CanxEsviLLE, Ga, Jnly 7.—[Bpoelal.]— Ths largest convention ever held In Barlow eonnty convened, this morning to select dele gates to the gnbsmatorUl and congressional conventions. At nine o’clock Dr. Felton began xn address to hlx followers, at ths courthouse, which ho continued qjittl one. Colonel T. Warren Aiken introduced the doctor, (peaking feelingly manner in whleh Tbe Constitution hu Ebosed Urn, and reminding the people time and again that tho issue wu not between Gor. don and Bacon, bnt wu between The Con stitution end Dr. Felton. Dr. Felton mtdo a most plaintive appeal for his own county to stand by him. He spoke foar solid hours and virtually told his hearers that If they went back on him in this hour of trlsl they would ny to the state, “Vos, Felton is slanderer." It wu not *n lane between Boeon and Gordon with him but between Gordon and Felton. He inferred that Gordon bad gotten *11 be wanted and that ho coaid do without Bartow’s vote, bat that that vote would be holm of Gilead for his own aching breast. The Bacon men were thus kept on hand nnder tb* guise of vindicating Dr. Felton from tbo charge of slander and under hit appeals for thslr help. Greet confusion prevailed at the con clusion of the doctor’s speech, caused by Colonel Graham uklng him if would rapport General Gordon if nomi nated, many of tho doctor’* friendx shontlng: "That’* not the question,” "We will answer yonntthe ballotbox," etc. ' Then for ] 0 mlnntu the excited crowd yelled at the top of their voleeo, "Hurrah for Gor don!” "Hurrah for Bacsnl” "Hurrah for Fel ton!” Tho doctor In tho meantime tried hard speak, bnt the furious crowd would not hear him forther. Ho never answered Colonel Graham's qaestlnn, and he quit trying to speak amidst tbe frantic yells of on excited and furloni people. Such another scene wu never witnessed In Bartow county. The Gordon men assembled at tho open house it ten n. m., which wu soon filled. A primary meeting wu organised by electing Colonel K. H. Jones chairman, and Mr. J. G. Montgomery secretary. Eloquent and logical addressee were mads by Colonel B. D. Graham, Colonel Capers, John Aiken and Colonel Jones. At one o'clock the county convention wu called to order by tho chairman of tho execu tive committee, B. H. Dodd. The crowd wu so large that tho specious courtroom could not hold the number, sad tho meeting wu xdjonrned to tho park In ths roar of the courtbouM. As soon u order wu te etered Colonel Graham placed In nomination u permanent chairmen of tho meeting, Colo nel B. H. Jones, Captain A ( F. Wolloy wu placed in nomination by Mr, Warron Aiken. Thla wu thought to ho a teat vote, bnt in reality It wu not, u many votod for Wolley, who declared that they were for Gordon, tho count it wu ascertained tnat Jones re celved 404 voles *ud Wolley 430. Captain Wolley took tho chair, and upon the appoint ment of secretaries tho meeting wu do ilarod organized and ready for business. Colonol Graham oll'cred the following rosolations: Whereas. This Is a democratic mass mooting tbotclore bo It resolved, 1. That wo, the democrats of Bcriotv eonnty, duly sstcmbled hereby, renew onr sllcglanco to Ike democratic party of tho state of Georgia and or the United statu. ft Herolved, that none bnt democrat* who will be qualified to vote In this county forgovernor aud members of congress, et the elections to ho Held In October UNl.

The vote on tho substitute wu taken In the open air, viva voce. It wu impoaiible to form an idea u to whether tho rabstltato wu adopt ed ornot. A division wu called for, and af terwards withdrawn, as the chairman had an nounced tho vote u being In favor of tho sub stitute. Colonel Joneo then called npon all true democrats to return to tho courthouse, and Immediately the Gordon men entered the courtroom amid deafening cheers. A new meeting wu organised, and Colonel Joan made chairmen, with Messrs, Willingham ani Harris u secretaries. The original resolutions as introduced by Colonel Grahsm were re-read by General Albert 8. Johnson, and unanimously adopted, over four hundred end twenty votes being cut In their favor. Colonel H. D. Capers then moved that It is the sense of thla convention that General John B. Gordon is tho oholeo of tho democratic party of Bartow couoty for tho e Alee of governor. Amid a stoim of applaaso the motion wu adopted. Tellers were called for snd appointed. The chairmen called for tellers to represent Ur. Bacon. As many Bacon men had entered tho convention they were uked to act, bat declined, uylng they bed left the ramp convention and hod determined to rapport General Gordon. Among them were Colonel Bob Rodgors and Crawford. Th* vote wu token, and General Gordon re- celved 437 votes. Ths following dslsgstes were then elected to tho state gubernatorial convention: From the eonnty at large—Colonel B. H. Joneo, Colonel J. G. Montgomery, Colonel Uenty D. Capers, John Aiken, T.W. H.Harris. From tbe districts—E. B. Earl, H. T. Cul pepper, G. II. Waring,L. 8. Mumford,W. B. In gram, Th* convention then went into on election for delegate* to tho oongnsaional convention, •nd chose a Cl>menu delegation. When the Gordon men left th* Bacon crowd considerable confusion wu created among the Felton following. Many Boson democrats who, of course, were determined to Mood by the.Ection oftbe Mato convention, related to affiliate with the Folton crowd any longer after their uedemocratlc action lo voting down th* neolnttest pledging rapport of th* nomi nee.
