OF the best Democrats in this Com

desire to present to this convention
the name of the Hon. w. H. Swee-
neJ, of Marion county"
Chairman Johnston ordered a
call of the counties, but many Har-
din delegates, late getting into the
hall, protested against it until they
could be seated. Maj. Johnston
again ordered the call peremptorily,
and it was begun, with nearly ev-
cry Hardin delegate on his feet
shouting vociferiously for Sweeney.
II was not long after II o'clock
when the balloting began, the con-
vention in this respect breaking the
record of promptness, and the bal
lot had not preceded far before it
became evident that all records
were also to be broken in the length
of time consumed in taking it.

And Then the Fun Commenced.

On call OF the contested counties
that had been passed during the
roll-call the "rougb-house" time of
the convention began. There was
but little discussion over the con-
test in Ballard, the eight votes
being given to Capt. Sweeney, as
they were in the settlement of the
Galloway county contest. In Bull
lit Redwine got four and Sweeney
two votes, and in Caldwell the
eight votes were divided between
them. 1t looked for some time as if
the one vote of Jackson county was
to go uncast, but finally lone del.
egate strayed IN and cast it for
Sweeney.
In the county of DavIess the
nineteen votes were given to Red
wine, the regular credentials be-
ing recognized. This was the first
thing to come the way of the anti
Hardin men in the settlement of the
contests, and they loudly applaud
ed the action of the chair.

bolted and had a convention of their
