Hondan Chickens.
A correspondent in the English
Journal of Morticulture g iv ® B I St
lowing account of his experience with
H I U have reared an average of nine
chicks from every Bitting of thirteen
eees during the past two seasons, no™
breeders*would call this good luck but
in my opinion it is what
the commonest attention might do with
Houdaus in the most limited space for
re r‘e U a g re C d hi a.lmy birds in asandy -yard
for the first three days, giving
egg boiled hard, with bread crumbs
and lettuce, and after the third day
their Btupie food was middlings and
lettuce, with an occasional handful ot
shelled oats. With this lood, supplied
little and dften, the birds grew with
wonderful rapidity, and an aptitude
to make flesh is a strong argument in
favor of the breed for table purposes. Its
flesh is delicate, tender and nutritious.
Mv Houdaus batched in April were At
to kill a mouth before Dorking chickens
of the same age ; butuulikeother fowls
the hen birde are the most rapid of
orowthi and when only a few hours old
may bedistlnguisbed fromthecockereis
by their superior vigor and. larger
crests.
As layers the I-loudanswill hold their
own against any fowls with which I
am acquainted ; their eggs are large, of
a hue rich flavor, and equal in weight
to those laid by the famous Spanish.
The Houdaus never sit, which is an
other strong argument in their favor;
f jrcoopmg, auU ail its attendant trouble,
are thus saved, and. the«e birds, after a
couple of days’ rest, recommence lay
ing, whereus “ chicking hens” are the
pest of the amateur’s life.
The Houdun is gentle, very tame, and
of a contented, stay at home disposition;
not at all a dainty feeder, and not ad
dicted to scratching. As a proof that
fanciers are becoming alive to the in
creasing popularity of Houdans, I may
point to the fact that the late National
Poultry Company at theirsule obtaiped
£8 IDs. for their cock aud hen, which
was the highest price paid for any two
birds amongst the eight hundred sold.
farm Horses,
Depend upon it, some good, active,
powerful English cart horses would
make a vast improvement if used with
the light mares which do the work on
the farms at the present day. It is not
expected any of this cross, sired by the
. horses weighing from a ton to twenty
five hundred pounds would tako prizes
s as trotters, but thoy would be fast
enough for any-purpuso besides racing,
and the race course is likely to be dis
countenanced by business men erelong.
The fact is that when farm draught
cattle are small, when the ploughing is
' done deep, there is too much stress on
the sinews, for there is double the strain
on Lhe poor overworked animals that
there is on those whose weight alone
will almost move nil the other can stir j
with continued effort.
The curt horse in England was for-,
merly too clumsy a beast, having hair
on the legs as Jougasauordiuary mane,
but the improvement of the last gener
ation has given a quick step and clearer
legs, still retaining all Lhe size neces
sary for moving heavy weights without
the constant lugging which stiffens the
tendons and joints of Lhe blooded trot
ing race of unimalsso generally used on
the land in America.,,A great many o!
the* finest carnage horses list’d by the
uobili y in England have one third ol
this curl horse breed in them, for many
farmers put cart mares to a thorough
bred stallion, and when the progeny is
a mare, she is put to uuolher thorough
bred, which gives powerful showy
harness horses from the second cross,
being very saleable on account of their
suitability fur several purposes.
Salving Off and Boring Cattle's Horns.
Professor Spooner, President of the
Veterinary College, London, on a trial
in Dublin, cave the fniluwiug evidence :
—‘T have said that J consider this to be
a very gross act of cruelty, ami for
this reason, that the horns of oxen
are unlike those of the deer specie.
They haven large proportion of bom*
growing out from the bunu of thehead,
ami that is surrounded by a heavy sen*
sitlvo structure, so that, to cut tire
horns, they had to go below where it
was simply homy and the animal hud
-to sutler great pain. Thu nearer the
operation was performed to the skull,
the greater tin* suffering. Jfhal
none was hollow—[hat is to say,
it had noL ono single horned cavity—*
but it had several Cells which extend
ed into the head, though not to the
brain, but close to. it, These cavities
were exposed, by lhe removal of the
horns, to the air ; ami as they are lined
with a delicate, sensitive membraue—
there being besides a delicate, sensitive
covering outside—great suffering must
bo caused. The cavilits were never
intended by nature to be exposed to the
air, which broughton an inflammatory
condition. These cavities were very apt
to bo inflamed, and the inflammation
was very likely to be extended to the
membranes of the brain, causing mad
uesd, lockjaw, or other dangerous results.
