THE WINDING UP.
The report of the committee on resolu-

the drought-sufferers resolution and one
resolution on the basis OF representation
in future state conventions. 1t was rec
commended that they be not adopted. The
minority report was read. resolution
antagonistic to secret societies was read.
1t was thought that too few were pres
ent to act on the questions involved, but
a motion to lay the resolutions on the |
table was Withdrawn in order to allow |
Col. Mum to state his position on the |
declaration OF principles involved In the |
minority report. He wanted the conven-
ton to adjourn till morning in order
TO get a larger number of dele
gates together to take some action
on the minority report. The resolutions,
however, We're laid on the table. Ii
was past midnight, and the hands on the
dial Of the hall clock had gone past u
O'Clock. The shrieks of female bathers
came In the windows and the flags and
banners Of the room shook in the bre re
that blew freshly. Many delegates l I'd
departed. About 100 were on ha d
to see the parting moments II
the great Democratic meeting of Il
year. Old men, hair-irosted and wi h
placid cheeks, sat on he benches *
hausted by the hard work of four Gays. |
buzz OF conversation was going round
the hall, and hand-shakes OF parting were
frequent. Some Of the men there had
not met for years, and might never
do so again. Invitations to farewell
drinks were frequent, and most of those
concerned subsequently had them. As
the hands of the clock crawled around
and the feeting seconds crowded fast
upon each other, the last motion the
was ever to know was put.
MIR. Chairman" SAID Duncan of
Smith, quickly, 81 move that the CON
Gention do now adjourn sine die.n
The motion was seconded, and at - :25
IN the morning of Augu st 4, the Demo-
ratio convention for the state of Texas
n the year 1886 passed among the things
hat were.
