The Tyler men, however, had not sur
rendered. They had never shown as much
backbone. and they were determined to go
down with their colors. Many of them
professed the belief that the lieutenant
governor would be nominated in the face
of almost certain defeat.
The Buford supporters were holding their
own, although they had no hope of win
ming, but stood firm and would neither give
nor take quarter. Both Buford and Tyler
spurned any offers of compromise. and
neither would accept any but first place. 1t