Tilts operation E one of the most dan
gerous and unwarrantable that could
possibly be performed on cattle.”
We commend the foregoing to the
attention of men who commit horn
vamlalism.—Jiiiral American.
Cttinidiur to Stop Bees Bobbing.
On account of the (?reut number of
alodial kept in one celiur, I was com
pellet!, on wintering them out, to remove
only a portion of them in one day, to
prevent the hues from mixing up too
much. Those taken first were conse
quently prepared to go to work when
those hi»t removed were brought out,
and they attempted to rob the latter.
When this was discovered, they hail
already got a good start on some of the j
stocks, and 1 was puzzled how to arrest
the robbery. At tbiatimo 1 had pur
chased a small parcbUof camphor for
some other purpose, and it struck me
that I might stir up the sluggish and
inactive ttucks which nullured them
selves to be robbed without resistance,
by inserting usmall pieeeofeumpUurin
the entrance of their hives. I immedi
ately did so, and was not a little pleased
to 11ml that the ellbet. was to frighten
the robbers, and to arouse the inmates
of the hive l«> vigmous resistance till
they drove oll’every strange bee.
A week later, when 1 wintered out
the bees of my northern apiary—all of
which were lakeii out in one day—one
weak colony was violently attacked by
robbers. 1 pushed a piece of camphor
through the entrance, and had the
pleasure of seeing the name result. At
tempts at robbery hail entirely ceased
next day, although this colony proved
to be quectilo-s, on examination about
three weeks later Jicr. JvunwJ,
Influence ul' Hil* Sun on Fruits,
Never was there a greater mistake |
made than that of supposing Unit fruit i
produced in lhe shade has the lest llavoi; (
it is a false notion, the mere i iumera of ;
half a century ago. The brack Hamburg I
grape is, to some extent, an exception,
for its berries will not color it the ,
branches are depiivid of too many of
their leaves, so us to let the sun io among j
they bunches too freely; whereas, the;
Muscat of Alexandria will not attain its j
rich amber color if so much over
crowded with leaves as to keep the rays
of the sun from penetrating freely
among the bunches.
A piue apple produced in the winter
has net the lluvor of one ripened iu the
summer months of the yeur, when the
sun Is powerful. Again, under the old
method ef planting strawberrie- in beds
fo.ur feet wide, the Iruit is not to be com
pared either in size or lluvor, with that
of those planted out iu single rows.
Now, wluu is tin* reason of this ? I con
tend that it is in consequence ul the
action of the sun upon the fruit. The
fruit bhuded h.v the leaves will always
be more or less jumped and worthless,
as compared wiihthuton which the sun
has hud full pluy. It Is the sun that
puts iUvor into our fruit.— Journal of
Horticulture.
Forty-Mx lours’ Experience.
A farmer who Inis hud experience as
a funner for forty-six years, gives to the
American Ayricuttvrint some notes on
his farming practice. Among other
tilings lie rtmur-ks: “Somemen say that
corn will degenerate and run out. My
father got a Kind of yellow twelve-row
ed corn iu the your of the great eclipse.
In 1800, which I remember very well. I
took it from him in tho Bpring of 1820.
and huvo It now. It la an early sound
corn, very easy to husk. lean raise
eighty bushels of shelled corn to the
aore, with no extra labor, planting three
and a halt' feet apart each way. /have
another kind of eight-rowed yellow
corn, which I got In 1828, which will
grow aud ripen in ninety or one hun
dred days. Wheat, oats and potatoes
will degenerate aud wear out (with or
dinary culture.) * * * * *
We do not harvest, our grain and cut
ovr hay early enough in this country.
When I commenced farming I was
closely watched by my neighbors, who
said 1 ploughed too deep, cut my hay
too early, and cut my grain too green.
I have farmed on twelve different farmß
and the result has been I have tripled
the crops on an;average.

REMARKS OF HON. WM. A. WALLACE.
Hon. Wm. A. Wallace then said:
Gentlemen of the Convention;—l invoke to
your deliberation a spirit of harmony and
concord. Unity of purposeand a determi
nation to win are essential to success in the
pending struggle. . Principles are every
thing, men nolhing. This truth has given
vitality to our organization and enables us
now to point with pride to our grand old
party, which in success or disaster, in vie
tory or defeat, has maintained Us prestige
and grown in numbers with each return
ing year.
