Hagood was elected chairman.
MAJOR CARwILE's RESOLUTIONS.
AS soon as the Convention was organized
Chairman Carwile, OF the conference, offered
the following:
Whereas, men prominent In the affairs OF
the State claiming TO be Democrats, some OF
whom are now seeking nomination for high
offices as Democrats, have declared them
selves bound by the principles announced al
q Convention held at Ocala in the State OF
Florida on the Sd day OF December, 1880, as
paramount to all other political principles
whatsoever. which principles are centralizlng
In their tendency and opposed to those OF the
Democratic party:
And whereas, others so now claiming to be
Democrats have allied themselves with mem.
bers Of a new party styled the Populist party;
and have declared themselves ready TO aban-
don the Democratic party whenever an op.
portupity favorable to the success OF the 80.
called PopuIist party shall present itself:
And whereas, under such circumstances II
becomes the duty Of the Democratic party In
this State, throug gh its official representatives
In Convention assembled, explicitly TO de-
clare its position in regard to these disturbing
influences:
Resolved, That this Convention, composed
OF loyal Democrats from all parts OF the State,
demaned Of the Cow vention 10 assemble on
the 18th instant, under the call OF the ex.

Of the National Democratic party, and to
repudiate and rescind the action Of the State
Convention Of 1892 adopting the Ocala plat
form as that of the Democratic party Of this
State.
2. That this Convention also demands of

edges allegiance 10th Q said Oca1a platform or

3. That the nomination by the Convention
