most harmony characterized the four
hour afternoon session.
Col. J. ]. Thornton, of St James, was
nominated as vice chairman and was
soon the choice Of the committee for Sec
ond place.
The question of electing sec
rotary came up and was discussed quite
freely. AS the next Importance the com
mittee regarded the place as one that
should be filled by a man whose allegi-
ance as a Democrat undisputed. and In
whose ability the party could place con-
fdence. It was suggested that several
names had been mentioned in connection
with the office of secretary, but the only
man spoken Of was George S. Garfield, at
present in charge Of the reform press
bureau. Mr.. Garfield seemed to be the
choice Of the gathering, and the commit
tee without the slightest reluctance left
the selection of a secretary to the execu-
tive committee. At a meeting of the
executive committee held at the Mer-
chants last evening Mr.. Garfield was Sc
lected.

sier being selected as treasurer, the
Fourth district committeeman named

member Of the executive committee.
Every member of the committee made
verbal report of the condition existing
in his particular locality, and the reports
made certainly portend we'll for the fu-
ture. Plans for the approaching cam
paign were thoroughly talked over and
were all of a most encouraging character.
