An Awful Charge Against Taylor

Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
MoRRsrowS, Tenn, May l0.-The Con-
gresslonal convention Of the First district
met today and nominated All Taylor for
Congress by acclamation. At the close Of
ten minutes speech, accepting the nomi-
nation, Mr.. Taylor said: "As the world
goes round and round, Az goes up and
Bob goes down."
The most important episode Of the day
probably, was an expression publicly
made BY one Of Mr.. Rodcrick Butler,
editors, present at tho convention, that
the defeat Of Dob Taylor, m indicated
by the report Of the proceedings Of tho
Democratic State convention received this

sIxTlI BALLOT

When the call OF counties for the seventh
ballot was commenced Shelby asked TO re-
tire for consultation and that the ballot bo
taken without her. This was the outcome
of a promise from Chairman Jules Taylor
that when Gov. Taylor's vote descended
below the vote with which ho started he
would comply with the demands OF the OPP
position for an exercise OF
THEIR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.
The delegation retired TO an antc-room,
where the Hon. James NJ. Harris moved
that the delegation be turned loose from
instructions, but cast one solid vote for
Mcconnell. This was opposed by the
Hon. Casey Young, who acted for the
Hon. w. 2. Caldwell and others, who
favored other candidates, principally Trous-
dale. Nothing definite was enacted, and
II is understood that forty-two OF the
Shelby delegates will on tomorrow cast
their votes for Trousdale.
II is conceded by Taylor's most intimate
friends that he Is gone world without end.
The convention adjourned at midnight
until o'clock am. tomorrow.

Taylor, and il seemed that order would

the excited Taylor adherents, who were
waving umbrellas in close proximity to

unanimous. This motion was received
with renewed applause.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May l0.-Whcn the
State Democratic convention adjourned
last night IL was with feeling OF great
anxiety among the delegates as. TO the
strength OF their respective candidates.
The Hamblcn county question was said TO
be a test vote in reality on Taylor's

ihe vote on temporary chairman was not.

egatcs from Iamblon were admitted. On
the other hand, the opposition claimed
That this was only mention OF justice and
Bright, with no reference TO the strength OF
|any candidate.
The Harris element triumphed in their
iomahawking Of Col. W. A. Collier. Had
thero been no instructions for either Of the
cohdidates from Shelby by that delegation
Ool. Collier would have been elected with
out the slightest difficulty. Shelby county
Il called TO vote down toward the
