delegates and audience rs fans. A large
number had taken thei: coats of, some
their vests also, and some their collars.
The fat man was blowing like pOrpOise
and the lean individual was looking at
him and enjoying his disgust and dls-
comfort hugely. Ballot followed ballot,
and no result was arrived at, 1t remaining
much the same rs the first ballot record
ed, only Auctuating vote now and
then to one candidate and now TO An
other.
Numerous were the motions for a re-
cess for ten minutes, but they were slI
voted down, the audience taking hand
in 1t and yelling "NoI at the top OF
their voices. THIS at last caused the
chair TO take rising votes.
Mr.. r. II. Lee, OF Carroll county, said
that probably the reason all motions Tor
recess were voted down wss because the
members were ditlident about stating
what they wanted the recess for. He
SAID he knew what he wanted 1t for, and
he also knew that that WAS what good
many others wanted it for and he would
make motion to that effect He then
moved that the Convention adjourn long
enough to allow delegates al opportunity
TO get u drink.
The chair refused to entertain the mo-
ton.

quick succession, and the result was much
the same, the fifty. eighth ballot standing