Pour years ago a convention of the De
mocracy, without solicitation on my part,
i conferred upon mo the chairmanship of
I your committee. I accepted as a duty ,
I what I bad not sought as an honor. Three .
1 succeeding conventions ratified that action
without opposing voices, and obeying your |
wishes, I have done what I could to bring
success to your standard, and victory to the
principles I love, and in whose defence I
have earnestly labored. The baton of au
thority you gave mo now returns to you as
the representatives of the Democracy, and
I I resume my place in the ranks of her
j applies.
1 ELECTION OF TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
General A. H. Coffrotb. I move that
Hon. William Hopkins, of Washington, be
the temporary chairman of this conven
tion. [Carried unanimously, amidst ap
plause.] , , .
On being conducted to the chair, Mr.
Hopkins spoke as follows: ■ .
Gentlemen of the Convention: Vain in
deed would be the attempt to express in j
adequate terms the gratification I feel upon
meeting you again, and being called upon I
to preside over your deliberations. Being !
but your temporary chairman, it will not i
be expected that 1 should make any ex
tended remarks. But I cannot do less than
congratulate you upou the favorable auspi
ces under which we have met. The De
mocraey of the State have never been more
perfectly united than they are to-day; and
besides there are thousands of conservative
men who have hitherto co-operated with
the opposition, who are dissatisfied with
the conductor public affairs, and are ready
to unite with us in restoring tbe govern
ment to its former simplicity, purity and
economy, and to each of its departments
the functions which its framers intended
should be exercised by them respectively.
If, then, you will allow one who has been
a member of the great Democratic family
for over forty years, and one who has never
been inoro proud of his identification with
it than now, to suggest u word of counsel, I
would say, let us cultivate a spirit ofcon
: ciliation among ourselves—let our motto be
, “ Union for the sake of the Union/' and let
| ua extend the right hand of fellowship to all
i vvlio will uuilo with us in an effort to restore
our beloved country, in all its parts, to
piace, harmony and fraternal regurd.
I tljank you, gentlemen, for the honor
jou have done me, und am prepared to re
ceive uny motion to perfect your organiza
tion.

Mr. Buckalew was received with em

Ucnltcmcn and L’epresentalivcs of the De
hi'jcrncy of Pennsylvania 1 thank you for
lids signal mark of your coulidence and
Iriendship, in soliciting mo to preside over
the deliberations of a body so numerous
uml respectable, and whose duties, to be
discharged to-day with liJelity uud dili
gence, are *so important. These are not
merely words of form or usage. They uro
sincere and heartfelt also ; for I assure you
that if I know my own nature, if I cun
judgo of the pulsutions of my own breast,
they are in complete uuisou with you in
our common great enterprise of establish
ing and maintaining true Republican nrin
e.iples in these governments of ours—State
uml Federal—upon which the prosperity
uml welfare of our own people depeud, us
well as tbo progress of free, liberal instltu
lions throughout the whole earth. [Ap
plause.] Knit to you and to our great party
by tbu sympathies and labors of alife time,
it atlords mo pleuauro to thank you for this
manifestation of your coulidence and es
teem.
I understand, goutlemon of the conven
tion, that I have been selected to perform
the duties of this chair, not as the repre
sentative of any one of the candidates, whose
names will bo presented before you; but
by ibe common actlou of all.orofthe friends
of all my selection, therefore, has no algnl
licunco with reference to the ultimate choice
which Bhull bo made by this body. And
so tar us 1 am able, In administering for a
brief period of time those rules which uppiy
to your proceedings, I shall eudeuvoriu all
resppota to be linparllul and Just, und to
fuciiliato tho transaction of your business,
not only by an exhibition ot fairness, but
by promptness also, and by u constant re
gard for all those duties which pertain to the
post of oholrman.
We are assembled upon this July after
noon for the purpose of uamlDg, as we hope
and oxpeot, the seventeenth governor of
Pennsylvania. [Great appluuse.] Under
the existing Constitution of our State,
which wus established in 1700.
