The Convention was then declared
ready for business.
Capt. II. W. Martin moved that all cleo
tons by the Convention be by vira soce
vote, upon call of the roll.
Col 3. w. Simpson moved that the
motion be laid on the table, which on the
call the roll, was adopted by q vote OF
s93 to 73. 4,
On motion of Col. r. w. Simpson, the
Convention proceeded to the election Of .
County Chairman, and two Vice Chair
men. =, s.
Nominations being declared in order,
Col. r. w Simpson nominated DR.. s. M.
Orr for County Chairman, and in doing
so paid q high tribute to that gentleman's
worth, ability and zeal. He said that the
present incumbent had served the party
faithfully, but that he believed in rotation
in Office, and thought change in this po-
sition would be advisable. DR.. Orr would
make a safe leader, and would discharge
his duties faithfully.
Col. L.. E. Campbell nominated Hon.
Il. b. Murray, and said he endorsed what
Col. Simpson had said about DR.. Orr, but
that he believed It would b. unwise to
make change at present. Mr.. Murray
had served the party very efficiently and
faithfully for ten years, and needed no
praises at his hands, as he was too well
known to Sonr people. He knew of no
man who was better qualified to lead the
Democratic party. and it gave him great
pleasure to place Mr.. Murray's name
before this Convention. E
Dr.. II "A. Hudgens seconded the nomi-
nation of Dr.. Orr, and Col. w. e. Walters
seconded the nomination Of Maj. Murray,
both gentlemen speaking in high terms of
the respective nominees.
Maj Murray called Vice. Chairman J.
w. Norris to the chair, and retired.
There being no further nominations, on
motion the following tellers werea appoint
ed to count the vote, the first three being
appointed by Col. Campbell, who nomi-
mated Maj Murray, and the latter three
by Col. Simpson, who nominated Dr. Orr:
sW. "a. Neal w. a. Geer, @. Wardlaw, J.
M. Sullivan, II: d. McElroy and q. s..
Trescot. 2. Il. $ !
Col. b. w. Simpson moved that only
the delegates present be counted.
Col. L. E. Campbell offered an amend
ment to the effect that, where only partial
delegations we're present, that they be
allowed to cast the full vote Of their Club.
Maj. B. F. Whitner moved to lay the
amendment on the table, which was car
ried.
The tellers then retired, and while they
were counting the vote, Maj AS. Todd
offered the following resolutions: =
Resolusd, BY the Democracy of Ander-
son County, as represented in this Con-
.yention, that we recognize in the admin
istration of President Cleveland grati-
flying adherance to the truly Democratic
doctrine that ..public. Office is public
trust that ne heartily approve the wise,
economical and conservative policy Of the
present National gouernment, and that
We commend to the support of all Sec
tions Of the country the administration
