TO the 0oters Of Montgomery and
Houston Counties:
GENTLENIEN-In presenting my
self before you as a candidate for
Attorney General, the inquiry nat
uraIly comes up, by what right or
title do [ expect to claim your con-
fidence, and obtain your support?
A short review of my past history
will fully explain this. / was born
in Todd county, KY, and have
been a resident of this Mont
gomery) county for the last thirty
years. In early life I obtained
license to practice law, and did so
practice the profession for two years
in Elkton, Todd county. I then,
being yet quite young, moved to
Benton, Scott county, Mo-, where |
practiced one year, but on account
of i'll health, / was forced to re-
nounce both practice and locality.
Upon my return home, l drifted
off into the dry goods trade, but the
sad effects of the late unpleasant
ness" resulted disastrOusly to me,
as well as to thousands of others.
Crushed in fortune, but not spirit, l
turned my attention again to the
practice of law, and for a llrecord
of my energy and success as a prac-
titioner for the last eight years, /
take pleasure in referring to the
members of the bar in GAINESVILLE
as to my fitness and capacity for the
position which I seek. / am op-
posed in this canvass by two worthy
gentlemen, members of the legal
fraternity, who in all probability
possess the same requisites that 1
claim for myself, and in thus an
nouncing myself claim no superior
attachments which others may not
have, co-equal with myself. l
only demand this, if you think upon
inquiry, that am the right man,
for the right place, then give me
your support, if otherwise, no tie of
friendship need be severed.
Yours, Very Truly,
II. w. WAITS.

county, held at Palmyra on Satur-
day, June 1st, r. H. McFall, Esq,
was called to the chair, and B. NJ.
Williamson was appointed Secre-
tary. S. A. Wilson, Esq, addressed
the meeting stating briefly the pur-
pose for which it was called. On
motion S. a. Wilson, G. r. Outlaw
and S. B. Powers were appointed to
select delegates to meet at Clarks-
vile on Monday, June 3rd. The
following delegates were selected:
DR.. y. Eldridge, r. H. McFall, S.

son and DIR. T. II. Marahle.
On motion the Chair appointed
A. EIdridge, S. A. Wilson and J.
M. Peacher to draft resolutions ex-
pressive of the sentiments of this
District.
On motion r. H. McFaIl was
unanimously elected as one Of said
committee. The following are the
resolutions as reported by the COM
mittee:
Resolved, That this Convention is in IA
VOr of the most rigid economy, both as re-
CARDS State and county expenditures.

opposed to the building of a Court House

Gle, and the publishers be respect

B. r. Burchett then offered the
following resolution, which was
adopted:

Resolved, That we recognize Col T. L.
Yancey as the true friend of the people the
OppOSer of all rings, combinations, frauds
and monied monopolies the defender of
labor and the advocate of its just rewards
any and all forms and, believing his adj
ministration of the office would be strictly
in accordance with the law and high sense
of personal obligation, we earnestly ask and
solicit him to become a candidate fSf Judge
of the County Court at the ensueing August
election.
Upon the adoption of this resolu-
ton, Col. Yancey returned THANKS
for the flattering comment which
the resolution made upon himself,
and that while he was always sub
ject to the will of the people, there
were circumstances of a private
nature which might prohibit his
making the race, and he could not
state whether he would be candi-
date or not. This he would deter
mine in the future.
Mr.. Jones then offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted !:
Resolved, That in Col. 10. G. Stark we re-
cogniZe gentleman in every respect worthy
our votes and the office to which he aspires.
His efforts in the cause of the people, COM
mencing in the state convention, two years
ago, and continuing to the present time,
merited confidence and reward.
A motion was then made to adj
iourn, when the question Of nomi-
mating candidates for the county
offices was raised. After some de-
bate, the convention then, by unan-
imous vote resolved not to nOmi-
nate candidates for the offices of the
county. The following resolution
was offered by Mr.. Jas. p. Rogers,
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the GAINESVILLE Tobacco
| Leaf has our thanks and best wishes for its
| liberal and fair course in offering its columns
to the Independent party of Montgomery
| county.
Mr.. Rogers also moved that the
convention request the following
journals to copy the proceedings OF
the meeting: The city papers,
Springfield Record, Dover Courier,
| Nashville Banner, Greenback Flag,
Memphis Avalanche.
Upon motion, the convention adj
jOurned to meet Aug. Goth, according
to resolution passed above.
