to-day in the Senate Chamber. The floor
lobby and gallery were crowded long before
the hour of meeting. Trial Justice Thomp
sons brass band was stationed In the gallery
At fifteen minutes alter twelve O'Clock
Lieutenant Governor Rsnsler ordered the
floor to be cleared of all except the delegates
This was accomplished after the lapse of hal
an hour. Ransier then called the convention
to order, and read the call of the executive
committee. Before turning over his Office hi
desired to make speech, lest he be misun
derstood, and lest being contestug dele. .;;ate
he should have no other opportunity. He
spoke at some length, admitting the failure In
some respects of the present administration
but elsiming that this did not prove the ina
bility Of the Republican party to institute q
decent government. Here he was interrupted
by note sent to the chair, which he replied
to by tearing it up and telling the sender that
hewould take care OF himself.
END further Interruptions occurred, and
there was no confusion I'LL he concluded.
Then Ralney nominated Elliott for temporary
chairman. Allen nominated G. L. Wilder.
Swails nominated CardoZo. Cardozo declined.
A rising vote being then taken, Elliott was
elected by lO8 to %. The result was greeted
with cheers. Rainey, Jamison and White
more conducted Elllot; to the chair, and Ran.
sier introduced Elliott, who took up the gavel
and returned thanks for his election In short
speech devoid of significance.
Rainey moved the appointment of com.
mittee of one from each county on credentials.
Much sparring ensued, Whittemore and Jaml'
son trying to get smaller committee. Smals
suggested that they first elect temporary
secretary. Neagle nominated W. C. Jones,
(Cardozo's clerk who was elected. The con-
sideratlon,; of Rainey's motion was then
resumed, and it was finally carried.
Lee moved to adopt the rules OF the House
of Representatives. This led to some lire.
some flibustering, which lasted for one hour.
Jones, Swails and Motley wanted to amend
the motion by excepting go much of the
House rules as applied TO the previous ques-
ton, saying that they did not want gag law.
Jamison wanted a gag law to suppress the
gas with which 1t was evident that many of
the delegates were charged. Lee at last con-
sented to modify his motion by excepting tie
operation Of the previous question, aud the
motion was then carried amid uproarlous
cheers, music by the band, and the flashing
and roar Of portentous thunder storm which
at that moment burst over the statehouse.
Jones then moved to take recess Of fifteen
minutes, which was carried amid some con-
fusion. During the recess the crowd was
AMUSED byr cue Dauu. ana Elliott proceeded to
make up the committee on credentials. When
the convention reassembled, Elliott an.
nounced the committee as follows: ]. n.
Rainey, chairman; E. E. Ellison, Samuel J..
Lee, John B. Cochran, J. N. Smith, Thomas

ston, Stephen A. swsils, NJ. L. Owens.
This ls one for each county except Beaufort,
Charleston, Chesterfield, Lexington and
Union, each OF which send contesting dele
cations. The vote of those five counties ag-
gregate thirty-two, 50 that the committee on
credentials have practically the power to de-
eide the fate of either candidate by admitting
or rejecting delegations friendly or lnimlcal to
HIM. Onthe committee, as above composed,
the friends of Moses largely predominant, and.
In fact, all superficial indications now point to
the triumphant nomination OF Moses.
