Convention, witch appointed delgates

Nashville Thursday, June Sth, 1880.

year between the State and National

of time for delegates to confer with

~, lnn... The National Democrats
! CoHv~nt;en las met ON the 22l of
February as usual every four years
and take action, and It is presumable
that our State committee will be heard
from within a few weeks. Some Of
our exchanges are aggitatiHg tie
question gently, and We havs already
seen the name Of some gentlemen
suggested as suitable for delegates
and electors. There is plenty of time,
Of course. A gentlemen from the
country called the other day to sug-
gest the name Of Mr.. ALBERT McNea!,
of Hardeman county, as one suitable
to present to the State convention for
delegates at large Each State has
ioar delega cs at large, or double the
number Of United States Senators.
/ Four years ago the State at large
was re presented Ivy Maj. Thomas o.
Gamer, Of Knox, tx Governor James
ID. porter, Henry, John w Cnildress,
Of Rutherford, and Colonel w. Ii.
Carroll, ofchelby. while Mr.. McNcal
was one Of the delegates representing
the Touth Congressional District.
This gentlemen has been a conserva
tive Democrat aa along and safe
advisor IN council. He has made, few
Ifanymistake s or misstcps and deserves
well at the haad Of his party when
it has compliment or honors to dispense.
The Suggestion of his ncme in tins
Connection will doubtless be we'll re-
ceivcd. lie has done much to har-
monize party difference ind the State
and set it on the road to success. A
sagacious, VOL informed and we'll
balanced gentleman, he can be trusted
to safely and disereetly represent his
party and State in the Nat onal
Democratic Convention.
Nashville world.l
Captain Albeit T. McNeal-de-
parting from its usual custom the
World Will suggest to the ensuing
State Democratic Convention the
name Of this distinguished young
statesman OF Bolivar for the position
of delegate to the Chicago National /
Democratic Convention. In the CAM
paigu Ct 1872 he was powerful and |
active factor in tho work of uuilica-
ton Of the Democratic party and the
redemption Of the state from Republi-
can m;srule ard maladministralion |
He IS fitted ly education and natul al |
aptitude for public affairs to be
leader in a party, that rs now and |
holds he allegiance Cf his heart and /
mind there is 10 flaw in his Democra-
cy at any point, and there is not a
more sagacinus aud conservative man
in tho politics of Tennessee. He is
one of The yourg and vigorous politi-
cal thinkers who have sprung to the
front in thc most trouhlous era of |
their party and Stale, by tho ranli-
Mss of their participation in events
and hy their serene and VnAmchng
courage in the advocacy uf policy
that freed the party from fetid and
the state from the rule of au uuprin-
cipled and corrupt enemy. Withou
a compromise Of lis convictions ana
without any concession 10 wrong ne
has ever been among those who
struggled for tie hea ing of all differ
enccs in the Democratic party on a
'asis hat brought no dishOnoC and
faint to any faction or man. III The
~unhghu of a new era for the panty
and state, sc know of no fguro, in his
section Of the coulAry, that stands out
more Prominently and more approx
ing Y than lis. It will be well for
tho party if he aud more like him
shall he scrt to Chicago to prepare
for the tremendous contest Of this
wear.
