The conference then adjourned sine die. A. D. Loxn, Secretary. guments. I do not concede this claim by right, hut for partv harmony will not longer continue the contest 1 will concede to the Republicans of JelYersou county and give them the candidate. This 1 hope, will end the jealous and unfriendly feeling between the Republicans of Indiana and Jefferson counties about Senatorial nominations, and that hereafter we w ill have a better feeliug and understanding. 1 hope my friondw ttlI over tho district will understand and appreciate tin* step I have taken. 1 do it from a sense of duty as a life-loug Republican, and for the harmony of the party. The success of the party is of more consequence to the people than the personal ambitions of Capt Mitchell or myself. Kor him 1 now request my conferees to cast their votes, and to him as my personal friend and t he candidate of our party, J pledge my most hearty support. Upon conclusion oi' Mr Watson's nddress, the president requested that a ballot be taken. I'pon call of the roll Capt. J. G. Mitchell received the unanimous vote of all the conferees and was declared the unanimous choice of the Republicans of the Thirty-Seyenth district for State Senator. Mr. Mitchell's conferees then preseuted the following resolutions, which w ere passed without a dissenting voice: Whereas, The contest in the conference of this 37th Senatorial district has been long and earnest, both counties having presented their claims in the best possible light, and in a good-humored and friendly manner have insisted on the nomination: And Whereas, In justice to Mr. Wntson it is admitted that his propositions have always been fair and liberal, he having been willing and proposed to submit to any way of settling the difficulty that was from hi., standpoint equitable and just. We recognize in him a man of ability and well qualified to represent this district in the Senate, anil at the same time he is faithful to the interests of the Republican pnrty and willing to sacrifice his personal ambition for its success ; The people of Jefferson county seem to have a settled convictioD that they have a right to have the Senator from their county lit this time. They advance and strengthen themselves in this conviction by many ar- I have also proposed to surrender my claims, retire from the contest and allow an acceptable third person to be nominated. All of these propositions have beeu rejected on tho grounds thot Jefferson county was by right entitled to the nomination. To now protract the struggle is to torment tho Republicans of the district, and imperil the harmony and success of the party. The contest must be ended someway. To do it some one must make n sacrifice. I am a Republican by education and conviction. With this view, then, i have concluded to surrender for the present my ambition to lie your Senator and allow the nomination of Capt. Mitchell, the Jefferson county candidate. The Senatorial conference reconvened in pursuance of last adjournment, at It o'clock a. m., Wednesday, September 7, 181*3. Conferees present—J. H. Rochester, E. B. Henderson, John T. Fuge and A. D. Long. (Mr. Rochester was empowered to cast the votes of the other Indiana conferees, Messrs. J. M. Marshall and 8. A. Campbell.) Mr. C. M. Watson being present, asked permission to address the meeting, he spoke as follows; Oentlemeu of the < 'itnference : I had an honorable ambition to represent this district iu the StaU> Senate, coming into the conference with the belief that as the representative of the county having the controlling Republican majority. I was entitled to and would be conceded the nomination. For two months the contest has been protracted and our constituents, the voters of the district, are becoming impatient for something to be done. 1 have submitted a variety of propositions in the hope of a satisfactory result. 1 have projjosed that a seventh conferee be selected to decide the nomination, then if this is not agreed to that the nomination be referred to the State Committee. At the home of the bride's father, Mr. Jacob Kllenberger, of Canoo township, Indiana county, occurred the scene of a pleasant wedding on the morning of September 1st, 1S1W. It was the marriage of his youngest daughter, Miss Myrtle Kllenberger, to Mr. Robert J. Hughes, of Smithport. The young couple were joined together in the bonda of holy matrimony by llev. J. T. Howell, of Punxsutawney. In due time all the invited guests were invited to sit down to a bountiful dinner which had been prepared, and such a sumptuous spread we have not seen for a long time, whilst the measure of enjoyment derived from partaking of it, neither tongue nor pen can describe. After dinner, tho young couple, with some of their friends drove to the home of the groom's parents, where they enjoyed a very pleasant evening. The Smithport marshal baud treated the newly wedded couple with a beautiful serenade. They have the best wishes of all their friends and acquaintances for success in life.
