port and it was adopted unanimously.
Col. Dixon remarked that there was no
opposition and that speakers were rather
scarce, but that he would hear sugges-
tons. Immediately every man in the hall
began to cry for his favorite with Mr..
Oliver slightly in the majority.
Mr. Oliver said he had understood that
there would be no speaking and he was
surprised to see that the chair had allow
ed itself to be overruled. Col. Dixon de-
clared that he had heard no call for ad-,
journment. but he had heard OLIVER
called. Mr.. Oliver said that 100 represen-
tative men had named twelve good men
and he was glad that the people were
pleased with the selections. He was glad
there was no opposition, which was
the best Endorsement the ticket could re-
ceive. He declared that when the city
accepted thetwleve men without protest
it was the strongest Endorsement that
could be given. Mr.. oliver asked that
the new men be given the support and
encouragement of all citizens, and pre-
dicted that they would perform their du-
ties so well that there would be no oppo-
sition to them two years hence.
There were calls for Col Waring Rus
sell. He said that the committee of 100
was the most respectable body of men

had been placed on the ticket received a
two-third vote of the committee, and he
asked that each person within the sound
of his voice vote the straight ticket.
