MR.. GEORGE HARDIN,

Mr.. GEORGE HARDIN,
OF Fayette county, arose and said he regretted
that this question had arisen. he was glad
the disturbance had not arisen in the ranks
of Fayette county. He intended to vote
with Colonel CAN'T for Bate. He Intended,
however to ask no questions as to the vote OF
any man. He thought the resolution would
undoubtedly act as hrebrand, and he
wanted the Convention TO lay the resolution
on the table. There was no necessity Tor
disturbing the harmony Of the Convention.
He moved to lay the resolution on the table.
His motion was put 10 the house, but the
vote was 60 evenly divided that division
was called for.
1t was moved that vote be taken on the
motion to table, by counties. Carried.
The counties retired and returned. The
chairman of the delegation from Fayette coun-
~ stated that Fayette was solid Tor General
Bate but it was he sense of the delegation
that nothing should be done TO deter any
Democrat from voting for the Democratic
nominee for Congress. The twenty votes OF
Fayette were cast TO lay on the table. The
sixteen votes of Hsrdeman were cast against
tho motion to table. Mr.. james Humes re-
ported the vote OF Shelby county as against
laying upon the table. General Harris en-
tered protest, saying that part OF the dele
CATION were opposed to the resolution. The
chairman of the Upton county delegation
said similar resolution had been Ignored as
impolitic at the Upton County Convention,
and though Upton was solid for Bate, she
cast her nineteen votes to table the resolu-
ton The result of the vote practically was
the adoption of the resolution by vote of
eighty-6ve 10 forty-one.
The basis of representation adopted by
the Congressional Commute was adopted by
the Convention.
The two-thirds rule was adopted.
Mr. Harris moved that the vote be cast by
the chairmen of the wards and districts. Mr..
Reddick moved that when ballot was tsken
the various counties retire and report their
action 70 their chairmen who shall report 10
the Convention. Mr.. Harris accepted the
amendment of Mr.. Rsddick and the motion
was carried.

go into the election of a candidate for Con-
gress. Carried.
