ovation, accepted the nomination.
In the main, the convention, which
was largely attended, was harmonious
throughout, though there was a lit

the liquor question to a vote OF the
Deople, The amendment was finally
voted down, the original platform be-
ing adopted. The temperance plank
reads as follows:
"The Democratic party has at all
times been the consistent friend OF
temperance reform in Tennessee and
other Southern States.
eve therefore declare that the tenn
perance question should not be an is
sue in a gubernatorial campaign.
''The great controlling issue in this
campaign is whether Tennessee shall
be turned over to boss-ruled Re-
publican machine il a bargain by
which the public Offices of the State
are sought to be treated as merchan-
disc for barter and sale between poll
ticians and party bosses. The repu-
diation of this humiliating attempt to
barter away the honor of the State is
the first duty of every patriotic Ten
nessean."
The platform is mainly devoted to
State affairs.
It is understood headquarters will
be opened at once. Senator Taylor
will take the stump within the week.

Constructive Recess.

At 1890 a. N. a recess of 20 min
utes was declared by the chairman.
Scarcely any one left the hall. The
melee was at it's height and the an
nouncement of recess had little ef-
feet upon the delegates, who were
pounding one another about the press
box. The newspaper men were driven
from their section. The officers ex-
perienced difficulty in separating the
combatants and reserves were called
in.
The announcement of the second
ballot, which was taken very slowly
under the Australian system of vot-
ing, showed that Congressman Eu-
gene N. Foss had a lead, notwith-
standing supporters of Charles H.
Hamlin had done their best after the
first ballot to throw their strength to
James H. Vahey.
