Wayne County Bolts Campb ell Nominates Barnard at Shelbyville
Wayne County repudiated Rev J O Campbell and boosted W O Barnard to the Sixth district Congress nomination at Shelbyville.

Wayne’s last ballot would have given Campbell eight votes and Davidson withdrew to yield a unanimous choice. Richmond Palladium notes censure for the bolt and distrust of Wayne’s future influence.
