THURSDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
CARSON, August 12th.-At half-past Q
o'clock this MOI ming balloting for Supreme
Judge wal resumed. No change.
At the conclusion OF the AID vote Martin,
OF Ormsby, moved that the next vote be
taken by written ballot. The motion was
overwhelmingly lost.
An unsuccessful attempt was then made
to take q recess for an hour, the friends of
Beatty favcring, and those Of Taylor and
Sabin opposing the proposition.
Williams, of Storey, moved that the next
vote be taken by written ballot. The
Beatty men almost unanimously opposed ii.
1t was lost by a vote of 81 in the negative,
to so in the affirmative.
Before the result Of the vote was an
nounced, Moore, of Elko, made a slight
breeze by declaring that he didn't know
what the question was. He said he was OPP
posed to secret vote. He believed in all
standing up like men and letting the peo-
pie know what they we're doing.
He changed the nine votes OF Elko from
"aye" to no." Other votes were changed,
so that the proposition was defeated.
At the conclusion Of the 45th ballot the
convention took a recess for one hour.
After the forenoon recess the 46th ballot
was taken. Sabin lost one vote in Elko.
