a process of incubation for some time,
awaiting an opportunity to spring Into exist-1

tlnguishlng qualities of Intellect that ciiarac- |
terized the gallant McGowati; and which, j

this unexpected nnd unsolicited token ofthelr
valuation of my merits for that honorable position.
The unabated devotion that I always
have cherished In my bosom and manifested
publicly time and again In behalf of tho glorious
cause of Democracy has not been kindled

me to the "vacant seat" and entertain a
hope of so doing, you are at liberty to make
the effort. If I am promoted, I will promise]

necessity In this instance call for a different
j course. It Islmpnsslble for the people to act
, Intelligently and wisely as early as nest Frl*
" day. .Sufficient interest has not been developed
to give this election such notoriety as
will call for an Intelligent expression of the
' I will of the people by that time. If we rep*
resent anything at all, werepresent our clubs,
j mid I think the necessity of the case calls for
I an Intimation of the wishes of this club. I do
* not believe that we have time to hold a prl'
1 mary election. 1 therefore move that this
! meeting nominate ft candidate, each club
j" j casting the vote of the clubs as has been dona
J ' heretofore.
I I)r. Gary?What the gentleman savs Is very
1 j true. We have a rule- governing the manner
: | In which our nominations shallbe made. That
rule ro<]uirnv that nominations shall be made
" by primary elections. We are instructed by

I should hi* made?
*| The President?Mr. Secretary, have you a
* copy of tlie constitution ?
' K. H. (iar.v?No; it docs not appear In the
H constitution. Messrs. Collinm, Parker and
, i ?? were a committee on rules. 'J'licy
" I reported that we should observe the primary
' I rl,'l'<
W. T. ]tenet, Kwi.?Mr. 1'resident, I under;
stand perfectly well the advantages of the prill
ntaiy elections. The expedlcnoy und lack ol
* I time are the only qutMions to be considered
! now. i'an we not adopt some resolutions to
L i avoid trouble. The shortest way out Is the
" j best. Is the action of thcconiinlttec binding?
JI T. F. Ulli-y?I urn uot accustomed to speak\
' Ing. We are on ticklish grounds. Ifltispos1
sible to hold a primary election. It would be
I better to do ko. l,et us leave no room for dlsj
satisfaction.
j A. McNeill?The newspapers go out froni
,! h'-re to-morrow. Theyeiiu give nil the notice
''iht is rei|tiired. 1 see no reaso.i todevlatr
j from the established rule. Stand by the pri,
marics.
. The President?With leave I will read the
constitution, 'Heads.;
' Mr. Hurl?Will the Chair bego;?d enough
to read the rule ?
The 1'resldenl?'These is nothing in the con1
stituiion to prevent a suspension of tlie <
' rules.
. Mr. Rurt?Wlicro is that rulu? I would
like to see it.
The I'resident?I have not a copy of the rule.
, Mr. {Secretary, have you the copy '.'
K. 15. <>arv, F.sq.?The rule was printed In
1 the village papers. [ have nota copy.
S. C. Cason, Kscj,?1 am not In favor of nominating
a candidate cither by the primaries or
this nomination. Why not let each candidate
go before the people. If we go to the primaries,
one rule will have to be dispensed
with?ilie majority rule?and we will have to
adopt the plurality rule. We need lmve no
primary or nomination. There will be no
opposition from the other party, and each
candidate may run on his own merits.
W. A. Parker, Esq.?If the primaries arc
held on Friday, the managers will have to
meet on Saturday. There are no mails leaving
* this place, and people living In tlic country,
away from the railroadsand towns would not
e know what u> d<>. My motion I# not opposed
" to the primaries. It lis the system we should
J srtek to. Jn this Instance, however, 1 cieciu a
I deviation from the rule, almost n necessity.
L?r. K K. Gary?Will the gentleman move to
" suspend the rule? We can get the sense of
* tiie meeting quicker in that way.
J; W. H. l'arker? I move to suspend the rule
) requiring a primary election.
? General H. II. Hemphill?We all know that
'* In 1880 we will have an exciting campaign.
* We ought to start oft right. We have now
e had primaries two years, and they have acted
II well. Whenever a candidate failed before the
people he retired with grace, when It lias
l* been ascertained that he was fairly beaten.
' A small number of men without conferring
e with their clubs may make a nomination
, which wouid lie unsatisfactory. So far as my
' friends are concerned they would be the last
1 to desert the party. So far as the people not
'* being apprised,as my friend from Greenwood
'j says, the papers go out from here to-rnorrow,
l" and by Tnursdaj at farthest, reach every s<c*
tlon of the County. They could vote I-'rlday;
ir meet and'count the votes on Saturday; and
0 report to each other at church on Sunday.
There would then be no stumbling block. It
was the salvation of the party In '7(5, and gave
's the common people a chance for a fair expression
of their views.
8- Mr. IJurt?I have no Idea, Mr. Chairman,
e | that the salvation of the country or the l>em'e
ocratic party, depend upon tlie primaries.
ie The county would no douot be preserved in
all its integrity, without the primaries. We
n have nineteen clubs, but only twelve arc represented.
Those clubs may not have been
represented here because oi an understandlug
t hat nominations were not to be made, 1
u am opposed to a nomination .with less
y than two-thirds of the clubs represented. I
rtlain of opinion, whatever bo the conves-1
nience, that a primary election should be ore
I dcrod. I recommend that each township
>f club take action. While I say ttjiii t am not
o excessive in my admiration of tB^'primury
i- I elections. It Is the rule, however, .and we
- should observe it. Jt is due to the clubs not I
represented. Let the nomination take Its
= proper course.
\v. II. Purker?I withdraw my resolution,
and themotiou recurs to Mr. Hemphill's res=
olution.
,e George Bradley?I am in favor of primary
e elections, yet I am in favor of suspending the
iS rule in this Instance. I live thirteen miles
from here. It Is a great deal of trouble to j
come here. It is too much trouble for so lit-I
tie. The people in my township do not ex- j
pect a primary election.
Isaac Keller?I agree with Mr, Bradley entirely.
We are not organized. We have no
managers of election in Smithvllle township,
n We will have to come here if we vote.
d| Col. B. 54. Herndon?We have no option in
c- the matter. We were instructed by our ulub
t. to vote for the primary, ilrst, last, and all the
Is time. We do not propose to discuss the quesl
tlon.
>- T. P. Riley?That is our position exactly.
Greenwood Instructed us to vote for the primary.
George Bradley?That Is exactly what 1
said. These gentlemen live in town. Itisno
trouble for them to have a meeting at any
time. It indifferent with those of us who live
in the country. I press Mr. Parker's original
motion.
Lewis Moore?The rules reqiurea two-thirds
majority to suspend a rule, and I move that
we stick to the rule.
Capt. W. J. Itook?I second the motion.
"8> W. (\ Benet?Let the motion he put.
Dr. K. H. McBride? I move to lay the mo
tlon of Mr. Bradley on the table.
J The President?How shall we vote?
\ E. B. Gary?Shall we vote the numerical
strength of our respective clubs, or vote as
individuals ?
W. II. Parker?Where delegations aro divided,
how sl?ll they vote? If a club has a
hundred members, with seven delegates?five
being in favor of the resolution and two
against it?
At tills point there was some confusion, Mr.
p. Herndon said?We can hear nothing in this
)n i Pllr' of the house.
)n The President?1The Convention tolll come
x. to order. How Is it, the pleasure of the club
Ijj to vote? In matters of proceedtire the votes,
xj. j are usually taken by Individuals;
HI! W. Magee?It makes no difference about
ill this. Any three memhers may call for a con|
tltutlonal vote. In which case each club
votes according to numerical strength.
The President?The Chair hears no cull for
a constitutional vote. It Is now In order to
vole on Mr. Bradley's motion as a substitute
for Mr. Hemphill's motion.
General K. R. Hemphill?In voting on Mr.
_ Bradley's motion, those voting "ny" will vote
: for tlie nomination by convention. Tliobe
' voting "tib" will favor the primaries.
! Col. B. Z. Ilerndon?It Isn't fair for a small
it; club to have as much influence as we have
12 with three hundred members. Wc call for a
or constitutional vote.
|'8 The President?It has been moved and sectl*
onded that we take"a constitutional vote" on
this question. Gentlemen are you ready for
I the question T m
, Dr. Gary?I mtfte to suspend the "mnjoilty
j rule."
Mr. Hurt?If you adopt this resolution
difllculty In getting men to assemble at t
, time will prevent ft full expression. I
opposed to the amendment. The special
vantage of the primary election is lo get
Jvolee.of the people. If we take the prir

