Ninth District Puzzle Stalemate Hints at Third Candidate
The convention stalls over two thirds votes for each candidate with Bell and Hill factions claiming majority support. Reports cite Clarke and others tallying Democratic votes, Hall counties yielding three of the required three delegations, suggesting McMillan’s weak lead outside solid Bell counties. If Monday or Tuesday yields no break, a third candidate may be proposed as standard practice dictates. Reminiscences cover the Provisional Congress with Rhett and Conrad amid prayer controversy as Kane and Dabney note shifting allegiances. A Cincinnati dispatch notes Bard’s replacement negotiations and Williams leads in Kentucky for governor with 700 delegates polling and a 1,365 delegate body in total.
