The commi tee withdrew, and while alb.
sent Mr. John E. Garland was called upon
for an address. He spoke of the destiny
of the Democracy, and pledged himself
and his best exertlOns toward insuring the
party victory whenever it went into bat
tie. The mention of his name for the po-
sition of district attorney elected the re-
mark, that putting all personal aspirations
aside, he believed in the principles of the
Democracy, and pledged himself to those
principles as long as he lived.
Loud calls for Mr.. Ansley Gray brought
that gentleman to his feet. He urged upon
the convention the necessity of selecting
good men for offices, and heartily endorsed
Mr. Garland for the district attorneyship.
Three cheers were given for Garland, and
the people then called for Mr.. James A.
Emmons. Mr. Emmons drew vivid
picture of the future of the Democracy,
and in brief, stirring speech painted a
sort of an oratorical chrome, in which the
bright possibilities of the party were re,
tlected in the political sky in the colors
that tinge the clouds when the dying sun
sets behind the golden hills.

ded, the committee returned and submit
