floor and announced very positivel,
that the minority had right to max

violation of all right and justice sough
to deprive them Of that right. Chair
man Talbert here became very mucl
excited and delivered quite speech
which, however could not be heard
Finally some delegate saoved that th'
gentleman be made to take bis seat.
Col. Haskell: II would like to Sc,
you try it. I have a motion to make

GETTING OUT OF A sNARL.
Finally, after a long wrangle AND
much shouting, Mr.. Benet got the foo
and intimated that the convention
not the Chair, had mada mistake.
Then there were explanations al
around, and Mr.. Nichols finally got ir
his nominations for delegates at large
They were John w. Woford, F. w
Wagner, W. c. MCGOWAN and D. S
Henderson.
Then Chairman Talbert asked sar
castically If Charleston, Riehland anG
Spartsnburg were satisfied.
The Alliance next tried to get a vote
by acciamation, but this was too tough
a proposition for even the chairman
and it finally went to a ballot IS the
only means of deciding what had al.
ready been decided.
ELECTION OF DELEGATES AT LARGE.
The vote resulted as follows: TilIman
ticket 267, opposition ticket ranged
from 81 for Wofford to 3S for Wag-
ener.
DISTRICT DELEGATES.
When the nomination for district
delegates was reached Mr.. Gonzale.
made the point that the nomination
should come from the delegates of the
various Congressional districts. If any
such conference had been held neither
the Richland or Spartanburg delega-
tlons had heard Of it. He moved that
the matter be referred to the district
delegations.
This matter was promptly laid on
the table, and nominations were called
for from the 1st district.
The caucus nominated MIR. Theo. D.
Jervey, Jr., and e. NJ. Efrd, of Lex
ington, as delegates, and G. G. Tracy,
of Colleton, and B. L.White, of Charles
ton, alternates. Mr.. Simons rominat-
ed Mr.. F. W. Wagner from the 1st
district. Mr.. Thomas, Of Charleston,
objected that his colleague had no au-
thority to make the nomination. Mr..
Simons insisted that a vote be taken
and roll-call was insisted upon.
The majority was very restive over
the delay, .ae hour Of midnight hav-
ing passed, and no end Of efforts were
made to rush things through by ac-
clamation, but the minority, led this
time by Ancrum Simons, of Charles
ton, and Jones, of Spartanburg, insist
ed upon the constitutional right to
have roll-call, and the chairman by
this time had come to more amiable
frame of miRd and sustained them.
Finally vote was reached on the bal
lot for delegates from the 1st district
and the caucus ticket was elected by
he usual majority.
The I'd district delegates went through
with a flash acclamation, as did also
he Sd. In the 4th district an opposi-
ion ticket was put up by the Spartan
burg delegatitn I as follows: Delegates
W. L. Grey, of Le"rens, and L. I.
Browning, of Union -Alternates-J. K.
Jennings, of Spartanburg, and A. B.
OF Greenville. This ballot
vas taken by division, a process,
perhaps, never before heard of in de-
lucrative body. The caucus ticket was
elected, the vote not being counted.

'ut opposition, and at l o'clock the
