tertain the document unless it was
given as minority report of the COM
mittee on platform and resolutions.
Squire Slaughter said that 1t could not
be considered as minority report, but
he insisted on reading 1t and leaving it
to the vote of the convention, as to
whether or not it should be tackled on
the platform. Some one made mo-
ton that the paper be read. This
brought Jno. Allen and r. Ledbetter
to their feet in short order, and they
promptly killed that document, what
ever it was, before it saw the light of
day.
The next business was that of elect
ing delegates to their senatorial and
fioaterial convention. The election
resulted as follows:
First district Walter Ramey, =. r.
Moody.

field.

The delegates from the Twenty-first
district will be selected later.
On motion it was decided to nomi-
nate candidate for the legislature.
The names of r. Ledbetter, Of this
city, and DIR. J. r. Felts, of Collinsville,
were put before the convention. DR..
Felts was Withdrawn, however, and
Ledbetter was nominated by acclama-
tion. This gentleman was called and
briefly acknowledged the compliment.
| A. b. Maxey was then introduced
and spoke for the Farmers Alliance.
The following committee was then
appointed to take a copy of the plat
form and resolutions and present them
to Gov. Buchanan
Jno. b. Allen, J.H. Achey, c. War
field, George King, Geo. Barbee ]. r.
Felts, Clay Long, Hervey Whitfield, G..
H. Slaughter, Clint Young, r. Ledbet-
ter, Col. w. F. Young. The committee
retired and decided to go to Nashville
to-day and discharge the duty assigned
them.
After the business of the con yention
had been completed Col. Young took
the stand to finish his speech. He
only spoke few minutes, congratu.
lating the convention on Its work.
A speech from G. p. Warfeld closed
the day. Mr.. Warfield made decided.
ly the best speech of the occasion. He
did no mud-sliDging and expressed
himself as regretting the dissensions
in the Democratic ranks. OF course
he charged the other side with causing
the trouble. He said that it was utter.
ly impossible to get a great body OF
men in one organization, like the
Farmers Alliance, without having
dissensions I'm the ranks, and it very
often occurred that compromise meas
ures must be adopted to insure peace
Narrowing the political fight down to
q point, he thought the trouble was
between the money power and the
producers. The capitalist wants more
for his money and the producer wants
more for his produce. This is where
the trouble lies, he said, and he had
simply arrayed himself on the side Of
the producer. Mr.. Warfield spoke
about fifteen minutes and was
frequently applauded.
Thus the day passed and thus 1t Il
that Buchanan is being nominated In
dependently before the Democratic
: convention assemblies. There is little
doubt among the organized Demoo
!, racy that, since Buchanan has beer
fairly beat n in the primaries anC
mass.meetings throughout the State
/. he will allow his name to be used a
an independent or Third party candi
, date In order to defeat Democracy ant
: turn the State over to force bill Re
publicans.
