The reason which induced this action Of
the Convention vas that 1t was desirable to
have every Club in the County represented
by full delegation. Anderson possessee
solid Democracy. and whenever any move
Is made 1t must be by o uAited party, and
not by portion of it. The members pres
ent on last Tuesday1didl pot wish to arrogate
tofhemselvesthe right either to act or speak
for the whole Democracy or Anderson and
hence they very properly adjourned to meet
again next Monday, at which time every
delegate should endeavor to be present. for
very iinporfant questions will come before
the Convention. The people OF Anderson
county have SO far manifested botl. sagacity
anu courage In the conduct of political of:
iairs, and naturally the action taken by this
Convention upon the issues OF. the present
Wiil be looked to with interest at home and
abroad The action, whatever It may be,
snoald be harmonious a,.si adeterained.
