The Republican convention couveaed in M tropolitan Hall; at Raleigh, N. C, on tbe ll'.h instant, with about 400 del egates' and alternates present;- At 12 o'clock sharp, Dr. J. J. Molt, chair man of tLe state executive committee, rapped the convention to order and re quested John B. Greller of Greensboro; to act as temporary secretary, and to read the official call for the convention. Dr. Molt then appointed a committee on credentials,, as follows: .John H. Cox, of the 1st district; W. E. Clarke, of tho 31 district; Hon Gei. Price, jr., of the 3 J; Stewart Ellison, of the 4:h district; J. P. Stanton, pi the Otb; O. J. Spear es, of Uie Ctb; J. Q. A. Bry ant of ibe 7tb; D. C reason, of the 8th. The committee retired, when the chairman, D-. Mott, called Hon. Dan'l L Russell to act as temporary chair man, who assumed tbe duties amid load cheers,1 and delivered an able speech. The Raleigh A'cwg and Observer reports it briefly as follows: - j ' r ''He said be wai a man who bad for Lfong years stoxl for human 1 rights on southern soil. Ho said tie greatest and j grandest of men In the history of the republic were the original aboli tlonitt and the Suatbern Rfpubllcans. He declared that the laUer had driven the Democrats into adopting their pre sent platform. All was evidence of the fact.he dec'ared.that "old John Brown's soul was still marching ou." He said that all things pointed to the fact that soon North Carolina would be redeemed. Judje, Russell went on to speak of the, dissensions a-ooog the Democrats. Re ferring to the prohibition question, he said thai so far as be was concerned, it was res aljdisatt. He wai a prohibi tionist opoa principle, but be was will log to enter the ranks of the cdalition itts, and uike down tho oligarchical system of .state government. He was for the liberal muremeot, because tb peoplo cf North Carolloa were now about to rise in their might and rebuke Ihf fraud of 1875, when the free consti tution Was stricken down. To-day, be aid, we ! were living under a consti tution adopted by fraad. Let tbe ila torian write it down that before the fraad of; Louisiana were talked about, North Carolina's constitution was wres ted Iron te RepobHcaaa by rascality. There was some reason, be said. If the Republicans would be on the alert and watch the: ballot boxes for frauds, their party would wta In the approacbltg campaign, Ue favored edacaUon by the national 5 .Teraacnt, and bit party was not dip cd to stand quibble about aUt rlgbu. He said alto that fair trade' and not fre trade would be tbe , tsotlo of . the CepubU can party! lit said that our cotton In dustries bd the u ode vtloiped water power In the state needed rotectlon, as did also bur u&mb?ed Irca. lit aald that the roues men of the acuta were beglaalej to undcnUnl that titlr IntertsU ud bonora by trxrt frta the Democratle pa ty and wtre ttrpi?2cat froa the sltJows cf a clI.td xszl AtUt this tlecUoa b? v-ouA4 ts la jtiacnra 'b 2anJ Carallna bid ttrrrti fcytbt t'.i cf VirxisI t-4 tsreed lit tt ti tie nzXz'i 1 Wt f ;r?t s" f"a 9 wastbta till: I ca ad t-cie. He ccrri-'iui tts n.-:--" nr:;wta in the state, upon this convention of the peopled' A new era ' he dcc'aied, had dawned in the ; state. The appro val aod endorsement of all liberal men in this new departure ware asjured. It was tn attempt to liftc the state cut of the old rust into the. high road ot pros perity. He was in favprf "liberalism,'; and that was the doctrine, he declared, which the. Republicans prorl"inicd in l?G8. He said the principlt a cf the Republican party were eniwiatd around the hearts of every man in the . ' stated He went on to siy that iu the past , ten years there had been too , much party and too little pari tilis tn, and that in the name of, local se'f-govern meat the Democrats bad destroyed local self government. He.-uked ifihere was a man in the hall who would .not- eadoraa (lib eralism He then went oa to eulogize llahone, whom be termed thd .."aavjor of Virginia," add said that, Samson like, be had dragged down the edifice of Democracy. To day there were in Virginia colore 1 po'iceraen, colored jurymen, and the whipping post was torn down. lie asked . who would op pose the. coming one of the "Liberal white gentlemen." Some said they were coming over for office, but he didn't care what they came fur so they came. He spoke of the, prohibition act, sayiug that hU objsctioti to "it was Jthat it broke up the .snaadJ dealer, and give monopoly to the druggist. He a t tacked the' plan , of allowing the ap pointment of echojl conatnitteemen by the magistrates, denouncing it as in iqoitoui. ;JIe said that the Democratic party was as blind as any adder in Au gust, and declared that an aUeospt was to be made to fight o'n the 1 color line again, which woulf fail, v He touched again on the prohibition q-tsstion. He thanked God the negro had dropped out of this cutitest, as he was aii element of both sides. He declared tbe prospects for. carrying the slate were bttter ihan at any time-since 18G3. James E. Boyd was .tho m xi fj-eker. He gave a"boom" to ibe Liberal move ment, saying that the. Republicans wanted to shake hands wita everybody. Hesaid the great heart of the nort h had yearned for liberalism in the souih.and was joyful at the: movement in piogre here. His view was that e very man who turned his fac irom the Demo cratic organization tlouM be welcom ed, encoursged and Liscebires fostered. He said tthat, the staUmenfs made by Democrats that the v were not afraid of the Liberal movement, wtre false. The Democrats had always played a game of bluff, the ass in the lion's skin, hav ing no real strength. He then went on to say that parties in this -convention bad intimated that they would bolt if the liberal movement were eud i se ?. He denounced such a oursoai i ig that thrjtroper thing to d wa$ to life rp tl e new party and its followers. J. E. O'Hara, colored, was the last speaker, and he at once tcok up the lib eral movement, sayiog that it was as sured that the Republicans, were de termined to stand on that platform, en dorse it, and back it. He said that if at the next election the vote4 were ccuat ed as they were cast, v'ctory for the coalition movement wa swartd Ue said that all that was atked by this ooalilioa was, that Djmccrats Repub licans, blacks and whites, thou'd sharer alike. 1 He said that tbe Rernblicins held tie Democrats, as a party, re sponsible for the probihitl n act, and demanded that they ba held to such responsibility."
