The Democratic County Convention, yes
terday, was as peaceful as summer sea,
without ripple to disturb the serenity of
Its surface. The delegates were promptly on
hand, and after some little preliminary eau
cussing took their seats and prepared for the
work before them. Mr. John S. Naylor,
Chairman of the County Committee, called
the body to order, and announced the fol-
lowing had been elected as

Mr.. Naylor ended by naming John P.
Gavin temporary chairman. c. I. Brides

assistant secretary, and the organization
was made permanent.
A. Wilson, Jr, offered the following:
Resolved. That the basis ofrepresentation
be the same as that adopted by the last
Democratic County Convention held in this
county, that is to say each district be emit
tied to cast BY its delegates present as many
votes as were cast in 1880 for Jacob B.
Jackson for Governor in said districts re-
spectively, making the representation as fol-
lows:

1884; Union 529; Centre, 374; Webster,
$40; Richie, 442; Triadelphia, 46l; Rich
land 1879; Liberty l52; total 1864.
This being adopted without opposition or
comment, John Howard moved that the
Chair appoint two committees, each to con-
sist of one delegate from each district to
report to the convention forty delegates each
to the State and Congressional Conventions
John o. PendletOn offered, as a substitute,
that each delegation appoint its own mem.
berS of the two committees.
Lewis Baker favored the substitute which
be believed to be the proper and only Dem
oeratic way of proceeding, Any other
method would but strengthen the cry BY
the opposition party Of rings and the waj
70 disarm such cries was to follow the idea
conveyed by the substitute. There had
yeen talk of rings and talk of efforts to set
up a delegation in favor of some one man
for Governor, but he believed there was
nothing in it and knew there should be
nothing. All we have to do is to beat the
Republicans and guard the interests of our
local candidates Ohio county, he said,
can get one man on the State ticket but to
do this, the delegation must be divided on
Governor giving the friends of every candi
date share.
John Howard favored the motion. He
thought the various aspirants for Governor
were entitled to Just what majority Of the
convention saw fit to give them, as the
rights Of the people ceased when they de-
posted their ballots on Saturday.
Alfred Caldwell thought the substitute the
only way to preserve the peace and harmo-
ny of the convention, and to this end made
very stirring speech. A. D. Garden also
favored the substitute. A. G. Hadlick de-
handed the ayes and nays, which the chair
man ruled to have the vote by districts
THE SUBSTITUTE LOST.

Eeated by vote of 2,l543 to 1909; the
original motion then prevailed, and the
