county, but he , was greeted with a
house full of people, and received
the closest attention throughout his
speech. It was a wise, conservative
and logical discussion of Democratic
principles, and met with hearty ap
proval by the Democrats who heard
it.
Hon. T. W. Bickett was also ad
vertised to be here at the same time,
but on account of the illness of his
wife he had to cancel his appoint
ment, but hopes to be here later.
Bryan,' Kitchin and Brooks Brooks
. : Ciub Organized.
" -t'-'---' ,
After the speaking a Bryan,
Kitbhin and Brooks club organized
with 250 members, The Club
starts out with bright prospects and
we are sure much good will be ac
complished for the party through
this organization. Hon. J- T.
Yancey, who has been an ardent
worker for the party for many
years, .was elected President, and
Mr. L. M. Carlton, was ele6ted
Secretary. Any one who failed to
join the club Monday can do so by
dropping a Postal card to the Sec
retary, giving their name.
Col. Jno. S. Cunihgham, chair
man, especially urged upon every
voter the necessity for party har
mony and was instrumental in the
the assembling of-the, Jconvention,
Col, Cuningham made a few ap
propriate remarks"' congratulating
the party on such a large and, rep
resentative body of men in the con
vention." He said it could mean
nothing but success for the party.
He then called Col. I. Feather
ston to the chair as temporary chair
man. The Col. on taking "the chair
thanked the convention for the
great honor done him. Messrs. J,
A Noell and C, T. Willson were
appointed Secretaries.
The. first business was the ap
pointment of a committee on per
manent organization. This was
done by selecting onemember from
each of the 1 3 voting precincts.
This committee retired and return-
ing reported that they recommend
ed the temporary organization be
made permanent which' ws unani
mously adopted.
The chair then announced that
nominations were in order for can
didates for the Senate. Mr. L. .M.
Carlton placed before the conven
tion the name of Hon. W. A. War
ren, of Bushy Fork, in an elegant
speech, setting forth his qualities
for this position. The name of
Hon. J. A. Long was also placed
before the convention. The ballot
"on these gentlemen resulted in the
nomination of Hon. J. A. Long by
a vote of 19 86-100 for Long and
15 14-100 for Warren. This nom
ination on a motion by Mr. Carlton
in behalf of Mr. Warren was madei
unanimous.
The next nomination was that
for a candidate for the House of
Representatives. There were three
candidates placed before the con-s
vention for this nomination;
Col. Jno. S. Cuningham placed
the name qf.Mr.' G. G. Moore be
fore the convention in a strong
speech. , Mr! J. S: Noell, of ; Flat:
River, in a speech i that 'caught the j
"convention; nominated Mr. Jno. S. i
Coleman: : Mr.. W, Mr Kirby placed j
the name of our townsman, Mr. S.
G. Wintead beforethe convention
The balloting be'gen. "
On the first ballot . there was: no
nomination,; on, the- second - y ery
little change, and on the third quite
a commotion was raised 'in the con
vention on , account of a dispute
about changing . the instructed vote
of Mb Tirzah, but the chair ruled
that it was a matter which 'that
township would- have to settle
among themselves. This Nvas done
and the balloting went on. After the
third ballot Mr. G. G. Moore got
the floor and asked that his name
be withdrawn, as he did not care to
in any way injure the Democratic
party. H is speech and hissftand
was a manly one. Then the vote
was between Messrs. Coleman and
Winstead and resulted 'as follows:
Coleman, 1 7 84-1 00 and Winstead
17 16-1 00. The chair declared
Mr. Jno. S. Coleman the nominee

Moore hen arose and stated to the
convention that he came into v the
convention as a Democrat and he
was going out of it a Democrat and
urged all his friends to support Mr.
Coleman; justfais! they woujd -him,
and moved to make his nomination
unanimous, which was done.
After Mr. Moore finished his
speech, the nomineeMr. Coleman
went to his side and they shook
hands and passed, a few remarks
which brought a great demonstra
tion from the convention.
For Register of Deeds Mr. W.
E. Webb was re-nominated by ac
clamation. For. Sheriff Mr. N.S. Thompson
was renominated by acclamation.
Then the tug of war came again.
There were five candidates for
Treasurer. It took three ballots to
settle mis. Thev following candi
dates were placed before the con
vention; G. W. Thamas, E. G.
Thompson, Jno. S Clayton, R. A,
Spencer, and O. D. Bailey. Just
before the third ballot was taken
Mr. R. A. Spencer requested his
friends i not to vote for him any
more, and thanked them for their
cordial support.-The result of that
ballot was; Thomas 19; Thompson
9.15: Clayton 4.35: Bailey 2.50.
The chair declared G. W. Thomas
the nominee of the convention for
Treasurer s
The oldBoard of County Com
missioners were nominated for re
election. They are B. F. Hester,
E.'B. Reade and R. H. Bailey. -
Mr, Jno. R. Hamlin was nomi
nated by acclamation for C oroner.
'Mr. Jno: H. Howard was nomi
nated by acclamation for Surveyor.
Thus ended one of the' largest,
if not the most harmonious conven
tion the Democrats ever held in
Person county. c I f the Republicans
can. get anything. , out of that con
vention they are welcomed to it.
Where Democrats take enough in
terest in a convention to attend and
take part, we have always noticed
that they . take enough interest in
the election to . defeat the Republi
cans when they come to the polls.
That will be the case this year.
The ticket nominated by this
convention is a good one and
should get the hearty support of the
Democratic party of the county. Of
course every delegate didn t get his
choice, every one couldn't; but it
was a fair fight. . The . Chairman
Col. Featherston, made a splendid
presiding officer, and every one
had a fair showing. Now let us
rally to the ticket and give them a
rousing majority in v November-it
