gressional primary on September S,
DR.. Ragsdale reported tie vote, and
Chairman PEBBLES again assumed the
chair. He held that there had been
no election.
1t looked very much at this time
like split or bolt and two conven-
lions, but Chairman PEBBLES recog-
nized what was apparent to every
lone, that his crowd was badly out
numbered, and he called w. G.. Whit
thorne, Of the opposition, to the chair.
A count was speedily taken with the
result stated.
After Judge Gordon had been es-
corted to the chair and thanked the
convention, Mr.. PEBBLES moved that
every democrat mi the county be
made delegate to the Nashville con-
ventions, that they be instructed to
vote as unit, and that they be in
'structed for Thos. C. Rye for COVER
nor and for Judge Robert Burrow for
supreme justice. The motion pre-
vailed and then Judge Gordon was
unanimously elected chairman of the
delegation. .
When the row first started in the
convention the two representatives of
the press present, thinking that there
might be a split, counted the crowd,
with the result that 10 were lined
up for Gordon and eighty for Pee
bles. The final ballot did not mate
rally change this result.
One of the features of the conven-
ton was a ringing appeal for demo
cratic harmony and for closer affilia-
ton with all democrats who desired
success from w. J. Webster. He was
loudly applauded when he said that If
every man who voted for Hooper was
kicked out of the party councils there
would be no use naming a delegation
at all or making any nomination. AS
for him he wanted all the democratic
votes he Guild get.
While it was clear that many OF
his followers were disappointed and
wanted split delegation and a row
in the ranks, Chairman PEBBLES

Th0maS q. Rye won clean cut,
straightout victory in the democratic
convention of Maury county held at
the court house at noon. After the
candidate Of the anti-Rye forces,
Chairman PEBBLES, had been defeated
for chairman of the convention by a
vote Of III to seventy-three, by Judge
w. o. Gordon, the candidate of the
Rye people, a motion was unanimous
ly passed instructing the delegation
for Rye.
Every democrat from Maury county
who attends the convention Is made
a delegate to the state democratic
convention and they are instructed
to vote as unit upon all questions
and to vote for Thos. c. Rye for gov
ernor and Judge Robert Burrow for
Judge Of the supreme court. The con-
vention elected Judge w. O. Gordon
chairman of the Nashville delegation.
The convention was a stormy af-
fair and it looked like there would
be a split and two conventions held.
| There were many of the PEBBLES fol-
lowers, representing the old unrecon-
structed element of the regulars, who
are opposed to having anything to do
with the independent democrats, who
were inclined to arbitrarily take
charge Of the meeting without regard
to the merits Of the controversy. But
to the credit of Chairman PEBBLES,
who called the meeting to order and
presided until the election Of Judge
Gordon as chairman, these methods
would not be countenanced and fair
count, under the direction of DR..
Ragsdale, for the PEBBLES faction, and
Mayor English, of Mt Pleasant, for
the Rye forces, was held with the re-
suit as above stated.
1t was straightout fight between
the Peebles-Towler faction, or the re
dictionaries of the party, and the re-
form element of the party led by w
c. Whitthorne and M. E. Alien, who
earnestly desire party rehabilitation
and triumph The latter scored al
though the old PEBBLES machine put
up game fight. Outside of the fifth
district, however, the great majority
of the party leaders were arrayed
against Chairman PEBBLES. The lat
ter was game in defeat and really &C
complished partial victory In his
motion to send all democrats as dele
gates While instructed for Rye, II
the Peoples crowd have majority
at Nashville they can vote against
party regeneration in the making OF
the platform. The Rye forces, after
winning a big victory, really lost a
cardinal point when they agreed to
send every one as delegate to the
state convention.
The convention was called to or.
der shortly after noon by Chairman
PEBBLES who stated its objects. 1t
was then that the fun commenced
both Judge Gordon and Chairman
PEBBLES being nominated for chair
man. Mr.. PEBBLES called DR.. Rags
dale to the chair and count was de
manded. However, after dispute
over the qualifications of the voters
participating in the convention had
been settled, when it was agreed to
