The discussion waxed warm for soveral hours, and tbe utmost excitement prevailed. Th convention ball wa packed to suffocation as tb partisan of Hull and Prouty were enthusiastic and dsmonstratlve. Tbe committee rejected the minority report and adopted the majority vote. After the minority report ot credentials committee bad been been rejected and ma jority adopted seating tbe Hull delegate In convention, the delegation to congres sional wa selected and county ticket named.
