NOMINATION DIY.
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS
The Conventions of the Republican party
to nominate candidates for city and county
officers,. Representatives in Congress, one
Senator, and' Representatives -in the General
Assembly, met this morning at the
• places
- designated by the Executive Committee. The
proceedings of the several bodies, up to the
time of going to press, will be found ap
pended
Tbe Shoritralty Convention.
The cbiefest political centre of the day was
at 'National Hall. - Bereft "vas that the Con
vention to nominate a Sheriff was held. The
tieree fight for this high Office promised at this
assemblage scenes of extraordinary ..excite
went. It was known that the Walton dele
gates were inimical to ,the Leeds party, and
the latter just as determinedly opposed to the
fornier. in the event of there being,no show
of success, to either of thew prominent candi
dates, it- NVEII3 confidently asserted, that the
forces would join hands and voices in favor
of Bingham or - Massey. .At ten o'clock the
great crowd of delegates, 'with a slight mix
ture of the colored element, entered.
In a twinkling, 'John Lane, (the Walton
party representative) jumped upon the stage,
and was directly nominated for temporary
chairman. The nomination was ratified by a
portion of the delegates. Mr. Lane had not
tapped the desk more than• twice with a gavel
vinch he drew from his pocket, when Win.
Mott, a representative of the Leeds party,
was declared the temporary chairman, and he
jumped upon the stage; followed by R. H. K.
Elliott. who vraiipressed for the chairmanship
by the Berry delegates.
A scene of' great excitement followed. A
struggle'for the gavel was :licitly waged. It
was snatched (rota Lane's hands by the
Berrvites. and in a metne_lit___itercibl•
transferred to the keeping, of Elliott, the
Leeds' party man. A hundred delegates
crowded upon the stage, and a scene of
wildest contusion directly ensued. The desk
was overturned, and the stage chandeliers
were wrenched from their placa , i.
No sooner bad the desk"been replaced and
Mr. Elliott mounted it to declare the names
of the Secretaries, than Lane rushed upon
bini, snatching for the mallet. In the con
tention which followed, Elliott and Lane and
a dozen of delegates who were hotly pressing
flare on either side, were thrown from the
stage upoiv the floor—a distance of six feet.
Elliott, with remarkable alacrity, regained the
stage, but to find, the back of his coat ripped
to the collar. Stripping himself of the gar
m r et, he again stepped upon the desk, and, in
a. momentary calm, announced Dr. Crowell
and lsaae Mcßride as the temporary Secre
taries. and thas spoke :
" I desire to say that if it is the desire of the
COrivention thatl . shall not preside as the tem
porary organizer. I will withdraw. I tell you
that
- it is for the interest of the Republican
party these scenes of disorder should cease.
l'hose who want me for temporary organizer
say 'Aye: "
A roarin the affirmative was followed by
an equally loud roar in the negative, and the
fight_ was again resumed, during which the re
porters' desks were overturn ed,and the knights
of the quill themselves forced, for safety's
sake, into the stage boxes. Durin.e the melee
Lane's tat was smashed, and that gentleman
was seized by the arms and legs, and dragged
o -the-etige-of--th stager-the--Intentionr-ind
ditably being to force him (AL Happily his
progress oil the platform_was stopped by one
of the chandeliers, - which had been replaced.
He struggled out of the hands °PIM captors,
and, jumping upon a bench, cried out—
"As temporary Chairman of this Conven
tion, I nominate John W. Sayres and John
Thompson for Secretaries, and I want to
say—'
Cries of "Put him oat," irow him off the
stage," &c., and an uproarious boo-booing
drowned, to the reporters' ears, whatever else
be said. The Leeds party men then cleared
the stage, forcing off Lane and his adherents
in a twinkling. Thus the former proved tri
umphantr and Chairman William Elliott
waved - the baton Of power with an uncliar
lengedthotigh npt an undisputed—right.
He then announced that he would call the
precincts of the several Wards in numerical
order, in order that the delegates might regu
larly present their credentials.
In consequence of the great confusion in the
hall, and the large number of persons in it
not entitled to the privilege,qf the floor, it was
found Impracticable to proceed nntil thb - laall
had been cleared. The only persons then 'ad
mitted were persons with the requisite au
thority of a credential.
Until half-past twelve o'clock the time was
consumed in the presentation of credentials,
among which were six of colored delegates.
The 'IMO riy Jacob (0100) to a seat
from the Eighth division of the famous Fourth
Ward was denied. Nevertheless he presented
his credentials.
Chairman Elliott then announced that as
each ward was called oft; the delegates should
name agentleman to serve on the Committee

was,the confusion and disorder prevailing at

content iies of no trifling kind. John Davis
,Watsdn.'Esq., with the view of harmonizing..
tile-tumultuous. gathering, mounted a chair

date meet in different parts of the room, and;
that after_ a fair count, the choice of the Con:

in their'credentials at the door, so .that' - none
but, regularly elected delegates have access to
the room. This 'occupied some time and, the
delegates beingregularly. assembled, Con

but pertinent speech, returning thanks for the.
honor conferred on hini. This was received
