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

the party, and on the members
dependad that question. -Upon thie
club rested the responsibility of.

peculiarly in :need of these procau..

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

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.

the power behind the throne.
Without their learty support,
clubs and comlmlitteesII arcs power

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

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

'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

Col. tionIi rose. Le was at a loss
what to do. 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

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
