DRANNoN's SPEECH.
Judge Brannon was introduced and

aad was simply repetition OF his Sister
vile speech. There was but ulight en-.
thusissm and less attention. The
constant swinging OF the door
was alone enough to embsrrSss
any man. The whole business from bs.
ginning to end was miserable failure

What the effect Of the give away may
be remains to bs seen. There 10 general
feeling OF regret among Republicans that
Messrs. Parks and Long should allow
themselves to be 80 shamefully hood

Ing nominated. The convention was con.
ceded by all to be absolutely fair aud that
the emily reason Parks was not nominated
was because he did not get votes enough,
while an unfortunate remark
made by James Mahon, Esq
In regard to pensions, In hlg
speech nominating Mr.. Long, was the
cause OF his defeat. Parks claims that II
MCElroy district had not voted sold he
would have been nominated. The fact
| ia two OF the McELroy delegates were az
| frat inclined TO vote for Parks, but OF
their only free will and accord finally
voted for Boreman, giving him the nom
ination.
PERSONAL FEELING.
The only thing that occurred which
could possibly occasion any ill.ieslins was
the little episode reported to the Register
Of Saturday. In that case there Is 9 per.
sonal anlmosity existing between Mr.
Giyens and Mr.. Van Camp. Lincoln dis.
trIct delegates were instructed In favor oi
Giyens Tor the House Of Delegates, and as
Van Camp would not agree to support

10 receive his vote.
The trouble In the delegation see med 10
be confined 10 W. II. Gillespie and van
Camp, and as Gillespie has been very ac'
tive Ia advancing the independent candl'
dacy oi 7. N. Parks, there Is but slight
