Saturday .was the day appointed for the meeting of the Domocratic County Club to consider the olec tion for oleiik of court and three county commissioners. The fifteen subordinate clubs had all been notified ; " and each sent a . delega tion freshly olccted. Early on Saturday morning the delegates and a number of other Democrats began to come into town, and by ten o'clock the streets- piresented a lively appearance. It -did one's heart good once .more to see the intelligence and property of the county . takin an intqrest in politics and having that- appearance . of confidonce in the result which .bas marked all good ..men . sinec the election of Hampton. As .ia well- known in the county, there were two parties ; one of which favored the selection for candidates of those only who were regularly enrolled nieibers of the Democratic party ; the other ;;) lieving that the Demoeratic party should gather aocrotionu of strength by .going outside of the ranks and selecting a .candidate not regu larly allied to the organization, but yet sympathizing in its aims. Much doubt existed as to which policy would prevail. At ten-o'clock a-caucus of the "straigh touts," as they were called, was held in the town hail, thirty-two delegates being present. They agreed to concentrato upon nuo candidate, and an informal bal lot being held, Mr. W. H. Kerr was selected. .Jt was claimed that this party had thirty-eight delegates, an exact majority of the .cnvention. But as this was coniidently denied, the general public was. compcl.:d to await developIments. Ateolevein o'clock the club .met in the. Court, Hlouse and wvas called to order by General Br1atton, County Chairman, avho. made an address of some length ad g3est .ctarncstniess. He recalled the events of .bbei last camnpaignl when upon01 one side of the line stood all the rascals, and upon the other all the good men. Hie w-~arned,. the club to ranembher that withi the uprising of all the friends of reform there was -not ooo too many. -At that time, one great issue, theo reonoratiJ2 of the State, united1 all the people, repressed all dif ferences and made them stejp together as one man. In that - omoergency, . no preparation was madec for e vents after the struggle urn tihe seventh of November. There was no timno then for trifling over details. Now that issue ha passed ; and attentionl must be turned to organizing thoroughlly .the party then createdl. We stand naw in the positiori of the victorious party resp~onsible for the *condulct of affairs. .We have resur rectedi our State, but have not re stored her to the full vigor of con stitutional beslth. Now, we require *calm wvisdQ~,to securo the fruits of victory, and being.freed from fears of outside opposition, must guard against internal dissonn;ions by lay ing down exact r~ules . to gorn il details. He beliovc'd he spoke tho sentiments of the Executive ..C~om-. X, -mittee when be said thlat tile club hlad been called to-day, not toamake - omination~s but to iperfect thle *or'ganization preparatory to enter - -ig the contost. However, the * clubs was..the highest authority of the party, and on the members dependad that question. -Upon thie club rested the responsibility of. seeing that its at tion, slopld be! well contideiwed,-adL w'heti-taken, well . sustained. gli pyj~ty is' peculiarly in :need of these procau.. tions at the present time, He ex pressed a confidence,,.however, *that| the club would act with wisdomr. - Congratlating the party .npon its' past triumphs, hedelrdhecu ready for business. ieci It was Wmoianj, carried. .that the Chairman'ap~int 'a secretary,f anjd Mr. 3. it.

