dealt the major’s argument a
violent upper out, but failed to
land.hara, Q. L. Clark landed
heavily on Rumph’a solar,
plexus and it was thought by
some that the latter was knooked
out. But he rallied and it was
plainly evident that many more
rounds would be required to bast
either eide.
W. H; Minter attempted to
end the battle royal; by moving
that both sets of resolutions be
submitted to the populist voters
of Erath oounty on the 8th day
of January, 1897.
Rumph was in the ring to stay,
and he fought this new proposi-
tion almost as vigorously as he did
the former. Hanoook aoted as
seoond, and proceeded to assail
the Minter compromise.
G. L’ Clark took a hand in
ito favor, as did also the o)d war-
horse and veteran populist, Judge
W. A. King.
Young Henley, late from the
hill oountry of Arkantas, where
pure spring water, fine mountain
air, lucious fruit and pretty
women abound, made a forcible
attack on Minter's motion, and
when he had sat down the re-
mark was made that he would be
a good man to send to the legis-
lature. . :
Snell and Bell, the cotton
buyers, and some others op-
posed the Minter resolution, and
by the time all had taken a
punch at the poor little resolution
its life was extinot; however, the
formality cf a vote was gone
through whioh proved to be un-
neoeasaty. The vote was then
taken on the King substitute,
resulting in it being defeated by
a vote of eleven to twenty-four.
The Rumph resolutions were
adopted.
A motion to submit King’s
resolution carried and its main
points were agreed to to be sub-
mitted on January 8.
State chairman Bradley waa
then brought forward. Noteven
an attempt at applause greeted
him. He began by aaying that
