ASSEMBLY NOMINATIONS LAST NIGHT

Judging from the number OF leading
Democrats that gathered at the Hotel
Washington yesterday afternoon and the
enthusiasm which they displayed, the
plan to form committee of one hundred

paign will be success. The object of
he gathering was to bring together
Democrats of all shades Of opinion and
weld them into strong compact body of
enthusiastic workers. Those who re-
sponded to Register George B. Fielder's
invitation were all representative Demo-
Gratis aud many of them have taken no
conspicuous part in campaign in this
county before in several years.

was jealous1y guarded by Sergeant-at-

Mr.. Mcdonald, in calling the meeting to
order. said that the State and County
Committees had held a conference and
decided that provisional Com mittee of

cause of Democracy. The committee was
not only to assist the regular committees
in campaign work but was to plan and
carry out work of Its own. The new COM
mittee was in measure to be independ-
ent of the existing party machinery, al
though working in harmony with it and
Mr.. Mcdonald felt positive the participa-
tion of such a committee in the canvass
would reawaken Democratic enthusias II
and ing out on election day one of Ii I'D
sons well known majorities.
