said could not be heard by majority OF
those present.
Colonel w. W. Henry, OF Richmond, as
one of the new members who had been htl-
morously referred to by Mr.. Barbour, and
as representative Of a constituency which
paid one eighth Of the taxes, had listened in
vain TO hear one word why Mr.. Hanger
should not be reelected. He declared that
Mr.. Hanger stood firmly upon the platform.
What more was expected Of him? He was
surprised to hear Mr.. Harrison Zone OF the
mechanics who constructed that platforml
give utterance to the sentiments that he had
Colonel Henry contended that it would be
dishonor placed upon Mr.. Hanger and a
violation OF usage and party precedent to
throw him aside at this -juncture, after all
his faithful service. Colonel Henry very
effectively pictured Mr.. Hanger presiding
over the last State Convention, and bringing
order out of chaos there, and asked that
this faithful servant be properly rewarded.
Colonel Henry's speech was equal to any

House.
lIr. Coghill deprecated the division OF the
Conservative party upon the public-debt
question. 1t would end, he feared, in dis
solving The Conservative party and building
up another on the line Of rehdjuStment. Ii
that was to be the course why have caucus
at all?
General Echols insisted that Mr.. Hanger
stood squarely on the platform. lie, as bis
next friend, pledged that il chosen to the
chair Mr.. Hanger would equitably and hon.
orably distribute the committees according
to the sentiment of the House. General
Echols believed that Il reimbursement with
the creditors could be obtained il the Gen.
eral Assembly would pursue the propei
course.
