FIRST BALLOT.
SNORT TERM
Wanted by the Carroll Delegation for John
III. FimpIe.

Wanted by the Carroll Delegation for John
III. Fimpie.
That Carroll county has occupied the
position of holding the key to the sit
uation is evidenced by the overtures
that have come to the delegation both
from Jefferson and Belmont counties.
If Fimple with his 10 votes should go
to either Gill or Weems it would count
for much, although it would not nomi-
nate without assistance from other
sources. 1t would make Weems an
even so. which is still 4 short. If
the entire vote Of Carroll, 81 votes,
were swung to the Belmont man it
would fetch it up to 50. and two from
Monroe would do the rest. There is
a big If, = however, in these calcula-
tons. For time yesterday, though.
1t. looked as though this might be
done. 1t as claimed by the Weem's
people that Carroll would give its 10
votes when some other county would
furnish the other 4, but there's the rub.
Where were the to come from? No
one looks to Harrison for anything;
Jefferson has her own candidate and
apparently has Monroe completely tied
up. On the other hand the Gill people
say the Fimple delegation will never
go solidly for Weems. That when it
breaks Gill will get his share, and it
certainly does look as though Fimple
may not be able to vote them solidly
when they leave him.
In all this fog and mist comes a
proposition from Fimple to Belmont.
Do1~~ i
nation he will not be candidate next
fall, but viii use his influence for
Weems. This, it is understood, was
spurned by the Belmont leaders. Car
roll is hardly big enough to secure
such reciprocity, although some such
decker might be successfully worked

A comparison of the first and last
ballots of the convention indicate little
progress in the two days work. The
standing of all the candidates may be
considered identical, the difference in
the totals in the ballots below being
