When Clarke county was first called, sh,
asked time s'not ready Whena asked fol
her vote second time, and Mr.. Bowman
the chairman OF the delegation, rose to hi
feet to announce her vote, there was til,
profoundest silence 1t was in her powe
to nominate either Galloway or Munger
Imagine the surprise of the Convention
when the words, sClarke county casts he
thirty -four votes for James S. Goode, o
Clarke county," were heard. For an in
slant not sound was made, then roa
after roar of laughter told the Convention
that the delegates .ssaw the point.p I sts /
There being no election, fourth ballo
was taken, giving Galloway 40; White
Munger 49, Goode SO.
Now commenced the engineering. The
Goode men, the Galloway men and tht
Munger men were mixed, and the quantity
of 'chin music" slung was awful. 1t re-
suited in changing the last ballot by taking
three votes from Galloway and giving
them to Goode.
The next ballot showed gain of eleven
votes from Franklin county to Goode, CIV
ing him 80 votes to Galloway's 81 and
Munger's 40.
Madison county stuck to Galloway, Civ
ing himhe 1e votes with unparalleled reg
ularity. s& |as EleiN NHeEtl
{ On the eighth ballot it was evident some
thing was up. The Franklin delegates
were all of flutter. 1t came out on the
call when she cast 46 votes for L. J. Critch-
field, Greene voting SO for Munger, Clarke
81 for Goode and Madison, amid great ap-
plause, 16 for Galloway.
Now commenced new engineering. Bar
.rels of sweat were shed in the effort to ac-
commodate and harmonize widely diverg-
ing and clashing interests. The room to
which Franklin retired for consultation
looked like hive of angry bees as the DEL
egates buzzed and hummed and swore
themselves into terrific passion. When
the delegates returned to the hall they
were all divided, casting a vote here and a
vote there and effecting nothing. asfs sdT
heninth ballot resulted in Clarke voting
solid for Goode, Franklin for G.. c. Walcott,
Greene for Munger. and Madison for Gal

The Clarke county men began now to
smile sweetly ON the Franklin delegation,
but without avail. With the stern frown
OF severe virtue Franklin cast her 46 votes
for Gen. G. G. Walcott. Clarke, to give
power to her sweetness, added ten7of her
votes to it, giving the remaining "a to
Goode; Greene stuck to Munger, and Mad
ison 16 for Galloway. q. -.
Greene county for the first time retired
for consultation; on her return she voted
SO votes for Ben. Nesbitt. Madison county
gave her l6 votes for McC Cloud, of Madison |.
To these Clarke added ten votes.
Mr.. Gooder in a neat little speech with
drew his name from before theconvention.
Greene and Clarke counties hereupon re-
tired for consultation.
~ Mr.. B. F. Martin, of Franklin county,
asked the Madison county delegation to
withdraw the name of Hon. Sam. Galloway,
returning the thanks of Mr.. Galloway's
friendsin the Convention to Madison coun-
ty for the noble manner she had stood by
him. 1t was neat little bid for the vote
Galloway's name being withdrawn. But
the bid for votes fell on sterile soil, for
when, on the thirteenth ballot, after Fra nix
lin had given 46g votes for Gen. Vale utt,
and Clarke had added IL to that number,
Madison, disregarding the sweetness
wasted on her by Mr.. Martin, cast her 16
votes for McCloud.
On the fourteenth ballot the vote stood
thus: !
Walcutt-Franklin 46; Clarke L.. Total
Winans-Greene SO; Madison 16; Clarke

Judge Wiuans having received majori-
ty of all the votes cast in the Convention
was declared nominee of the Conyen-.

Mr.. McCracken, of Fran kiln, moved to
snake the nomination unanimous by ac-.
clamation." Carried, by great shouting
on the part of Greene county, and long
drawn sighs by the Franklin county dele
