Languidly, listlessly and Indifferent,
ly did the members Of the COMPRESSION.
al convention 60 to the court house
yesterday morning. They were weary
their countenance wore a disguised
look their clothing did not seem to fiji
and their linen was soiled. The dry
goods houses have had a run on cot
ton bandanas but the fried chicken al
the hotels is still in stock and in good
demand.
The convention was called to order
at 9 a. M, by President Smith, and
the counties answered present. After
casting thirty-fve ballots the conven-
ton took recess for fifteen minutes.
AFTER RECESS
Col. Turner of Boone county offered
the following resolution.
mittee of FIVE whose duty il shall be TO
devise some uniform method for the selec-
ton of delegates from the several
counties OF this congressional
district to the next democr tic CO Igression-
a. convention of said district, such commit
tee to report its &C ion TO the committee at
The earliest practicable moment.
r. W. Richardson of Polk objected
to the resolution and said that the
same matter was now in the hands of
the executive committee and he saw
no good reason why they should be
disturbed.
A delegate from Pettis then whis-
pered TO Colonel Richardson, and
when the whispering had ceased, the
Colonel withdrew his objection.
Colonel Turner then moved the
adoption of the resolution which was
supported by a delegate from Saline.
Adopted.
The chair then appointed the COM
mittee as follows:
Boone-J. o. Hockaday.
Cooper-Dr. w. H, Cooper.
MOniteau-Dr. o. A. Williams.
Pettis-John A. Lacy.
Saline--I eslie Orear.
After the 930th ballot at 9:45 a. m.
the convention took a recess u ntil 2
o'clock p. m.
EVENING SESSION.
After the roll of the counties was
called, r. w. Richardson offered the
following:
Resolved, that in view of the improba-
bility of any nomination being made by
this convention under existing rules and
instructions; That it is the sense of the
convention that In the interest OF harmony
In the democratic party of the district,
each of the candidates now In nomination,
should file with the secretary, his written
Ielease to all delegates instructed to vote
for him from the obligations of such in
Struction, and authorize them to exercise
individually here free choice under the ex-
listing conditions, in order that this con-
ventiou may proceed untramelled TO make
a nomination"
FUN AHEAD.
Leslie Orear made point Of order
that the rules could not be changed
by such resolution.
j. H. johnson, of Cooper, said that
it took two-third vote to change the
rules and said it was a scheme or some
sort of hocuspOcus arrangement of the
Heard men.
S. H. Boyd, of Saline, denounced
the resolution as an insult to the con-
vention. The delegates are
not here representing the
candidates but are repre-
scouting the people, aud the candidates
have no voice in making or changing
the rules.
The chair ruled the point of order
was well taken and the resolution out
of order. The decision of the chair
was appealed from and the chair was
sustained by a vote Of so to 43.
[Cheers.
A few ballots were taken which re-
suited in no change.
THE HAT RESOLUTION.
Dan Wray, Heard man of Morgan,
offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That in the interest of harmony
and In order TO make nomination, which
it seems impossible to reach under present
rules and instructions, the rules governing
this body as to the manner of balloting be
now suspended, and that each individual
