moved 10 substitute the name q John {.
Underwood, for Governor a vote was
,ai en- and Blackburn was declared the
winner by several lengths. Chas. =. Bow
man then received the instruction for "a.
Governor, and pending motion not to in
slruct for second choice, Mr.. W. I.
Thomss, Of Boyle, came forward and with
drew the name Of Mr.. Bowman, saying that
satisfactory reasons for his Withdrawal

for z. y. Smith. Judge ". II. Owslcy
moved that 2nd choice he made and after a
protracted wrangle, the motion was adopt
ed. For Treasurer, J. W. Tate, carried.
On a vote 10 instruct for Ralph Sheldon for
Req ister, a division was, a. usual, called
for, which resulted in a victory for Shell
don. II. &. Kaufman made a telling little
speech in favor Of giving at least the End
choice 10 d. n. Williams, Of Rockcasile,
which was carried, and on motion Of Judge
Owsley, Thomas d. Marcum was named a.
3rd choice. The contest for Auditor cap
ped the climax Of disorder, and the meet
ing resolved itself, for while, In 10
bowling mob. When quiet was in a meas
ure restored, "A. c. Kaufman, in a neat,
eulogistic speech, placed the name Of Fay
cite Hewitt before the Convention. Geo.
W. Dunlap, IT,, nominated Howard Smith,
and the Chairman, after wildly gesticula-
ting and begging for order, announced that
vote on this race would he taken in the
street, and on repairing to II and the res
peciive lines being formed, IT was found
that Hewitt's followers numbered lGs and
Smith "a. But n small part Of the crowd
returned to the Courthouse to hear the
announcement Of the vote, 10 the balance
of the proceedings was had In a most or
DERBY manner. The concluding clause Of
Mr.. Bruces resolutions set forth that all
good Democrats Of the county, who at
tend, he considered delegates to the Con-
vention. Mr.. Kaufman suggested that
eleven persons be named A. delegates 10
cast the vote Of the county, and all the
other good Democrats be added. The
Chairman appointed II. T. Noel, DIR. VIM.
Huffman and Col J. II. Bruce, a commit
tee to name the delegates, who reported the
following DR.. T. c. Armstrong, Lewis Y.
Leavell, jos. Simpson, Rice Woods, Joshua
Dunn, Jones l.. Adams. DIR. o. z. Hill, J.
A. Beazley, A. II. Denny, Clayton Ander-
son and Alva Pullins. On motion Of
Judge Owsley, the C0arier-JOulTlai, ISTKEI-
on JouRSAL, Lancaster TsiioT and Dan
willie Adrooaie, and the Richmond papers,
were requested to publish the proceedings
Of the meeting. Adjourned. Chairman
Walton deserves great credit for his efforts
to maintain order, but II the only sample
Of Garrard Conventions that we ever saw,
/. fair one, well take our chances with
old Lincoln, whose meetings, as bad AZ
they some times are, present marked i'm
provement on the one in question. Wits
Ky was not the cause Of the disorder, for
We failed TO see single man during the
day, even slightly under the influence Of
liquor, but the whole thing Is explained
by the remark Of Mr.. X. d. Lusk, that
"the trouble with US il, that We have en-
tirely too many great % men in the eoun-
IT," and we are sorry to observe that that
Il the case at numerous other places.
Among the large number Of indictments
found this Court is one agAins, Z. Il. Ken
nedy, for killing a negro in 1865, and the
old one against W. F. Kennedy for the
murder Of Frank johnson in 1868, was Ia
ken from its long resting place in the Cir
cult Clerks office and reinstated.
During the day we had the pleasure oil
forming the acquaintance Of J. NJ. Hig
ginbotham, the gallant new Sheriff. h'
looks every inch a man, and j. both feared
and hated by the evil doefs. The jury that
he has on duty at the present term Of the
Court, il evidence Of his desire to put 8
check on crime by summoning only thos'
men who have the courage and the back
bone to do their whole duty. To Mr., II
and his deputy, Mr.. Hiram Rothwell, W
are indebted for special Tayors during thu
day. The jury alluded to above deserve tC
have their names engraven on the heart
of all lovers Of law and order. They went
in with the determination Of letting nc
guilty man escape, and their record show
that they have stood by their oaths. An
other such Court and jury and Garrar'
will be entirely redeemed from the thral
dom Of murderer, thieves and other Law
breakers.
