A commit- y & ; EEG LAF me ON y/ iy’ tee was appointed to select delegates to be voted on and selected a full roster of Cullom men, and by rap.d work of this followers the report of the committee was unani- mously adopted, and as a result Yates and Cullom will undoubtedly receive the in- structions of the township at the conven- tion next Monday. T. B. Needles, a member of the Dawes Commission of the Indian Territory, and a strong Cullom man, has been in this city the last two weeks and made an active canvass of this township, and as a result came out of the convention to-day with fly- ing colors, and will return to his commis- sion a happy man unless his hopes are shat- tered next Monday. ‘The followers of Hanecy during all this time have not been idle, but their labors went for naught. Warden Tanner of Ches- ter, brother to Gov. Tanner, was here last n-ght with a retinue of his attendants, all former Nashville boys, and put forth his efforts for Hanecy, but failed signally. The convention was the most rapid on record, being completed in the fast time of one- half hour. MISSISSIPPI INSTRUCTIONS. Delegates Will Vote for Gov. Steph- ens for Delegate-at-Large.

It is the intention to make these appointments very soen dn order that there may be no delay in the itnauguration of the new govern- ment, and to secure speedy relief from the serious embarrassments of the present an- omaious condition of affairs.
