HATCHET AND GUNS IN CONVENTION RIOT

Nashville, Tenn., Mar. 26.—The Republican state convention for the purpose of selecting presidential electors, delegates for the state at large to the Chicago convention, was called to order Wednesday at the state capitoi. For the space of nearly an hour after the body had been called to order, a battle royal waged. It was a fight in which hundreds participated from time to time —a genuine rough and tumble affair precipitated by the efforts of the Evans-Hale delegates of Tennessee Republicans to take charge of the rostrum already held by the Oliver-Aua-tin-Brownlow wing. The Oliver hosts, who had come in on a special train from East Tennessee, marched straight to the hall of the house of representatives and filled the big auditorium early. Oliver Men Hold Sway. They had a key to the hall and marched in on the five unsuspecting Evans-Hale guards and took the room. They kept It and held it straight through the hour for the convention and when the Evans-Hale delegates walked into the room the Oliver men were in the saddle. It was on the advent of the Evans cohorts that the trouble started, and for an hour pandemonium reigned. During the trouble more than a dozen fist fights occurred, and in several instances pistols were drawn.

One Draws a Hatchet. One man produced a hatchet which he was preparing to wield when Intercepted. A negro delegate was knocked down by a white man. Both were arrested and hustled off to the police station. Newell Sanders, chairman of the state committee, an ardent Evans man, was almost choked into insensibility by a member of the Brownlow faction.
