ing at Odessa. August 5ths
Editor Gazette Dc Journal. About three
weeks back Mr.. John Biggs came to Mr..
Nathaniel Williams, and requested that
there should be no such meeting held,
when it was explained to him, that it was
a regular meeting and formally necessary.
He then requested that there should be
no delegates TO the State convention re-
commended, as he feared that the Cochran
men would capture the meeting, nominate
delegates aud call their nominees for the
same position Mugwumps.
Mr.. Williams after consultations with
the Cochran men, assured MIR. Biggs that
no ticket of delegates for the Cochran side
should be presented ON the 4th inst in or
der TO have thoroughly definite agrees
ment, as to what should be done, AZ ru-
mors of great Biggs preparation hnd got
ten out. Messrs Polk and Nowland in
presence of Mr.. Williams, waited on Major
Biggs and son and others, and agreed that
two men should be nominated in the
hundred executive committee from each
side and the fifth man should be selected
after the State convention, also that Mr..
Shallcross should be chairman of the
meeting and that Mr. John Biggs should
take the floor as soon as the meeting was
called to order and should explain as to
the arrangement and that it was done in
the interest of harmony.
And now, after the programme has
been executed, cries of victory victory
are set mp by the Biggs men and pull
lished with q partial account, in the
| public press, which certainly gives rise
| to very false impression.
At the meeting, after selection of the
committee, Mr. Foard said that there was
no factional duty belonging to the ap.
pointaes, and that they should work
heartily for the success of the nominees
| of the State convention of the 18th inst.
Mr.. Nowland said that voiced the feel.
ing of the Cochran Democracy of St
| Georges hundred.
Mr.. John Biggs said that that voiced
the feeling of the Biggs Democracy of st
Georges hundred, provided that it WAS
| fair nomination.
| Mr.. Biggs has now to explain this re
| Election on the Democracy of the Stat
and more particularly upon the part.
and Judges of election of st George
| hundred, which, in candor, we will stat
that he Processes he is willing to do. BU
| more than one month ago he informed gu
| member of the county executive committe
| that if the nomination was not held fairl
| there would be one of the darndest fight
ever in st. Georges hundred. When h
is explaining one, he will please explai
| as to all. I have been voter in 81
