When johnson gained an additional
vote on the ifth ballot the crowd in the
gallery applauded, whereupon Senator
Mayre, of Chattanooga, moved to clear
the gallery in case the demonstration
was repeated. Senator Msrchbanks
hoped this would not be done, as he was
willing to allow the boys to 'shake 'em
upn a little occasionally, which
speech was greeted with a
deafening yell from the specta-
tors, whereupon Senator Mayre
moved that the galleries be cleared at
once. Mr.. Cummins moved that the
roll be called. On Senator Marye's
motion, Mr.. Taylor said that if the gen.
tleman from Upton Mr.. Cummins]
was afraid of this expression Of popular
feeling, he had better have the conven-
ton go into secret session. Laughter
and applause Mr.. Cummins said he
proposed to uphold the dignity Of this
general assembly, and was not going to
be intimidsted into voting for any par
ticular candidate. The roll was finally
called, in the midst of considerable
noise and confusion, on Mr.. MaTye's
motion to clear the galleries, and it was
lest by vote OF % yeas to IS nays, the
majority OF the members voting in the
negative explaining that they did so
in hopes that quiet would be observed
by the crowd in the future. Only one
Of the Shelby county representatives
[Mr. Hsynes] voted in favor Of the mo-
ton, the presentation of which caused
the ladies to leave Immediately.