We think, and in this we believe our opin
iou agrees with those of our,fellow-oitizens
generally throughout the Commonwealth,
at least with the opinion of a decided ma
jority of them, that the man who now fills
the Executive Chair in our State govern
ment, is unsulted to the performance of his
I duties; that he has not exhibited in that
I great office that fidelity and ability which
are demanded by our common Interests in
those various positions of governmental
duty which were established lor the protec
tion of tue people, and the promotion of
their common welfare. - _
Gentlemen, at this time .the omens are of
good and not eyih We are entitled to ex
pect, if not to claim, that the people of this
State, at the election in Ootooer next, will
determine that there shall be a change in
oar State policy, and that a new man shall
be called upon to administer our domestic
affairs [applause], and indirectly, at the
same time, to pronounoe condemnation
upon the policy of the present Federal ad
ministration, which, within the brief period
it has held the power of our common gov
ernment, and discharged its duties, has
shown signal incapacity and unfitness for
the discharge of publlo duty.
One of tbo facts which is cheering—which
is an omen of success—is-the good feeiiDg
which, upon the whole, is prevailing among
our candidates and their supporters, pend
ing the canvass of this nomination for Gov
ernor. Very little bitterness bas been ex
hibited. I believe we may expect which
ever one of the distinguished gentlemen
who have been named shall be selected as
standard-bearers in the coming contest, will
secure the cheerful support of those who
may fail in securing the nomination of this
Convention. '[Applause.]-Now, gentlemen,
it would be untimely and inappropriate,
before our nominations are entered upon,
to address you at length upon those public
questions and those public considerations
which pertain to the approaching election.
Occasion will be taken by me hereafter in
performing my duty to my fellow citizens,
to discuss tho issues of the. hour. These
matters will beJaid before the people and
discussed, and, as we believe, they will be
understood by them, and their judgment
will be Unhesitatingly pronounced upon
them. Notwithstanding the discourage
ments of past years notwithstanding
the fact that we have gone through a
p' od of party adversity, we are still bope
fu, and confident of the future; we still be
lieve that men are fitted for self-govern
ment. We believe that the American peo
pie, misled and misgoverned as they have
been, will yet redeem their character—will
! oluck up tiorn those deptb3 to which they
i have been committed, the constitutional
I principles which are essential to our salva-
I tion and will thrust those men from the
I places of power which they have disgraced.
I [Applause.] We desire to reform our sys
tem of finuuces, State and national. We do
I not believe that the achievement of Gov.
| Geary in turning certain public loans from
| five per cents, into six per cents, was an act
| of wisdom, or an act which should be to!*r-
I ated. We do not believe that the swelling
of our State expenses from year to year will
! be approved or long permitted by the peo
i pie. Nor gentlemen *do we believe that the
people will approve in the government of
tho United States the failure of the party in
power to pay as they ought to have since
the restoration of peace, some five or six
hundred millions of dollars which continues
to oppress the people.
I must pass over several topics which in
vite us to debate, and will conclude with
but a few additional words.
The office of Governor of Pennsylvania
was stripped some yeurs ago of a largo
number of its prerogatives. There are now
butcomparalively few Buch connected with
that office; but a few original powers, as
the purdouiog power which should bo
rarely exercised ; in short, his authority is
very much limited and brought below
what it wus in former times. But there
are still important duties for a Governor
to discharge ; the principal one is tbut of a
check upon thelegislativedepartmentofour
government, and it is important thut the,
people of our State should pluco bore at
its capital an executive of intelligence,
and one who will prove himself firm,
faithful and courageous, a mun who will
constitute a rullying point, around
which all the sound elements of public
morals and public action can concen- ;
trate. Yon know that within the limits
| of your own •'lute, great complaint has
been made, and with good reuson, in re
: gnrd to tho action of the legislature.—
i Why has this been so? Why has the moral 1
1 tone of public action been so exceedingly j
I low in Harmburg, whore private and local |
! bills,by the hundred are rolled out of the j
j legiaiulure to vex aud pluudei the public, '
i [Applause,] und tbo character of the people
j anti of the Slate lowered by this manner of :
' legislation? It has been becau-OHn inca- j
■ publo and unworthy man bus been seated j
, in the Kxecutivo chamber, a man on whom !
the people cannot rely; one who has not ,
successfully opposed corrupt legislation—a •
mail, in fact, the very instrument of ilmuo ;
whose evil reputations are known through
out the Commonwealth Is (here a reim*
dy? Yes! It is in tho hands ol (he people,
and we confidently feel that it will be sup
plied by this convention, and by the peo
ple. [Applause.]
