On the adoption OF above resolutions
In their present shape the only qnes-
ton Involved was ~ 10 whether they
presented proper subjects for action at
this convention, the call being to elect
delegates TO the Fort Worth convcn-
ton and such other business ns might
properly come before II. There Will
be another convention called to elect
delegates to the Houston convention,
where these questions will probably be-
more properly subjects for considera-
ton than nj the present one. This nc
tion, however, Will have the effect to
bring out full discussion In the mean
time and thus secure u full expression,
especially 30 far ns the
Endorsement OF ireland Ia concerned,
US well as the action on the two-thirds
rule. The sentiment expressed, how
ever, Ia this precinct Is almost unail-
imouH.
Many here are quite indignant on
learning that Hon. Il. +. Frymler IL
charged with having received from
Terrell people bride for his action rs
one OF the commissioners In locating
the branch nsylum ut this place. The
city council, then as now, was COM
posed of representative men Of integ-
fity and honor. Such o charge IL no
less charge against the council and
committee, than against Mr.. Frymier.
The committee that acted on the part
OF the council consisted Of Il. Il. Frank,
mayOr q. 3. Grinnan, j. n.
Griffith, =. A. Shortrldge,
Maj. J. IL. Muckelroy, Col. Jim
Harris and DIR. james Orr, men who
are above suspicion. All thnt the
city OF Terrell promised was 10 grade
an avenue from the city 10 the asylum
grounds. They did dine the commits
slOners, aud extended them In general
terms the hospitality OF the city, and
this they did also to Gov. Ireland and
party q short tune 0go, and now they
propose 10 de the same for the authors
OF the above named Islander, II they
will send three OF their number,
provided they will come here to inves
