RESOLVED, That in order to preserve the
integrity OF the Democratic-C Conservative
party in this congressional district, the
members Of this Convention do hereby
pledge themselves to abide by its action,
and by every legitimate means to promote
the election of its nominee.
DR.. Williams, OF Fairfax. moved to add
that the two-thirds rule be adopted.
The Chair ruled that the amendment
should be introduced at another time.
A delegate suggested that the committee
would report upon this also.
The resolution was then unanimously
adopted by standing vote.
Notices OF the meetings OF the two COM
mittees were then given, TO take place this
afternoon; after which the Convention adj
journed until s O'Clock tonight.
The Convention rtassembled at O'Clock
tonight, but neither Of the Committees on
Credentials or Permanent Organization be-
ing ready to report, after two or three inef-
fectual motions, adjourned until tomorrow
morning. The Committee OIL Credentials
are not yet through with the Alexandria
contested cases, and several others are to be
considered. The feeling is very strong,
and it is not certain that bolt will not take
place. Neale'S friends are complaining Of
the course Of the Hunton men.
