Meeting Here on Last Tuesday.
Harmony was the keynote of the re-
publican mass meeting held here on
Tuesday. 1t was one of the biggest
outpourings of republican voters that
has been seen here in years. The farm
er left his crops, the laborer his work
and the professional man, for a time,
forgot his business cares and turned out
in force. The rank and file of the party
took hold of the meeting and demon
strated what all careful students of po-
hticai science in this country know
that the republican party is the real
representative party and the one in
which the people rule. 1t was glori-
Gus example of self-government, and
one Of which every free-born mountain
eer who participated has reason to take
q just pride.
The meeting was set for IL noon, and
the courtroom was crowded when the
county chairman raped for order
A few democrats, who were hoping for
y split, were scattered through the au-
eience, but whsn they saw how the
white dove of peace lowered over the
meeting, they left, with looks Of dis
appointment written on their faces
County Chairman John T. Barns call
ed the meeting to order, and in few
words stated its object, which was the
naming of delegates and alternates to
the Bristol convention and the selection
of new county committee. The chair
man suggested that the various districts
assemble in separate rooms and select
their delegates and alternates. N. L.
Ifeery moved that at the same time the
districts select their members of the
county committee, and it was also sug-
Gested that each district recommend
man for county chairman.
After a short interval the districts re-
ported to the convention as a whole
their selection of delegates and altern-
stes and members of the county COM
niittee. Clear Fork recommended W.
3. F. White for county chairman and
