Mason, a gallant democrat and safe leader. Another duty was the determination as to the mode by which the party should make its nomina- tions for members of the general assem- bly, and county and beat officers as well as how Jefferson's thirty delegates to the state convention should be selected These two very important actions to be taken by the committee, to gether with minor routine business nsactions, gave considerable interest to the meeting yesterday, and by noon, at which hour the committee was called to order by MT. Nathan L. Miller, secretary, the cir cult court room was fairly full of candi- dates, politicians, committeeman and in terested spectators
 As soon as the committee had come to order and the large crowd present grew quiet MT. w. K. Terry moved that Prof. I. w. McAdory be elected to the position of temporary chairman. No other name was suggested and Professor McAdory was unanimously chosen.
 Professor McAdory in a few words thanked the committee for the honor done him and directed the secretary to call the roll of members. Following are the members found to be present.
