EXCITED DEMOCRATS
Open Dissention and Discord at the
County Convention.


County Convention.
The democratic convention was con-
tinued the whole of Saturday and they
had lively time Of 1t after the LIGHTS
report was published.
A little alteration ensued between
Mr.. Summerlin and Mr.. s. p. Maury,
respecting the primary meeting at No.
6. in which the lie was passed and blows
threatened. but bloodshed was averted.
The disputing delegations from pre-
cincts and Is were there to enforce
claims and both were seated.
The committee reported the following
for permanent organization:
Oscar Bergstrom, chairman.
g.. W. Russ and j. l.. Slayden, vice.
presidents.
W. ": Heron and Frank Bushick.
secretaries.
Jesus Hernandez and Emile Opper-
mann.
And then an adjournment took place.
On Resembling, Archie Chevalier
wanted the delegations seated
separately, and this being done.
he moved committee Of ten
be appointed to select delegates to the
variOns conventions. Schramm thought
that undem ooratic and wanted each
delegation to nominate man, whilst Ed.
Dwyer wanted to give the chair power
to appoint. Capt. Story limited that the
whole thing was out and dried, where
on Ed. Dryer hurled the vile insinua-
ton In the captains teeth, but they didn't
fight. Coopwood was in favor OF
Schramm's idea, Chevaller made pro-
fessions of democracy and urged the
purity OF the convention. Banks
thought the chair would act fairly and
the Dryer motion carried. McLeary
then introduced resolution endorsing
Cleveland. Ross, Coke, Ssyers, and
Mills, tariff for revenue only but oppos-
ing sugar and wool being placed on the
free list. and urging state platform on
prohibition. Ed. Dryer wanted the
sugar and wool item knocked out be-
cause the party and Sayers did 30 too.
Callsghan moved as q substitute reso-
lutions against prohibition, but G. 8.
Robinson supported Dryer, but here
discussion ended by the appointment Of
committee to select delegates.
An adjournment was taken and the
committee met. The Hon. A. w. Hous-
ton was nominated for chairman. Cal
who was elected. Houston was also de-
fested as q delegate to Fort Worth by

On resumiDg the discussion on the
tariff Coopwood was in favor of Dryers
amendment. McLeary was an admirer
Of Cleveland, but If wool was on the free
list he wanted to see wooden fabrics
there also. Callaghan ended the matter
by bringing in resolutions endorsing
Cleveland and approving Of his mes
sage, which was adopted.
Mayor Callaghan said he favored
Ross reelection, but he believed
the delegates should go uninstructed.
Story thought some one was stabbing
Savers over Ross shoulders. Gala
ghan's resolution was defeated and the
resolution endorsing Coke, Mills snd
Sayers was also defeated, and the bal
anGe of the McLeary resolution was
tabled. Col. Morrison then nominated
Bryan Callaghan as j. D. Sayers' sue
cessor in congress, but the mayor mod
estly said he hadn't thought OF such a
thing, and would vote for Sayers, thus
