derstood the clay OF the land" in refer
ence to the "knifng" of Enterprise
pet, Mr.. Atkinson, lat the last election, the
people of his precinct and their repre-
sentatives in the convention did not. /
was charged that Mr.. Bielby was no
entirely innocent of the "sanguinary'
deed, and as representative of the
the badly treated precinct of Enterprise
he called for an explanation in their be-
half, although personally he was thor
oughly convinced of Mr.. Bielby's limo
cence.
Mr.. Bielhy denied any knowledge o
the "knifng" of Atkinson until the deco
was down. And disclaimed any part il
the work. He said that he was not il
DeLand on election day Or for twenty
four hours prior to it. That Mr.. Atkin
sons defeat was personal sorrow ant
party calamity.
At this point G. E Kirk (who was no
delegate) arose and tried to Obtain
recognition, but the chairman refused Il
see him. 1t is said that it was Mr.. Kirk
intention to exonerate Mr.. Bielby for al
| blame in the matter and take the onu'
upon himself as the 1Dstigator OF the plo
and manipulation of the scheme. Judge
| Price at this point arose and sale
the explanation was entirely satisfactory
10 the Enterprise delegation. Three
cheers was then given for Enterprise
and Mr.. Bielby was nominated by &C
clamation. He responded to numerous
calls in neat speech, thanking the con
vention for the honor OF nominating hin
for the third time, and denounced tn;
State election law as an act to legalizt
fraud. He did not directly uphold thu
Force bill, but said that the State cleo
ton law was hundred per cent. more
Ubiquitous than the Lodge bill.
