Bitter Fight Over Brownlow Plan to Barr Evans Men in Nashville
In Nashville on April 18, Brownlow backs a ticketed, uncontested convention plan to bar Evans supporters from the state Republican gathering in the hall of the House of Representatives. Guards are posted, rival factions clash over tickets, and two conventions seem possible as credentials and county contests are debated. Evans backers threaten to organize outside or seek a second convention if treated unfairly. Brownlow allies push for a ticket system and hall control to name convention officers and credentials.
