present repaired to the club room,
in the old MAiticello Ac.domny.
Tho club met at two o'clock, p. mu.,
Captain McMeekin in the c3hau. The
lninlttes of the last leeting were
read an1 coulirnod. Mr. H. M.
Zealy rose to make a correction in
the ninute'a of the meotiag of the
136b ult, in reg.ird to the sheriffs

resolutioii did not mean to decide
upJl the law points invoive.l. The
secretary was requestoi to i.tke
the correction. Oa motion of Major
Bell, further business was suspend
ed in order to hear from the candi
dates present.
Tao ures,dsnt then introduced
Capt. H. A. (iiard. Capt. Gaillard
began by thainking the club for
the honor extended in a previous
invitation, which he could not ac
cept, and referretj to 1)is vis:t to the
cii.b two years ago. le was also
most grateful for the endorsement
by the elpb of his course in tae Leg
islature, which endorseIent. le
received as g.ven in a spirit of i:
dulgelce, for it is impossible for any
puulic ollicial to represent evei v
intelligent citizen on every point,
He then reviewed the situation,
slowiig thp absolute nycessity of
success, and pledging himself, if not
esosen as a nominee of the party,
th,t he would work with ze.d for I le
tu-wccss of the De,o.octti ticket,

Co]. R. G. fLamar was tnen intro,
duced. There are not many issues
before the party and minor ques
tions should niot be entertained.
He had been much relieved by the
show.nig of the frienJs of the phca
paate umi, andl hoped teat taie
r,.vemue from tuis sonice would ai.t
ligejy in decreasag thia burdens of
t x dion. There shouid be.an ab.>lie
tion of useless ollicurs. B3ot e fpe
svar one mani collected the taxes of
the county. The offices of auditor
and treasurer should be consoli da-.

York Code should be abolished and
a Sou.th QUroina c.osleo adopted in
ats stead.
He wvas glad to see thqt 'go white
man stanids .to-day at tiee head of
the Radical party in .thiis county.
When the control is let.t ,egtirely in
the hands of the blacks the deat'h of
the JRadical~party is assured. Th.e
plato'nI of 1876 is a good one, and4
upon it all honest meon will work
togth.or for the redemption of the
State.1
Mr. R. Aieans Davis, by in.'
vitation, made a few remarks on the
issues of the 4ay.
Mfr. B. H. Robertson as ,ealed
on. He Bald that he had been
brought #ip i the days of mullinoa.,

a spetkor to say "Hilturrah for nttlli

After these addresses the club ad
journod to the time of its next rogu

present, although this is by no means
the full strength of the club, which
