suppose that nearly every Democrat In the
county was present. When the count was
completed, four sialwari Democrats lifted
the nominee upon their shoulders and
carried him to the courthouse, followed by
the most enthusiastic crowd thai We have
ever seen. Mr.. Elder and his friends
pledged themselves 10 vote for M. Clark

Mr.. Clark by the Convention last Monday.

the meeting, and made an apt speech in
regard 10 the importance Of it, AT Mr..
Whips suggestion, Mr.. Veteran was
elected chairman, and made sensible
speech, dealing strongly on Casey's Demo
cratic fealiy, and her right TO have Sena-
tor once in a while. W. Reppert was ap-
pointed Secretary. A. II. Clarke was nomi-
mated by Mr.. John Ieizer lIamlin Elder
was next nominated by Mr.. Brewer. The
vote was taken in the public square. A.
Il. Clark received a majority, and his
nomination was declared unanimous. Mr..
clark made spirited speech, pleading the
principles Of The party, and pledging him
self to stand where he had always stood
10 30 down only with the ship when she
went down, il she ever should go down.
The following resolutions were adopted
with a whoop and a tiger, and the assembly
then dispersed, to meet again on the Fields