I do not mistake v hen l\iny that no mat
ter which one of the candidates before us .
shall be nominated for the ollfc-e of Uover- I
nor, he will puss into that office, in cuso ol
Ids election, v/ilh a will, u capacity, and a ■
support which will purify the government !
and its institutions, and will redeem the I
character of the people from the evils thut j
have fallen upon them, because public meu j
huvo been placed in office unqualified for !
and undeserving of the positions thev now
hold.
Having selected such a candidate, lei us
associate with him sumo lawyer of ability
and integrity, who will go upon the su
prenio bench not to obey the behests of j
party, but to be governed by the law ; not j
a judgo to tamper with the elections and j
the ballots of the people, [applause] but j
who will stand up for the law through
"good and evil report,”- who will lay dowu
always with fidelity the doctrines of Tilgh
ruun, Gibson and Black, and of other ju i
dictal dignitaries who have illustrated and
honored our judicial annals.
With such men, we may confidently ex- I
pect that thecharacterof Pennsylvania will
bo placed once more upon n secure and *
stable foundation. [Applause.]
Mr. Hopkins (Washington.) 1 desire '
1 to present to the conniderutnm of mem- !
hers of this Convention a resolution, !
which, sir, I doubt not will receive a !
cordial, though perhaps it may be a sad i
response on the part of delegates to this !
Convention. The subject ol this resolution, 1
sir, has a reputation as wide as the Com- j
monwealth Itself; and I hesitate not to say .
a man whose public and private character
has seldom had on equal lor purity nnd in
: tegrity upon the face of the earth. I allude ;
i to the Hon. Arnold Plumer, late of Venan- ;
I go county, who was appointed a delegate
1 to this Convention, but, who, iu the Provi
| denee of God, bus been taken away,
i The resolution was read and passed as ,
. follows: .
Itcxolved, That this Convention hasle nn- |
ed, with the deepest sorrow, of the death of i
the Hou. Arnold Plumer, lately of Yen ,
ango county, who was elected a delegate to j
this body, and that in all the relations of
life, public und private, Mr. Plumer was a \
model of purity, worthy of the imitultou of •
all who survive him. ;
On motion of Mr. Ziigler the resolution i
was ordered to be printed, nnd a copy sent 1
to the family of the deceased. 1
The Committee on Contested Elections
made a report, which was adopted. i
Mr. Hughes, from the Committee on Res- |
olutionsi submitted the following report: I
'lho Democracy’ ot Pennsylvania iu Con- I
vention met, do unanimously declare— I
1. Thut the federal government is limited t
in power to the grants contained in the |
Constitution ; that the exeroi-e of doubtful j
constitutional powers is dangerous to the |
stability of the government and the safety I
of the people, and the Democratic party will |
never consent that the State of Pennsylva- j
niu shall surrender her great right of local |
self-government. |
2. That the attempted ratification of the i
proposed fifteenth amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution by the radical members of
i the last Legislature, and their refusal to
submit the snme to a vote of tin people, was
a deliberate breach of their official duty and
an outrage upon every citizen of the .Slate,
and the resolution making such ratification
should be promptly repealed and the
amendment submitted to the people ut the
polls for acceptance or rejection.
3. That the democratic party of Pennsyl
vania is opposed to conferring upon the
negro the right to vote, and we do emphat
ically deny that there is npy right or power
m Congress or elsewhere .to impose negro
j suffrage upon the people’ of this Stale in
opposition to their will.
4. That reform in the administration of
the federal and State governments, and in
the management of their financial affairs is
imperatively demanded.
5. That tiie movements now being made
for the amelioration of the condition of ihe
laboring man Ims our most cordial (to op
eration.
6. That the legislation of the late republi
can Cougress, "outside of the Constitution,”
the disregard of the majority therein of tho
svill of people nnd sanctity of the bullot
box, in the exclusion from their seats in
Congress of representatives clearly elected,
the establishment of miiilury governments
in States in the Union and the overthrow
of all civil governments therein, are acts of
tyranny and usurpation that tend directly
to the des’ructlou of all republican govern
ment and tho creution of the worst forms of
despotism;
7. That our soldiers and snilors, who cur
ried the flag of our country to victory must
be gratefully remembered, und all the
guaranties given in tbelr fnvor must be
faithfully carried into execution.
