Charlibton, Sept. 22 The day has
passed quietly, the streets presenting
an unnsoal scene of activity. t The
ehief subjeot of conversation was the
preposteroos prediction of Wiggins,; of
a new ; earthquake the 25th. This
undoubtedly has caused alarm and
requires 'prompt contradiction; as the
nerves of the people are overstrained
already. The relief committee reports
750 applications for repairs to houses,
in sums as high as $ ,0Q0. It is ex
peeted that the; work of reparation
through ( the means furnished by (the
ommittee will begin actively in a ftw
days. The subsistence committee 'has
reduoed its force, as the number of per

At 12 o'clock the convention as

a small body, about two-tniras of its
members being white. Same well known
republican veterans were of the num
ber. The body was called to order by
J. C. L Harris, Eq , Mr. F. M. Sor
rell acting as secretary. He appointed
a o:mmittee on credentials. Ho was a
member of this committee and with the
other members composing it at once re

and the spectators chatted. In fifteen
minutes the committee returned and re

lowed the entire State. A committee

CHAIRMAN BOYD 8 SP1X0H.
On motion tof Msj. M. A Bledsoe,
the report was adopted. Chairman Boyd
took his position and was introduced by
the temporary chairman. He returned
his thaoks, saying the convention was
composed of the honest and true repub
licans. Heretofore there had been in
terests to subserve, selfish interests, but
. a m .
now this was not so, lor there was no
publio patronage to be distributed. He
said that the republican party was a
party for the Union, a fact in which
democrats and republicans should alike
rej ;ice. He said that it was the party
of a free ballot and a fair count. If
that had been the rule heretofore a mug
wump President would not now be in
the White House. He spoke of the at
tempt of certain republicans in the btate
to disrupt the party. These traitors are
led by Dr. Mott, ex-chairman of the
executive committee, fie said that Mott
in his card had said the harshest things
about the d ni Derate and that the demo
cratic preen had not denied his ao
cusa Lions and slanders. He said that
dcmoorals had claimed that when the
republican party went out of office
it would ceso to exist, but said these
people would find that the republican
Sarty had plenty of life. He said the
emocratic party was one of promisee
before the election and of failure to keep
those premises after the election. He
said that no relief had come. Instead of
red-legged republican grasshoppers,
there were democratic blue-bottles, to
disturb the people. All they have
done is to put in democrats in the plaoes
of the modest republicans. He said that
congressmen were at work around the
treasury department seeking plaoes for
their relatives, partners and henchmen
He said that while district attorney his
heart had melted at the 1 persecution of
the people for violations of the revenue
laws, but that the democrats had sinoe
they came in far exceeded in harshness
anything' done by the republicans
He said that now the inter
nal revenue laws weie not
distasteful to the average demo
cratic politician. He spoke of civil ser
vice and said that the democrats didn't
want any civil service ; all they wanted
was office. He spoke of the failure of
the North Carolina congressmen to do
anything whatever towards repealin
the internal revenue. His people ha
voted for democratic congressmen in the
hope and belief that the latter would
keep their promises and abolish the in
ternal revenue system'. He attacked the
democrats for their fiasco in failing to
pass the Blair bill, which their orators
had promised should be passed. He said
the democratie committee had strangled
the bill. He went on again to speak of
the dissensions among republicans in the
state. He eaid the late executive com
mittee by refusing to call a convention
had exceeded its authority. He said the
republicans were holding together as
solidly aa in lso4, and many demo
crats were coming in. No one
heard of republicans leaving their party,
while from the ; democratie party there
were many bolters. The democratic
party wad. he declared, the party of
greed and hunger, lie spoke of rings
and Baid that a ring of three men had
held the liberties of the republican
party. He Baid that Mott elaimed that
Wheeler and Keogh had leased him the
. a-
republican party in North Carolina and
that he did not intend to give up his
lease. "We will show him whether he
will or not," said Mr. Boyd. He went
on to claim that the republican party
was the party of the laboring man. He
spoke of oonviot labor, and said the pen
itentiary was nlled with "unfortunate
victims to democratic courts," as Dr
Mott said in his address. He charged the
the Btate bad given a railway labor
ireo, wnen is snouia nave received a
dollar a day per man. He spoke of
what he termed democratic extravagance,
ana saia mat since tne aemoerats came
in the cost of collecting the internal
revenue in this State was more than
a . . . ii . i
aoubie wnet it aaa Deen ror years
and years under republican rule He
said the democratic party was many
faoed and did not have the confidence of
the people. . He said the intelligent
people did not uxe a mugwump presv
dent, nut wan tea a mau ox some pro
WW m 1 .
nounoed views, ne spoke or the ool-
ored vote, saying it should be intelli
gent. He did not wish the colored
voters to support the republican party
because it was the republican party, but
to vote as American citizens, but always
to remember that the republican party
had saved the negro and elevated the
white free laborer.
OOMMITTEXS.
Mr. J. C. L Ha-ria made a motion
for the appointment of a committee of
nine upon resolutions by the chair.
This was adopted. The ohair appointed
the following : J. 11. Harris, Victor
Dookery, John S. Dancy, H. J. Cham
bers, J. H. Hardin, Tweed, W- C.
