and thereafter delegates to the state and con-
gressonal conventions be elected. The
minority desired the old rule to obtain-that
il, 10 commence at the head and elect
delegates first and then to nominate county
officers. The majority report prevailed by
decided vote. A full county ticket was nom
mated, including candidate for judge of
this iudicia! district, which only embraces
Travis county. A spirited race for several
of the county nominations was made,
and while many Of the gentlemen
who presented their names and were defeat
ed, we're little sore. they all, believe, sub
init to the decision Of the convention. This,
believe, is the first time in a number OF
years that the Democracy OF this county
has placed in the field full and strong tick
ct and from the present outlook there IS
every reason to anticipate victory for the
party. No regular nominations have as yet
been made by the opposition, but it is pre-
sumed that there will be opposition candi'
dates out for every ohice-in the shape per.
haps of independent candidates" who will
expect to crystslize all the elements of radi'
cailsm, Greenbackism, and sore-headed (so-
called) Democrats. The whole ticket pre-
sented by the Democracy is conceded to pc
strong one, and it is believed will win en-
tire, though Travis county heretofore has not
been considered safe county to bet on. The
nominee for district judge, Hon. A. S. Walk.
er, at present one Of the supreme court OF
errors, is acknowledged to be one ofthe
purest men and able lawyers in all this por-
ton of the south, and his election is consid-
cred quite sure.
The convention then passed resolution
: offered by Colonel A. j. Peeler, by vote OF
29J to 81 instructing the delegation to vote
for Hon. Oran NJ. Roberts for governor as
: long as mis- name was before the Dallas con
; venIon. a substitute was offered for this
resolution providing that the delegation tc
Dallas should, as near as possible, rep
|, r, sent the sentiments as u
: the candidate for governor OF the mem
Of the convention present. The substitute
u was defeated by a vote of about % to l.
4 and the original resolution adopted by tn
y decisive vote above stated. Seven delegate
4 we're then elected, oil being known as favor
: ne the nomination of Gov. Roberts. Tn
n de egates are as follows: Col. j. A. Peelel
e Hon. A. w. Terrell, DR.. r. NJ. SwearingeI

't to the Georgetown congressional convention
y and instructed them to vote for Hon. Set
q; Shepard, for congress from this district.
a An executive county committee WAS al

ID thorough organization, Capt S. &. Sneed,
IN perfect organizer, being unanimously eecte
chairman of the committee.

I'd never entertained a doubt. But what | see
