votes cas- should be ne,e ,ssry to make
a nomi' alton, and light here let it be
remaI Ied that tho word plurality" is
not nee mentioned in that call nor
we it intended to be then nor can it
b now of any binding fore whatever
On any member of the party, nut in
any case where the peopl, lad failed
to give a candidate a mai ,rity Of the
votes, cast in the primsry, then the
convention, which had teen ,alled to
count the vote and declsre tho result,
was to proceed to make such nomina
tions as the people had failed to make,
and the members of the convention
were to be free to dc as they pleased
after the first balloal
All this was done just as set forth in
the language Of che call; the utmost
fairness prevailed throughout; each
and every candidate had every frac-
ton of his strength ven down to the
minutest counted and cast for him. On
the first ballot Geo. G. Stuart received,
emitting fractions, some 20 votes thus
lacking some II votes and q fraction of
a nomination; NJ. F. Hickey received
on first ballot, emitting fractions some
% votes, thus lacking 10 votes and a
fraction of a nomination; Martin re-
cieved 81 votes and Hilbert II votes,
making a total of 81 votes in the con
vention% necessary to a choice any frac-
ton over 40i. Then the chairman an
nounced there was no nomination.
Then, in the language of the call, the
delegates were free to do as they
pleased, and hence they proceeded, just
as any free men would do, and just as
the call authorized and instructed them
to do, to vote for the candidate of their
choice, and their choice was M. F.
Hickey and he was declared the nomi-
nee by the chairman, the convention
having already made his nomination
unanimous, and all the defeated can
didates including Geo. G. Stuart, stood
up in the presence Of that vast con-
course of people and gave their pledge
to abide by the decision Of that con
vention and support Mr.. Hickey, the
nominee. This convention, one of the
largest, most enthusiastic and repre-
sentative ones that ave- met in that
Court House, and composed, as it was
of our very best citizens, did nc wrong,
trampled upon no ones rights, were
guilty of no trickery. nc frauds, when
they nominated Mr.. Hickey and de-
feated Messrs. Stuart, Martin and Hill
bert.
And any nan or set men, claiming to
be loyal Republicans who makes the
charge of Bargain, Intrigue and Cor
ruption," against such honorable, in
fiuential Republicans as composed that
convention will find that they are but
ting their heads against a stone wall
and a mighty thick one at that; a wall
that will still be standing there after
the August election, while the heads
that did the butting-where will they
be?
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1894-05-23

In the recent Republican primary
for Sheriff George g. Stuart was the
first choice of 1852 voters ; M. F. Hickey
was the first choice of 1877 voters w.
K. Martin was the first choice of 6O3
voters and ]. s. Hilbert was the first
choice of forty two voters. AS the
law of the Republican party is now,
and has been from time unremembered,
a majority-not a plurality-of the
votes cast is required to make a nomi-
nation, and as none of the above can
didates had received a majority of the
votes cast, 1t was necessary to take an
other ballot in order to find out the
second choice of the people and the
only way that it was possible to do
this was to refer the matter to a con-
vention of delegates chosen just two
days before, and thus fresh from the
people supposed to know whom their
second choice was. Counting that each
ueiegate represented twenty i've voters
M. F. Hickey was the choice of some
thing over LOO voters on the second
ballot as expressed by their delegates ;
G. G.. Stuart was the choice of some-
thing over 475 voters on the second
ballot as expressed by their delegates /;
w. K. Martin was the choice of some-
thing over 400 voters as expressed by
their delegates on the second ballot.
Mr.. Hickey's nomination was perfectly
fair and regular. He received it at
the hands of the convention just like
Mr.. Stuart or Mr.. Martin or Mr.. Hill
bert would have received it, had the
convention nominated either one of
these instead of himself.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Snodgrass Man Attempts to XIII a
Frazier Man.

CHATTANOOGA, May ia bloody
tragedy was an incident of the Con-
gressional Convention held at Cleve
land. As tbs Q O'Clock train, filled
with delegates, vas on the point OF
leaving for Chattanooga, DR.. Albert p.
Griffith q Frazier delegate from Jasper,
was fatally shot in the left breast by
w. L. Stickley, another delegate and
Snodgrass man, from Bon Air mines.
Griffith was drunk, and the two first
quarreled last night over q game OF
pool, when Stickley, whohad sworn to
kill the Marion County man, approach
ed him this morning q row ensued.
Griffith attempted to throw his antag-
onist between the car seats when Stick
lev placed a pistol to Grifith's left
breast and fred.
Another report is current as to the
trouble between doc" Griffith and w.
L. Stickley yesterday. At the time of
the shooting all attempts to ascertain
the cause of the trouble were futile, as
the delegates refused to talk, even to
each other.
It 10 known that some Snodgrass men
threatened to kill any Frazier man who
interfered with them, and Mr.. Snod-
grass himself was heard to say that the
men he brought from over the noun
tains would kill some one.
At the time Of Stickley's arrest H. G.
Snodgrass offered to go his bond for
$4,000, saying that he would fightit out
II 1t took a year. 1t is alleged that po-
litical differences caused the trouble.
At five o'clock yesterday afternoon ].
l.. Debrem and d. L. Smith signed the
prisoners bond for 5000 and he was
released, he and his friends coming to
Chattanooga last night. Griffith was
brought down from Cleveland this
morning and taken to his home at Jas
per this afternoon, accompanied by his
father and several friends, among
whom was Jeptha Bright.
His wound is not necessarily fatal
though he will hardly live.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1894-05-23


There seems to be some misunder-
standing, either persistive or otherwise
among all classes and conditions of the
people in regard to pluralities and
majorities. A plurality is defined as
"a number greater than any other, but
less than half the aggregate" while a
majority, we all know, is more than
half the number whether applied to
votes or anything else.
In the Democratic party it has been
the law-the custom for at least fifty
years for a candidate to receive q two
thirds vote of any convention before
he can become the nominee of his
party, while in the Republican party
a candidate is required to receive only
a majority vote of q convention in
order to be the candidate of his party.
The recent Republican primary and
County Convention was ordered by the
members of the County Executive Com.
mittee, the regular constituted author
tiles of the party, for the purpose of
nominating a full ticket for county Of
ficers including a candidate for the
Legislature.
And in order that the utmost fairness
might DO had and that everything
might be clearly understood by every
body from beginning to end, and that
there might be no possible chance or
excuse on the part of any candidate or
any of his friends for complaint after
wards, a letter of inquiry was address
ed 10 each and every candidate by Sec
rotary Brading, asking the said candi-
date which he would prefer, a primary
election or u convention.
The candidates, eighteen in number
for the six Offices to be filled, all re.
sponded 80 far as we know, either by
letter or in person, so that we can, and
must conclude that everything done in
that committee meeting was fair,
square and open, nothing in a corner.
The candidates we're all there, or at
least all had a chance to be there; their
friends were there, and SO far as we
know, all had a chance to offer n
suggestions they may have deemed best
for themselves, their favorites or the
good of the party.
Our County Executive Committee il
must also be borne in mind is COM.
posed Of the very best and most intel.
ligent, most ardent and loyal workers
in the party, each civil district in the
county is represented in this committee
according to party strength.
This committee, after having given
due notice as to the time and place of
the meeting, met at the Court House
in J%onesboro, and after q full and free
interchange of opinion, and>a full dis.
cussion Of the matter, decided to hold
q primary election throughout the
county just as set forth in the call pub
lished in the Herald and Tribune at
that time, and since. The committee
with all the light before them, and
having used every possible endeavor to
get at what the people seemed to de-
sire, decided that q majority Of all the
