The Committee on Credentials was in
session until 2.30 this morning and de
cided all of the contests except Per
auimans.i The decisions were, of course,
f avorab'e to Dcckery, and they have to
go before the convention for endorse
ment. The decision rendered in the
counties are given, viz: Craven, dele
gation divided; Cumberland, delegation
divided; Edgecombe, Doekery delegates
seated; Franklin, John Williamson, who
is for Dockeryt is seated; Halifax, con
test withdrawn; Mecklenburg, delegation
divided; TJnion Doekery delegates seat
ed; Wake, Jim Young s crowd downed
and the Dockerv delegation seated; Wil
son, Sharp's crowd turned down; in
Wilkes, Mott's ; crowd sjated.
A great deal of caucussing - went on
last night. It is generally thought this
morning that Doekery will get the nomi
nation en the first ballot, though it he
fails watch, Jim Boyd. Boyd has a won
derful hold on the convention.
The fact became generally known this
morning that the Committee on Cre
dentials was ready to report, and by 10
o'clock the hall Was well filled. There
was a great kick by local Republicans
and others without tickets when per
sons were refused admission to the
gallery this morning. It became neces
sary to exclude the' hangers on, who
went early and monopouzsa seats.
It only takes the mention of the name
of some local Republican by loving con
stituents in the convention to bring a
patriotic speech from the man men
tioned. These speeches are not so ac
ceptably received unless preceded by a

Special Star Telegram
The Republican State Convention met
to-day at noon for the fifth time after
assembling yesterday morning.: The
Committee on Credentials was the cause
of the delay, and its report was finally
repudiated by a pool of the Russell,
Boyd and Moody forces. The commit
tee's majority report favored seat
ing the Doekery delegation in six
counties, gave Russell one county, and
divided threeThs minority report,
which 'gave the counties of Union,
Wilson and Perquimans j. to Doekery;
and Wilkes, Meckleaburg.Wake,
Craven, Cumberland, Edgecombe and
Franklin counties . to Russell, was
adopted, after each county was taken np
separately and the contestees and con
testants given ten minutes speeches.
Senator Cook was opposed in his ma-'
tion to have the contests considered
separately by Congressman Settle.
The convention became ven disor
derly while the minority report was be
ing adopted, and Chalrmin Holton had
to call on Senator Pritchard to quiet the
delegates. There was a heated 'discus
sion when Cumberland and .Franklin
counties were reached, but the combine
made by Bsyd, Moody and Russell to.
defeat the Doekery delegates who we're
ahead could not be overcome. Chair
man Holton even went so far as to
speak, in behalf of John Williamson
while presiding over the convention.
John Dancy nominated Senator
Pritchard for permanent chairm in of
the convention, but the latter declined.
G. Z. French nominated Marshall Mott;
V. S. Lusk was also nominated. Mott
received 141 votes and Lusk 97. Mott's
election was made: unanimous. '
Delegates French and Pearson were
appointed to escort Mott to the chair.
Mott made a short speech, saying some
thing friendly of all the Candidates.
Judge Ewart offered a resolution
nomination Jeter C. Pritchard as the
choice of the Republican party in the
State for United States Senator, and
pledging the de-egates toj: secure his
election b all honorable means. The
rMiiln tion 'was wildlv endorsed by a
unanimous vote.

The combination against Doekery
was a Boyd move. He increased Rus

Russell and Doekery ' both have about
the same number. Brjyd expects to
capture the nomination. Some of
the Doekery delegates are furious with
Boyd and may vote for Russell id spite.
11.20 p. m. The convention was con
vened again to-night at 8 15. A motion
to limit speeches to five minutes was
carried. Congressman Pearson was ap
pointed chairman of the Committee on
Platform and Resolutions. H. A. Gulger
was nominated for elector at large by
J. M. Moody.. His election was unani
mous. Oscar Spears was selected as the
other elector. . j
When Chairman Mott announced that
nominations for Governor were in order,
pandemonium broke loose in the con
vention - and candidates' names were
on the lips of every delegate. j
The resolution declaring for 'fusion
with the Populists was adopted.
G. Z. French first put in nomination
D. L. Russell, in a strong and pleasant
speech which was enthusiastically re
ceived. Boyd, Doekery, Moody and
Lusk were named in the order, mentioned-

" There is a great demonstration for
Judge Russell. Young Doekery hol
lered, "Doekery men, stand to your
guns;" but his cry was drowned by
shouts for Russell. At this minute a
Russell banner was brought Into the
hall with a picture of Dan Russell and
the words inscribed on it, "D. L. Rus

lowed was one of wild enthusiasm for
Russell. .

Senator Moody came forward after

Raleigh. N. C, May 15. The second
day's session of the Republican state
Convention began at noon, State Chair
man Holton presiding., four nours
were devoted to passing upon the report
of the Credentials Committee,; and in
each case when a vote was taken the
delegates favorable to Russell for jov
ernor were seated by an overwhelming
maioritv. This was done evidently as a
Cat at Chairman Holton, as the Russell
men charged that be had pacnea tne
Credentials Committee with Doekery
men. There was a great deal 01 dis
order, and some delegates said harsn
words about Holton.
Senator Pritchaid was nominatea as
permanent chairman of the convention
but declared ne wouia noi accept. uc
mutest for that Dosition was then be
tween V. I. Lusk and Marshall L. Mott
and the latter, who 4S the son ot ur.
Mott, chairman of the National Silver
party, was the winner.

to midnight, D. L. Russell leading wnn
O. H. Djckery second, J. B. Boyd third
and J. M. Moody fourth. I .
Senator fritcnarja suomuwa iac ic
port of the conference committee, of
which he was chairman, to arrange terms
of fusion with Populists. ! The State
Committee of the latter party rejected
the Republican proposition,! which was
for division of the State officers and co
operation on State, Congressional and
local affairs. The report made by ; Sena
tor Pritchard was adopted, j It goes on
to say that if the Populist ' State Con
vention fails or refuses to nominate its
part of the candidates on the atate
ticket, the Republican State Committee,
is given power to complete the State
ticket. : - ' ' r ' !
The Populists who met here yester
day to arrange with the Republicans for
this fusion are said by Senator Butler's
State Committee ot Populists to; in no
wis: reoreseat their party and to have
no authority to speak
pledge it.
The special correspondent of the
Raleiph News and Observer at Chatta
nooga, Tenn., writes that paper
The delegates from Wilmington, Revs.
Oliver and Kramer, went to the Conven
tion determined, if possible, to secure
the meeting next year for their city.
They were backed up by the Board ot
Trade as well as by the Christian peo
ple of all denominations, and citizens
generally. From "start to finish" they
worked every delegate that could be
stopped long enough to listen to them,
and although Little Rock, Ark., was
anxious for the Convention to meet there,
and Louisville, Ky., stood ready to invite
the body, Wilmington was chosen. Mr.
Oliver said, if necessary, they would
entertain 1,600 delegates, and that the
compress warehouse would be fitted up
as an auditorium capable of seating
4,000 people. This last statement was
especially comforting to many of the
delegates who had been frequently
crowded out of the meet'ng in Chatta
nooga, the auditorium room of the Frst
Baptist church there being always
quickly filled by 1,200 people, the limit
of Its accommodation.
The meeting of the Southern Baptist
Convention is a great event to any city
acd to the State as well, and we trust
all our people will feel interested in join
ing hands with Wilmington in giving
the Convention every needed comfort
and attention for its session in 1897.
