Another Scrimmage.
On reading the report, the Lucas men,
with Senator Fonta;ne Smith as spokesman,
opposed the consideration Of it until all
other committees had reported. The Hoge
men, with Sam Woods as leader, urged i'm
mediate action on the report. Other lesser
lights figured in the debate, bat the only
result was an increase of confusion. The
motion to lay on the table was defeated,
and the motion to adopt was carried, A
division was called for by the Lucas men,
amid great confusion, and a long debate en-
sued. The convention finally decided to
consider the call, and appointed a commit
tee to escort the president to the chair.
Col. Cafron took the gavel with a firm hand
amid great confusion, and howls by the
Lucas men that they
Would Leave the Hall.
As tie jefferson county delegates arose to
their feet, some o. the members cried out:
We are going. You can't ride u.s." Crogan
attempted to speak and justify the pro-
posed action of The Lucas mer. The chair
would pear 10 one, and soon the Lucas
men took their seats amid applause. The
scene, at times, was wI'd beyond desc-ip-
tion, delegates mounting their seats, yell
ing and hooting at the top o. their voices.
At times dozen or more incipient orators
were on their feet at once, seeking an op-
portupity to air their rhetoric, their voices
being drowned amid the sound of the speak
ers gavel Amid the wild hurrah's one
member caused amusement by a motion
EAejeurn For Two Weeks,
to allow the members to cool down. An.
other delegate asked to leave the conven-
tion, and as he started to leave, there was
general yell of good bye; glad you have
gone" The chair asked that the sheriff Of
Mineral county be appointed sergeant-at-
arms to put out refractory members. A
member desired to know if this was Demo

rule of self-preservation.
Bedinger. of Jefferson, tried to be heard,
and demanded a division on a question
that had been decided by the temporary
chairman. He raise
Regular Howl.
Chipley, of Hardy, asked the chairman il
he was deaf, or did not want to hear him.
And the chair declined to hear him until
he could address him more respectfully.
The Entire Afternoon
has been occupied by the Committee on
Credentials, which has been wrangling
over the contests and other questions that
have been before it. The convention has
been amusing itself wandering about town,
discussing all the phases of the situation.
All kinds of rnmors were heard as to the
result OF the convention. Threatening
declarations were made by many delegates,
if the convention did anything contrary to
their wishes.
The Lucas Men
openly declared that they would break the
Convention up if they were not treated
with entire fairness. This talk became
more general among them as they became
aware that Hose had secured majority on
all the committees, and would have entire
control of the Convention. The Lucas men
began to feel q little disconsolate, and the
Hose men were consequently iubilant over
the capture Of the organization. They
claimed, beyond doubt, majority Of
Three Votes for Hoge.
The Lucas men declared that they should
ard would have the nomination. They
would consider no dark horse nor would
they support Hoge under any circum-
stances.
At IL o'clock, tonight, dark horse talk is
getting louder. 1t is suspected that one or
more of the leaders, or one side or the other,
are ready and willing to be unblanketed,
to be trotted out Fountain Smith is said 10
be both willing and anxious to enter the
