Messrs Editors We have been blessed with
seasonabIe weather for the past week, which has
enabled many of the farmers to pitch their to-
bacco crops. Plants are abundant and there
will no doubt be large crop planted. The
young corn is recovering from the depredations
Of the crows and cut worm, and the outlook for
wheat is also improving, but there will be
short crop Of the latter realized.

This concluded the business Of cleo

the next point for the consideration OF
the convention was the expedlency oil
its making nominations for local Offices.
Upon this announcement, Mr.. Perry, oil
the Bird district, offered the following
resolution
Whereas, the Democratic County
Central Committee having vested this
convention with extraordinary powers,
that Of determining whether, how, when
and what county nominations shall De
made;
Resolved, therefore, that it is the
sense Of this convention, through poll
cy, to refer this matter back tothe Coun-
" Cehtrsl Committee, with discretion-
ary power to make the call Or not, as II
may deem expedIent.
This resolution was afterwards amend
ed so as to conclude--''to reassemble
THIS convention or not, ~ il may deem
expedient."
MIR. ]. ID. LokeT. moved the adoption
of the resolution as amended. DR..
Lynch contended that the convention
should adiourn-that il was elected by
the people to determine THIS question,
and therefore The power TO determine II
was especially delegated TO THIS con-
yentIoR and could not be transferred TO
another-that il was well adapted TO act
IN this matter, as II had not assembled
in the individal interest Of any pariicu-
lar aspirant for office--that il had moi
been packed for a particular purpose
that by adjournment the sense Of the
PEOPLE could the more easily be ascer-
tained-that by delaying the consider
alton of the matter for the present we
could the better tell what course to pur'
sue later when the republicans had or
canned. r
Mr.. Bond, though not member Of
the convention, asked the privilege Of
speaking on the subject. He thought
the course proposed was premature
that IT proposed changing the system
that was already in vogue, viz, the
Crawford system, which had been
adopted only few years sgo--ihat i
involved The return 10 nominations BY
conyention-that il was true the con
