Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1882-06-10


calmly and faithfully and advocate
the time-honored principles of De-
mocracy. The time had come when
the party urgently needed It's good
men, and he knew the Mass Meet
ing would send brave, thoughtful
men, men who by union of heart
and hand would best serve their
people and frame platform upon
which all good Democrats could
stand and do battle for correct prin-
ciples and against our common enc
my-the Republican party.
1t is hardly possible to give even
a brief synopsis of what the General
said, but his talk was heartily
cheered by the convention and it
was evident that conservatism and
harmony were to be the watch
word of the meeting.
The business of the convention
was then further proceeded with
by the appointment of Messrs. M.
V. Ingram, w. o. Brandon, and
Ed. e. Campbell, as Secretaries.
Judge c. w. Tyler moved that
the Chair appoint a committee of
seven to report the names of suita-
bic delegates to the Gubernatorial
convention, and also to draft a Sc
ries of resolutions, which should be
submitted to a vote of the Mass
meeting without debate; both mo-
tons were unanimously carried.
The Chair appointed the follow
ing committee to select delegates:
Judge C. w. Tyler, Chairman ;
John B. Allen, H. H. Lurton, E.
B. Ross, P. G. Johnson, w. ID. Tay-
Tor, Griffin Orgain. This commit
| tee retired to the County Court
room to accomplish this work.
Upon motion of Judge Scales, re-
cess of thirty minutes was taken,
until the committeeman report.
The time having expired, the COM
mittee on delegates and resolutions
returned and reported through its
Chairman, Judge Tyler, the follow
ing list of delegates, by districts.
He said the delegation was large
one, and the committee had endeaV-
ored to make IT as fair and represen-
tative of every shade of opinion as
possible:

Upon motion, the Chairman and
Secretaries were added to the list of
delegates.
Judge Tyler also presented the
following resolutions as the sense of
the committee:
Resolved, That no proxies should be used
to cast any votes from this county, but every
delegate here appointed is earnestly reques-
ted to be present at Nashville, on the 2Oth of
June, and use his efforts to secure united
and harmonious action on the part of the
State Democracy.
Resolved, That the Hon. VIM. NJ. Daniel
is the first choice of the people of MontgOm-
cry county for Governor of Tennessee, and
our delegation is instructed to vote for him
as a unit so long as his name may remain
Resolved, That having full confidence in
the intelligence, conservatism and devotion
to Democratic principles of our delegates to
the State Convention, they shall go other
wise uninstructed.
The list of delegates, and resOlu-
tions offered by the committee were
received and adopted by the Mass
Meeting unanimously.
On motion of Esquire Organ, the
meeting then adjourned sine die;
and thus tremendously and in good
accord ended one of the largest, best
representative and most intelligent
convention of the Democracy of
Montgomery county which has ever
assembled at her county seat.
Everything passed off smoothly and
without the slightest hitch or jar.
The delegation selected was, as
remarked, good one,
every shade Of opinion on the par
amount question of the day in our
State politics, being given an equi-
table and, so far as we can judge, a
fair, conservative and intelligent
representation.
This action of the manly, intelh-
gent Democracy of old MOntgOm-
cry might well be taken as fit
criterion by Democratic County
throughout the State,
and if so, we would have no fear
but that the State Convention would |
result in perfect harmony and I'M
ion, and the fair name and credit |
of the old Volunteer State be pre-
served unspotted, from even the
faint of dishOnOr or discredit by her
rightful guardians-the Democratic
party.
