vention would be a fairer expression
of the will of the people than chance
meeting in the Court House. This, he
said, was not the place to represent all
the Democratic voters Of the county.
1t is proper for the committee toSeport
to County Meeting, but the County
Convention should decide the mattef.
Mr.. O'Byrne replied that q commit
tee composed OF gentlemen from each
Hundred would be practically Con-
vention, and would represent the opin-
ions of the people in regard to the
rules far better than County Conven.
ton, in which the claims of office and
other political considerations would
occupy the attention of the gentlemen
! composing it. Let the committee act
for the people, and report to the peo-
pie, 10 be voted upon.
l. G. Grubb, Esq, strongly favored
the suggestion, and further suggested
that the committee make their report
to the County Executive Committee.
That the latter cause the rules (as re-
vised by the Committee) to be pub
lished and printed, and that they be
voted upon by the people of the party,
on Saturday, August 9th.
Mr.. Biggs accepted these suggestions
and embodied them in his amendment,
which was then adopted.
The motion as amended was then
adopted unanimously.

mittee, here returned and reported the
