The Closing Scenes OF the Turbu.
lent Gathering.
When the Convention was called to
order at 9 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
says the Virginia Chronicle, it was well
known that an agreement had been entered
into between the delegations from Eureka
and Storey, whereby the nomination Of
Sabin was assured. The agreement was
that il Taylor did not receive the nomina-
ton on the sixth ballot after the recess,
Storey county was to give % votes to
sabin. DR.. Lee, who held the four proxies
Of Lincoln county, agreed to stand in for
Sabin clear through If Storey county
would r~elinquish her claim, and give him
enough to secure his election, the four
votes which Taylor held in Esmeralda to
be at the same time transferred to sabin's
column.
That this was the compact was manifest
from the Of the various delega-
tions. The Storey county men failed to
keep their promises in all respects, and it
was not long before DR.. Lee lost his tenn
per. He said from the beginning that the
Storey county men must let go; that they
were demanding too much in asking for
both Congressman and Judge OF the Su
preme Court, and that they should never
win as long ss he could help it. When the
Storey county men began changing back
ward and forward with the evident inten-
ton Of slipping in their man. DR.. Lee i'm
| mediately went to the Beatty forces, chang
ing back to Sabin ouce in o while, When he
knew he could do SO without giving Taylor
a chance for the nomination.
On the CID ballot, the one on which
Storey had agreed to- go to Sabin, he re-
ceived ten votes from the delegation, but
before the vote was announced the Chair
man changed it to 81 for Taylor. The
Lincoln proxies were virtually for Beatty
after that.
At different times in the balloting each
Of the three candidates had the required
majority, but in every case before the vote
could be announced by the chair, delegates
changed the votes Of their counties 30 as
to throw the high man below the coveted 81.
The SEVENTEEN ballot stood: Beatty 40,
Sabin so, Taylor II, and on the seventy
first Beatty was nominated, securing So
votes to Sabin's "a and Taylor's -.
The usual congratulatory speeches were
delivered by the opposing factions. Bishop
representing Eureka and Tilden talking for
Storey. After which the nomination was
made unanimous.
