Mr' Craige was nominated by E. J. Justice of McDowell ;i Seconded by Francis D. Winston of Bertie. , j Though the caucus was scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock it was 8.20 before Francis D. Winston, of Bertie county, rapped for order, and called W. B. Council, of Watauga, to the chair.' j Henry A. "Gilliam, of Edgecombe, was elected secretary and Mr. H. McD. Robinson, of Cumberland, assistant secretary The temporary organisa tion was made permanent. All persons, except. Democratic members of the caucus, were then excluded fronrvth hall. When it came to making out the roll of members a fight arose- over allowing Democratic contestants from Greene and Pamlico counties to be present in caucus and vote. Judge Allen called attention to the fact that the roll showed that these twoojnties were represented by Republicans and Populists. "On the first count of the election returns,"' he said, "The Re publican and Populist candidates were' victorious and they were given certificates; but the second count re vealed the fact that they were beaten and Democrats elected, ,and the clerks so certified." He, therefore, moved that Mr. Sugg of Greene, and Mr. Pool of Pamlico, be admitted to the caucus. This meant tro more votes for Connor. The other side fought it. It was finally decided to allow the two Representatives seats in the caucus, but not permit them 'to vote. This was considered a sort of adog fall,both sides seeming to fear a test of strength on it. A- . I Mr. Winston moved that a commit tee be appointed to fix, the number of House employes, clerks; and laborers. This was passed. I j Mr. D. H ' McLean .moved that no one but white men be employed when the; can be had, from the highest to the lowest servant. This was unani mously carried, j. jThis brought the caucus to the nomi nation of a presiding officer. This committee consisted .'.of, Francis D. Winston, W.' R. j Allen, Locke Craige and H. G. Connor. I After Judge Connor's nomination, a committee, composed of Messrs. Over man, Allen and Craige, escorted him into the ' hall and Judge Connor ac cepted in a few words.
