The quarreling com menced on the introduction of a resolution to the effect that the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association withdraw from the convention, and that any ticket which might be named should not be

Then motions were put in quick succession on which the chair gaye very unwarranted decissions, aud which raised such a turmoil that in the midst of it Webb Casto moved to adjourn. The chairman refused to put the question, so Casto put it himself with the result that a big portion of the convention got up and left the hall. After this comparative quiet reigned and finally the following ticket was nominated:

Among them were Green Smith of Jennings, and James McCabe of Warren county, candidates for attorney general Mr. Burghoff of Allen county, for treasurer of State Col.
