County Convention-, to Sleet Delegatsa to the State and DongreMlonal Conven- -tlone-Some Fine Bbarpehootlns by Capt. S. W. Boblea Cnairman Mai on Favors Potion with Be- pablicaoa. - . . ' At 1.15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the People's party convention for New Hanover county was called to order in the Court House. Mr. L. R. Mason, chairman ef the County Executive Committee, stated that the convention had been called to elect delegates to the State and Con gressional Conventions. This was the first time, he said, that they had been able to meet in the court ho use. "While you are all well aware," be said, "that the old parties have turned up their noses at ns. yet one of them has lumped on our platform and asks ns to accept the men they have set up. The People's party will always be against na tional banks and will never vote for the president of a national bank. They have set up one man, who if he acts right, will act for the principles we proclaim, and if Sewall will come down either volun tarily or by consent, and they indorse Watson, the ticket will be elected. The.. People's party of the South and at large will never support Mr. Sewall. If two Vice Presidents are run (Sewall and Watson) the McKinley and Hobart ticket will be elected. The Republicans of the State have dealt fairly -with us and if they will do so again it is to our advantage to move with them. We are here to-day to hear the sentiment and to see with whom we shall co-operate. The meeting will now go into the election of a chairman." Messrs. S. W. Nobles and : L. R. Ma son were piacea in nomination. Mr. Nobles received four votes. Mr. Mason received nineteen votes, and was - de clared elected. Chairman Mason said the next busi ness belore the convention was tne election of delegates to the State Con vention.. Mr. S. W. Nobles said he knew the Chairman had organizsd a plan, honest in his belief, but he wanted to know if debate on the other side would be al lowed. Being answered in the affirma tive, Mr. Nobles continued : "The chair man, satisfied with having joined the ranks of the Republican party once, he wants to do so again. We did join the Republican . party last time to bring about one issue, to repeal the election law. We are not Democrats, nor are we Republicans, but we are children of the two parties. We must now see whether we love 6ur father best, or onr mother best. We must act for onr best interest. The tax list will show that there are more white men in the county than colored men. I know white men that are Republicans, but I can't turn it around the other way. Let it be understood that we send delegates to Raleigh on August 18th to see which we will favor. I was one of the original eleven of the People's party of New Hanover county and then we didn't have a Judas with us. If there is any one pre sent who is not a ropuiist, let s near him speak," Capt. W: P. Oldham, who was pres ent, was called upon. capt. umnam said, "I am not a Pop. I hate to see the head trying to prejudice his sur roundings, raising the cry that they have been snubbed and never been ad mitted ta hold meetings in the court house. They have never been excluded. Why should we stir up strife among our selves. I am just as anxious as any one to see the Populists and Democrats walking hand in hand. You have an inclination to lead the Popnlists into the Republican ranks. I didn't come here to make a soeech nor ao l intena to make one, but 1 feel confident that you are not expressing the general opinion." Mr. Nobles said, "I understand. Mr. Mason, a new party or enterprise is al ways snubbed, I don'r want to instruct our delegates to work with one party, nor do I want it appear that we have in structed them." Chief of Police John R. Melton here interrupted Mr. Nobles and told him he didn't know whether he was a Popu list or a Democrat, " ; Mr. Nobles replied that he was not after an office nor would he have one, but was present on patriotic grounds. He further stated that he had not been notified, nor did he know that the con vention was going to be held until an hour ago; that there was not a quorum present of the People's party. The roll was called and the following precincts and townships were repre sen ted: First, second, third, fourth and fifth precincts of the First Ward; the first and second precincts of the Third Ward; the first and fourth pre cincts of the Fifth Ward and Harnett township. , The following were not represented: The Second Ward, the first and second precincts of the Fourth Ward, the second and third precincts of the Fifth Ward, Cape Fear township, Masonboro town ship and Federal Point township. ' Mr. Melton moved that the chair ap point delegates to the State Conven tion. , Mr. Melton accepted an amendment made to his motion by Mr. R. F. Gore, that the chair appoint a committee of fifteen to select delegates to the State convention. Mr. Nobles opposed the motion. Mr. Melton : again reminded Mr. Nobles of his Democratic principles. Mr. Nobles said this was not a Popu list convention. "' Mr. Melton here arose to a point of order. ; Mr. Nobles said he would notify him that there would be a protest. . The chairman informed him that he was out of order, but Mr. Nobles kept on, saying that he warned them not to go ahead. The question was put, resulting m a vote of nineteen yeas Noes were called ; for, but some of the delegates misunderstood the motion, and the vote was taken over, but the reporter failed to catch the negative side. Mr. R. F. Gore moved that the chair authorize the same committee to appoint delegates to the Congressional Conven tion.' This motion was seconded by Mr. Melton. Mr, Nobles suggested that they carry it down to Republican headquarters and consult. . - -. The question to appoint delegates was put, and declared carried. ,. Mr. Nobles said the convention was cut and dried and that he would go to Raleigh himself, Mr. Melton said he would see that he got there. Mr. No bles said he didn't need his consent. Mr. C. S. 'Andrews here arose and said that he had been appointed to go to Raleigh by the Keith-Butler ring. Mr. Nobles ' said he did not know any thing about , the Keith-Butler ring, nor did he know anything about the Melton-Mason ring, J ".; Then ensued . a game of "tit for tat" between Mr. Nobles and the chair, the latter, asserting that Nobles was out of order.- .' . .-. ; Mr. Nobles finally sat down, remark ing, "Well, that's right; don't let me speak." The meeting then adjourned. Mr. Nobles, Mr. Mason and a few others had a further discussion . at the City Hall. Mr. Nobles, in conversation with a Star reporter, said that there was not a quorum present at the meet ing and that it was not a convention . that only alew had been notified. The names oi tne gentlemen present wno re presented the different precincts were not given in the convention, Later, the committee with L. H. Bry ant chairman, appointed committees as follows: State Convention L. R. Mason, L. H. Bryant, J. R. Melton, L. J. King, C. R. Mason, Dr. Wright Hall. Rev. J. M. King, J. F. Mason, E.

