Lowell again. Dolph's vote fell to SO, |
by reason of the temporary absence of
Beach from the room. On the 50th, |
Keyt returned to Fulton.
It was the 53d ballot before any change
of front was offered by the opposition,
and Alley named Tongue. They could
not, however, carry Brownell, who voted
for George Mcbride; Davis, who re-
turned to Lowell; Keyt, who also voted
Moores, who had been voting for Tongue,
this gave Tongue 81, Hobson still voting
for Waldo. On the 54th ballot, Hobson
went to Mcbride, and Davis changed to
Tongue. On the 55th ballot, Lyle voted
for Judge Thomas Mcbride, but changed
after the roll call back to Tongue again.
The 56th and 57th ballots showed no
change except that Beach was again
absent.
The 57th ballot was taken at 10 80.
Dolph's vote was SO and Tongues 50.
OF the opposition republicans Brownell
and Hobson were voting for Mcbride,
and Senator Patterson for Lord. On
the 58th ballot Alley named Lord, and
Baker made a speech lauding him.
Bakers speech fell fiat, and when Blum
dell, following, said he had been voting
for an honorable man all the time, ]. N.
Dolph, there was much applause and
laughter. Carter and Cogswell were
paired for this vote. On this change the
opposition saved one vote, that of Patter-
HoI eo,
Lord, but could poll only 80 for Lord.
Of their other five, Brownell, Hobson
and Mintie voted for Mcbride and Yates
and Speaker Moores for Tongue.
On the seth ballot Gowdy and Keyt
were paired. Yetes went from Tongue
to Lord. At this point box of oranges,
sent by Senator Dolph, was brought into
the center of the hall, and the members
near soon had it emptied by throwing
oranges about the room. Peals of
laughter greeted the nimble actions of
staid senators and tried representatives
as Dolph and ansi-Dolph grabbed for fly
ing fruit or lodged to escapeit. Another
box, on its way in, was siezed upon by a
dozen stout hands, broken in an instant
and its contents scattered about in a
twinkling. A recess of five minutes was
taken, and while the oranges were being
consumed the president and speaker
busted themselves with signing bills.
When the convention was again called
to order Representative Cleeton secured
the floor, and in eulogy of George w
Mcbride placed him in nomination, say.