Smith, Lloyd and J. H. Young.
Upon Mr. Harris motion a commit
tee of nine was also raised, to prepare
a plan of organization,- as follows : J.
D. White, Brady, Jenkins, Staunton,
J. H Harris, Molver, Hunt, William
son and 8. P. Cook.
TALK ABOUT JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.
A motion was made by Mr. Candler,
of Buncombe, for the appointment of a
oommittee of twelve to consider the
matter of the selection of candidates for
justioes of the supreme court , and for
judges of the superior court. Jtlfn
C. Dancy said the report of the
oommittee on resolutions should first
voice its ideas in the matter. Later, too,
there would be more delegates present.
John S. Leary said, that there was some
doubt whether it was best to make suoh
nominations. John H. Williamson said
it was best to decide whether suoh nomi
nations were to be ma-ie or not.
Maj. Bledsoe said the vote on the raising
the oommittee would settle the question
as to the election of a tioket for the su
preme oourt and superior courts. John
o. Leary did not like this matter to
be left to the oommittee, to have mat
ters cut and dried. He favored indi
vidual action. James H. Harris thought
this question now premature, but fa
vored the raising of - the oommit
tee on Mr. Candler s motion. R
M. Douglas moved as an amend
ment that the committee should first
decade and recommend whether nomi
nations for justioes and judges Bhould
be ; made, and if thought advisable,
recommend names. Maj. Bledsoe
said he wished to settle the matter
and therefore moved that a full judicial
ticket be put in the field. Mr. Douglas
said the matter hinged upon the willing
ness of gentlemen to accept judicial
nominations. If the oommittee's report
was not thought proper the convention
oohld refuse to accept it. Msj. Bledsoe
said there were enough republican mem
bers of ne bar from whicL to make up
a ticket; men equal in all respects to
the democrat io nominees. Mr. Douglas
Baid there had been some correspondence
with oertam gentlemen in regard to
their willingness to serve as judges,
and this would appear later. Finally
Mr Douglas amendment, to leave to
the committee the power to decide and
recommend whether nominations should
be made and also the power to recommend
names of suitable persons was adopted
The ohairman appointed the following as
the oommittee of twelve, one from each
judicial district : Wassom, Strayhorn,
Patriok, Bledsoe, Leary, Lakey, Dancy,
Heap, Jenkins, Lloyd, H. C. Davis.
At 2 o clock the convention took a
recess of an hour.
At 3 30 the convention re-assembled
Jesse F. Hoskins made a speech, eulo
gising the republican party James H
Harris made a similar specoh. Mr. J
C. L. Harris, chairman of the oommittee
On platform, reported as follows:
THI PIATTOn.
Resolved, 1. That we renew our allegi
anoe to the republican party and reaffirm
Our faith in the patriotism of its prinoi
ties and declare
2. That we oppose tne aemoorauo
policy of employing convict labor where
ever it comes into competition with frge
labor, and we declare that the result
Of this policy is to degrade labor, re--
duee waires and throw honest workmen
out of employment.
3 That we are heartily in favor of tne
Blair educational bill and denounee
the democratic House of Representa
tives for their failure to pass the same,
said bill having been twice passed by a
republican Senate
4. That we are in favor ot protection;
. m ...
firstly, because we regard it as the least
burdensome and most convenient means
of raising the funds wherewith to de
fray the expenses of the government.
and, secondly, because we would will
ingly extend protection, pure and
simple, to every species of home manu
facture, thereby encouraging nome in
dustry, stimulating the circulation ot
oapital, increasing the capacity for th
employment of skilled labor and as
ojnsequenee, oreating so much greater
demand in our own markets for the
products of the field. We also favor the
repeal of the internal revenue system
5. That we oondemn the democratic
party as a party of broken promises
beoause it has utterly failed to redeem
any one of its numerous pledges.
6 That we oppose the present system
of keeping up the publio roads, and de
mand that the road laws shall ne
amended so as to bear equally upon
property and labor.
7. That we oppose tne present system
of oounty government, as unrepublioan,
- . . - .1 - 1 A J
unfair, ana suDversive oi tne ngnra oi
the people, and therefore demand its
repeal. "
. . .a M . 1 1 .a
9. That the action oi tne aemocratic
party through the legislature in passing'
upon the people without consulting the
HWB auu ClUUrvlUg uio uv-ivuw bjbwiu
people at the baiiot-oox upon tne over
throw of a oustom which has exiBted,
from the first settlement of this ooun
try, is undemocratic, anti-republican,
and no suoh radioal ohange should be
made in the customs of the people with
out first obtaining their assent at the
ballot-box.
9. That the action of the repub
lican State oommittee the 10th
of August last, in failing to call a State
convention, and their oontinued refusal
to do so, was in violation of the plan
of organization, and by such action the
naid Stale oommittee ceased to exist,
and is no longer the offieial head of the
republican party of North Carolina.
10. That we demand a free ballot and
a fair count.
11. That we cordially invite all citi
zens, without regard to former politioal
tffiliations, who favor the principles
herein f et forth, to join with us in our
i ffortB to enforce the same in the admin
istration of State and national affairs
THI JUDICIAL NOMINEES.
Maj. M. A. Bledsoe, as chairman of
the oommittee on the judicial tioket,
made a report, as follows :
. .rf ; . m m .
w e report in uvor ot nominating a
full judicial ticket and recommend the
following gentlemen as the republican
candidates for the judioiary : i Supreme
oourt, chief justioe, W. P. Bynum; as

