There were contesting dele-

MeDade, neither of which were
allowed participation in the or-
ganization of the convention.
Their differences were placed
before the Credential Commit-

side, were examined by the
committee, whose deliberations
were careful and impartial, and
their report, unanimous, signed
by each member of the com-
mittee, was adopted by I li" eon-

The convention was most
harmonious throughout. It
was a democratic convention
composed of democrats striving
alone in I lie interest of demo-
cracy and there prevailed
throughout the entire proceed-

ing seldom witnessed in so huge!
a body.
It was indeed pleasing to the
heart of the old democrat, to
note the pleasant smiles on
every face, and the good feel-j

The one object seemed to be |
the desire of all—perfect har-

made the following remarks:
Fellow Democrats of Bastrop County:
I thank you for the honor you
to-day have conferred on me.
Some other gentlemen perhaps
would fill the position better than
myself. Vet I will endeavor to
do my whole duty, and rest as-
sured if 1 am guilty of error 'twill
be an error of the head instead of
the heart. I was rocked in a
demooivitic cradle, I was taught
that the funuam> :P'd principles
of our government were the fun-
damental principles of democ-
racy—to-wit, that the govern-
ment is "of the people, by the
people and for the people," and if
these principles of democracy
should disintegrate and bo over-
of Flgin wanted to raise a sub-
scription of SMdti for the celebra-
tion. They (ailed to raise- this
amount, but raised Ss'OO instead,
so there i- evidently a good lime
in store for all who attend. So
long as Bastrop is not going to
celebrate on that day, who will
second the motion to closing up
and taking "a day off?"

Wouldn't it be nice, just for a
change, to get up a dance out at
Fireman's Bark? It would indeed
be such a change; in faot so out
of the ordinary, that we believe
it could—-be made a success. Just
think of old Bastrop giving a
"grand ball."

There will be a called meeting
of the Cemetery Association at
the Opera House, next Monday,
o'clock p. m., to complete ar-
langements for the dinner Fri-
day, June 27th, for benefit of
Fairview. Let all who can attend.
The weather is very warm and
dry and timts are hard, but the
Cemetery work must not be neg-
lected, and if every one will do
her part, this will tax each one
lightly. Many hands make light
work, so come to this meeting,
serve on tho various committees
willingly; sometimes the work is
tiresome and sometimes a little
unpleasant, but let uA hope thi-3
will not be so; everybody is go-
ing to be pleasant and help cheer-
fully, for this cause belongs i j
everybody.
When the committees get to
work, asking fur contributions
and other help, do not receive
them as if they were asking per-
sonal favor-', but. as if they aru
working for you, riot for them-
selves. Hut whether you give
much or litile, let it bo given
chferfully. These ladies a^fTf-
working ull the year round for
you, arid little as you may think
of it, it takes much of their time
and attention; if you doubt this,
take their plans for a year and
find out.
So let 'he whole community
help with not only donations, but
encouraging words and this work
will not be hard.
Let the ladies remember the
trailed meeting and tho gentle-
man the dinner Friday, dune 27th.
