 Five O'Clock Session
 When the delegates assembled again at o'clock F. s. White ard several others spoke against the adoption of the Altman resolution, and thereupon Mir. Altman with- drew It.
 MT. Bankhead moved to adopt the Mus grove resolution. White objected, saying that under this plan everybody would know how those casting the fractional votes had voted, and the secret ballot would in measure be done away with. Consid- erable duscussion followed, in which Lowe and Tanner wanted a straight out vive voee ballot. Johnston Bradley and Blackburn made good speeches for the secret ballot. The latter jumped on Tanner, saying that he had "hopped" from one side to the other in the last few hours. Lowe's viVe yoee amendment was lost, 19 to 12.
 The most exciting debate of the day then occurred on the passage of the original Musgrove resolution. White wanted the vote taken by delegations. The chair said this motion was out of order. White ap- pealed to the convention The chair was about to put the vote, when White demand ed that the vote on his appeal be taken by delegations. The chair said he wouldn't, and things began to look pretty squally. But Lowe did the oil-on-troubled-waters dct, ana there was peace. tlnally AiLfndn aSked unanimous consent to take the vote lty delegations. This was done and Wards and Miller's entire delegations, three Cole man delegates and 1.59 Banks delegates voted aye All the other Banks men and one Coleman man voted no. Another big -wrangle here occurred over an adjourn- ment. but it was decided to try the effects or few ballots under the new regime
 Balloting Under New Plan
 But the new regime. to all appearance, was failure. On it's first trial. the 52Sth ballot, the result were Banks 11.53. Coleman 449, Miller 7.s5 and Ward 1881, which was very nearly the same as the old stereotyped vote. After another big scrap the conven- ton adjourned at 7:30 to meet at S:S0 o'clock.
 The s:3O Session
 From the 529th to the 5S2nd ballot the results were practically the same, though on one or two ballots the hat was "stuff- ed, necessitating another attempt at those ballots.
 P. G. Bowman then entered a "dark horse" in the race by the nomination of L. C.. Dickey. Bowman said that he nominat- ed Dickey with solicitation on the lat ter's part, and that he trusted that he would prove a speedier animal than the other four, who had been trying in vain for 532 heats to win out.
 
 was obtained on the next ballot, when he received 5.43 votes. Voting for the night ceased on the 533d ballot, with the vote about as follows: Banks 964 Coleman 3.S1: Dickey 5.43; Miller 69i; and Ward 11S1. From this it appears that Dlcqey drew his strength from no particular one of the other candidates.
 After the inevitable fight for adjourn ment, further labors were postponed until 9.So CLOCK this morning. McGuire of Walker, wanted to adjourn sine die. and he had several supporters but his motion to that effect was lost
 As stated above several of the w iIker and Winston county delegates went home last night. All the others are tired to death, and while nobody pretends to know what will be done today they acknowledge they will have to leave the nomination to a second primary unless the stubborn spirit of the delegates is broken and n nomination is made by the convention. The great objection to another primary IS the heavy expense that would fall on the candidates, besides the stirring up of the people by another campaign,
