RALLY FOR REFORM.
County Democratic Convention.
Two hats’ SESSION—IMPORTANT BltlXXSJ—OXUOATtl—
primary suctions—reoulatioxs.
According to a call from Dr. J. B. Carlton, Chairman
Clarke County Democrats Club, and seconded by 8.
M. IJnntcr, Chairman of the Executive Committee, the
County Convention assembled in tho Court House
Friday afternoon at 1, p. m. The meeting waa called
to order by Dr. J. B. Carlton, who stated that its object
aa announced, was for the purpose of reorganizing the
party, now upon the eve of important elections, of
selecting delegates to the Gainesville Congressional
Convention of 13 proximo, to provide means for tlit
selection of a candidate to represent the county, and for
the consideration of other matters.
On motion of Mr. C. D. Hill, P. A. Stovall was re
quested to act as Secretary of the Convention.
Mr. W. H. Morton moved that a committee of aix be
appointed to report business for the Convention. Hon.
J. II. Christy suggested that one from each district of
the county, aix in all, he appointed as delegates to the
Convention. Carried.
Tho Chair appointed the following committee: J.
II. Christy, W. H. Morton, T. N. Lester, Robert
Chappel, T. J. Lester, S. C. Dobbs.
Air. T. W. Kucker stated that to the last Congressional
Convention, three delegates from this couuty were
seut. Mr. Christy remarked that in other districts, two
delegates were allowed to each Kcpercsentativc, but
that in tho Ninth, the principle of giviug counties
having one or two Representatives, three and five dele
gates respectively had obtained. Mr. Emory Speer
waa opposed to electing delegates upon this entirely
arbitrary principle. Take for example, tho lostGainea-
] Ville Congressional Convention, when Pickens and
Gilmer counties, with only a few hundred votes apiece,
had betwten them six votes in the Convention;
whereas, Gwinnett, with her 2,000 democratic majority,
had only five votes. Thus, the principle wosyinlairand
undemocratic. He was in favor of electing delegates
according to the number of voters, so that the people
could be represented, lie therefore moved that dele
gates bo appointed in proportion to democratic voters,
and tliat in the next Convention, the people demand | week,
this right. Mr. Christy fovored this view and[thought Dr IsImm Goss> ori gmnlly ofHatt county and
Said election to ha held at the Town Hall, in Athens
and at the Justioe Court Grounds of tha militia districts.
Under tit* asms regulations, a primary election for
candidate* for county officers shall be held on the 1st.
Saturday in November.
Mr. Rucker asked if colored men would bo allowed
to vote, and waa answered by the Chair that such of
them as voted the democratic ticket at the general elec
tion, would he empowered to vote at the primaries.
On motion of Dr. B. M. Smith, the Convention ad
journed until Saturday afternoon, at 1 o’clock, when
the Committee could report. Carried. ~ r
J. B. Cabltox, President.
P. A. Stovall, Secretary.
skcond DAT'a roBCKXDcroa.
Mcetiug odled to order at 1 o’clock. Dr. J. B.
Carlton in the Chair.
After the reading of minutes, that resolution pertain
ing to the representation of counties in the Congres
sional Convention, by the exact number of Demoeratio
voters was opposed by Dr. H. H. Carlton, who thought
that it would injure the unanimity which be hoped ex
isted in the district at this time. He argued that it
was impolitic to urge this at present, and moved that the
minutea be amended by striking it out. Mr. Speer fa
vored the retaining of the 'resolution in the minutes,
and thought that since the demand was right and just
it was also politic. After coosidcreble discussion par
ticipated in by Mr. Speer, Dr. Carlton, Mr. Howell
Cobb, Col. B.C. Yancy, Dr. . Jones and others, Dr.
Carlton’s motion was put and lost. So the resolutions
remain iu force. Dr. H. H. Carlton moved also to amend
the proceedings of the first day by striking that reg
ulation which provided for the primary elections of
county officers. Carried. The minutes as amended
were then adopted. The report of business committee
being in order, Hon. J. II. Christy tut Chairman reccom-
mended the following delegates with power to appoint
alternates.
T. W. Rncker, Jno. Talmadge, W. F. Matthews,
Thos. U. Hudson, Jefferson Jennings, tV. II. Morton.
Adopted. Mr. Speer offered the names of following
gentleman to count the ballots for the Legislator in the
primary elections, S. M. Henngtou, W. B. Thomas,
M. D. L. Pittman, C. G. Talmadge and Myer Stern.
Elected. Dr. Smith announced that new officers
shonld be elected. The Chsir gave notice that he
could not hold office another term. Mr. Cobb en
treated him to continue in his position os he was amply
capacitated to do so. The Chair stated that profession
al duties positively prevented him from serving his
fellow democrats any larger in this capacity. The
Choir also stated, that the committee had overlooked
the reorganization of the Club. Dr. H. II. Carlton
moved tliat the question of reorganization be deferred
until primary election when each mslitia district be i
strutted to send names of four men as a executive
committee to represent them in the county Club, and
who should select asnitahle President. Carried. Order
ed tliat proceedinga.be published in the Athens papers.