Detective J. E. Brennon arrived in the city Friday afternoon, bringing with him two colored men Joe Singleton and Wm. Wilkinson charged with burglary and larceny. On Inly 8ch last, the residence of Mr. Junius Davis, on Third street near Chesnut, was robbed; a few nights after wards the residence of Mr. H. A. Bagg, on Sixth between Chesnut and Princess streets, was burglarized, Mr. Horace Bagg having a scuffle with the burglar. A few days afterward the residence of Mr. H. Hearn was entered, and Glisson Bros, store on' Eighth and Castle streetsjras robbed. Mayor Harriss as signed Detective Brennon on the case and Mr. Brennon immediately set to. work. About a week ago he traced the thieves into South Carolina, about forty miles from Charleston, and telegraphed to Mayor Harriss for the necessary pa pers to make arrests. The Mayor sent the warrants and Brennon arrested the men in the woods and brought them back to Wilmington. One of the men had on a pair of ; pants with Mr. Davis' name on them. The other man had on a pair of Mr. Davis socks, and in a satchel which the men had were fonnd different articles belonging to Mr. Davis; also about 400 keys and an instrument to pick locks and a burglar's signal whistle. i . Dectective Brennon told a Star re porter last evening that he hadevi- dence against the men for robbing Glis son Bros.' store, Mr. Haar's residence, and several offices in the city, and also evidence that Sintleton is the man who entered Mr. Bagg's house.

" . - O- J udge Russell arrived in the citv to day to attend the meeting of . the trus tees of the University. .The Judge is having very little to say at present. He is doing his best to prevail on the Popu lists to fuse on State matters. The Pop nlists tell him that he and Mr. McKin ley must retire from view. ''Unreason able." savs the fudge.

JMott arrived here to-day from Washington. -He thinks that the Dem ocratic Executive Committee made a Step in the right direction in proposing fusion on electors with the Populists. "I am for a union of all silver forces," said Dr. Mott, ' and to this end I think the proposition should have been broader and included a plan for co-operation on State matters." He is of the opinion that such a combination would tend to solidify the silver forces in the State. Dr. Mott says party lines must be wiped out. 'The Democratic machine can't hope to elect a ticket in this State, and must not. I will fight my machine," he says. Dr Mott says, "I came to this State to en ter the campaign. I shall support the Bryan electors, and Mr. Bryan's election means the organization out of bis supporters of a great party on distinctive American lines. A free sil ver ticket honestly and jastly formed in this State, without reference to party lines, will get the support of a large num ber of Republicans, probably as many as fifty thousand.

CHARLOTTE'S BICYCLE RACE. Extract from the Observer's Report. In the half-mile handicap Turrentine, of Wilmington, won in fine style by six wheels length Mudd second and Schade third. The judges and referee were influenced by spectators and others to wrongfully disaualifv. Turrentine on the supposition that be was pushed on too soon by bis starter, consequently the race was given to Mudd. with Schade second. The L. A.
