Proceedings Of the
Meeting.
II MUST BE AGGRESSIVE.
THE HOSTS MUST BE ORGANIZED

The Central Committee met at the
court house, in this city, Monday,
August 20, at 10 o'clock, and was in
session nearly all day. Every member
of the committee was present, and
though no anticipation of danger to the
ticket was expressed in the committee
meeting, there was Il prevailing opinion
that from an aggressive campaign an
overwhelming majority would he
recorded on the democratic poll book
for the county nominees. The interest
the committeeman take in the campaign
is conclusive proof that the gentlemen
who are To pilot tine county democratic
ship by the breakers, in November, have
been wisely and judiciously selected. A
campaign managed by such men is sure
to he successful one. AN increased
majority is what the committeemen
were talking, and we believe their
efforts will he successful.
The subject of the vacancies In the
county ticket was the first to be acted
upon.
