to the convention they could all agree
on. LCheers.

the trouble had arisen out of individu-
atty, and he wanted them to sink indi-

present another man they would vote
for him, because they did not think Mr.,

the name of Mr.. Lacey, and if that were
the case they would withdraw the name
of Mr.. Fentress. ICheers. 1t was quite
plain that they could not harmonic on
Mr. Lacey or Mr.. Fentress, therefore, if
Mr.. Lacey was withdrawn, he would
withdraw Mr.. Fentress. He then read
a letter from Mr.. Fentress, to the effect
that he had no desire to be pressed on
the convention, unless 1t was necessary
to do so in order to unite the Conserva-
tive party.
Mr.. Fraim said he was not authorized
to speak for the delegation of Shelby
as to the withdrawal of the name
Of Mr.. Lacey. He only spoke for HIM
self; but they would withdraw MI. La
