A motion to take a recess till p. m.
was then made, but was declared voted
down.
A delegate then moved to go into an
election for delegates at large to the
Chicago Convention.
Then another delegate moved to take
a recess for one hour, but this was
voted down amid some confusion.
JORDAN HAS HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL.
Mr.. Jordan made another speech, in
which he urged that it was Unfair to
60 into an election for delegates while
thirty-fve delegates were out in the
committee room.
Delegate Evaus, Of Marlboro, sug-
gested that the delegate from Aiken
had already said that the platform had
already been agreed upon in caucus;
did he not also know that the dele
gates bad also been selected by the
caucus?
Delegate Jordan still held the floor
despite sundry calls OF time, and amid
q good deal of confusion. Chairman
Talbert used the gavel very freely in
an effort to keep order. In the inter-
walls Delegate Jordan said that he
wanted to have the privilege of casting
bis vote for Ben Tillman, Irby, Tai
bert and Stokes, thus giving away the
caucus nomination.
He concluded his somewhat ram
+ bling remarks by moving that the
Hon. Ben Tillman be elected a delegate
at large to Chicago by acclamation.
AREcEss.
But the convention had, by this
time, again changed its mind, and a
motion was made to take recess.
This was adopted-ayes 1l6, nays 95;
and the convention again recessed,
subject to the call Of the committee on
platform. Time, 40
At $50 the rather impatient conven-
ton asked Chairman Talbert to ap-
point committee to wait on the COM
mittee on resolutions and ascertain
when it would be ready to report, and
upon motion of Mr.. Latimer the priv
ileges Of the floor were extended to Mr..
William Henry Thomas, of Charleston.
He spoke of what he termed a ''literap'
ring in Charleston; how for years he
had not been allowed to vote for men
of his choice. He alleged that he was
practically disfranchised. What We
have been striving for is free ballot
and fair count. There are good men,
he said, very good men, in the ranks
of the Regulars in Charleston County.
The Rev. Mr.. Sigh reported that the
committee would not be ready to re-
port until o'clock.
Upon motion the convention took
recess until o'clock.
NIGHT SESSION.
At o'clock Chairman Talbert called
the convention to order, and upon the
committee on resolutions and platform
for its report.

the committee, reported favorably on
the resolutions. introduced by Col. D.
K. Norris, which accepted the Ocala
