The People's Party held a convention
at Halifax on Monday and was called to
order by C. P. Simmons, who had liecn
appointed provisional chairman of the
Executive Committee. Mr. Simmons
nominated Capt. K. A. Tliorne for tem
porary chairman,' and Y. K. Harvey
emporary secretary.
Capt. Tliorne explained the object of
the mcetini'to be to elect delegates to the
Congressional convention aud it presi
dential elector and advised harmony.
He then announced the next business to
be the appointment of committees on
credentials aud permanent orgauizatiou.
The roil of townships was called and each
named a member of the committee on
credentials which was constituted as fol
lows : Brinkleyville, J 11 Shearin;
Butterwood, II N Clark; Conoconaia,
J A Pope; Enfield, C A Camp; Faueetts,
J J Goodwyn; Halifax, Geo. Skinner;
Littleton, V M Martin; Palmyra, W.
T. Kufiin; Roseneath, J C Hass; Scotland
Neck, J A White; Weldon, C I) Hem
mings.
On motion of II J Ilewlin the tempo
rary ergauizaliou was made permanent.
While the committee was preparing its
report the reporter had leisuro to look
over the convention. There were about
oue hundred present and all of them
seemed in earnest about the business
which had brought theui together. There
was no excitement; in fact do emotion
could be observed save a grim determina
tion to proceed aud succeed, if possible,
upon the lines marked out. They did
not seem to see the difficulties in the way,
n;r the dim results from which they, too,
would suffer should the movement which
they advocate fail of success. They were
oonftdent of success.
Faueetts, Enfield and Littleton town
ships were not represented bj delegates
though there were gentlemen present
from all of them. Id Enfield, ouly two
persons attended the primary, in Faueetts
five or six were present, and in these two
townships no action was taken. In Lit
tleton we were informed that no meeting
was held. The failure to hold meetings
in those townships and send delegates was
explained by the statement that the notice
gave such shoit time the people did not
know of it.
Among the duly accredited delegates
were W R Harvey a white Republican
and R J Mayo, H J Hewlin and Georgo
Powell, colored, and the three latter had a
good deal to do with the business in hand-Ex-Senator
J J Goodwyn " was also
present and took a prominent part in the
proceedings, and his cxpenenoo in such
matters was very useful to the convention.
The colored brethren were also well up in
parliamentary tactics and showed famil
iarity with the rules which usually govern
deliberative bodies. Rut the committee
was ready to report by thi time, and our
observations were cut short.
The committee reported nil ''' lown-
thips represented, and the chair stated
that the convention could allow townships
to be represented by those who were
present, or the vote could be apportioned
among them.
Mr. Simmons said owing to the short
ness of the time given, meetings were not
held in every towuship.
l? .T Mnvn thought the names ot
v O
delegates should be reported.
II. J. Hewlin moved that those deta
eates who were duly elected bo admitted
and that those in attendance from town
ships which had held no meetings should
elect delegates to represent their town
ship' This nrti'M) bting adapted the
chair ruied that the commit! creden
tials should prepare a ' v s pates
and also report the representation allowed
each township.
Mr, J. II. Wood stated that he had
been appointed n delcgato from Weldon
township without his knowledge and
asked that lie be excused and sonic one
else put in his place. Mr. Wood was
excused, and a delegate retnatked as he
left the hall that Mr. Wood had been put.
ou the delegation at his own request.
W. M. Martin for the committee ou

reconimeuded that each township have

names, as follows :

pointed to prepare a platform, which
being amended so as to include the chair
man on i ho committee, was adopted, aud
the chair was directed to name the
committee and was given further time to
make his selections.
The convention then decided to elect
a eliainm.n of tho county executive com
mittee and tho following . nominations
were made: E A Tliorne, Dr II A
Patterson, W E Bowers, C P Simmons,
W M Martin. The names of E A Thome
and C P Simmons were withdrawn at
their request, as was also Dr Patterson
upon the statement of Mr Bowers that
the Dr was not present and it was not
known whether ho would accept, lie
said ho would favor the election of Dr
Patterson if ho was certain he would
accept. The ballot by townships resulted
iu the election of Mr. Bowers, he receiv
ing 75votes and Mr. Martin 2.
Mr. Simmons said ho had thought up
on the question considerably and had
concluded that the convention ought to
make nomioations for the Legislature
to day and make no other nominations,
and made a motion to that effect seconded
by Mr. J. A. Pope.

convention as a uiatter ot prudence.

He had no selfish motive iu making the

Mr. Patterson again opposed (he n o-

Mr. Shearin said it was necessary to
elect delegates to day because the Con

for another mectiug.
