1t was another-the SolIcitorship
race. but this he believed should
have nothing to do with the issue
at hand. Personal differences and friend
ships he eliminated altogether nom the
great issues OF the State.
Capt. Falligant spoke for an hour and
received the closest attention. AT the
conclusion of his speech he Withdrew
from the court house.
After some elaboration resolution
was submitted instructing the Represen-
tatiVe and requesting the Senator to sup
port Mr.. Clifton for Solicitor, and was
unanimously adoped.
A committee was appointed to wait
upon Capt. Falligant and request him TO
appear before the meeting. He did
so, and was read the resolution,
and was asked what position
he would assume. Before an opportu-
nifty was given for reply Mr.. Clifton re-
quested that the question be not pressed.
1t was not his desire, he said, to urge the
issue which was clearly depending upon
him, and, for the sake of harmony and to
secure unity and cOnsOnance without a
disruption Of the party, he would advise
the support of Capt. Falligant, prospect
i've Of whatever might be depending upon
him.
The Secretary replied that the question
was from the meeting and not from MT.
Clifton, and urged an answer. Capt.
Falhgant replied that he would not pledge
himself for any Office in the gift of the
people from President to Constable.
Hon. Henry E. Smith then submitted a
resolution indOrsing the action of the
Bryan delegates to the Eden Convention.
and disappearing of the course pursued
by the Chatham delegates. The resOlu-
ton also declared the support of the coun-
ty for Capt. Falligant for the sake ofharmo-
ny, at the same time not recognizing him
as the regular nominee of the convention.
The resolution also contained an indOrse-
ment of Mr.. Norwood for Congress and
the course of Mr.. Bradwell in the Con-
gressional Convention. The vote of the
meeting was unanimously in favor of the
resolution and it was adopted.
Mr.. Clifton spoke in behalf of harmony
in the district and hearty united support
of Capt. Falligant as the regular Sena-
tQrial nominee.
Mr.. Clifton's course in yielding to the
issue for the sake of harmony was in
dOrsed by Mr.. Norwood and was accepted
In every way by the people of the county
as magnanimOus and true Democratic
exhibition of what he believed to be right
and just. He thanked the people of
Bryan for the support which they had
given him, and asked that whatever had
been accorded to him be turned to the
support of Capt. Falligant.
This move is generally accepted, it is
believed, as bridging of the differences
which existed between Bryan and Chat
ham county. 1t is now understood that
while Capt. Falligant will support Mr..
DuBignon for Solicitor he will not oppose
Mr.. Clifton.
A mass meeting of the Efingham De-
mecracy has been called for Wednesday
at Springfield, when a report of the Effing-
ham delegates will be submitted. Capt.
Falligant and Mr.. Clifton will both be
present upon that occasion, and it is be-
lieved that a harmonious adjustment of
all differences will be effected, and that
the First district will march in solid
ranks on Oct. l, and cast its full vote for
the regular nominee.