highly Inexpedient to make a change n<

FINDS IN THE KAG-BAO. ^
Th? "finds" in the rag-bag and the rubbish-heap
are Hometimca not a little curi- ^
' * oub. A mistress allows Betty, the maid,
to keep a rag-bap; and occasionally Betty
cd yields to the temptati^a of putting into C
that bag articles which >re certainly nol J
rag's. But apart from any suspicion ol ~
( dishonesty, valuables find theiu??lves in I
-try odd places, through inadvertency or 1
[ - orgetfulness. j
\Ye need not say much about such small I
ereatures as insects, spiders, or li/ards)
>y- lhat are found by the paper-makers iu
n). bundles of esparto; they are unwelcome
for intrusions rather than finds.
A patent-lock was once found among ?
? the contents of a family rag-bag; and as 1
(it was wor,h five shillings, the buyer was
well content. An old Latin prayer-book,
bought an waste paper, had a bundle of
? nails, curiously linked together, packed
inside it. Hall->_/>voreigns and other coins j|
are found in cast-off pockets, in the heels j*1
of old stockings, and inside the linings of wl
I)S dresses. An old coat, purchased by a
j London dealer,revealed the fact?a joyf.il P?
my fact to the buyer?that the buttons con- ot
sisted of sovereigns covered with cloth. j?j

money, found their way into a bundle of so,
German rags that reached a paper-maksr. ^
The London Rag Brigade boys once found
a bank check-book, and on another oeca.
?ior. six pairs of new silk stockings, in
I waste paper and rags which they had" or
1 - . , . ti?
bought; these unoxpecwa arucies were, ic jl(
fVe honor of the Brigade, at once returned. ^
A rare find once occurred in the Hounds- m
ditch region. A dealer?of the gentle sex,
fre are told?gavo sixpence and a pint of ('*
^ beer for a pair of old breeches; while tlK>
) bargain was being ratified at a public
j home, the buyer began to rip up the garj
merit, when out rolled eleven golden guin.
j ens wrapped up in a thirty pound bank*
if"' ! note. We rather think, that in strictness
of law, the guineas of this treasure-trove
or-I belonged to the crown; but moat likely ""
j the elated buyer and tbo mortified seller
erH| made merry over the windfall. Many
i c w
people, in the daya when banking was little ;
understood, had a habit of concealing j ll
their spare money about their person*; I
thus, an old waistcoat, bought for a triile, j
was found lined with bank notes! But oX j t
all the finds, what shall we think of ? J *
