Several speeches were mado and a good deal of warmth displayed, which rose to fever heat when one delegate tir ing of the wrangle moved "the previous question." After considerable further had been said, the chair said that he would havo the convention take a vote on the question of adopting the minority report, aud that the vote would have to be by yeas aud nays. In this vote 93 of those present answered to their names, 51 voting "yes," and 12 uno," This was interpreted to mean that the delegates selected by the meeting at the opera house on March 31st were recognized by some of the precincts outside of Astoria. The result was received with con siderable applause by those who re mained after the vote on the propo sition had been announced, the hilar ity of the Democratic contingent of spectators on the back seats being suppressed, bnt none the less satisfac tory to them. SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS. After the result of the vote was an nounced, adopting the minority re port of the committee on credentials the victors were hilariously happy, manifesting their applause by clap ping their hands, stamping their feet and then by cheering, during which time Secretary Patton and all the others who had voted against the re ception of the minority report, went ont of the hall, and the victors were left in possession of the convention. They seemed undecided at this move, and surprised at the departure, but soon rallied and business was commenced by a motion thatB S. Worsley bo chosen as temporary sec retary' which was carried unani mously, and he took his seat. J. W. Welch moved to proceed to the election, by a rising vote, of seven delegates to tho state convention, which was carried without opposition. Each was nominated and voted for until the five following were chesen: Jav Tattle, a A. McGuire, Martin Foard, J. II. D. Gray and J. W. Welch. Then it seemed as if things were getting mixed, and there were numer ous inquiries propounded, and several spoke as to whether they were pro ceeding in the regular way, until W. A. Sherman moved to reconsider the vote by which five delegates had been elected, and proceed to elect seven on one ticket, by ballot, after nominations had been made. This motion pre vailed. Robert Carnithers and W. H. Twi light were appointed tellers, and the following twelve men were placed in nomination for delegates. J. W. Welch, B. S. Worsley, C. A. McGuire, J. W. Hare, JayTuttle, J. O. Spencer, W. J. Ingalls, E. W. Wright, C. J. Curtis, Martin Foard, J. H. D. Gray and C. IL Stockton. A ballot was taken, each member of the convention writing on a ticket seven out of the above whom he pre ferred for delegates. When the votes were about to be counted it was discovered that the permanent organization was not yet effected, and after remarks by several, C. J. Curtis moved that a committee of three on permanent organization aud order of business be appointed by the chair, which was carried, and the following were appeinted: .brank Ward, C. J. Curtis and Dr. Jay Tuttlo. After a short conference the com mittee reported the followihg recom recem recom mendateons: First That tho temporary officers bo made tho permanent officers of the con vention. Second That wo proceed to tho elec tion of seven delegates to represent this county in tho Republican stnto conven tion at Portland. Third That a county central commit tee bo chosen, consisting of three mem bers from Astoria, and one from each other precinct in tho county. On motion, the report was adopted. The ballot for delegates to the state convention, which had previously been taken was counted, anil resulted as follews: Dr. Jay Tuttle, 5G votes; C. A. McGuire, 51; J. W. Welch, 13; J. W. Hare, 43; Martin Foard. 34; J. O. Spencer, 31; Frank AVard, 25; B. S. Worsley, 25; C. J. Curtis, 20; R. Car nithers, 20;E.W. Wright, 15; J. H. D. Grav, 14. B. S. Worsley and Frank Ward having received the same number of votes each, the former declined in favor of Mr. Ward, thus leaviug elected the seven highest as follews: Tuttle, McGuire, Welch, Hnre, Foard, Spencer aud Ward. Dr. Tattle moved that the county central committee consists of three members from Astoria, two from Up per Astoria, and one from each other precinct in the county, and that the delegates hero present from each precinct designate the names of the men they desire to be on the com mittee. The motion prevailed. On motion of J. H. D. Gray the con vention at 6:03 p. m. voted to take a re cess until 750 p.m. gates to tho state convention are hereby instructed to urge his uamo for that position. Iicsolrcd, That we hereby endorse tho action of tho last legislature in appropri ating money for needed county roads in Clatsop county.

As Filed in Thc Count Recorder's Office Ye.stcnlay. C. W. Fulton staled that while he was grateful for tbe honor tendered him, that as he was not a candidate ' for congress, or indeed for any office, he could not, in justice to himself allow his name to be used iu the reso lution, aud therefore wished it might be dropped. Dr. Jay Tuttle hoped that Mr. Ful ton's name would remain in the reso lution, and that in the coming contest or election the Republican party would stand solid and achieve a glorious victory. J. W. Welch was also of the same hopeful opinion. J. H. D.Gray also wished Mr. Ful ton's name to remain, and sincerely hoped that the party in this county would remain thoronghly united and thus be eminentlv successful. He said he was not a candidate for any office and should soon resign the ap pointment of postmaster, aud hoped a good nomination would be made, for the position. The resolutions as re;ortcd by tho committee were then adopted. It was moved by Mr. Ingalls that when tho convention adjourn, it be to meet at the court house two weeks from date, viz; Wednesday, April 23d, at 2 p. m. The motion prevailed. On motion of W. J. Ingalls the thanks of the convention were ten dered to the chairman and secretary, and also to the reiorlersof the Astoria press. On motion or Dr. Jay Tuttle the convention adjourned at 8:33 v. m.
