" Atlanta, May 31.—The Parker caucus called to-night in the ball room ot the Kimball House adjourned amid the wild est tumult and most turbulent scenes of disorder ever wituessed in a Georgia Democratic gathering. There were cheers and yells and hisses, and so gre at was the confusion that it was impossible to take any action. After Judge E. B, Calloway of Rich mond had been elected permanert chair man, the roll of the counties was ca!led. During this period the disorder amount ed to simply a continuous buzz of conver sation. Many motions got before the caucus, but only the motion to adjourn was acted on after it was apparent that any other action would be impossible. Atlanta, Ga., June I.—After a red hot fight over the question as to whether the word ‘‘request”’ or ‘“‘instruct’’ should be used in resolutions favoring the nomina tion for President of Judge Alton B. Par ker of New York those favoring instruct jons won, and the state Democratic con vention, at a late hour this afternoon adopted the following resolutions by a vote of 166 to 1573, which was then THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL Leesburg, Georgia, Friday, June, 3, 1904. made unanimous by the convention: ‘“‘Whereas, We believe that Judge Alton B. Parker of New York is the choice of an overwhelming majority of he Democracy of this state as the Demo cratic nominee for President, and ‘“\Vhereas, It is the duty of this conven tion to give force and expression to its wishes; *‘Resolved, That the delegates from Georgia to the national Convention to be held in St. Louis be and they are hereby instructed to cast the vote of this state for judge Alton B. Parker as the nominee of the Democratic party for President, so long as in the opinion of a majority of the delegates there is a reasonable probability of his nomination, and that said dele gates shall vote as a unit on all questions as a majority may determine, The resolutions as reported to the con vention by the platform and resolution committee were identical with those adopted, with the exception that the word ‘‘request’” was nsed in place of ‘“‘in struct.” It was ona motion to jstrike out ‘‘request”’ and substitute ‘‘instruct’’ the only bitter fight of the convention I have a few pair of women shoes good value going at _____ 84cts. per pair Pressgooas fyom . o 0 o a s o SORE. 10 TOOLS, DEE S Trimmings and laces to match at reduced prices, Afulllineof Ribbons from. .-..~ .- - . 10t& fo §5016 Dk viod, When in town call around and examine my line of Buggy and Wagon Harness.
