has been a resident of Sault Ste. Marie for years. He has served several years in the state legislature as senator and representative from his district.

MARQUETTE, Mich., Jan. 27.—The Democratic congressional convention for the Eleventh district of Michigan met here Thursday, and after a short and harmonious session, nominated Bartley Breen, of Menominee, for member of congress. Breen had already received the Labor nomination, and is, therefore, the candidate of both the Labor and Democratic parties.
