excitement. Harry Dunwody vigorously

| the ground that seven-eighths of the people
! lived in Brunswick. Dunwody made an
appeal for fairness to the country districts

marks.
The chairman ruled against him.
Judge Symmes appealed to the house.
The chairman said he wanted fairness
shown, but Judge Symmes had lost his
chance.
Mr.. Dunwody rose to point Of order,
but cries for Judge Symmes drowned him
out.
Judge Symmes persisted in making a
speech.
The chairman tried to quiet him.
THE AIR FULL OF YELLs.
The Turner men yelled against Judge
Symmes until finally Chairman Lamb said
that if others knew how to run the con-
vention better than himself he would retire.
Judge Symmes still persisted and the
chairman tried to quiet him.
Judge Symmes declared that he would
speak under any circumstances. and the
crowd yelled.
The chairman again asked Judge Symmes
to take his seat, and appealed to Mr.. Dun
woody to help him set the crowd right. The
crowd was quoted, but the attempt TO count
failed. Pandemonium reigned, and the
chairman begged in the name of the Demo-
cratic party for order. The yelling was
kept up during the convention, sometimes
the Turnerites having the call and at other
times Judge Atkinson's friends having
things their way.
Recounts were made but differed and
the crowd went wild again.
Judge Symmes arose again and said the
efforts to squash him would fail. He said
they were trying to rule out an Atkinson
speaker, but he would be heard. Mr.. Beach
denied any effort on the part Of the Turner
men to bulldoze.

Gratis to avoid wrRngling.

had no tight to speak, he having been ruled
against.

Symmes.

in favor Of each district having two repre-
sentatives on the committee.

chairman sustained him.
Mr.. Dunwody pleaded as a democrat to a
democratic convention for fair play, and
introduced resolutions providing for an

Mr.. Beach objected to the resolutions,
I said the Atkinson men were whipped and
| now brought In the resolutions to divest the

ago, aud be opposed resolutions that would
| exclude republicans and admit renegade
democrats to the polls.
READY TO CALL THE NAMES.
He pointed to several and exclaimed that
he could call the names Of renegade demo

so when, amid tremendous yelling, Chair

personalities. and the excitement subsidized

resolutions. and remarked, in reply to
Judge Symmes' question for information
that the substitute was not one the Ocala

looked for fighting. both being courageous

but whoever had asked the question conlc
wear his reply If 1t fit him, and the trouble
ceased.
The question was called for and wal
drowned by cries for Judge Symmes.

Personalities were again INDUCED in and
the chairman interfered.
Judge Symmes told the chairman to run
