sembly since Wednesday over the
selection of a United States Senator
for the unexpired term oi
the late A. C. Latimer, was fin
ally broken at 2 :30 this afternoon,
when on the fourth ballot
taken today ex-Speaker of the
House Frank B. Gary, of A.bbeville,
who had ledj the race all
the way thiough and who had
twice been within eight votes of
a majority, wentjin with 79 votes,
a bare majority of two, 78 beiug
necessary to a choice as the vote
then stood. This was the eighteenth
joint ballot since the two
houses balloted separately on
Tuesday night.
The race had been an exceed
ingly interesting one throughout,
and as it was the first experience
of the kind the State has experienced
in many years, United
States Senators being elected by
popular vote for more than a
decade in this State, great interest
was taken in the contest
throughout the State, and visitors
thronged the galleries and
aisles of the House where the
voting was done morning, noon
and night. But though between
sessions attempt has been made
in log-rolling to break the Gary
forces, and dark horse after dark
horse has been run in in the
voting, the Gary forces have
been able to maintain their battle
lines practically unaffected,
Mr. Gary never running below
60 votes at any- time, while the
highest reached by anyyival was
44, although half a dozen have
been able to make interesting

Ex Governor John O. Sheppard,
of Edgefield, who was at
4 the head of the straightout ticket
against Tillman in the memorable
and historic campaign of 1892,
was rnn in today, and for a time
things looked squally for the
Gary people. Mr. oheppard's
friends ran him in on the second
ballot taken today. He received
15 votes on this ballot and went
up to 34 on the next, bot he was
dropped altogether on the final
ballot. President of the Senate
T. G, McLeod was the closest
rival to Mr. Gary on the fiual
ballot, receiving 32 votes.
Senator Clifton nominated Con
grebsman A. F. Lever in the se
cond ballot, but members of his
delegation and other friends protested
that he desired not to ho
"mixed up in this scramble."
However, others in the house insisted
on his staying in, and after
the second Mr. Wingard, of
his home delegation, said that
though he had a 'phone message
from Mr. Lever saying that he
particularly did not desire to be
voted for his friends had decided
to asked for ;support for him?
with the result above sot forth.
In justice to Mr. Lever, however,
it should be stated that his friends
generally refrained from voting
for him.
r Mr. Gary comes from what
was scornfully referred to in the
Tillman political upheaval ol
i
THE LA
1890 from the "plntocratio Mg
class," his kinsmen on all sides M
being prominent in the affairs of M
> State before, during and just af- m
i ter the oivil war; but Mr. Gary v
i himself early in his career was ^
identified with the Tillman ele- f
) ment, being an ardent State dis- fk
pensary man, and all that sort of M

ily of born politicians. He is W
t personally a very attractive man, Q
and the manner in which he has A
presided oyer the House has at- M
tracted many votes to him. M

bury, Abbeville county, March W
9th, I860. His early education ^
was gained in the old Ookesbury A
t Methodist Conference School, M
after which he graduated from W
