The city is fairly alive with delegates.
The sidewalks on Fayetteville and Mar
tin streets are fairly blocked. The black,
blue and red predominate and occa
sionally a "lily white" is seen in Republi
can circles. 9. : ; '
This morning Senator Pritchard. Con
gressman Richmond Pearson, John B.
Eaves, H. L. Grant, B. Lusk, M. L.
Mott, S. H. Buchanan and a number of
other prominent Republicans arrived
here.
Mr. James E.! Bovd was the third of
the Republican Gabernatorial candi
dates to arrive in the city. This gen
tleman came - yesterday afternoon and
,his friends say that he is the man of the
hour. Mr, Boyd certainly holds a uniqne
position. He is accredited with thirty
Votes and if there is no election after
several ballots have been taken, the
Greensboro man will bear watching.
Mr. Boyd was approached by your cor
respondent and he talked interestingly
of the situation. Mr. Boyd thinks it
would be unwise for the committee to
declare on the money question, against
civil service reform or any other meas
ure. "What is the use for us to try to
lay down a platform for our organiza
tion, when the party meets in a few
weeks?" Mr, Boyd is flatly opposed to
declaring against civil service reform.
The convention will likely be in ses
sion two days. It is generally believed
that it will be impossible to reach a vote
Thursday.
The delegates to the Congressional
Convention are holding a caucus this
morning. It will certainly endorse Mc
Kinley. Every district except the Fifth
will have endorsed McKinley when the
Fourth acts: The State Convention is
near'y unanimous for McKinley. Sena
tor Pritchard and Jim Young will likely
be two of the four delegates-at large.
Strong McK'oley resolutions will be
passed.
L L Jenkins, of Gastonia, and W. W.
Jenkins, ol Wake, are candidates for the
nomination for Treasurer. Very little is
being said about ths other offices. - -
Free silver is going to cause a great
stir. Nearly all the leaders of note are
opposed to taking action.' The negro
vote will decide the matter when a vote
comes. None ol them profess to be able
to express an intelligent opinion on the
subject. ' . ; .
The Caucasian this week will have a
good deal to say about "the statement
made by Senator Butler to the last Leg
islature that he favored co-operation
again, and in the event of such co-oper
ation mat he lavored the election of a
Republican for Senator to succeed Sen
ator Pritchard." ' x I
. In concluding a long editorial justify
ing Senator Butler u pon Its course, it
says: "But if the majority of the Peo
ple's party in State, Convention shall
say that because Senator Butler was
elected to the -long term, they feel
bound to accept any terms that the Re
publicans may name for co-operation,
even if it be such terms as means the
disintegration of the People's party,
then Senator Butler will hand in
promptly his resignation as Senator
rather .than have the People's party
make such a sacrifice on his account."
The Caucasian also masts the asser
tion that the Republicans are trying to
disintegrate their party and are actively
distributing the Gill-Amos circular and
in some instances have offered to pay
the expenses of any People's party man
who would come to Raleigh this week to
meet him.
Major W. A. Guthrie, the Populist
candidate for Governor, contributes an
article to the Caucasian on the subject
of legal tender by States. Major Guthrie
holds that a State, as a constitutional
right, may make gold and silver coin cf
the United States, including "trade dol
lars." 1 x .
Last week ths Carolina Brownstone
Company's property of Sanlord was bid
in under a judgment at a public sale bv
a Raleigh gentleman for $155. The prop
erty is said to be worth $10,000 and the
machinery used in quarrying the brown
stone Is valued at $1,500. The Carolina
Brownstone Company did a large busi
ness all over the entire country until six
months ago, when it suddenly closed
down. Three quarries were worked by
as many as fifty hands and an excellent
quality of brownstone was turned out
which commanded a ready sale.
A venerable walker came into Raleigh
a day or two ago. His name was Hunt
and he lives near Morrisville. I He is 92
years old-and walked to Raleigh and
back, keeping up a gait that would have
tired out some of our best walkers.
Special Star Telegram
Six hundred Republicans are already
here to attend1 the State Convention
which will in all probability be in ses
sion two days.
