Mr.. Galluchat further stated
s:Appelt's club voted him a Re.
publican" This is not true eth
er. The club has an enrolment
of Az names, at the meeting to
which Mr.. Galluchat refers there
were only IS present, and some
of these were enrolled at the
meeting. On a motion Of Cap
tain W. C. Davis it was unani-
mously agreed to nominate 18

nominated and of course elected,
but MIR. Galluchat suggested
that Applet withdraw and put
S. J. Bowman in his stead, and
then got up and gave as his rea,

of McLaurin, and therefore a
Republican. Mr.. Bowman de-
clined to have his name voted
for, and said he would vote for
Appelt. Then it was that Ap-
pelt told the club to consider II
delegates elected and let the
members vote for Bowman or

the majority, not because there
were any persons present who
believed Applet a Republican,
but because "Old Rock" was the
most popular with them. These
are the facts and the vote in the
Farmers Platform club on the
28th will confirm them. Watch
that vote.
The entire output for the
House was present at the New
Zion meeting. Messrs 0. G.
Scarborough and S. E. Ingram
are advocates Of the local option
system, while Messrs Jones,
Weeks, Dingle, Epps, Woods,
and Green are for the dispen-

Jones and Woods do not seem to
think the dispensary corrupt,
and both seem to fear it is the
enemies ofTillman who are fight
ing the dispensary. Dingle is in
favor of the State institution and
will vote to repeal the sBrice
Act"Which means he would force
