POLITICAL MELANGE.
The following resolution was passed
in the sixth ward meeting Saturday
night by unanimous vote.
| Resolved. That the delegates from the
9Th wardsto the county convention be in
| structed to introduce and urge the adoption
| of resolution requiring each delegate to
pledge himself to vote for and openly and
b Idly work for every nominee of the demo-
cratic party, from governor to constable.
Resolved. End. That our delegates to
the county convention be instructed 10
introduce, and urge the adoption of reso-
luton requiring such delegate who places a
candidate in nomination before the conven-
ton, to pledge said candidate, whether
nominated or defeated, to vote for and
boldly and openly to work for the election
of every nominee on the democratic ticket.
There was trouble in the Tenth
ward Saturday night and the ants
claim that the delegation was in
structed. 1t appears that a resolu-
ton to instruct for Hogg was adopted
by vote of 80 to %. Subsequently
the author of this resolution intro
duced another instructing for Hogg
first, last and all the time, and by
common consent it was put to a vote
and lost, and it is held by some that
this vote killed the first resolution
as the common consent of all to vote
on the last resolution acted on the
first as a reconsideration of the vote
adopting it. Following is Maj. Wal
tons idea Of the matter:
AS there seems to be some misunder-
standing or misrepresentation as to exactly
what was done by the Tenth ward meeting
as to instructing for General Hogg for gov
ernor, deem it my duty-having presided
as chairman of the meeting-to make the
following statement:
l. Mr.. l.. E. Daniels made motion to
instruct the delegates to use their efforts to
procure Hogg delegates to the convention
| This motion was carried-32 to 20.
+ 2. Mr.. Daniels then moved that said dele
| gates be instructed to use their said efforts
in favor Of General Hog0, first, last and all
| the time. The vote on this motion stood
80 to 30, and | ruled it lost.
For myself individually, consider my
| self instructed to secure delegates to the
nominating convention favorable tC Gen
eral Hogg. W. M. WALTON.
| This is correct, except the vote stood 30
to % instead of 80 to %.
| RANDOLPH LAURENCE,
Secretary Tenth Ward Primary.
The complete and correct list of del
egates to the Democratic convention
from Scott's store box are to the county
convention: Worries B. Brown, w. S.
j. Sherwood, John Dowell and r. M
johnson. To the precinct convention
the delegates are j. S. Simpson, D..
X. Allison, J. G. Muller and w. w.
Wood. The delegates are uninstructed,
but it was voted as the sense of the
meeting that ]. S. Hogg, John d. Nc
Call and w. B. Workman are worthy
of the confidence of the people to the
Offices to which they aspire. Worries
p Brown was selected chairman for
the next two years.
All day yesterday able di.interested

ing on the result and below Are some
