said he should endeavor to discharge
the duties of the position impartially,
and trusted the convention would aid
him to preserve order and to expedite
business.
MIR. McCausland moved that Mr..
Chiles be invited to a seat on the floor
OF the convention.
Mr.. Chiles, who was in the audience
thanked the convention, which seemed
to join in Mr.. McCausland's sugges-
ton. He said he was sufficiently hon.
ored in the position he held as chair
man of the county committee and pre-
ferred during the deliberations of the

Mr.. Jno. 5. Wheatley offered the
following
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that instructions be given
to the delegates to the state convention
for supreme Judge.
Mr.. McGrew hoped the resolution
would not pass. He thought this coun-
ty fully as much interested in railroad
commissioner.
Mr.. Ewing thought Mr.. McGrew's
suggestion would subordinate the
greater to the lesser office. The rail-
road commissioner was merely the
creature of the Legislature, while the
supreme judge was an office of the
Capt. Redd moved to amend, to
merely express the preference of the
without instructing. Lost