8. Equal rights and protection for natur
alized and native bom citizens at home and
abroad: the assertion of American nation
ality which shall coraraund the respect of
foreign poworß nnd furnish an example and
encour gement to people struggling for
national integrity, constitutional liberty
and individual rights.
9. That tho present internal revenue and
taxing system of the general government is
grossly unjust, and ineuns ought at once to
be adopted to cuuso a modification thereof.
The report was nccepted und unanimous
ly adopted.
NOMINATION FOB GOVERNOR.
General Cofircth moved that tho Conven
tion proceed to pluoe in nominations can
didate for Governor. Agreed to, whereupon
Mr. Petrlkin nominated General George
W. Cusp.
Mr. Deluh'unty nominated Dunlel M.
Fox, of Philadelphia.
Mr. George D. Jackson nominated Asa
Packer. [Applause.]
Mr. Ij. U, Cussidy nominated General
Wm. McCaudk'HS, of Philadelphia.
Mr Sutton nominated Charles Rogers, o
Philadelphia.
Mr/ Anooua. In a great emergency like
this [here u fow words were inaudable at
the reporter’s desk] the name of one of her
distinguished citizens is already in the
hearts of tho democracy of the State for this
position. I fool convinced that his name
being presented to this Convention, that
should he receive the majority of the votes
for the poaitibn that we are about to nom
inate be cannot and will not decline the
position. With this impression, Mr. Pres-
dent, I present, in the name of Democratic
Berks, the name of General Hanoock.—
[Great applause.] .
Mr. Wallace. I deem It my duty, Blr,
before proceeding to a ballot, in behalf or
an honored name, in behalf or one whom I
know the people of Pennsylvania will al
ways delight to honor, to present an ex
pression of his sentiments before he is
plaoed before the public for the office of
Governor of bis native State. I have in my
possession a letter written by General Win
field S. Hancock, dated on the 21st of last
May, in which he explicitly and distinctly
declares that ho will not permit his name
to be used as a candidate, and that is with
out reservation.
The letter was read as follows, by Colonel
Carrigan
Saint Paul, May 21st, 18G9.
Dear Sib I hadithe pleasure to receive
your favor of May' first last, just before
leaving Washington for the west. My oc
cupation and duties prevented me from
promptly replying to your communication;
a circumstance to be regretted, for I was as
well prepared to express to you my views
then as now—and by having promptly
written I would have avoided the appear
ance of hesitation.
My views on the subject, concerning
which yon have addressed me, have never ]
changed, and I have fully expressed them l
to all persons who have in anv way com
muoicated with me to that eDd. lam ad- j
verse to intruding myself upon the public,
and have therefore ever avoided writing
anything for publication, although I have
authorized my correspondents to makeaDy
other proper use of ray sentiments. * *
feel highly honored by the preference
shown by my friends in old Northampton,
expressed in that letter. ~ 9 I must say,
' and without reservation, that under exiot-
I ing circumstances I cannot permit the use
!of my name in the convention shortly
j about to assemble. Were lln civil life, no
distinction would be greater to me than to
be Governor of Pennsylvania. I have fol
lowed the profession of arms since boy
hood ; and now.Jhaving acquired consider
able rank, do not wish to abandon the ser
vice. Beside, Ido not wish to enter upon
j a life in which I know I have bad no ex
; perience or education. * 9 There are
; those who could serve your interests better
than myself, whom the people would be
pleased to honor, and who would render
more efficient service to the peopleof Penn
sylvania than myself.
I am truly your obedient servant,
Winfield Scott Hancock.
[Addressed to Messrs. G. H. Goundie,
William Mitchell and others.]
Mr. Ancona It is the desire of the masses
that Gen. Hancock should betbecandidate
‘ of this Convention, notwithstanding It is not
’ his d< sire to have bis name presented,
[■ With his name wo will march forward to
victory over the strongest foe. He is well
known; he has never turned his back on
friend or foe [applause], and be will not re
fuse to accept in this case. I shall insist
upou casting my vote for General Hancock.
Mr. Delabunty, on leave given, withdrew
the name of Daniel M. Fox.
The uamo of Charles Regers was also
withdrawn.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot
with the following result:
