Senatorial Convention.


Colonel Moseby was called to the chair
to preside over the Convention COM
posed of delegates from Shelby, Fayette
and Upton. The same secretaries were
selected.
Some discussion arose as to the basis
of representation. either according to
population or number of voters in the
district. Colonel NJ. D. L. Stewart
stated that Shelby county was only en-
titled to floating vote of 9; Upton,
II, and Fayette Is. This was regarded
by the Executive Committee as fair and
just. General discussion ensued.
The parliamentary rules were gener-
ally ventilated, but did not seem to be
understood but by a few delegates pres
ent. 1t was evident that feeling ex-
listed among the seventy-six delegates of
Shelby county to defeat the claims of
Fayette, because Fayette voted solid
against Mr.. Lacey for Congress.
The basis Of representation as fixed
by the Congressional Executive Com
mittee was, on motion, adopted.
J. f, Porter nominated Peyton j.
Smith as candidate for Floating Sen
ator.
On motion, Peyton ]. Smith, Of Tip
ton, was nominated for the Senate by ac-
clamation.
Mr.. Smith being called for, took the
stand and made brief speech, thank
ing the Convention for their favor.

journed sine die.
