two OF the other friends of Mr.. Springer,
went TO the Mills forces. Mr..

and no election was possible while they re-
NAMED loyal to the Tennessean. During

before the call began, MIR. McMilin, who
had been standing in the rear lobby, entered
the hall. Instantly there was burst OF ap-
plause, as this was an unerring Indication
that the gentleman from Tennessee was to
withdraw from the contest. Mr.. McMillin
obtained recognition from the chair, and
thanking his followers for their loyal and
constant support, formally withdrew from
the contest amid applause. AS the ballot
proceeded the followers Of the Tennessee
candidate began to scatter. Messrs. Gov
ert, Enloe and Kyle went to Mr. Mills and
Mr.. Washington to Mr.. Crisp. When the
nameof Mr.. McMillin was called that gen.
tleman himself voted for Mr.. Mills.

and at the conclusion of the ballot Mr.

and his little band of followers holding the
balance Of power. IL remained to the
