 The vote resulted in instructions for Hon. w. W. Mansfield.
 For Secretary of State instructions were given for Jacob Frolich.

 For Attorney General the names of c. B. Moore and 5. R. Cockrell were proposed, resulting in favor of the former.
 For Land Commissioner the names of D. W. Lear and J. P. Fan cher were proposed.
 D. w. Lear got the Instructions.
 For State Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction Mir. J. L. Denton was the unanimous choice, lacking only one vote.
 For Supreme Judge the choice was in favor of Col. Sam W. Will lianis-no other name being propos- ed.
 Capt. J. M. Harkey moved that our delegates to the county conven- | tion be instructed to vote for Primary election.
 Capt. J. W. Russell moved as a substitute that they be instructed to vote for convention.
 A warm debate ensued, M. H. Baird, J. E. Battsnfield and Capt. Russell opposing Primary elections as an innovation upon the tins hon ored usages of the party, as danger ous to the party organization, as liable to result in making the party nominees represent only the choice of minority of the party. They advocated nominating conventions as the best and only way of getting the strongest man when there are more than two aspirants, as the best 
 way of making nomination which will be most binding upon the mass es of the voters of the party, and as having the sanction of party ap- proval from the very beginning of the party's existence. Mess. J. M. Henry, J. W. Quinn, Jno. H. Potts. M. G. Hearns and others spoke in advocacy of Primary elections. They believed it the fair est way to get at the wishes of the rank and file of the party; that there was less opportunity for ger rymandering and juggling, and that 1t was equally as binding upon the party as conventions.
 The vote was taken and resulted in favor of Primary election by a vote of 24 to Il.
 The delegates to the County Con ventien were instructed to use their influence to have our delegates to the State Convention to vote for 8 continuance of the old and time honored two thirds rule in our Ma tional Convention.
 The convention then adjourned sine die.
