The reception denominations for theVic
Presidency gave evidence at the outset Of
the nominations that Wilson would be the
choice. The applause which greeted the
presentation Of CoLRAx's name BY Thomp.
son, Of Indiana came from such parts Of
the Hall as to show that Wilson was up,
permost.
Henry Wilson was elected on the first
ballot, receiving 3s4i votes, 10 1911 for
Coliax. When the roll was called, the
vote stood s64t for Wilson, 1911 for Col.

mendous confusion arose, the States
changing their votes, and after some cheer
ing, Wilson was nominated unanimously.

tlsed this morning for five hundred men
but very few have applied. Four hun
dred men are engaged in the strike.

COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

We are requested to call attention to the
importance of forming an Executive Com
mittee in McMinn, as the basis Of an organ
ization that shall embrace every civil dis
trict, neighborhood and settlement in the
county. The necessity and policy of some
thing ofthe kind is too patent to require
argument. Circuit Court will be in session
at this place next week, and as there is likely
to be pretty full attendance of the people
on Monday, it is urged that the subject be
taken in hand and definitely acted upon
Athens Post.
We commend the foregoing from the
Athens Post to every reader we have who
feels an interest in turning out the present
Federal Administration and putting in one
that will conduct the government on sound
constitutional principles, and favor the re-
turn of peace and prosperity to a whole
people. 1t should be remembered that the
work of organization and the labor Of the
canvass on the part of the opponents Of the
Grant and Murphy ring has to be done by
volunteers. The 'ring" has paid officials
and the United States Treasury to do its
work.

nAs1s OF REPRESENTATION.


The proper basis of representation in
Democratic State Conventions has been
TIE subject of some discussion, and win
probably be a question in the State Con-
vention which win assemble on the 2Ist.
The only time that it has come up for &C
ton since the war was in the Convention
Of Sept. ID, 1870, which gave Gov.
John c. Brown his first nomination. The
resolution adopted then declares that
"each county shall be entitled to
twelve votes for each representative
in the present Legislature; that each
floaterial district be entitled to twelve votes
divided among the counties respectively"
The Congressional Convention at Memphis
adopted as the basis for representation In
that Convention, one vote for every one
thousand of population and one for every
fraction of population of over five hundred.
AS the legislative representation of the sew
eral counties is determined by the number
of qualified voters, the basis Of representa-
ton as fixed by the Convention of 1870 is
according to voting population, while that
fixed by the Memphis Congressional Con-
vention is according to the total population.
There is still another plan which has
been adopted by some of the States, but
we believe has never been tried in this
State. That is to adopt the Democratic
vote at the last general election as the basis.
Between the first two plans-the voting po-
pulation and the total population-there is
but little difference. Those who favor the
adoption of the Democratic vote as the
basis insist that as the candidates to be
selected will be voted for by Democrats on
ly, none should be represented in the selec-
ton of them but Democrats. On
the contrary, it is insisted that this is
injurious to the minority Democratic coun-
ties, as it is discouraging to energy and am
bition where the field for gains is largest,
aud also places them at disadvantage in
selecting candidates, who may be of the
greatest worth, simply because they are
from weak Democratic county or section
of the State. To illustrate, two counties
have each SIX thousand voters, one has two
thousand Democratic voters, the other four
thousand: If the basis of representation
be according to the voting population,
each will have the same number of votes
In the convention; but if the basis be &C
cording to the Democratic vote, ne of the
counties will have twice as many votes in
the convention as the others. Thus the
larger Democratic counties might forever
defeat the most able and most popular can
didate simply because he resided in mi
nority county. 1t is important that some
rule should be adopted after full delibera-
ton by the next convention, and that it
then be adopted by all sub-conventions.
We believe that the adoption of the total
voting population as the basis would prove
most satisfactory to all parts of the State,
and thus secure that harmony which is es-
sentiai to victory.

IT is remarkable how many prominent
men who were expected to speak and
work for Grant, have been called off to the
far West. Shortly after Judge Kelley was
nominated in Pennsylvania, he set out for
Colorado, and has extended bis visit to
California, and Gen. Garfield was renomi-
mated in the 10Th Ohio district, and left for
Montana the next day. 1t was semi-ofi-
cialy announced some time since that the
distinguished member from the Buckeye
State did not take as much stock as he
might in our Chief magistrate, and conse-
quently, would not spend much time in
stumping operations. Was the trip to
Montana merely an excuse to get out Of
The way, and thereby avoid the embarras-
sing opportunities of political friends ?

ONE day the GRANTEES say that the South
can't 60 for Mr.. Greeley, because he was so
bitter against that section during the war;
the next day they declare that the Northern
people can't support Greeley because he
sympathized with the "Rebels." This is
a fair specimen of the tactics of the Grant
men,

A CURIOUS incident is related in conneC-
ton with the New York City Hall salute
In honor of the North Carolina election.
The Grant committee, never doubling that
the State would 60 Republican, ordered the
cartridges some days before the election,
but, deeming themselves unable to use
them to advantage, they were sold, on ap-
plication, to the opposition at reduced fig
ures. and the Liberals and Democrats thus
fired their salute. Subsequently the Grant
men got another supply, which they used
themselves.

THE decrease Of the public debt for the
month of July is about five millions less
than for the corresponding month of last
year. The drain Of the Treasury by the
purchase of The assumed 'fRebel" archives
and the necessities of the csrpet-bag cam
paign in North Carolina is plainly visible.
