Alter the congressional committee,
headed by Albert Shipiey had ruled
that Congress sman Sells was entitled TO
only thirty delee ates in the convention
at GreeneviIle, Saturday, fully 1000
men wearing the white Sells badges,
stormed the convention hall, took
possession and proceeded to ignore the
committee slate, and made an organ
ization which finally resulted in Con-
gresham Sells nomination. The
Massey people endeavored To hold
sway over the convention by having
Col. Adam Bowman as chairman, but
the crowd did not listen to him, and
Dick. Donnelly of Mountain City was
elected temporary chairman by the
convention, and when Col. Bowman
persisted in rapping for order, while
Mr.. Donnelly was speaking, a fight de-
veloped over the possession of his gavel
and this In turn was followed by a
fight for the possession Of his walking
cane which he used after the gayel had
been taken away from him. In the
melee, Col. Bowman was hit over the
head with the gavel, deep cash which
bled profusely being cut, and at the
same time some one started to swing a
chair with the result tnat half dozen
men were knocked down, few guns
were drawn, and Messrs Shipley,
Swab, McMahm and other Massey
leaders hurridly left the building by a
rear door and locked themselves in the
Greenevile Sun office where they
thought they were free from pursuit.
Worsted in the tistic encounter the
Massey leaders wisely admitted that
might makes right and the Sells peo-
pie were allowed TO run the convention
without molestation for two hours,
during which regular organization
was gone into, all committees being
appointed, delegates selected and vot.
ed on by ballot and stirring campaign
speeches were heard.
The scenes of riot in the convention
hall beggered description, and it was
compared with the mob convention at
Nashville. The riot was brought on
by the fact that Albert Shipley and his
committee had planned, contrary to
the wishes of the people to steal the
nomination from Congressman Sells
aud the people throughout the district
were indignant. Bitter feeling had
been created during the campaign and
the first bitterness had been kindled
anew at the moo convention Of the
week previous and as result wher
the twelve or fifteen hundred Sells
people went TO Greeneville Saturday
they were there for the purpose of get
ting square deal for their candidate
When the major portion of the crowl
arrived, they discovered that the Ship
ley committee was in session passing
on the question of contest and thai
Sells was being given absolutely nt
consideration, and that it was th'
plan of Chairman Shipley to ISSUE
tickets bearing his name, which piec,
