The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1890-08-05

whom could an appeal from his ruling
be made, and was informed that such
appeal could be made to the temporary
organization.
Messrs. Rutland, Il. Y. Lennon
and J. W. Lyles contended that the
proper mode should be by first enroll
ing the delegates present.
a number of speeches were made
: on both sides and discussion was kept
within the limits Of decorum and par
liamentary practice until Mr.. j. w.
! Lyles sprang to his feet ard said that
there was 70. man in the State that
would yield to the will OF The people
sooner than he, but that h. did not
intend to be throttled by the will ct one
man, or of the ring thet lived within
the shades of these walls.
After this there was generel stir
among the Tillman faction. They all
sprang TO their feet with the avowcd
| purpose Of leaving the Convention.
S. II. Rutland made u speech Of some
! lene til in which he counciled modera-
ton in the interest of harmony and
unity, but he used these words: The
time has not get come for as to acithdraac.
After this attempt at conciliation
there was a great deal Of talk that had
nothing to. do with the question. A
great deal more unnecessary pyrotcch-
MICS were indulgcd III.
S. Il. Rutland got up and said that i;
was understood that the Blythewood
delegation would be contested. What
this had to do with tie motion to lay
ON the table nobody knows.
Mr.. ]. &. Mobley called the gentle
men to order ard he took his seat.
w. j. johnson, of R!dgeway
made some statements about the
Rid seWay contest which were inaudi.
able % the reporter.
So,ne Tillmanite moved TO lay the
report on the table. The point was
made that the chair could not. enter
tain at this stage Of the meeting as
there was no way of asccrtaining who
was or was not entitled 10 vote. The
chair sustained the point and said that
the preliminary organization must be
based on the report of the committee.
T. w. Traylor moved that the con-
venlion take recess for thirty min.
utes.
Again the point was made that no
motion could be considered by the
chair. Things ha been growing
warmer and warmer for some time,
but now they had reached such a de-
gree of excitement and confusion that
any attempt to get an accurate account
Of what transpired was impossible and
utterly futile.
j. w. Lyles, who seemed to
be haunted all the time with the horror
that somebody else would get ahead OF
MIN and lead the seccedcrs from the
convention and thus cut Off forever
his chance of being curo!led among
the great men of the tutsre,
leepsd 10 his feet in wild and excited
manner, rushed for the door, exclaim-
Ing as be 4ent, "Good bye! Good
bye!" The confusion at this point IS
beyond description. The straightouts
cheered Vociferously and those who
were retiring did the same. Cries Of
''hurrah for Bratton! Three chairs
for Bratton!" were aroused by like
cheers for Tillman. For some time
the utmost confusion proceeded. The
Tillmanites Withdrew in body; but
they were not all satisfied that this
movement was proper or. even advis--
able. Members were heard to regret
tina: it had been resorted to; so strong
wac this feeling that one time it was
thought that they Wonld returnto the
Democratic fold.
After the withdrawal OF the Till
NANTES and the restoration of order
the report Of the Subcommittee was
adopted as the basis of temporary
organization.
The following clubs were then en-
rolled.