Devereuz; sixth, D. M. Furches;
eighth,; W. 8. O'B. Robinson; ninth, A.
& Ho lion; tenth, Marsh (of Yancey
oounty) ; twelfth, Perry A Cumming.
The oommittee further reoommends that
the republicans of the State vote for
these gentlemen whether they accept the
nomination or not.
Gen. John C. Gorman moved the
adoption of the report. John S. Leary
stated . that he opposed the nomination
of supreme court judges and as a mem
ber of .the oommittee had not signed the
reportj and as to those judges entered
his dissent. The report of the commit
tee was adopted, Leary alone voting
against it.
The oommittee on plan of organiza
tion made its report, which makes some
changes, of no special importance save
as to ; oounty representation. On this
there was some debate. Some op
posed any tampering2; with the plat
form.. Mr. Douglas explained the
ohange, saying that it was to allow all
republicans attending a oounty conven
tion to have a vote. He said that the
townships very often failed to choose
delegates or attend. The amendment
was therefore to make all oOunty con
ventions mass conventions. Wassom
moved to table tha amendments to the
plan." This was lost and the commit
tee s report was adopted.
Uen. Gorman offered an amendment
that no executive oommittee should ever
hold office more than two years. James
H. Harris said the present plan of or
ganization covered this matter. Mr. J.
. h Harris made some remarks upon
the failure of the State committee to call
a convention. He offered a resolution
in place of that of Gen. Gorman, pro
viding that the committee shall call
biwCQial conventions at least sixty days
before an election. Mr. Bledsoe at-
taofcled Dr. Mott and hie late executive
oommittee, charging it with quibbling
and assuming rights and powers it
did not have- There ras some debate,
but Mr. Harris' amend nent was adopted.
A. motion to increase the number ot del
egates at large from two to five was
made There was a lively debate; J.
C. L. Harris said the old oommittee had
eleven members and that six met
here, five refusing to hold a con
vention. He wanted a bigger com
mittee, to widen the iiflaenoe of the
oommittee and require a larger body to
constitute a majority T N. Cooper
was opposed to a change, saying the
oommittee would be an unwieldy
bod v. The motion to increase the num
ber was carried. There were to be ten
delegates chosen by the various con
gressional districts and five from the
State at large. The following were
chosen as the committee:
1st district, C. C. Pool; 2d district,
HrE. Davis; 3d distriot, G. C. Sour-

to fill the vacanoy.

thorized to appoint congressional and

The convention was characterized by
good order. The delegates were mainly
from the oounties west of Raleigh.
Few were from the east. A bout two-
thirds were white. Chairman "Loge"
Harris: was of course very prominent
and worked hard. He is one of the
leaders in the anti-Mott faction. T. N.
Cooper is now a regular western man.
Ha has moved from Iredell county to
Transylvania and lives at Brevard.
There, was a good deal of log-rolling all
during the session.
