+bat a mass meeting of the Peoples Par
~ would be held in Dawson on last
The day and the party came, without
orv enthusiasm, and with an almost
deatb-like stiffness the Peoples party
;+ps Of Terrell county met in the court
bouse and organized an executive COM
uittee and nominated legislative can
didate.
They assembled at the court house at
10 o'clock. very nearly all the populists
taking seats inside the bar.
Fl. r. Loyless nominated Hon. VIM.
Martin for chairman of the meeting, and
he was unanimously chosen.
Mr. Martin, in assuming the chair,
thanked the meeting Tor the honor, not
because it was a Peoples party meeting,
but because it was an expression of es-
TEEN by his fellow citizens. He wanted
everything done with good will towards
ALL and hoped that no ill-spirit against
any one would creep into the meeting.
He said that all Of us had worked to-
gether until recently, and now that there
is division he hoped that neither of the
parties would do or say anything in bad
hum0r.
Hon. Vim. Jennings was chosen sec,
rotary
The chairman stated that it had been
suggested that all Peoples party men
present enroll their names on list. Mr..
S. S. Haynes thought that in order to
prevent misrepresentation the sugg estion
was a good one, and hoped that every
Peoples party man present would enroll
his name.
The populists then went forward and
enrolled their names with the sec
rotary, and when the list was completed
it was found that there were only 36 of

mark by way of parenthesis that there is
no misrepres EN- alton in this report of
those present, as we obtained the num-
Der enrolled from the secretary of the
meeting

been finished the chair suggested that
the appointment of an executive COM
mittee was IN order and advised that
only good men, men beyond reproach,
be selected.
