animous without a count.
h.it was generally i ailed the Hnn
n'i c combination conttolled a huge
najoltv of the 81! elelegates, but It
did not exei(le Its power bcjnnel the

to 1'i.uk 1 lie slate, by changing the
l vote- of Hamilton countj. which he
had cast on the lltst two ballots for
Judge Hull, for attorney genera!, to
Jn ne M. Sheets. Judge Hull had
been genet ally considered as a sine
winner, as he had been slated. In

of the Held to combine against the
'slate" thete was npiinslilon to the
plan of an one being a candidate for
two places on the ticket, and Judge
Hull was again defeated after a, luud
light, which occupied more time than
any other business In the six limns
that the lomcntlon was In session.
The Slate Broken.
The only other place In which the
sl.To was btoken was in the nomln i
tlon for Supreme judge The incum
bent. Judge Bradbury, was a candidate

D Davis was nominated for Supreme

ful contestant foi tuasuiei of state,
was generally ci edited with being on
"the slate" and he secured the Ilanna

Outside of the untmially animated
contests for the nominations, the fea

didate said, among othet things, that
he hoped he would at least be, allowed
to live as a prlate citizen In the Re
publican ranks. Outside of these utter,
allies there weie today none of the
Bllngs that aie common at conventions