The executive committee tailed to
meet to-day to pass on the claims of
contesting delegates. The 1 Dockery
people killed this plan, which was a part
of the Russell game, by absenting them
selves. Chairman Holton will appoint
the committee on credentials, which
will make the report on contests. .
The delegates from ths Ninth district
held a meeting this afternoon and en
dorsed Senator Pritchard for chairman
of the executive committee, j The fight
is oh between Senator Pritchard and
Holton for the chairmanship. . It will
be bittet and close. Holton gets Dock
ery's support. J
To-night a McKinleyrPritcbard caucus
was held in the Opera House. H. C
Dockery and at least one hundred Dock
ery men, claiming to be for McKinley
and Pritchard, made application-for ad
mittance. The doorkeeper refused to
let them in, and Col. Dockery then took
a stand on the street 6Mying and ad
dressed the crowd, sfcrstigmatized the
meeting as a Dan Russell caucus gath
ering, and said it was an insult to them.
He advised the Dockery people to repair
to their headquarters. . Trouble was im
minent, for the crowd which j had gath
ered wanted to go in by force. Senator
Pritchard, whohad been sent for, ap
peared and said that the object of the
meeting had been misunderstood. He
addressed the crowd from the door-steps
and said the caucus was held to make
nominations for delegates to the Na
tional Convention. Pritchard said that
the meeting was held in the interest of
none of the candidates for Governor
Quiet was restored and some of the
Dockery men went into the caucus.
Amos and Gill, the Populists who are
here to arrange fusion with the Repub
licans, regardless of Butler and the or
ganization, say that seventy counties are
represented. They have only about
twenty delegates. A committee of seven,
with Judge Whitaker as chairman, met
with the Republican committee to -nigh)
to consult about fusion with the Popu
lists. It will be decided whether a
straight ticket wiil be put up.
At the meeting in the Op:ra House
to-night, Marshall Mott and a number
of others made speeches. Holton was
severely criticised. Resolutions which
are a straddle on the financial question,
have been prepared by Pritchard and
Pearson. The silverites say they are
not acceptable.
The Pritcbard-McKinley caucus in the
Opera House endorsed Pritchard for
chairman of the executive committee.
The Moody and Boyd factions voted
with the Russell delegates in endorsing
him. Cy Thompson is here, but be is
not endorsing the Amos-Gill crowd.
Twenty of the delegates to St. Louis
from this State will be for McKinley.
The committee of Populists, headed
by Judge Whitaker, Am os and Gill went
into conference at 11 o'clock with the
Republican sub-committee. 'The Popu
lists demand the Governor, but the Re
publicans have laid down their ultima
tum. That is, they will not yield the
Governor. This conference, like the
one with Butler and his committee, will
fall flat.
i By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Raleigh, N. C, May 13 Over a
thousand Republicans are here to at
tend the State Convention to-morrow.
The excitement is intense. There is a
very sharp quarrel between Senator
Pritchard and State Chairman Holton,
and also between the Russell and Dock
ery factions. Thelatter is so bitter that
it looks to-night like James E. Boyd
will be nominated for Governor. Chair
man Holton says he thinks Dockery
will be nominated. He says no free
coinage resolution will be adopted. Sen
ator Prichard was interviewed and said:
"There is no organized-opposition to
McKinley. There -is an overwhelm
ing inviution for me to become
State Chairman. I don't desire it
but prefer to see Holton retain it.
The convention will declare for both
gold and silver. The resolution will be
somewhat stronger than the Ohio reso
lution.) There is no opposition, so far as
I know, to me as Senator. I really can't
say who will be nominated for Governor.
It is impossible to give an intelligent
forecast. I will offer a strong resolution
in favor of a high protective tariff for the
raw materials of the South and the agri
cultural products of the country; also, a
resolution for protection to ship-owners,
in accordance with the proposed legisla
tion by Senator Elkins. A number of
Populists are here to Confer with ns on.
terms looking to fusion upon the basis
cf a division of the State ticket."
