COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
ASSEMBLING OF THE COUNTY'S
SOLONS.


Not Yet Effected.
Today opened the ball, the election
ball, in old Bexar, tried and thorough.
ly tested through many generations
past, in the political fire, and almost
torn asunder by the mighty politico-
volcanic nature of its cosmopolitan
components. At the early hour of 8
q. m. the clans began gathering at the
convention hall. Mission Garden. All
could not find their places at first, as
many of the west side delegates very
infrequently visit the east side, or
wear out the Commerce street bridge.
They have their mast and their mail
brought to them now, and their pu bile
schools and churches on that side are
as good as any. BY eleven O'Clock, how
ever they found 1t and large quorum
was present when the chairman of
the executive committee Capt. Edgar
Schramm, called the company to Or
der in the large and airy, although
undecorated hall. An indiscriminate
arrangement of delegates was made
by themselves. Old heads, young
heads, old strikers and whippers.in,
and young would-be fellows. fiedg-
lings in the cut of the local statesman,
ranged side by side and elbowed
each other. Bryant Rogers and
Kampmann had whole row to
themselves. The Dryers were on
one side and the street commissioner,
county officials, lawyers and mer-
chants, county clodhoppers and city
officials were mingled, not with the
perfect ideal of beauty as in a bouquet,
but much like one in the punching
together. After calling to order,
Hon. Oscar Bergstrom, city attorney,
was elected by reclamation as tenn
porary chairman. He made speech,
thanking the delegates for the honor,
and spoke to the nomination of the
Hon. w. H. burgess as a precinct dol
egate from No. IA.
He then announced that the next
thing in order was the election of a
temporary secretary.
w. l.. Smith spoke for No. pre-
cinct, in favor of placing the name of
VIM. Ferguson for addition to the list.
The chairman ruled no.
Captain Story nominated John
Sehorn for temporary secretary and
Theodore Banks nominated Il. E.

Sehorn. Russi nominated George r.
Dashiell, but he Withdrew. Bryan
