Democratic Mass Convention.


The democrats of Adair county
assembled in mass convention last
Saturday afternoon, to select dele
gates to the State, Congressional
and Senitoral conventions. The
convention was called to order at
2 o'clock by DR.. G. A. Goben, who
nominated DR.. T. A. Grove for
temporary chairman; W. E. Chap
pell was made temporary secre-
tary. Prof. Barnard moved that
these officers be made permanent.
Carried. The order of business
was then read, which was to elect
the delegates by ballot, and that
instructions follow each set of
delegates, R. NJ. Ringo made a
motion that two seargants-at-arms
be appointed to keep order; mo-
ton prevailed and W. G. Oldham
and DR.. W. F. Morrow were ap-
pointed. The following names
were then presented to the con-
vention as the delegation to the
State convention: and elected by
reclamation; J. r. Floyd, j. U.
Barnard, Alec. Doneghy, John c.
OFerrell, d. A. Ely Jr., The
delegates were instructed to vote
for John W. Henry for Supreme
Judge. P. f. Greenwood then
moved that the delegation be in
structed to vote for W. E. Cole
man for Supt. of Public Instruct
ton. This movement opened the
battle, which ragged with unabated
fury for more that two hours, the
seargeant-at-arms, having at one
time to compel Prof. Gentry to sit
down. Judge Irwin and Prof
Gentry denounced Supt. Coleman
in unmeasured terms, Judge
Irwin claiming that some of the
faculty had turned traitor, while
Profs Barnard and Mason, defen-
ded Mr.. Coleman, showing that
in the difficulty between Prof
Blanton and Mr.. Coleman, that
Prof. Blanton was at fault. There
was great excitement and when
the speakers were well nigh ex-
hausted motion to instruct fol
Coleman was carried by vote OF
81 to 16, amid almost deafenine
cheers for Coleman. For congres.
sional delegates DR.. G. A. Cohen
Hop Shain, W. G. Fout, Michal
Hays, George Nicholas, G. NJ
Mcclure, and Sam Floyd were
selected and instructed for W. III
Hatch. For Senatorial delegate:
James Conner, A. K. Hindsman
P. T. Greenwood, R. NJ. Ringc
and J. ID. McHendry were selected
and instructed for J. M. DeFrance
on first choice and Mr.. Sears ot
Macon for last choice. Conven
ton then adjourned.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 18th, 1886.
Yesterday being the anniversary of
Washingtons birthday, neither House of
Congress was in session, and the Govern
ment machinery stopped, as usual, in
honor of the day. Although there was
no formal celebration in this city there
were a number of suitable observances.
The Oldest Inhabitants Association met.
read Washington's farewell address and
some Of the members made speeches.
The Washington Monument Association
also had q meeting, and served luncheon
to some distinguished guests, including
Senators, Judges, Ministers, Generals, etc.
Then there were some military parades,
National airs were played on the Metro
politan church chimes, and the Wash
ington Continentals made pilgrimage
to Mount Vernon, where they were adj
dressed by Congressman Cahcll, of Vir-
ginia, Compton, of Maryland, and Gen.
Black, the present Commissioner of the
Pension office.
The city has been under siege by fe-
male suiiragists since wrote you. The
women have gone, however, jublant
over their lively convention, and the
church that resounded with their elo-
quence is, this week, at the services Of
an Educational convention.
The advocates of woman suffrage were
gaanted hearing by the House Judicial
ry committee, before which they plead
their own cause. Among the orators OF
the occasion were Mrs. Merriweather
and Mrs. Minor, Of Missouri, Miss East
