MAKING NOMINATIONS.

since been decided upon. Evans started
the ball rolling by moving that the
nomination for State officers be entered
upon without argument, and ike a
fash this net with as much favor as
the happy suggestion that no speeches
be made in making nominations.
John Gary Evans, the champion Of
Benjamin Ryan Tillman, placed his
name before the convention. Charles
A. Dcaglass nominated John C. Shep-
pard.
There was some delay about how the
vote should be counted, and it was fin
silly decided to call the counties and
the chairman Of each be called upon for
the vote of the county, just as if it
made any difference. The secretaries
labored hard and all to announce the
result of 284 votes for B. r. Tiliman
and so for John C. Sheppard. OF
course it will be appreciated tat the
six votes of Georgetown were not cast,
there being no delegation present.
Some one anxious for supper made 3
vain effort for an hours recess. and he
was both laughed at and voted down.
Nominee for the Senate Mayfeld, Of
Barnwell, ,renominatedL Lieutenant Gov.
E. B. Gary, seconded by Hill, Of Abbe-
vile, Col. James L. Orr was placed in
nomination.
Mr.. Altamont Moses suggested that
it would be advisable to nominate
both tickets at once and save. time.
The advice was needed after Gary's
nomination had been declared by q
vote 264 to so, which was continued
on nearly all questions. s. A. Nettles,
of Prohibition fame, nominated the re-
mainder Of the Reform ticket in om-
nibus style.
Tillman Watson placed Conserva-
tive nominees to the front. The vote
by counties showed the same vote as
on previous candidates, the votes in
all cases being 264 for Reformers to so
