When the break was made the counties
rapidly docked TO the winner. and before
the applause had subsidized the -nomina-
ton had been made unanimous and the
nominee was receiving the congratula-
tions Of his friends. and they were from
every delegation.
When the convention met this morning
there was no material change in the bal
lot. There were several short recesses,
during which the delegates conferred
good deal. At 1920 o'clock il was re-
ported quietly among those on the inside
that a nomination was about to be made,
and that Adamson would be the nominee.
When the convention was called to order
after the last recess, the 238th ballot was
taken. and il showed no ma
terial change except that Troupe
voted three for Adamson, and Mr.. Monroe
who had been "a supporter OF Dunham, in
which he changed the vote of Marion from
Durham to Moses. When the 239th ballot
was taken, and the name of Meriwether
county was called, Mr. Terrell. a brother
of the attorney general, a very eloquent
young man, made a strong speech in which
he said that Warner Hill was about TO be
defeated on account of his strength and
high ability that IL had been said that
Meriwether ought not to have the nomina-
ton because she wanted the earth. At the
end Of the speech Mr.. Hill was Withdrawn
and then the other candidates were taken
down to make way for Judge Adamson.
Judge Adamson was presented, and made
ringing speech of acceptance.
Warner Hin also made a speech and was
given an ovation

Brunswick. Ga. Aug. 2O.-The reception
accorded Hon. W. G. Brantley Of Glynn
last night at the opera house. an account
of which was published in to-day's Morn
ing News. was one of the most notable
Of any ever witnessed here in connec-
ton with politics.
The demonstration which greeted his
appearance before the audience was an
ovation seldom accorded by Brunswick
ians and lasted several minutes. Mr.
Brantley opened his remarks by refer
ring to the fact that for the first time In
the history of this city a resident CT
Brunswick appeared before a Brunswick
audience as a candidate for congressional
honors.
In dealing with the two platforms of
the democratic and republican parties the
speaker clearly demonstrated the falla-
ciousness Of the republican doctrine of
protection, class legislation, force bills,
etc, and in his remarks on the populist
question he declared that the movement
had brought division and contention
among men. on the financial question
Mr.. Brantley declared his Willingness to
defend the platform of the democratic
party and spoke at some length in re-
gard to il.
After concluding with the issues OF the
campaign Mr. Brantley took occasion TO
make some remarks Of a nature personal
to himself, and which fully answer several
criticisms which have been circulated by
some in this district.
In conclusion he said he was possessed
of an ambition, and that that ambition
was to see the people of our country, Of
every section Of our state and our part Of
the state, reunited and happy, harmonious
and prosperous, as they were in the days
of yorei and If he could be the means, in
some way, of contributing to that end, he
would esteem 1t a duty, and an ambition
worthy of any man.
To these expressed sentiments the aud
fence cheered the distinguished young
democrat to the echo, and at their conclu-
sion filed out of the hall fun of enthusiastic
resolutions to make his majority i'm this
contest worthy of the man and the cause
he is such an able exponent of.

Deadlock in the Fourth Broken By
the Choice of CarrOlIs FavOrite.
Columbus, Ga. Aug. 2O.-As predicted in
these dispatches last night, Judge Adam
son Of Carroll county was nominated at
Warm Springs at 1870 this morning, re-
ceiving twenty-four votes. or seven more
than were necessary to his nomination.
Judge Adamson had equity on his side.
being the first candidate to announce
against Moses, who seemed to have dead
cinch on the congressional job. After
Adamson had demonstrated that Moses
could be beaten other candidates flocked
in.
Judge Adamson is one of the foremost
democrats in the district. He is an old
campaigner. and will carry the district
by rousing majority in November. His
nomina tion gives entire satisfaction.
Mr.. w. c. Adamson, the successful can
didate, is a resident of Carrollton, Car
roll county. He is a lawyer of ability,
and has been judge Of the city court of
Carronton. He is an active democrat and
a good politician. There is no doubt that
he will make a very worthy successor
of Congressman Moses.
