Balloting for the nomination to
the state legislature was now in
order. Many names were put in
nomination, but some withdrawn
as soon as offered. Those practi-
cally before the convention were
Messrs. T. M. Reynolds (the present
incumbent), Yeatnan Johnson, E.
G. DunIavy, John Jones, and DIR.
Sypert. o
The first ballot resulted as follows
Reynolds, 10; johnson, II; Jones,
81 Dunlavy, 201; Sypert, 6.
AS 80 votes were necessary to a
nomination, this was not conclusive.
DIR. Sypert now withdrew his name
and offered that of G. Fl. Slaughter,
Esq, of No. 6, who, however, pc
remptorily declined the nomination.
Voting continued through several
ballots, and it became manifest that
Messrs. johnson, Dunlavy and
Jones were practically the three
candidates. Messrs. Johnson and
Dunlavy were known as state-credit
men; Mr.. Jones has been known as
a low-tax man, but did not Join in
the bolt at Nashville. All the can
didates, however, pledged them
selves to stand on the platform of
August II and support the nominee
of this convention also to vote for
the Hon. James E. Bailey as sena-
tor.
After FIVE ballots had been taken
it seemed that the state-credit men
could not concentrate, while the
low-tax men stuck close to Jones.
Mr.. johnson therefore Withdrew in
the interest of harmony, and at the
sixth ballot it was understood that
the race was between Dunlavy and
Jones. This ballot resulted: Dun
lazy, 344; Jones, p; Ross Bourne, II.
Mr.. Bourne had not been put in
nomination and never was a candi-
date.
The seventh ballot at its first re-
port gave similar result until the
18th district, which had divided
its vote, gave it solid for Dunlayy,
which established as final result
Dunlavy, 400; Jones, 1853.
So Mr.. Dunlavy is nominated.
He is a good business man, a capital
worker in politics and universally
popular; we believe his election a
certainty if the party puts forward
its strength, which there is every
indication of It's doing.
Convention adjourned little be-
fore 3 p. m.
