had come here for harmony IN the Demo-
cratic party, and in favor of any good man
who could carry the district. He had his
preferences, 1t was true, but he should not
allow his preferences to run away with his
Democracy.
These patriotic remarks were greeted
with enthusiastic applause.
The balloting was then resumed.

When the one hundredth ballot had been
taken, Mr.. Dart, of GIynn, slated that the
convention had during the entire balloting
demonstrated the fact that Col. Nichols was
the strongest candidate In the field. The
tWo-thirds vote was adopted for the protec-
ton OF minOrities, but when It was evident
to the minority who was the choice Of the
convention they should periodically yield
their preferences, and should come to the
support of that candidate. 1t would not do
to continue this struggle. He had heard
that a gentleman by the name
of johnson, a son OF the late Governor
Johnson, would be the Republican candi-
date for Congress from this district, and it
would not be wise for this convention to
fritter away time and allow the Republi-
cans to take advantage OF any fancied dif-
ferenCe in the Democratic party. We should
make nomination, aud that speedily. 1t
was due to Colonel Nichols, as the candi-
date polling the highest vote, that the other
delegates should come to his support. In the
last convention the Nichols men polled 90
votes, and yet they conceded their prefer
ence, and went over to Black. He could
say here for his own section, without fear
of contradiction, that il Colonel Warren
had developed the strength to justify it,
they would have come to his support. And
we would do the same In the case Of Colonel
Black, for whom we have every respect.
We should now come to some understand
ing in this matter. 1t is due to our cOnsti-
tuents With the strength that we have,
you cannot ask us to come to you. 1t is but
right that you should come to us, and assist
In secu ing success to the Democracy.
Mr.. Russell arose ami stated that if the
delegate from Glynn wss so anxious for
harmony, he should have come to them
when Colonel Warren polled twenty-five
votes. The ballots proved that Colonel War
rem stood high in the convention, and his
friends had the right to expect others to
come TO his assistance, Colonel Nichols
had represented the district, and Chatham
had given him her full support. When
Black was nominated Chatham rallied to
his standard and carried the election.
Col Sweat-Does the gentleman intimate
that Chatham county is the Frs Congress
soual district? Laughter.
Mr.. Russell replied that what Chatham
had done in that campaign was well known,
and her support was vital to the success of
the candidate II Colonel Warren is sent
to Congress, he will represent all interests,
and will do credit to the district. He was a
personal friend of Colonel Black and Colonel
Nichols, but he was also friend OF Colonel
Warren, and felt that In this crisis Colonel
Warren was the man who would fully and
thoroughly represent the district.
Mr.. W. o. Csssels, OF Liberty, said that
they were neutral in this matter, and were
favorable to any of the gentleman named
ton.
On this ballot Mr.. Pughsley, after some
difficulty, succeeded in getting in a
motion to adjourn for half an hour, which,
on being put TO a vote, was lost.
