will go to the voters in the general

claim to the Democratic nomination.
In the recent primary Tribble receiv
ed a popular majority of more than
Cnn votes and on the face of the re
turns 1 ad a majority of four votes tn
the convention, under the county
unit system. The district executive
committee, because ol' alleged irreg
ularities in Elbert county, threw out
in votes, thus changing a Tribble ma
jority of four votes in Elbert county
to a majority of eight for Howard,
and giving the latter the convention
vote. The Elbert county executive
committee disregarded the district
commit (ca* action and named Tribble
delegates to tho convention. How
ard delegates were ?r.so named by
the district committee.
To-day the convention met to can
vass the vote and declare the nomi
nee. Tribble friends took posses
sion of the convention and, amid the
wildest confusion, nominated Trib
ble, who accepted in n brief speech.
Then Tribble's followers loft the hall,
and after a call of the counties show
ed Howard to have a majority ol'
four votes, he was formally declared
the Democratic nominee. He, roo,
delivered a short 'speech of accept
ance and the convention was ad
journed.
The campaign is bound to In*
