WILD ENTHUSIASM.
II Of tha Ct,aaCbac ata with the
widest enthusiasm and applause by tho
friends of the several candidates.
1t was at this juncture that E.
d. Graham Of Appling rose and
also seconded Mr.. Norwood's nomination,
in an eloquent speech abounding in humor
and telling points. After the loftiest
eulogy of the man of his choice, he brought
down the house by again announcing his
name as the Hon. T. NJ Norwood of
Liberty. He did this, he explained, because
the question had been raised whether Mr.
NorW ood hailed from Chatham or Liberty.
He preferred to enroll him from the latter
grand old county, the birthplace of so many
illustrious sons with her glorious past
record
AS stated the balloting then began and
was continued until the hour of adjourn
ment.
The permanent chairman of the conven-
JlOu, L. w DlVbT, Ol GDcTlVbl County, WIZ
was elected by acclamation, upon assuming
the gavel counselled harmony and unity Of
action in the proceedings, and paid a fitting
tribute to the enterprise and rapidly increas-
ing progress of the beautiful city of
Brunswick and her hospitable in
habitants. An eulogy OF Ogle-
thorpe also was gracefully rendered.
Speaking of the First congressional district
Of Georgia, he said its material develop
ment was as limitless as the possibilities Of
the future. Mr. Oliver dispatches business
with ease and celebrity.
The convention took recess at 4:20
o'clock until o'clock, after concluding the
sixty eighth ballot without the change OF
single vote.

1t is whispered that there are symptoms of
a break in the dead lock, and several dark
horses are freely spoken of. The most promi-
nent among these appear to be Mayor Les
ter of Savannah, Mr.. Atkinson Of Brunswick
and Mr. Brantley Of Pierce county, but
nothing reliable can be ascertained and the
Gordon and Norwood leaders assert that
their respective columns stand as firm as
the rock Of Gibraltar. Some of the dele
gates, however. are certainly becoming i'm
patient, and it would not be surprising if
the convention concluded it's labors to-
morrow Capt GordOn's friends are cheer
full and have by no mean given up the
