While these committees were out Capt

from the State Central Committee, in which
the desire was expressed that all the Coun-
| ty Central Committees elected during this
campaign should hold their offices until
the ist of January 1887 and that thereafter
the terms of these committees should be
two years, in order that each campaign
may not llnd new and inexperienced Cen
tra Committee in charge of party affairs in
each county.
Some discussion WAS aroused upon the
proposition to enlarge tho County Central
Committee to fifteen, or one member from
each precinct; but the matter was finally
settled by authorizing the committee agreed
| upon to appoint member in each precinct
should it be deemed desirable.
Resolutions being then in order, Capt
Shield offered the first which expressed in
| strong terms desire for the denomination
of Samuel j. Tllden for President upon the
platform of 1876. The resolution was re-
| ceived with several rounds of applause from
the convention and audience and was unan-
imously adopted.

gates to vote for Hon. ID. II, Linegar for the
lower house of the Stotc Legislature was
also received with marked favor. A vote

in the county, excepting the Fifth Cairo,
had instructed for Mr.. Linegar. The Fifth
Cairo had instructed for Mr.. w. g. Mulkey
But motion to make the instructions for

On motion of Mr.. P. Mocker, the dele
cations were all instructed to vote as unit
upon allquestions arising in the conventions
which they were respectively to attend; and

proxy in case he could not himself attend
the convention to which he was appointed.
The work of the convention was now con-
cluded, Hon. Geo. w. Hill, who was pres
emf, was called upon for speech, and he
responded IN brief talk in the course of
which he thanked the convention heartily
for its support and stated that he would
visit every precinct in the Senatorial cam
paign, doing his share toward arousing the
Democratic party to action, and would use
every endeavor to conserve the interests of

the first rank of the model political con.
ventions Of this country.
