This was Mr.. Tylers high water mark
and at this point the excitement and
confusion grew 80 great the balloting
was matter OF extreme difficulty. The
young men endeavored to stampede the
convention for their man, and the
friends of Mr.. Tyler were equally vigo-
rou sin their efforts to do the same
thing.
The next. or seventh ballot, marked
ihe crisis Indeed. close study OF the
vote thereafter will reveal that it was
here that the earth slippel from under
MI Tyler. He never regained it, Then
there was general break up which
started the Bryant boom SO nearly fatal
TO the hopes OF Mr. Young's staunch
followers. The ballot was as follows,
with Jones. out: Charles City, Tyler,

Then. in the midst of a small pan
| demonium. and before the adherents of
Mr.. Tyler could so much as ask the
meaning of this sudden slump. the
friends of DR.. Bryant caught the crest
OF the wave from which Mr.. Tyler had
been precipitated and placed their man
upon 1t. originating what was decidedly
| the cleverest movement of the conven-
| tion. He was renominated with CHI ers.
while two enthusiastic political rooters
were engaged I'm 4 lively row on the
outside. and divided the attention of
the meeting for ten minutes.
When balloting was resumed it was
| ten minutes after o'clock. The eighth
