cock twelve and Madison twenty. The
meeting was called to order at o'clock by
DR.. David n. Berg. the retiring committee
man. who hves ID Hancock county. He
appointed N r. Grady, Of Mari
on, secretary, and declared the
meeting organized fox business. A
resolution was offered by Charles Bridges
to appoint committee of i've, to whom all
resolutions should be sent. The considera-
tion of resolutions being foreign to the pur-
pose set forth in the call Judge Jordan op-
posed the resolution and moved 80 table it.
The motion prevailed. The name of Thomas
Taggart was then placed in nomination as
committeeman. and he was unanimously
elected. Fearful of some foolhardy work,
Judge Jordan moved to adjourn. but be-
fore the motion could be seconded. his fears
were realized. Austin II. Brown, d gnitary
in the Bedroom Tariff Club. or something
presented a

down by the big Idolon-th e-shelf Cleve-
land. This was taken up with hurrah
and railroaded through.
The Hood gate opened, otner resolutions
followed. The work of the retiring COM
mitteeman. Dr. Berg. was Endorsed. The
irrepressible Bridges then sprung another
resolution. He wanted Bynum Endorsed
for Governor. but as that gentleman's
friends thought il weuld do him more harm
than good, the resolution was tabled. A
resolution indorsing Tom Tagg tor chair
man was offered by John Coleman. but was
withdrawn as inappropriate TO the meet
ing. The motion of Judge Jordan to ad-
journ was then put and was carried.
The State central committee. as newly
elected, will meet Jan. Is, for organization.
