City gave Young and Tyler the only
one he got on the last ballot. Isle of
Wight stuck to the previous ballot.
James City transferred her two votes to
the Norfolk man. Nansemond gave all

Norfolk county gave Young Is and Bry
ant s. Portsmouth stuck out TO for
Young and II for Bryant. Princess

trast to the pandemonium of a minute
before. and the pandemonium that was
70 follow a minute later The secretary
announced the vote as follows: Young,
9Sla; Bryant. SAY Tyler ].
The chair announced that William A.
Young was the choice OF the convention
of the Second District, but ii was useless
10 announce the fact as every one knew
it. and was demonstrating the fact by
a display of extraordinary enthusiasm
that bafiied description. and can only
be partly conceived by those who were
present.
