sponded to enthusiastic calls, and
made q stirring speech, which was
warmly received, urging upon the
Democracy to remain united, and to secure
g good delegation to the Legislature, repre-
senting the material interests of the county.
The time had come to make stand. The
gauntlet had been thrown down, and 1t re-
NAMED for the people now to act. He had
been delayed by another important meeting |
and had Just reached the Theatre in time to |
meet the fiying squadron withdrawing. His |
remarks were received with loud applause. |
Captain Robert Falligant was next called |
upon, and made an earnest speech which |

there had been a temporary disturbance he |
felt sure that, after reflection, those who had |
left, among whom were lifelong Demo |

Applause.
The Chairman here announced that he |
had, after considerable difficulty, selected |
the names of seventy-fve gentlemen from |

Secretary drew therefrom twenty-five |
| names, who, in accordance with the resOlu-
ton of Captain Vim, would constitute the
nominating committee. The names an
nOunced were received with applause.
| After the twenty five were drawn the Sec
rotary then read the list as follows:

The committee were called upon to ap-
proach the stage and retire for consulta-
ton. So they marched down the aisle, the |
crowd, which was In a thoroughly good
humor, gave the usual racket Of the march,
and there was general applause.
The committee retired to the ante-room.
Mr.. s. B. Adams said that he had taken |
| a part in this meeting that he had not an
ticipated. He was no politician In the |
general acceptance Of the term, but he be- |
lieved every good citizen was in some |
measure a politician, and he hoped he was |
good citizen, at least he tried to be. His |
custom had been to attendothese meetings |
rather as a quiet citizen and not as tslker. |
But when his name was read out, and after |
seeing what he had seen at st. Andrews |
Hall and on the way to the Thea |
tire, and what he saw here, he could |
not aequiesce. The issue was fairly |
and squarely made. Those who had left |
this meeting to which they had come vol |
unfairly and before which they had volun- |
tarily submitted their claims, left fairly and |
squsrly defeated, left not as Democrats, |
but as demagogues and boilers. Applause. |
He honored those who remained. APP |
plause His friend Msj. SchwaTZ ,one of the |
WOrthiest and most respectable of our citi- |
zens, though presenting the resolutions |
which were defeated, was too good Demo
crat to leave the hall, and he honored him |
for it. Loud and continued applause |
Major G. NJ. Rysls, who was on the ticket |
proposed, had remained and had |
shown his Democracy. In this |
large crowd tonight he had seen |
many who were not entitled to vote and |
who had disgraced our streets by their con-
duct in coming from st. Andrews Hall to /
the Theatre, and he was Convinced the time |
had come to stop it, and for the respecta-
bility and intelligence of this meeting to |
assert ITSELF The Democratic party is here |
Tapplausel, and the party will abide by the |
action of this meeting. 1t should send good |
men to the Legislature-men who are not |
office seekers and who do not want the four |
dollars per day. He did not desire to init |
mate that any Of the gentlemen named on |
the ticket presented were OF that class |

but the importance of having |
good delegation in the Legislature should |
be fully realized. Good men who will, at the |
sacrifice OF individual interest, devote their |
labors to the common veal, and who have |
no personal Interests to serve should be Sc
lected. We should see to 1t that the party |
Organization is maintained, and abide by the |