T1 1 it iS the sense of this con111.ittoe, that it w.ill be danl -geirous to thec succes5:s of the )unocraey of Fairfield to etteritain the lnmintE',n of any person1 who will not firnt p1ld(;(1g1 himself to abide by the nomtinatiol int-le by the County Club. 2. That it is tho sense of this committee lnt the claims of no porson- should b) entertained by th e County Club, unless such person will first p)ledge himself. in case ho fails to receivo the Democratic nomination, not to serve if elected by Republican votes. Dr. J. C. Mobley requested the reading of another resolution of the i'Xecutive Comiiitoe, but the Chaiir ruled that while the resolution wuas passed he had not been instructed to Innounco it formally ; any one, bwever, who wished, could see it. T he resolution was to the olfl et that the - J)enwratic party would enter as a party into the ensuing elections. On motion of Major Woodward, the resolutions reat were unan0i imously Fendorsed by the chb. '.he Chairman thien exp jreissed his )(Jit f that the cl) should pr coed i mediately to ('conisder certain nimat tars, such for instmle., as pr'opuI tional repOresentat ion. (ol. J". J. Cameron then offered a resolution that the club rroceed to considlor the manner of making nollinatioin a1d that no nominations be unadl until the details are settled. IHe then, in a forcible agunent, urged the necessity for the adoption of this resolution. le announced first the broad principle that this Club (lid not have allilhority to make nomlnilnatzi.ols- -it Was n11 exceutive, not an administrative body. Its nominating lust year could be ex ausla only on the plea of necessity m an elmergency. Now, there is plenty of timu' for cal considera tion of details, to prevent lismell I'ermneit. A cambidate should not be put upon a rickety horse. tH should feel himself securcly scated anHd properly mounted for ho rae. There should be at special nominat. mg Convention based on 1ropor tional represelltatioll, and not on an equal voice given to clubs. whether Large fir s4uuCll. The people wore the power behind the throne. Without their learty support, clubs and comlmlitteesII arcs power loss. The people want to have the will of the majority clearly estaib lished, and, being satisfied .that there is a majority in favor of a measure or a man, will give thir1 .earitiest support. Thle call is not to noliinate ; Cvenl if it were, tihe ciub hats no right to steop beyond its authority. Let us' first plerfeet our1 organizationt and estab,lishi rules for n~on1)inations, and thleu mlovo 01n to victory. Tfhe peopl10eof.Firtiold are brave cnou~gh to, (como1 together and bury all personal differences for thing bigger thanii thalt, the good of the people1,,thie county, the State. What a disgrace would it be for tihe news to go forth thlat Fairfield has provedl recrelint to heCr trust, that she hlas lost whbat wasll gained, and1( thaut ruin camoe over a disgrace,. ful scramlble for ofiie ! Dr. Mobley rose, as a meniber of tile County .Ixce u tivo - C omm) ittee and asked to speaik. T.he Chair ruled that L~o had that right, under tile laws of the club. D~r. Mohley then said that while be claimned that the chib had the right to nioinato if it wi shed, stih 110 ~was in favor of p~er. foeting the organi za tionI. .Th'lat was of far greater imnportance3 than the nlomnation for an ollico. ').he pre)senft circtum~stance rO iomindedl him of a story 110 had read1, about GJinx's baby. Ho then prloccoded to toll hIow Ginx~ was a poor1 mau wi th twelvo children and11l1~ howih throat ented, if hie had another, to drown it over" .Bankhall Bridge ill thle Thamles. Thoi baby camne, and (iniix rulshed with it to the 'lTames, to drown it. 'This set all tile old womo~n ill tile neoighiborhiood by the oars and they bemoaned and abused - Ginx, an'd provented the exocu~tionl of his pur pose. Then the baby .was taken by some Roman Catholio Nulls to raise. Then the women~f got around Mrs. GJinx, who .was a member of the English .Church, and prote.tod against the baby boing made a "p)apishe r," anid thus roused the other donlominfationsH, and tlie preachers h1ld the baby taken away for Protestant instruction. But the question arose what church should havp it. Then the preachers all got by tihe ears over it, and in the meantime the baby would have starved, but for somue charitable per eons. The pr'eachers not, agreeing the baby was sent to the poor house. But the question arose a to wha poor house.

He had agreed to support the resolition, belio-. ing it to be good for the party, as in his oa)intion the club Was 'w ring out of its way to noimiinate. It, is a quasi legislative body; a iominating con ventiton--a rep resenltat ivc, body 1should bo called for the specific purpose. He had nothing in view but the good of the party. For this reason he had agreed to support the resolution. But if, as had been asserted by a speaker, there had ieen) i cauicu.s for a i specific purpose im reference to a single 1111, and if this resolitioni would furthcr the designs of such a e:ueus, tOthioulvh he Was assured the, introducer .f the resolution was not a party to it, lie would voto against it.
